We have had a terrific experience working with Vani and her team. We are redoing our kitchen and bathrooms and needed help thinking through color palettes and selecting finishes, hardware and lighting. Vani was able to tap into our aesthetic by looking at our Ideabook and presented us with some beautiful and unique options. Vani was very sensitive to our budget, and through her impressive network, was able to source high quality and fabulous looking cabinets close to our price point. We have also appreciated Vani’s guidance in thinking through design elements that we would have otherwise overlooked. It has been very easy working with Vani – you can clearly see her passion for design and in delighting her clients. We can't wait to see the final results of her hard work and vision!

Saumya, My team and I sincerely appreciate this glowing and thoughtful review thank you so much! It's been a pleasure working with you and we can't wait to see the project and the vision come to fruition.

We really enjoyed working with Vani and her team. Vani has great vision and taste, and our home (a 1928 Brick Tudor) is now a beautiful place to host family and friends, and also just to hang out. Every room is unique and different, and yet each room flows seamlessly into the next. Vani also worked within our budget, and was able to balance practicality (we have dogs!) with some splurges that really make the rooms stand out. We are very happy with the end result!

Vani designed our family room and our formal spaces (living, dining and master rooms). We were impressed with her attention to the minute details as well as her design talent in pulling together the color, pattern, texture and scale to the spaces throughout our home. She has a pleasant disposition, energy and incorporated our ideas into the final design. She also brought access to a talented crew of artisans, seamstresses and other collaborators that helped transform our home.

Vani Sayeed is a designer that I respect on many levels. Her talent and commitment are unsurpassed. As an accomplished artist she’s able to bring another dimension to the rooms she curates, playing with various shapes and color schemes. I especially enjoy the fact that she invites vendors like myself to present ideas, taking them into consideration with an open mind and flexibility. I observe the same embracing attitude when she interacts with her clients to produce unique and warm spaces carefully mixed with her thinking out-of-the-box style. I find myself learning something new in every project I’m invited to participate in. Vani is a great supporter of the design world and a familiar face even in vendor-centered events. Scores of awards and recognition she receives from the design community are a testament to her quality work. It’s a joy to partner with Vani Sayeed and see her creativity in action.

We worked with Vani Sayeed Studios on a major luxury kitchen renovation project. Vani and her team excel at creatively selecting materials and colors that are bold and unexpected, mixing modern aesthetic with traditional details. In addition to material and color selections, Vani and her team are detailed and technically oriented. Our company enjoyed working with Vani Sayeed Studios and we created a beautiful project together. We would love the opportunity to work with VSS again.

Lindsay Wade - RCDC

I worked with Vani on the 2011 Boston Magazine Design Home in Norwell, MA - our company designed the cabinetry for the show home and Vani did the interior design on the entire project. Her attention to detail brought the show house together. Vani was a great team member to work with and provides the type of coordination needed to pull together all aspects of a complicated design project.

Comment from Vani Sayeed Studios:

Thank you for this wonderful review, the project turned out beautiful.

Lori Yacovone

Vani Sayeed is one of the best interior designers I have ever worked with. She has a refined understanding of textiles and is a master at room planning. Vani also has a keen sense of style and the term "fashion forward" truly applies to her design approach. Vani also uses color!! I’m talking about bold saturated colors that bring a room to life. Many design professional shy away from the dramatic use of color, not Vani. She is a pleasure to work with and a consummate professional. He work is absolutely stunning!!

vkins

I met Vani Sayeed at a celebratory event for a designer whose work I adore. It was an auspicious beginning. I later attended several inspiring events featuring Vani’s work, first her Design and later her Artwork. Nuanced and beautiful! We have since worked together on several projects, including a Master Bath which met the client’s need for a look at once current and timeless. Vani partners with builders who execute impeccably. Her exceptional communication skills assure that projects are managed with efficient care, and also make it a pleasure to collaborate. These combine with her unique aesthetic sensibilities to produce projects that stun. Designer, artist, and very smart-thinking individual, Vani Sayeed is a terrific person to guide design for residential construction projects to happy conclusions.

bridgestreet

Vani was very professional and creative with our interior decorating needs. I needed her help selecting fabrics for curtains in our breezeway and kitchen areas. She provided us with a variety of unique, traditional, and contemporary fabric patterns and color suggestions. Colors and patterns that steered us away from our routine choices. As a result, the curtains add pizzazz to the rooms and were made beautifully.

lcadams56

We hired Vani last fall to help us with specific design projects in our home that had stalled out on us. Vani selected a paint color to update our entryway, upstairs hallway and living room, tying the spaces together and brightening our home. She also helped us select a new stair runner and matching hallway runners that lend a more updated and welcoming look. We were having a difficult time selecting window treatments for our dining room and Vani created original top-down/bottom-up shades that pull the room together and give the space an updated flair to complement an antique chandelier and more traditional furniture. We love our new spaces! Vani is lovely to work with and she will work within any budget. She has established relationships with area workrooms and retail establishments, which made things very simple on our shopping trips. Her extensive design knowledge and ability to pick up on our design style and wishes are superior. I would highly recommend her for any design project that you have.
