She created a space that I truly love - one I could never have put together on my own. The furniture she selected is mostly American-made and of higher quality than anything I’ve ever owned before. > > I began working with her in November 2024, and the project (furnishing and decorating the entire house, practically) has been ongoing for about six months now. For anyone considering hiring an interior designer, here are a few details I would have found helpful before starting: > > \* Cost: Expect to spend around 20–25% of your home’s market value. Make sure you have the budget saved up in advance. I paid for most of the furniture in one lump sum - it wasn’t a pay-as-you-go arrangement. > > \* Process: The typical flow goes like this: initial consultation → design proposal → furniture selection and ordering → painting → furniture delivery (this takes the longest!) → finishing touches like art and draperies. > > As someone who had never worked with a designer before and who grew up very middle class, I really appreciated how patient and clear Megan was throughout the entire process. She made me feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. **★★★★★ — Suzy Wilson, April 2025** > Working with Megan has been an absolute delight from start to finish. She helped furnish nearly every room in our home, and the results have truly transformed our space. Megan took the time to ask thoughtful questions, really listened to our needs, and then delivered a design portfolio that exceeded every expectation. > > Her eye for detail is impeccable—she’s a perfectionist in the best sense—but she’s also warm, approachable, and wonderfully flexible. Whether we were debating fabric swatches or discussing layout changes, Megan was always quick to respond with creative solutions. She found pieces that not only look stunning, but also feel comfortable and work seamlessly with our home and lifestyle. > > We’ve already recommended her to several friends and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again on future projects (just don’t tell my husband I’m already thinking about that!). Megan’s positivity, energy, and ever-present smile were the cherry on top of an incredible experience. > > We can't thank you enough, Megan. We wish you the best!!! **★★★★★ — Kim, Sept. 2024** > Megan impressed me so much! She is incredibly creative, organized, professional, and helpful. She understands interior design on so many levels. Not only can she help you with furniture, paint, wall paper, textiles but she can draw architectural plans. We embarked on a huge remodel in a tight timeline. She connected me with an amazing contractor and we got straight to work planning the renovation. She was able to draw many floor and design plans for the bathroom, kitchen, and mudroom. She understands construction well enough to know what is possible and what needs to be worked around. Her expertise and vision were invaluable. Once we had the structural plan in place she helped me pick out paint colors, wall paper, light fixtures, cabinets, tile, etc. I would have made many mistakes without her help! In the end using her services saved me money! **★★★★★ — Barbara Palmer, Aug. 2024** > Our family room redo looks amazing—-so elegant and inviting. Megan was referred to us and it could not have been a more pleasant and rewarding experience. We greatly appreciate her talent, warm personality, and professionalism. Thank you, Megan!! **★★★★★ — rosdgill, Jan. 2024** > I hired Megan (best decision ever!) to do a complete renovation of a condo I bought after moving to the area. The condo had great potential, but needed a lot of work. Megan has transformed it into a lovely coastal home that is both a testament to her skill in design and also very much "me". Megan really understood my interests and has managed to create a beautiful home that I look forward to enjoying for years to come. **★★★★★ — jwrites39, Aug. 2023** > For a complete “down to the studs” remodel of a 1988 bathroom suite into a 2023 primary bath, we used Megan Reiley and Seriously Sari Interiors. My contractor recommended her as someone he was impressed with when he worked with her before. From our first meeting I knew she was right for the job. She completely understood my ideas for the project, even if they were a little sketchy. I wanted modern & functional with a touch of Japanese design simplicity and beauty. She had enough experience to show me several samples of the materials we used without overwhelming me with dozens. In every instance there was a perfect choice. She handled the changes I made with grace. She never tried to talk me into more than I wanted, There were so many details she was able to walk me through, which I hadn’t anticipated or known about. That alone made hiring a designer worthwhile and in addition Megan was professional, experienced, always responsive through email or phone calls, and on time for appointments. We would gladly work with her again. **★★★★★ — Dr. and Mrs. Goldstein, Aug. 2023** > Megan designed our dream bathroom. From start to finish she listened to what we wanted and gave a beautiful bathroom. She was very easy to work with and quickly got back to us with any questions or concerns we had. **★★★★★ — HU-677306486, April 2023** > We were moving from an apartment into a house, and I really didn't know where to start as far as furniture or anything else that would be needed to make our house a home. I also didn't know how to articulate our taste. Megan was a great guide, helping us figure out what we liked, coordinating our home beautifully, and being responsive to our needs every step of the way. Our house looks fantastic thanks to her hard