The experience and knowledge they provide help my customers layout the spaces most couldn't dream of! As a General Contractor, I need designs that not only look amazing but function to my customers expectations. Hammond Design delivers every time. I recommended them for any size remodel! **★★★★★ — Puccio Electric Inc, Aug. 2017** > There are to many positives to list about Hammond Design. > This team is the FRIENDLIEST and most knowledgeable group of designers you could ever ask for. Without question one of our highest recommended designer . They have an amazing ability to get it done on time and on budget and work with amazing vendors and sub contractors . . **★★★★ — rosaros, April 2015** > Melissa Hammond has designed two complete rooms for us, plus some finishing touches in other rooms. Before starting any project, she learned our likes and dislikes, how the area will be used, and the mood we’re trying to achieve. Thus she created rooms that reflect our tastes and needs. Her skill at envisioning the finished room enables her to select colors and coordinate pieces that work well with each other. We enjoyed working with her and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again. **★★★★★ — loriowen, April 2015** > We have hired Melissa of Hammond Design on two separate occasions. The first was to reconstruct our living room which included our oddly shaped fireplace and next to redo our dated, falling apart kitchen. Melissa and her team were excellent to work with on all counts. They were respectful of our design ideas, always on time and prompt to reply be it by email or phone call. One of the main reasons that we would use Hammond Design again is that Melissa helped cut through the choices. She had a good sense of our style and was able to focus us on 4-8 options. This was a massive time and stress saver for us personally. Melissa was a joy to work with and we would not hesitate to hire her again on our next renovation project. **★★★★★ — joni1951, April 2015** > Melissa was great to work with. She zeroed in quickly on our style and provided excellent materials to choose from. We were very happy with the quality, selection and design of the materials that she sourced and purchased for our project. We are very happy with the end product. **★★★★★ — olsonkris, March 2015** > Melissa was easily able to understand the vision I had but I was unable to clearly articulate. She created a space that went beyond my expectations mixing modern clean lines and vintage comfort. From the color palette to the layout and all the little details in between, the space is gorgeous and unique. Absolutely everyone who has seen it has commented on how beautiful it is. **Comment from Hammond Design:** > Thanks for your kind words! It was a great project to work on and I'm so happy with the way it turned out. Glad to hear everyone else likes it, too! **★★★★ — ampooh4216, March 2015** > I worked with Melissa for over six months on the interior design work for my home. I couldn't be more thrilled. It was a highly collaborative project that allowed me to express my tastes/style but in very organized, thoughtful way. My family of six can now live in a beautiful space that is also highly functional (and durable). Melissa was a true partner every step of the way. I only wish I had more rooms for her to help design! **Comment from Hammond Design:** > Thank you for your kind words! You are a delight to work with as well. **★★★★★ — Ben Op, Jan. 2015** > I have hired and worked with many design professionals and I can absolutely say Hammond Design is top notch! Melissa Hammond, the owner and I have worked together on many projects for many different clients and my experience is always the same: highly professional. I notice that no matter who the client is, Melissa Hammond always builds an amazing rapport and trust with them that is evident and helpful throughout the entire design & construction process. I know that in the home design business, trust and communication are everything and this is one thing Hammond does exceptionally. Another good example is what happens when things don't go smoothly; an order comes in wrong from the supplier, a product isn't available, or a client wants makes a dramatic change. Not to worry, because these are consistently dealt with in a calm, constructive and professional manner- it makes all of the difference. I am regularly impressed by the finished product and that is why recommend Hammond Design to my clients. **★★★★★ — kontop, Jan. 2015** > Melissa and her team helped us redesign and renovate an old home from the 1800s. Her concept modernized the layout by opening up the kitchen/living area, creating a more spacious master bathroom as well as utlizing innovative space-saving solutions such as built-ins throughout the house. Her suggestions were extremely practical but also catered precisely to our modern taste. We were expecting our first child, and she even designed a whimsical nursery, and helped us pick out amazing pieces of furniture for every room. Melissa and her assistant Lauren were an absolute pleasure - highly responsive and innovative with difficult problems. I would recommend them to any client, across project scope or design sensibilities. My highest praise! **★★★★★ — adamscrissy, Jan. 2015** > Melissa is a delight to work with. She spent our initial meeting getting to know us, our space, and our ideas for how we wanted our rooms to look and function. When we first contacted Melissa, all we knew was that we wanted our space to be comfortable, casual, and kid- (and dog-) friendly. And she really understood that. A few weeks later, she presented several design options and helped us pick and choose what we liked about each one. From there, she came up with a design that was perfect for us. > > She set us up with a fabulous contractor to help carry out her plan. The renovations included new construction windows, widening a doorway, installing radiant heat, replacing tiles, and installing a custom built media cabinet and window seating (designed by Melissa). While the renovations were taking place, Melissa shopped for new furniture, rugs, lighting, and fabrics. She always presented several options that will work well in the space and helped us choose between them. She has an amazing eye for detail, all the while keeping our tastes in mind. > > As the renovations were coming to an end, she designed window treatments and helped us choose paint colors. She found an amazing company to do the custom window treatments and cushions for the window seating. The finished product far exceeded our expectations. Previously, we never used our sunroom. But now it's our favorite room in the house. Melissa is a talented designer with an intuitive sense about what her clients will like. She's so easy to work with and we trust her advice. She has high standards for the companies she recommends for painting, carpentry, and window treatments, not to mention furniture stores and fabric vendors. We absolutely recommend her services. **★★★★★ — jrlpking, July 2014** > Melissa is a joy to work with. She helped us every step of the way through a very complicated project which included moving walls, relocating rooms, a complete master suite build-out and decorating every corner of our house.. She was responsive, honest and did a great job of listening to our wishes. I can recommend her work without hesitation. **Comment from Hammond Design:** > Thanks so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working on this project! **★★★★★ — noodlehouzz, Jan. 2014** > We were in the middle of a whole house remodel and completely overwhelmed by the amount of decisions we needed to make. Before we hired Melissa to come help us, we had "tried out" two other interior designers. One of them just didn't seem like someone we wanted to spend any amount of time with. The other designer just was not very helpful in getting us to take the next step. Melissa was truly great! She is very organized and therefore, really helped organize us so we no longer felt overwhelmed. She gave us an accurate estimate of how much time she would need to help with the project. More importantly, she helped us define our project and prioritize decision making. She good naturedly mediated between me and my husband when necessary (that is worth the price alone!). She is very down to earth, fun to be with, not pushy with her ideas, and great at listening. Best of all, we absolutely love what she helped us create! (And no, I am not related to her - this is my honest opinion!) **Comment from Hammond Design:** > Thank you so much for the kind words. It has been a pleasure working with you, too! ## Selected projects - [Arlington Bathroom Renovations](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/arlington-bathroom-renovations-pj-vj~2460317) - Location: Arlington, MA - Photos: 12 - Description: For this project we renovated three bathrooms in a pre-WWII home in the heart of Arlington.

