They were incredibly knowledgeable and collaborative--happy to spend many hours on zoom with me to get the plans just right. I recommend them highly! **★★★★★ — Jim, Jan. 2026** > We have used c\|s Design Studio for two major projects and could not be more pleased. One was new construction of a lake house and the other was a major renovation of a townhouse. > > For thew new construction project, we were recommended to c\|s Design Studio by our builder when we realized the overwhelming number of choices needed to finish a house of any size. Our attempts to visit home improvement stores ourselves were crushed when we were presented with 25 different colors of grout for just one of the bathrooms, and that's when we realized we needed professional help. > > c\|s guides you through every choice and every step of the finish process: flooring, carpeting, tile, fixtures, appliances, paint colors, and yes, grout. You have the flexibility to choose, and their guidance when you cannot. If you are uncertain, ask for their recommendation -- it has never proven wrong and we get constant compliments on our interiors. **Comment from c\|s DESIGN STUDIO LLC:** > Thank you Jim! Its always a pleasure to work with you and Julie!! So glad you are settling in the townhouse and I'll be sure to stop over next time I'm in your neck of the woods! **★★★★★ — FN, Nov. 2024** > Christina and her team are amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for help with a new build or remodel. Christina has an amazing eye and vision for the space. She presented multiple options for each space we remodeled, while keeping style and budget in balance. The team's response time is impressive and helps when you need to make quick, fast but important decisions. Everyone on her team is excellent and the team communicates well between each other so you do not have to waste time getting another person up to speed with any issues that arises. I cannot say enough positive feedback about Christina and her team!! I have met many other home design professionals over the years and they usually overpromise, under deliver and charge too much - none of these issues occured with CS Design. > I almost want to start a new project just so I can have Christina work on it! **Comment from c\|s DESIGN STUDIO LLC:** > Thank you so much FN! It was a pleasure and honor to work with you guys!! Bring on the next one :) **★★★★★ — cschwengel, May 2024** > Everyone at CS Designs was wonderful to work with. The team is knowledgeable, responsive, and detail-oriented. I HIGHLY recommend them! **Comment from c\|s DESIGN STUDIO LLC:** > Thank you Christy, we had a blast working with you on this project! Hope to see you soon! **★★★★★ — Molly Nizhnikov, May 2024** > Working with Christina and her team was an absolute highlight of our home building journey. First of all, they are a delightful team to interact with....they are warm, friendly, and thoughtful....the perfect combination as you make major decisions for your home. Second, they are extremely organized and detail oriented. There are SO many decisions and so many details to get right....I am extremely grateful they kept track of all of that for us. I'm positive we would have screwed up materials ordering without them. Third, they are true design experts....we told them the overall look we wanted to achieve and they made sure all of our decisions supported that vision. The outcome is a dream come true. We love our house and give so much credit to C\|S Design Studio for their guidance and expertise that got us across the finish line. **Comment from c\|s DESIGN STUDIO LLC:** > Thanks so much Molly, you are so kind! Your home is very special and we are thrilled with the outcome. Can't wait to see you in a few weeks and get the pro photos done! Cheers to you and Joe! **★★★★★ — sohflan, May 2024** > Christina and her team did an exceptional job designing the perfect kitchen for us. I highly recommend their services for your next project! **Comment from c\|s DESIGN STUDIO LLC:** > Thanks so much Kelly! We can't wait to hear how that wine dispenser is changing your life :). Enjoy your new Kitchen!! **★★★★★ — Josh Brown, May 2024** > Friendly professional staff, it was a lot of fun working with them and we are impressed with the level of thought and effort put into designing our space! Highly recommended and will definitely be calling them again if/when the need arises! **Comment from c\|s DESIGN STUDIO LLC:** > Thanks for the recommendation Josh! We really enjoyed working with you all!! Call us anytime! **★★★★★ — Ashley Profaizer, May 2024** > Always love working with the CS Design team! Their thoughtful design process and attention to detail always produces excellent results. Our new kitchen is absolutely beautiful and so much more functional than it was before! The transformation is incredible and so valued by a family that cooks a lot! **Comment from c\|s DESIGN STUDIO LLC:** > Ashley, thank you for the positive review regarding our process and team. It's always a pleasure to work with you and thank you for trusting us through the years.....in both of your homes! So happy the new Kitchen is serving you well! **★★★★★ — Sarah Garner, May 2024** > We honestly cannot say enough good things about C\|S Design Studio for their work designing our new kitchen and lighting throughout the home. Emily (Sensitive Information Hidden) was our lead designer, and not only was her design absolutely stellar, she was consistently enthusiastic throughout the project. Emily not only listened attentively to our ideas, but approached them with genuine excitement, turning our vision into a reality that far surpassed our expectations. > > When we purchased our mid-century modern house in 2022, it still had its original 1966 builder-grade kitchen, which had failed and worn down over 50 years. Emily came up with a design that retained the modern style, while also updating it to 2024. We have cooked in it many times since it was completed a few months ago, and it is functional and well laid out. > > One of the things I appreciated most about using an interior designer, rather than trying to go at it alone, was her knowledge of the materials and appliances. When I told her I wanted low-maintenance white counters that don't stain easily, for example, she immediately knew the perfect solution. She also was easy to reach throughout construction, whenever the construction team had any questions. > > The schedule and cost estimates that Kathryn prepared before the design began were also hugely helpful and well organized. I believe our budget actually came in under what we originally anticipated. > > People who visit our home regularly tell me it is the most beautiful kitchen they have ever seen. If you want make your home extraordinary, too, I wholeheartedly recommend that you call C\|S Design. **Comment from c\|s DESIGN STUDIO LLC:** > Thank you Sarah for the wonderful review and kinds words regarding our team members, Emily and Kathryn as well as our process! We are so pleased you love your space! We wish you many years of happy memories in your new Kitchen and home! **★★★★★ — HU-958119479, Feb. 2023** > It was a pleasure to work with Christina and the entire CS design team during the build of our new home in 2020. CS Design provided amazing service from start to finish of our project and were always available to provide guidance and advice (no matter how big or small!). CS Design's process was first rate, starting with an initial consultation to discuss our styles and preferences before guiding us through a multi-day shopping trip to make selections for our build. It