Lauren helped us to decorate our new home. Her taste was exquisite and all of the furniture and artwork that she selected looks beautiful. Lauren, Dana, and Denise went above and beyond to make sure that we were satisfied customers. I would highly recommend Joy of Living. They exceed expectations in every way. We plan to be lifetime clients. **★★★★★ — Kris Fortune, March 2016** > Dana has been a wonderful designer to work with who listens to what I would like to accomplish. She has terrific ideas while keeping my style and budget in mind. Dana has transformed my Family room and Living room into a beautiful and comfortable refuge for my family to enjoy. Her wood working people from Skyland Building are top notch and we love the interior trim work done by Brian and Kevin. Dana has a great selection of accessories in her Joy of Living store! I would highly recommend her services! **Comment from Joy of Living Creative Interiors, Inc.:** > I'm so glad to hear that your family is getting so much use and enjoyment out of your family room and living room. It was my pleasure to design these spaces with your family. I agree, our craftsmen and contractors do such an awesome job! We really do have the very best in the industry, whether it is for trim work, built-ins, kitchens or bathrooms, we work the most creative, timely and fairly professionals and are happy to work in conjunction with them in making recommendations to our clients. **★★★★★ — melimoss, March 2016** > Dana, owner of Joy of Living Creative Interiors, Inc., was amazing at translating our vague ideas into a beautiful bedroom makeover. Dana listened carefully to elements that my husband and I wanted and did not want -- walls, layout (including our insistence on keeping bulky cardio equipment in the room!) furniture, bedding, window treatments -- the works. Dana came up with ideas and samples that were perfect, reflecting our style and also introducing us to new and different suggestions. Dana was patient, and very responsive to us at every juncture. She is an excellent communicator. When we could not find "perfect" bedroom furniture that would fit our spaces and style, Dana found a creative way to work with California Closets to custom make our furniture. When we could not find a bedroom mirror on our own that we liked and would fit the space, Dana came up with a great match that was inexpensive. We highly recommend Dana and Joy of Living Creative Interiors, Inc. **Comment from Joy of Living Creative Interiors, Inc.:** > We all really enjoyed working with you and your family! Your description of how we worked together is a part of what we do every day with those client's who have elements in their homes that they wish to incorporate in a new design. Yes, we design homes from construction to completion, but we also design single rooms and are happy to incorporate pieces that you already have and love. **★★★★★ — lsempervive, March 2016** > I have been working with Joy of Living for more than 5 years. Working with the team is always a pleasure and easy. They understand my needs and always come through with suggestions and recommendations that work well within my price point and my overall décor. The team is extremely accommodating and always willing to go the extra mile to get the job done. **Comment from Joy of Living Creative Interiors, Inc.:** > Thank you so much for your complimentary words. Having 5 amazing Interior Designers on staff, all with degrees in Interior Design, really does allow Joy of Living to work as a team. This truly benefits our clients and allows for even more creative ideas to shine through in our work. Our clients will always have their "go-to" Joy of Living Interior Designer, with whom they develop a wonderful working relationship, but they also have the advantage of knowing that the entire team is here to assist them in any of their design needs. **★★★★★ — gabriellaa2, Feb. 2016** > I found everyone in the showroom to be knowledgeable and very helpful. They were especially helpful to me, since I did not give them much to go on. (In short). If you don't know what you want Joy of Living staff will guide you. They will do it patiently and professionally. I truly enjoyed working with them. **Comment from Joy of Living Creative Interiors, Inc.:** > And we enjoyed working with you! Some people know exactly what style and design they want, and some people want more input. Since we have been in business for almost 40 years, we are used to working with both clients who know exactly what they want, and those who want more guidance. Joy of Living Interior Designers will always apply their extensive interior design knowledge and background, as well as their time and energy, into making your home reflect YOUR tastes and needs in beautiful, cost-effective, and creative ways. **★★★★ — lynch710, Feb. 2016** > I worked with Lauren on numerous projects including window treatments, painting and furniture. Sadly I have moved away but I highly recommend using Joy of Living. So creative and a great partner to work with! She always steered me in the right direction and the end results were beautiful. **Comment from Joy of Living Creative Interiors, Inc.:** > What a nice compliment. Thank you. This reminds me to mention that Joy of Living offers services in all areas of design including furniture selection, furniture layout, floor coverings, tile design, custom cabinetry, window treatments, lighting plans, wall color selection, faux painting, pictures, lamps and the finishing touches of accessories. Further, we offer every type of design assistance a home owner could need. Because we have been doing business in the community for so many years, we have relationships with the best contractors, carpenters, cabinet makers, painters, artists, electricians