This project was completed in three phases starting with the first floor living areas and then renovating the master suite. New furnishings, custom window treatments & accent pillows, fresh paint, custom built-in cabinetry, and improved lighting make the spaces more refined and cohesive. We also enlarged the opening between the family room and a little-used sun porch to create an open spac… - [Concord Museum Holiday House Tour 2016](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/concord-museum-holiday-house-tour-2016-pj-vj~2187874) - Location: Concord, MA - Photos: 22 - Description: We were honored to participate in the Concord Museum's Holiday House Tour this year.

The back part of the house was added in 2008 and has a warm, cozy feel. - [Harvard Square Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/harvard-square-renovation-pj-vj~1184739) - Location: Cambridge, MA - Photos: 32 - Description: For this year-long project we gutted a circa 1850 half house just outside Harvard Square. The clients, a young couple starting a family, wanted to respect the original bones of the house while modernizing the layout and materials to match a 21st century home. The theme that runs throughout the house was dubbed "Moroccan Mathematical" by the homeowners and is a perfect description of their style. We left the original flooring and millwork intact and added chrome fixtures and crystal or glass ligh… - [Cambridge Bath Renovations](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cambridge-bath-renovations-pj-vj~1806062) - Location: Cambridge, MA - Photos: 4 - [Transitional Medford Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-medford-kitchen-pj-vj~1107470) - Location: Medford, MA - Photos: 10 - Description: We maintained the footprint of the kitchen in this craftsman style home but improved upon it for better work space and storage.

The hallway into the suite was turned into a dressing room with a built-in vanity and wardrobe closet storage. The master suite was set up to take advantage of the beautiful vie… - [Modern South Boston Pied-a-Terre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-south-boston-pied-a-terre-pj-vj~882780) - Location: Boston, MA - Photos: 15 - Description: For this project, located in the iconic LEED Platinum Macallen building in South Boston, we transformed a closed-off series of spaces with little storage into an open, airy space.

We also designed and custom built a desk work area in the living room that mimics the kitchen cabinetry. The recycled glass countertops play off the clients' co… - [Modern Traditional Lexington Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-traditional-lexington-home-pj-vj~593623) - Location: Lexington, MA - Photos: 10 - Description: A family of six moves into a traditional home in Lexington. - [Cambridgeport Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cambridgeport-renovation-pj-vj~1185453) - Location: Cambridge, MA - Photos: 8 - Description: The renovation involved gutting a kitchen and mudroom, creating a new front entry, and refreshing a powder room with new fixtures.

The project was completed over the course of two winters with the kitchen first, followed by the bathrooms and bedrooms. The clients wanted the house to reflect the beach location without a literal interpretation of the beach theme. Since the house is a farmhouse style rather than a Cape Cod style we used architectural elements and finish materials that respect the house's character. The clients fr… - [North Andover Craftsman Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/north-andover-craftsman-renovation-pj-vj~834651) - Location: North Andover, MA - Photos: 7 - Description: This one-level home was a disconnected series of rooms that didn't work with the client's busy entertaining schedule. We turned a closed-off formal dining room into a master bathroom, expanded the footprint of the master bedroom, added a walk-in closet, widened and added doorways between the kitchen and (now) dining room, added a much-needed pantry to the kitchen, and created a visual line from the front door straight through the back of the house to draw guests in. The spaces are now open, more… - [Zen Master Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/zen-master-bathroom-pj-vj~135533) - Location: Watertown, MA - Photos: 6 - Description: A master bathroom gets a complete overhaul to create a warm, relaxing spa experience at home.
