22 INTERIORS

Lucie is an absolute dream to work with - professional, intelligent, thoughtful, 100% reliable and simply delightful to be around. Of course she has an amazing design background and sensibility which she is able to convey in a way that is inspiring and intelligible even to those of us for whom the design world seemed previously a bit opaque. Lucie is detail-oriented, patient and kind, and her commitment to - and love of - beautiful design that makes YOUR LIFE BETTER shines through everything she does. Lucie is as good as they come and if I could I'd give her more than five stars!

I hired Lucie Ayres and the 22 Interiors team to help with the design of an addition at our home in East Hampton, NY. Even though 22Interiors is based in California - the help offered was creative, timely and budget-conscious. The spaces they designed are incredibly chic and the style is all "unexpected" which I really love. Any time there was a question or an issue from the contractor, Lucie and the team were on it! It was such a relief to have them in our corner! I highly recommend 22 Interiors.

I contacted Lucie when I was feeling completely overwhelmed by backsplash and countertop materials to go with the 2 tone cabinets we had already ordered for our kitchen remodel. . Lucie’s quick, friendly response, and reassurance she could make it work such a relief. We hired Lucie for a 2 hour consult. In order to make the most of the time, she asked me to send pictures of what we were considering. Lucie immediately saw the problem, understood how to deal with it, and arrived with wonderful samples to choose from. Problem solved in 15 minutes! In the remainder of the time Lucie made great suggestions for kitchen hardware, flooring and paint colors for the entire house. She also provided invaluable input for our simultaneous bathroom remodel.. I would hire Lucie again in a heartbeat!

Working with 22 Interiors was the best decision we made when moving into our new home. We had never worked with a designer as we were waiting to find our dream home first and it was really important we work with a company that respected this special moment for us. Lucie and her team honored our experience and our newness to the process. In a nutshell, they are both powerfully creative, innovative in design as well as highly adaptable and organized to provide a top notch professional experience. Everything from concepts to revisions to furniture and vendor meetings were delivered as communicated and if there were any unforeseen hiccups, Lucie and team let us know right away. No hidden costs or charges, no sense of frustration or resistance to any of our feedback given on designs or selections - just very understanding and expert guidance on what would be best for our home, our needs and our aesthetic. We have three young children so having a expertly curated home was a priority, but not the top priority - we needed functionality and performance against the wear and tear of a young family first - we thought we would have to give up one for the other but the team did a great job meeting both priorities and even got us featured in home and gardens’ worlds most beautiful homes! Overall, if you’re looking for a design firm whose creativity is focused on bringing your vision to life and a team that works with high end customer service, work with 22 Interiors.

Calling Lucie for help to furnish my place was the best decision I've made. Ordinarily, one can flip through countless design magazines and scroll a million websites for design inspirations, however it will never measure up to Lucie's eye and design taste. Not only did Lucie and her design team furnish a living space that fits my needs, she also created a primary bedroom that is so heavenly that getting out of bed has become very difficult in the morning. Throughout the entire process, Lucie was an amazing resource - from furniture makers, wallpaper experts, artists, contractors, etc. - she had a name for everything! She was always accessible and always offered suggestions that were refined and elegant such that the final result was a space that not only reflected my personality and style, but one that elevated my initial vision to a new level. I'm forever grateful for her assistance in turning an empty space into a home. Save yourself the stress and call Lucie.

We had a great experience working with Lucie and Melissa from 22 Interiors on remodeling our three bathrooms. They made great design recommendations including plans for custom cabinets. They really took care of every detail. The result is beautiful, functional, and very professionally thought through. Lucie and Melissa were very fast to respond when I had a question and provided excellent service all around. I highly recommend you use them for your home!

This is our second time hiring 22 interiors – the first was when we moved into our home 10 years ago and most recently again to renovate our kitchen and help decorate/design our newly built guest house. We knew we wanted Lucie to help us again since she did an amazing job decorating our whole home the first time and of course she did not disappoint the second time. She is so incredibly talented, creative and it is extremely obvious she has a fierce passion for what she does and is GOOD at it! Both our kitchen and guest house came out beautiful yet functional. She has a wonderful support team and has made the process of renovating/decorating much less stressful. Lucie keeps things unique and classy and has made us truly love our home. We are so happy that we found her! If you are looking for an interior designer she is the one to hire.

