She is easy to work with, and has a great eye for design. We did a kitchen renovation with her and she made what felt like an overwhelming project feel manageable. There is not one detail we would change about our kitchen. It turned out absolutely beautiful! We could not have done it without her. **Comment from Jenny Sutherland Designs:** > Thank you so much for hiring me to help, it was a fun renovation! I LOVE how everything came together! It feels light and natural and fits the house so well. ### All 24 reviews **★★★★★ — Kim Fulton, Dec. 2024** > Jenny is an amazing designer to work with!. She has a great attention to detail and takes everything into consideration. Her ability to think three steps ahead at all times is so helpful. She has an extensive knowledge of best products and different company's to make a project come together. Her years of experience shows thru her ability to problem solve in any situation. She communicates in a timely manner and follows thru on all issues or concerns. If you want your project to come to life in the way you dreamed, Jenny Sutherland will make it happen. **Comment from Jenny Sutherland Designs:** > Thank you so much Kim, I've really enjoyed working with you on your home!! **★★★★★ — Nancy D, Dec. 2024** > I honestly can't imagine finding a better designer than Jenny! I struggle with making decisions, but she's been incredibly patient with me, gently guiding me toward choices I didn't even realize I wanted. There were plenty of moments when I wasn’t sure about something or it was too far out of my comfort zone, and she patiently explained why it might be the right choice - and now I’m so glad I trusted her insights. Building a house has been a challenging process for me, but I honestly don’t know how I would have navigated it without Jenny’s expertise and support. I highly recommend Jenny to anyone who needs design help! **Comment from Jenny Sutherland Designs:** > Thank you for trusting me to help you with your new home, it's beautiful! **★★★★★ — forten5, Dec. 2023** > Jenny was great to work with. She had great recommendations and our house would not look as great as it now does without her help. Our Staircase ended up being the showpiece of our house. I highly recommend her to anyone needing interior design help **★★★★★ — ajhfrank, Dec. 2021** > Jenny designed all the details of our new construction home, and she did an amazing job! She did an excellent job listening to us and making our vision come to life. She truly went above and beyond for us in every way. I can’t say enough good things about her and her work. A brilliant designer, and a truly wonderful person to be around and work with. **Comment from Jenny Sutherland Designs:** > Thank-you so much, I loved working with you and am so happy that you love your beautiful new home! I'm looking forward to seeing it now that you are all moved in! **★★★★★ — HU-388745290, Feb. 2021** > My husband and I recently worked with Jenny on the design of our new home. Jenny was simply amazing every step of the way! I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about her. She is dedicated, smart, honest and has the best insight and eye for design in any sort of style of home. There were things that Jenny brought to our attention that I NEVER would have thought of and am SO glad that she did! Living in our home now I think about those type of things so often as I see them daily and think how happy I am that I listened to Jenny. She also worked diligently to help us find the highest quality items while staying within budget. Jenny also made her schedule work, even if that meant staying late since we were living in Chicago at the time and only had limited availability to make selections. She never made us feel rushed into a decision and always went the extra mile to make sure each item we selected fit perfectly within our design. She is definitely one of the best interior designers in West Michigan and I would highly recommend her to anyone whose is looking. We will definitely be using Jenny again for any design needs that we might have. **Comment from Jenny Sutherland Designs:** > Thank you Lisa, I'm so glad I had the opportunity to work on your home with you! I had a great time getting to know you and your style and helping you pull everything together, it looks so beautiful! **★★★★★ — Kapitan Mueller, Jan. 2021** > We just moved in to our (nearly) finished Modern Farmhouse in the middle of the woods in Spring Lake. What a journey it was to have created this labor of love. I did the first part of the design myself -- the layout, the elevations etc. But when faced with the plethora of DETAILS involved in finishing the inside, I was at that point experiencing decision fatigue! And creative burn out. Jenny was an invaluable resource! I only wish I had found her sooner. She guided me along on making decisions. When I didn't have a clear direction, she got me on track and pointed me to great options. She has awesome local connections too which was really awesome. > She listened to what I wanted and did a great job with staying within my style preferences. I don't know how she does it! > She worked with me in a variety of ways depending on my competence with the project. Sometimes that looked like spending the whole day shopping tile, lights, or countertops. Other times it was as simple as replying to a question over text. Either way, she was VERY helpful, available and present with my project even despite having many other projects she worked concurrently. > > I highly recommend Jenny! I am so glad I found her when I did. I