and floor covering specialists. **★★★★★ — davmaxmom, Feb. 2016** > Dana was a pleasure to work with. She took the time to meet with me in my home to make the best choices for my space. She was professional and worked within my budget and we are thrilled with the results! **Comment from Joy of Living Creative Interiors, Inc.:** > It was likewise a pleasure to work with you! I am glad that our team provided such professional services, that you are happy with the design and that we worked within your budgets. **★★★★★ — rabbiran83, Feb. 2016** > My home was new construction, so while it was a blank slate, I did have furniture and art that needed to be integrated into our new home. Dana at Joy of Living, exceeded all our expectations by coordinating colors, fabrics, recommending professionals and creating a warm, vibrant, fresh and enveloping atmosphere. The art of faux painting, the addition of moldings and the grandeur added to the fireplace enhanced the entire home! **Comment from Joy of Living Creative Interiors, Inc.:** > I am so happy that the Joy of Living team of designers, painters, mill workers and contractors had the opportunity to work with you in designing a lovely home that truly reflects the personalities of you as the homeowners. It is our philosophy that each client's home reflect the tastes, passions and needs of you, the homeowner, which I believe your home does perfectly! **★★★★★ — rachelpaynern, Feb. 2016** > Dana and her staff are not only warm, welcoming and professional but really took their time to listen to my needs and helped me design my home to be exactly what I envisoned and I absolutely love it! From my foyer to our bedrooms, hard wood floors to paint colors, furniture, art work, mirrors, window treatments and the extra warm touches to make it feel like home- Joy of Living did an exceptional, sophisticated job. > At times it was difficult for me to decide on specifics due to the fact that my husband and I disagreed about eveything but Dana was extremely patient and worked with me to find a balance for us both. She spent as much time as I needed for me to love all my decisions, I never felt rushed or unimportant. I look forward to my next project and using Joy of Living. **Comment from Joy of Living Creative Interiors, Inc.:** > What lovely compliments to the staff of Joy of Living ~ thank-you! We truly appreciate it. What we are particularly happy about, however, is that you and your family love your home. There's truly nothing like that feeling of walking into your own home, looking around and feeling excitement and contentment in knowing it reflects who you are in every way. It was a pleasure to work with you and I look forward to working with you again in the future. **★★★★★ — flowermom2009, Feb. 2016** > I've been using Dana at Joy of Living off and on for many years. I have a lot of trouble making up my mind. I'm always afraid of making a mistake. Dana knows how to ask the right questions to figure out the right direction for me. > > I always have problems visualizing what the outcome will be. Dana knows how to explain her concept for the design so that I understand. I also have trouble picking out the right color. There could be so many shades of the same color. Dana always knows which one will work best. She is also very considerate of my budget. > > I started by using her for my house in NJ but when I moved to Florida Dana was able to help me start my new home there too. Most importantly, she is reliable and very kind....a nice person to work with. **Comment from Joy of Living Creative Interiors, Inc.:** > All of us at Joy of Living love working with you. We know you enjoy refreshing your home frequently and it is always such a pleasure to do so. From New Jersey to Florida, we are always here for you for all of your homeowner needs from furniture, window treatments, pictures, lamps, accessories, color and paint selection, build-outs and contractor recommendations. Thank you for the thoughtful compliments. **★★★★★ — shelleyruss, Feb. 2016** > Dana redecorated many of the rooms in our townhouse, and in so doing, created a beautiful aesthetic. She refurnished 2 of the rooms and helped us select new carpeting/floors and cabinets and counters. She introduced us to other professionals. She oversaw the project from start to finish. We have also reached out to her on other occasions for her help in locating new pieces of furniture, and she has helped provide the exact right piece for the space. **Comment from Joy of Living Creative Interiors, Inc.:** > It is gratifying to hear that finding the right pieces for your entire home went so smoothly. The selections certainly are beautiful and I can't wait for you to see the spectacular credenza for the home office. **★★★★★ — Helene Cole, May 2013** > We recently had a major renovation on our home. Expanded and redid the kitchen, new family room, master bedroom and bathroom. Although we had hired a design/build firm to work with we ended up bringing Joy of Living in to modify the architectural plans prior to starting the design aspects of the project. They were involved in all aspects of the project from structural to painting to working with the kitchen designer to flooring, window treatment, cabinets, tile and furniture. > > Joy of Living did an amazing job. I cannot imagine doing this project without them. **Comment from Joy of Living Creative Interiors, Inc.:** > Thank you so much for the kind words! We'd love to see you again soon! ## Selected projects - [Full Service Interior Design Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/full-service-interior-design-project-pj-vj~6041617) - Location: Montville, NJ - Photos: 5 - Description: The expert design team at Joy of Living performed a complete makeover of this entire home.