work! **★★★★★ — Michelle B, March 2023** > Megan has completely transformed my house into a beautiful, comfortable home with her impeccable design concepts that truly capture my dreams. She has an amazing ability to "tune in" to her clients. You will find Megan to be very knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a beautiful home that captures your personality, Megan is the person for you. **★★★★★ — Sandi Schultz, Nov. 2022** > We hired Megan for a complete home remodel and it was the best decision! From the color and fabric selections, kitchen and bathroom design, to flooring, lighting and furniture recommendations, Megan did it all! She offered her suggestions after carefully listening to what we wanted, and exceeded our expectations. She is a true professional with an incredible eye and attention to detail, and worked very well with our contractor. Would highly suggest her services! **★★★★★ — Camille Hawit, June 2021** > Megan is an absolute professional who led the renovation and design of six rooms on the main floor of our home. I looked back at my notes from our first meeting and can clearly see the ideas and design hopes we shared with her in the finished product. Megan was able to hear what we were looking for and how we wanted our home to function for our family and turn that into reality. Our conversations were easy because she listened, guided and we knew when to trust her advice. More importantly, she was an absolute professional. Megan was always on time and prepared. She knows her stuff and was skillful in managing the harder conversations that required a gentle understanding mixed with practical reality. We are so thankful for Megan’s help in creating a space we dreamed of for years! **★★★★★ — Business\_Name\_Placeholder, Dec. 2020** > Megan Trachtman Reiley is a superior interior designer. She initially helped me with a small project and I was so impressed with her aesthetic that I hired her to do a complete overhaul of my Bay house. The final product was stunning, so much so that when I later sold my home, the buyers inquired about purchasing all of the furnishings, too! Megan is now designing my new home. She is extremely professional, organized, and flexible. She “gets” what her clients want and delivers beautifully. Highly recommend. ## Selected projects - [House on the Magothy](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/house-on-the-magothy-pj-vj~7523308) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [A Colorful Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-colorful-kitchen-pj-vj~7293779) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [A Tour Around the World](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-tour-around-the-world-pj-vj~7230615) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [New Jersey Upgrade](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-jersey-upgrade-pj-vj~7173774) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [The Perfect Downsize](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-perfect-downsize-pj-vj~7061485) - Location: Edgewater, MD - Photos: 15 - [From the Ground Up](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/from-the-ground-up-pj-vj~6635424) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: My wonderful clients hired me at the very beginning of their journey in building their house. I was able to help them make every single decision for every choice we had with the builder, to continuing onto designing custom built-ins, basement bar, changing light fixtures, and so much more, which made this house feel more like a home. The custom details have brought us into 2021 where we finally finished up and were able to get this beauty photographed! - [Cozy Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cozy-cottage-pj-vj~6480734) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: This beautiful home just needed to have more character, much like my client.

We made it just that! - [On The Bay](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/on-the-bay-pj-vj~6428459) - Location: Annapolis, MD - Photos: 10 - Description: A 1930's home in the sought after Bay Ridge community of Annapolis, MD. One very cold winter, a pipe burst in the master bathroom upstairs and completely ruined the front of the home. We were only able to salvage a few details like the moldings and casings that were above water level and the stairway. The rest of the home was completely remodeled and refurnished. Including a new kitchen! This beautiful home has really come together with warmth and a costal vibe. - [A Stone Cutter's Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-stone-cutter-s-residence-pj-vj~6125317) - Location: Crownsville, MD - Photos: 11 - Description: The client's were hoping for a more open floor plan utilizing all of the space in their home. This fairly traditional home in Crownsville, Maryland had a lot of walls and entry ways into each separate space. By removing walls, and creating a large more functional kitchen that extended into the dining room, we created a really open floor plan with a consistent flow. - [Louisiana Luxury](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/louisiana-luxury-pj-vj~6043196) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [A "Spa-Like" Living Space](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-spa-like-living-space-pj-vj~500766) - Location: Annapolis, MD - Photos: 6 - [Mount Tabor Escape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mount-tabor-escape-pj-vj~5327321) - Location: Gambrills, MD - Photos: 16 - Description: This project allowed for me to do construction, custom built-ins and re-work a kitchen and bathrooms.