am SO, SO, SO HAPPY with my home. It is still a work in progress, but I know I will have Jen's help any time I need her to give her professional expertise. **Comment from Jenny Sutherland Designs:** > Thank-you Mandy, I love how everything came together! From finding shapes that told stories in the granite to discussing the functional design necessary for home schooling, it was fun working with you on such a unique, custom home! **★★★★★ — Carolyn Krohn, Jan. 2020** > I first met Jenny in March of 2019 when I was looking for design help for a kitchen remodel. All I knew was the style I was looking for, but I am not blessed in any way with the ability to pick things out that would work together to achieve the look I was wanted. > > Jenny to the rescue!! > > Her professionalism, knowledge and knack for style, and her vision to put it all together is quite amazing. From helping us pick out colors, to countertops and cabinets, to fixtures and flooring, and so much more, she really gave us a kitchen we LOVE! In fact, the finished product is so much better than I could have imagined! > > Because I loved what was happening, we went beyond the kitchen. Some minor structural changes she suggested and some new paint colors in a few other rooms have made our house look brand new, and given my husband and I a place we just LOVE coming home to! > > Jenny always kept appointments, returned calls, called if she was running late, followed up, and was completely dependable. I will most definitely hire her again! > > Thank you Jenny!! **Comment from Jenny Sutherland Designs:** > Carrie, thank-you so much! I loved the opportunity to work on your home with you, getting to know you and seeing it all come together. I am SO happy that you love it! **★★★★★ — GREG HAGEN, July 2019** > I was looking for an interior designer to finish off my home I have lived in for 12 years. I invited Jen over to take a look at my project and within 10 minutes I asked, will you work with me and when can you start? Jen was able to understand my vision and match it to the home. Carpet, paint colors, living room furniture, custom wall finishes, LIGHTING both interior and exterior, area rugs, bedroom sets, plumbing fixtures, mirrors, carpets, new garage door ideas, as well as art and accessories around my home. Next Summer we hope to replace outdoor decks and living spaces that need attention. > > My home looks amazing and I could not be happier with the work Jen did for me. **Comment from Jenny Sutherland Designs:** > Thank-you Greg, it has been a very fun project! I'm happy with everything we've done and am really looking forward to making the back deck area amazing next year! **★★★★★ — kathy schipper, Jan. 2019** > I recently worked with Jenny on a multiple room remodel in my home. I found her to be creative, energetic, hard working and professional. It was so helpful to receive her ideas and recommendations, as well as, have someone take care of all the details related to my project. I would highly recommend Jenny for any project you may be considering! **Comment from Jenny Sutherland Designs:** > Thank-you Kathy, I'm really looking forward to seeing all of our selections come together!!! **★★★★★ — D Mulder, Oct. 2018** > Jenny has been amazing! My husband and I bought a condo and had no idea where to start with the remodel. Jenny came swooping in and helped us out. She is extremely creative and has a great eye for design. She learned what we liked and helped us put it all together, while being price conscience at the same time. If you are searching for a designer, Jenny is the one to call! **Comment from Jenny Sutherland Designs:** > Randy and Kim, thank-you so much! I had a great time working with you and hope we can do it again someday!! **★★★★★ — Doreen Cross, April 2018** > We are so glad to have met Jenny! My Husband and I recently purchased a historical home. Jenny has done a wonderful job helping us add our personality while preserving/highlighting the beauty of the historical features and charm of the house. Her eye for paint color is exquisite. Her ability to incorporate vintage pieces of furniture with modern is mind blowing! She truly is amazing! Her attention to detail has not gone unnoticed. We are more than pleased with the outcome of our home. Jenny will be the first person we call when we decide to take on a new remodel project. **Comment from Jenny Sutherland Designs:** > Thank-you Doreen!!! I've had a great time working on your home with you, I'm so excited to see it all come together! **★★★★★ — Sheila Day, Jan. 2018** > Jenny is helping me remodel a very outdated home. We recently moved to Grand Haven to be close to Lake Michigan. Our Lake Michigan cottage has odd room sizes and areas. It seemed impossible for me to figure out ways to make our house functional and up-to-date. Jenny not only has original and interesting ideas, she is incredible to work with. Jenny has coordinated the many phrases of remodel with ease and efficiency. We couldn't be happier1 **Comment from Jenny Sutherland Designs:** > It has been a pleasure, every step of the way! Thank-you Sheila! **★★★★★ — Wiliam Gaston, Jan. 2017** > I contacted Jenny to help modernize the interior of my dental office. She surpassed my expectations!! She did what she said she was going to do, for the price she said, in the time frame she said AND lined up the sub contractors to complete the work. > Remodel came out very nice and was under budget. Thanks Jenny!! **Comment from Jenny Sutherland Designs:** > You are welcome and thank-you for the opportunity!!! I'm glad it all