You and your team definitely deserve it. I’ve never worked with an interior design company that gave such detailed plans, which really helps the job to move along smoothly. **★★★★★ — Francesco Marasco, Dec. 2019** > Carmela is an incredible designer. Her passion for how she works with customers stands out in the way I have seen her bring comfort to clients as well as making her one of my more easy designers to work for. She makes the process simple and easy she is an easy-going person and is a great pleasure to work with. Her sense of taste and space planning is impeccable and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pleasurable and professional experience on a renovation project or if you just want to make your space or home more beautiful! **★★★★★ — K Deligiannidis, Nov. 2019** > We started to work with AMI Design in the summer of 2017 when my husband I wanted to redesign and refresh the first floor of our home. Carmela quickly learned our taste so that she was able to suggest certain furnishings and design aspects that were a perfect fit for us. Our redesign included new millwork, painting, wallpaper, window treatments, rugs and furniture, some new appliances and lighting and artwork. We worked on a timeline that fit our budget for the project. Once the downstairs was finished we started work on the upstairs which included new hardwood and doors, molding, wallpaper, window treatments and some furniture. Carmela was always very professional, punctual, energetic, full of ideas and kind. She is very easy to contact and is always quick to reply. Especially in the beginning since we had not previously worked with an interior designer, she explained the entire process and the order of approaching a design of a space. Our house is now a home that our entire family enjoys. We are excited to finish the upstairs renovation/design and in future years when we are ready to remodel our kitchen and bathrooms, we'll be excited to continue our work with Carmela and her team. **★★★★★ — William C Asnip, Feb. 2018** > Carmela and her staff were a pleasure to work with. > I helped the firm create existing condition documentations for an Interior alteration project. > Carmela and here staff were very reliable;it was very clear that that her clients are getting the treatment that everyone deserves. It was a pleasure to work Carmela and her staff, and I would recommend using them for your next project.. **★★★★★ — margery18, Dec. 2016** > I have worked with Carmela for many years and on many projects. > She is a real talent and a great person to work with. > Her clients love her as we do here at Country carpet. > She also has an amazing staff, organized and efficient that > makes her projects run smoothly. **★★★★★ — Irene and Jerry Spanos, Dec. 2016** > “I have been a client of AMI Design for nearly 2 decades. Carmela has designed every room in my house from the living room, dining room, all bathrooms, master bedroom, outdoor kitchen and most recently a brand new custom kitchen design. Carmela has been essential to the design process of our new kitchen from completing original drawings of the kitchen design and custom cabinetry drawings to coordinating with many different trades including cabinet maker, appliance, stone, tile, and lighting vendors. And selecting paint colors, furniture, and window treatments. We absolutely love the way everything has come together. Carmela and staff are very easy to work with and attentive. I highly recommend AMi Design for all interior design projects.” **★★★★★ — Nancy Scicutella, Dec. 2016** > I have worked with Carmela and AMI Designs on a few projects in my home.. She is a professional in every way. Her knowledge is extensive in all areas. What I liked the most was that she asked a lot of questions about what I wanted. She narrowed things down so that the selections would not be overwhelming. She then would give her opinion, but only after I gave mine. and ultimately the decision was mine to make. In addition, I was working with a budget and she respected that. She is also well regarded by many of the vendors, which that in itself says something. I would use Carmela again without reservation. **★★★★★ — Portico Tile & Fixtures, Inc., Dec. 2016** > Portico Tile and AMI have been collaborating on projects for over a decade. Carmela is a consummate professional, and the enthusiasm that she brings to every project is inspiring. Carmela has mastered creating unique spaces for her clients, I highly recommend her services! **★★★★★ — BRAD DULL, Dec. 2016** > AMI is one of my best customers that I service for Kravet Inc. Carmela and her staff are easy to work with, professional and courteous. I highly recommend AMI for any interior design project. **★★★★★ — idweissman, Dec. 2016** > We have been working with AMi Designs for over 2 years. Not only has our experience been enjoyable but the end results have been amazing. Carmela and her team are able to take our verbal descriptions of what we like and find the perfect pieces for our home. From paint color, bathroom fixtures, tiles, cabinets, countertops, to rugs, furniture, art and accessories they have done it all. We couldn't be happier. **★★★★★ — Hammerton, Oct. 2016** > It has been my good fortune to work with AMI Designs for the past year. > > Carmella and her staff have outdone themselves in creating exciting and aesthetically beautiful designs for our customers, all of whom have been thoroughly pleased with the end results. > > The design team makes certain to keep communication between themselves and all the people working on a project open and active, to the mutual benefit of everyone. > > I recommend working with this design team without reservation.