Working with Lucie was fantastic, I was insanely busy during the pandemic both personally and professionally and she made everything very easy, getting to know us and what we needed, helping us through every step, including how to renovate during a pandemic and stay in our home. She had creative ideas for how to increase space and make it useful and gorgeous without making massive structural changes. She came up with beautiful and whimsical ideas like secret doors, added a much needed entryway, found places to build in storage everywhere, helped us to find and arrange the furniture and and even hang the pictures. She heard that right now we needed a calming and spa-like vibe throughout the house. She knew excellent contractors and cabinet makers who did beautiful work that makes the house feel luxurious. The end result is a house that is functional where we use every inch of space, and also gorgeous and comfortable and still practical for kids and a dog and also feels like our home. It is perfect and greatly exceeded my expectations. She and her team were incredibly responsive all the time, gently persuasive when I was skeptical but also willing to listen. She is also a lovely and interesting person. Have already recommended Lucie and her team to others and if I ever need help in the future will reach out to her.

My husband and I had such a great experience working with Lucie and her team at 22 Interiors! We moved into a fairly large new construction house in late 2020 with almost no furniture, and Lucie and her team turned it into an amazing home. They helped us choose paint colors and wallpaper, select new furniture, install window treatments, replace light fixtures, and decorate with rugs and accessories. Lucie has an incredible eye for design and really paid attention to how we wanted the space to look and function. The end result was so much better than I could have envisioned! In addition, Lucie was invaluable to us as a referral resource and problem solver. Lucie connected us with everyone from art installers to carpenters to furniture craftsmen, and in the rare event that something didn’t turn out perfectly the first time, Lucie always stepped in to make sure it was corrected. Lucie also found an artist to create custom artwork so that I could surprise my husband with a personal touch. And because we were working together through COVID and the resulting supply chain issues, it was incredibly valuable to have someone with Lucie’s experience, connections, and creativity. Lucie and her team are very responsive and easy to work with. They excel at both the design/artistic aspects AND the business/organization aspects, which made the entire process easy and fun. We absolutely love our new home and get tons of compliments whenever we have people over. We highly recommend Lucie and her team at 22 Interiors!

Lucie and 22 Interiors is absolutely wonderful to work with. When we bought our first house, we were intimidated and unsure about where to start with decorating. There were things we liked but we weren't sure how they would fit together and how they would go with the house. We interviewed a few designers but Lucie made us feel most comfortable. We really felt like she was designing a house for us (instead of her specific style or vision) AND she was incredibly up front and honest with respect to cost (which wasn't always the case with the other designers we spoke with). Decorating a house isn't cheap and Lucie didn't make us feel bad for asking questions about money. Throughout the process she was incredibly responsive, a great listener, and up front about challenges (because anyone would be lying if they said there weren't any). Four years later, we still love everything she designed. We've also subsequently worked with her on other smaller projects around our home and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to friends.

I've worked with Lucie and her team several times now - once when I first moved into my house about 5 years ago, and again when I wanted a refresh recently. Both experiences were exceptional and I couldn't be happier with the results. A few specific things I really appreciated about Lucie: - She is able to do high end and low end - in the same project! Often I find that designers have one "gear" - either you are getting everything that is extremely expensive, or not. Lucie was excellent because she was able to advise where I should spend more money and get very high quality, and where I could go lower end and save some. - She has an awesome energy and a clear love of what she does, and it is infectious and permeates the rest of her team too. She approaches everything with a positive attitude, and that helps get you excited about what can seem at times to be an overwhelming project. - She's professional, responsible and respectful. She's great at follow up and has never missed an email or a question that I can recall, and treated each of my concerns as serious and worth her time. This past experience, one set of lamps turned out to be too small for the space, and she quickly offered to return them and pick a new set for me at no additional cost (even though all the work was done). I still get compliments our my house and the fabulous decoration she did - everything from paint and wallpaper choices, to a bathroom remodel, to knick-knacks on the shelves. I love my house and feel awesome being in the space, and a lot of that is thanks to Lucie!

I can't say enough good things about 22 Interiors. Lucie and her team are professional with great communication and mostly importantly they are highly skilled. I had Lucie design my new home in west Los Angeles. They handled the design for every room except the bathrooms. They even did the kids rooms and I could not be happier with the outcome! I wanted a design that was timeless, elegant, and functional. I have 3 small children and everything that goes along with that including toys. I wanted a home designed to hide all of those items in an elegant and functional way. The outcome and end result is stunning. I highly recommend 22 interiors for your next design project.