turned out so well and look forward to working together on the next project! **★★★★★ — grace2005, Dec. 2016** > Jen has incredible interior design skills including exceptional talent with colors, furniture selection and placement. She's respectful, professional as well as an excellent communicator. Loved working with her! **★★★★★ — Dan & Jane Riddle, Nov. 2016** > Jenny was awesome to deal with on this project. We had started with another designer that we did not feel was connecting with our needs or the space > > Right from the beginning Jenny understood our needs and desires. Jenny was in tune all of the uniqueness of our condo and put it all together to make the Kitchen truly an awesome space. > > One of the most memorable moments from our first consult was her realization of the water view from a corner of the Kitchen...great place to have coffee and enjoy the view....something the previous designer totally missed > > it is rare to find someone who will work with you on a collaborative project like this and incorporate all of your ideas...all while being honest and telling you what will not work. We ended up doing a portion of the work ourselves had a builder we chose and used referrals from Jenny. It all worked perfect. > > Jenny not only has a great eye for design but was a trusted partner. As we went forward with the remodel, we were out of town Jenny helped with granite selection and even kept an eye out for the perfect remnant for our bathroom counter, sending pictures for us to consider. > > Jenny's billing was more than fair. I would much rather pay for a design and have freedom to do a portion of the work than get a "free" design from someone who will want to use all of their contractors and receive commission. We always knew that Jenny was listeningand working for US to create an awesome space...could not be happier! **★★★★★ — bvandermster, Nov. 2016** > Jenny has a keen eye for both color and design and also a creative vision for the finished product. Her innovative insights helped us completely refresh and renovate our home. She blended our different perspectives, listened to our thoughts, and created a classic, clean design that got done on time and on budget. We are very happy clients who highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — Kowalski Granite & Quartz, Oct. 2016** > Jenny is very creative and hands on - she has a notable style that has a flair for mixing classic design with an eclectic character. I love seeing her finished projects, they are always unique yet, very pulled together. We have worked with Jenny on mutual projects; her passion for design and attention to detail make her a joy to work with. **★★★★★ — skj64, Sept. 2016** > Jen has exhibited a wonderful talent ,understanding what we wished to accomplish in eye appeal and functionality. Her 'mantra' of " less is more " has been beneficial in completion of two previous renovation projects; a great room with a stacked stone fireplace ; a guest bath with decorative tile accent inset inside the walk-in shower. Our current project has temporarily been suspended to allow us (and Jen) to search for marble tile that will allow our project to remain closer to budget. Jen has always remained available to us either by phone or text for her guidance in selection of materials,contractors and color schemes. We do not hesitate recommending her talent and skills for your project. **★★★★★ — Crystal Bultje, June 2016** > Jenny has been such an incredible help to us with everything from paint colors to overall design concepts to tiny details. She thinks outside the box and works with our style to find creative and unique solutions that ultimately provide a sophisticated, modern look. We have a big job to do, but we're doing it on a budget and trying to DIY it as much as possible. Jenny works well with our needs and provides support and ideas on an as-needed basis. We highly recommend her! **★★★★★ — emandnate, Feb. 2016** > I love working with Jenny! her ideas are beautiful and I love how she ties all of her and my ideas together I can't wait to see my end result. **★★★★★ — Maureen Sullivan, Jan. 2016** > My husband and I worked with Jenny when we built a new home and are so glad we did. She helped us from the very beginning - from selecting the exterior colors of the house, to flooring, countertops, light fixtures and paint colors. She spent time with us to learn what our design style was, what our budget was and then paid meticulous attention to detail to help us create a home we love. Jenny also made the process fun. I highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — Suzanne Swartz, Dec. 2015** > My husband and I have always struggled to agree on design choices for our home. Jenny has been able to take our widely varied tastes and meld them into a beautiful, cozy, relaxing family room that we both love. We can't wait to work with her on our next project! **★★★★★ — mthatcher53, Sept. 2015** > Jenny and I are nearing the end of my ranch style home remodel. She has an amazing eye for color and style! She makes it all fun and I would never have had such a beautiful outcome without her help. The look has been totally transformed and I LOVE it. Her simplicity and clean look is what has made it so beautiful. I highly recommend Jenny's professional guidance to anyone. ## Selected projects - [Organic Simplicity](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/organic-simplicity-pj-vj~6461390) - Location: Grand Haven, MI - Photos: 3 - Description: Custom kitchen design built from scratch by the hands of local craftsman.