was daunting for us, and would have been overwhelming on our own, but CS Design provided hands-on support and expertise to make the experience not only manageable, but enjoyable! During our final review meeting at their office, we felt like we were on HGTV walking through the selections for our dream home. The fantastic support didn't end there; CS Design worked closely with us throughout the entire build, providing quality control and ensuring that our selections carried over to our new home. When issues arose due to COVID-related product delays, CS Design was quick to find available alternates that still matched our style and function requirements. We couldn't imagine having embarked on such a big project without the help of CS Design's talented team and can't recommend them highly enough for those in need of design consulting. **Comment from c\|s DESIGN STUDIO LLC:** > Thank you so much! We appreciate the very nice review and the kind words! **★★★★★ — mewanch, Jan. 2023** > I simply can not say enough good things about the entire team at CS Design. As true designers they really, I mean really know their stuff when it comes to kitchens and beyond. They also understand construction and what it takes to work with contractors. Christina, Brittany, and Kathryn were always very professional and responsive to my questions, seeing everything through all the way to delivery and follow-up (I had my builder install). I also love my Greenfield cabinetry - high quality and durability. I had one small factory mistake - CS Design responded immediately and the manufacturer honored the fix. If only all aspects of renovations went as smoothly as this did. I strongly recommend working with CS Design over the more traditional cabinet showrooms where you are likely to get a salesperson that puts together a 'design' and not a true designer that understands your home. I get so many compliments on my kitchen and I just couldn't be happier in my new space! **Comment from c\|s DESIGN STUDIO LLC:** > Thank you so much Erika! So happy you love your new space and the Greenfield cabinets! **★★★★★ — Tony Scardino, Dec. 2022** > CS Design is a fantastic group to work with. Christina and her team are very talented, patient, creative, and resourceful. I have utilized their design services on two new home builds over the past 4 years and I highly recommend them. Super pleasant people on top of highly skilled. > > This last house was built during the height of the pandemic’s supply chain issues and they still made minor miracles happen to get my house completed on time. > > I will definitely work with them again on my next project! > > Tony Scardino **Comment from c\|s DESIGN STUDIO LLC:** > Thank you Tony! We had fun, didn't we? Look forward to the next one! ## Selected projects - [Lake Anna Refined Rustic Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-anna-refined-rustic-retreat-pj-vj~7572252) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Ashburn Basement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ashburn-basement-pj-vj~7443738) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Great Falls Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/great-falls-modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~7443728) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [McLean Whole Home Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mclean-whole-home-renovation-pj-vj~7443724) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [McLean Executive Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mclean-executive-remodel-pj-vj~7247437) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Arlington New Build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/arlington-new-build-pj-vj~7247433) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Flint Hill Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/flint-hill-custom-home-pj-vj~6904546) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - Description: Styling and Photos by Stylish Productions: Charlotte Safavi and Robert Radifera - [Vienna Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vienna-modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~6641329) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [McLean Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mclean-custom-home-pj-vj~6555207) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Vienna Glam Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vienna-glam-custom-home-pj-vj~6555341) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Industrial Chic Sports Enthusiast's Basement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/industrial-chic-sports-enthusiast-s-basement-pj-vj~5548382) - Location: Ashburn, VA - Photos: 16 - [Ashburn Whiskey Collector's Bar & Basement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ashburn-whiskey-collector-s-bar-and-basement-pj-vj~5545627) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Elegant Dupont Circle Row House Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-dupont-circle-row-house-kitchen-pj-vj~2251896) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 13 - [Vienna Custom Home - Clean Lines, Natural Elements and Comfortable](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vienna-custom-home-clean-lines-natural-elements-and-comfortable-pj-vj~2065969) - Location: Oakton, VA - Photos: 13 - [Vienna Custom Home - Transitional Treasure](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vienna-custom-home-transitional-treasure-pj-vj~2066027) - Location: Oakton, VA - Photos: 14 - [Vienna Custom Home - Classic Elegance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vienna-custom-home-classic-elegance-pj-vj~2065895) - Location: Oakton, VA - Photos: 13 - [Great Falls Country Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/great-falls-country-estate-pj-vj~2065809) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Arlington Transitional Open Concept Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/arlington-transitional-open-concept-kitchen-pj-vj~889430) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: Builder: Zimmermann Homes - [Great Falls Classic Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/great-falls-classic-kitchen-pj-vj~786545) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Great Falls VA Whole House Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/great-falls-va-whole-house-project-pj-vj~591518) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 [See all 33 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/c-s-design-studio-llc-pfvwus-pf~939643963) ## Ideabooks - [Alaini](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/92404387/list/alaini) — 17 ideas - [Simon - Exterior Project](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/141558880/list/simon-exterior-project) — 21 ideas - [Bathroom Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/131284719/list/bathroom-ideas) — 1 idea - [Rustic Basements](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/116904778/list/rustic-basements) — 22 ideas - [Shelving Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/116162113/list/shelving-ideas) — 2 ideas - [Dogwood Millwork](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/113511814/list/dogwood-millwork) — 5 ideas - [SZ Molding Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/95277722/list/sz-molding-ideas) — 22 ideas - [SH Adahi](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/89944379/list/sh-adahi) — 4 ideas [See all 8 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/csdesignstudiollc) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love the mirror!
