Deal, NJ Furniture Selection Professionals

“Incredibly talented, Al is a superb decorator that I highly recommend. He transformed my New York City apartment from barren to a warm, inviting and elegant home, ensuring all details--the rugs, fabrics, blending of colors, furniture and more--reflected the persona we tried to capture. I was particularly impressed with his ability to interpret my taste in decor and unify it...borrowing the color palate from my artwork, Al made a series of selections that unified the apartment and made it appear larger. As regards the grittier details, Al called in his team of contractors to hang wallpaper, cut moldings, custom replaced kitchen countertops and coordinated everything with our building management. This saved us a lot of aggrevation which we appreciated. We are now working with Al on our Connecticut home and are excited to see his understated yet elegant selections for this weekend retreat. Most of all, Al is personable, fun to be with and attentive to detail....his sense of humor helps mitigate the more challenging moments of redoing your home.”

“Sherry is a great interior designer and worked with me through everything with her great ideas and friendly personality. She did my floor plan, furniture and rug selections. Also, Paint consulting, blinds, soft window treatments and lamps. She worked with me for artwork and accessories. Because of her I have a beautiful home. She really knows how to put things together and listens to all you want your home to be. She’s the best! Nancy Schmidt”

“We were very pleased with the results of our kitchen remodel and the job performance of Evenflow Interiors in selection and coordinating of subcontractors, design and productis. Lisa Cressman was very helpful and easy to to work with, and did a great job in bring the project to a timely and beautiful result, within our requested budget. Their recommendation of Ideal Kitchens for the cabinets was spot on. Lisa was very helpful and knowledgable as to choices for countertops, sink, hardware, and backsplash. Rick's workmanship was outstanding, and our cabinets not only are beautiful, but met all of our storage and convenience needs.”

“I engaged Ria Gulian to design and decorate a beach house I purchased at the Jersey shore in 2010. As this was a summer/weekend home, Ria was tasked with designing/decorating the home from top to bottom, including .... paint colors, redoing floors, furniture selection and placement, light fixtures, wall decor, rugs, constructing built ins, window treatments ... and even designing the outdoor space. The result was so phenomenal that the home was featured in DesignNJ. I could not have envisioned a better outcome than what Ria delivered ... so much so that I have engaged her several more times, including for the construction of a mudroom/laundry room and little kitchen. Ria successfully designed the spaces while navigating and coordinating all involved parties in a respectful and professional manner. Again, both rooms came out beautifully. I highly recommend Ria as a person and her services are top notch.”

“I received a great quote from Deb Scerbo on decorating my home. Deb was professional, detailed and very knowledgeable. The examples and her samples went way beyond my expectations. Quoted me on paint colors, tapestries, and other wall hangings. Arranging furniture with adding pieces I would recommend her highly.”

“Stef, owner of AHG (Art Home Garden), helped us with every step of our move back into our Brooklyn townhouse after a gut renovation. She is professional, dedicated and a gifted designer with a keen eye. She helped us make our new house a home we've always dreamed of living in. Stef helped us place our furniture and art. She helped pick out lighting, tiles, flooring, paint colors and furniture. Stef and her partner moved mountains when it came to crunch time and she worked within our time frame and budget. We are living in our dream home and this is largely due to Stef's thoughtful, creative, and professional design sense. I would highly recommend AHG and hope to work with her company again in the near future.”

“My wife and I hired Tara to design our Manhattan apartment after an extensive search. We loved her creative eye, her encyclopedic knowledge of seemingly every stick of furniture in Manhattan, and her unpretentious, easygoing style. Our re-design is nearly complete and, after working with Tara now for about eight months, we are delighted with the results. Tara is incredibly customer focused, flexible, and resourceful. Even when we hit a difficult decision-point (as is inevitable in any design project) she maintained a very positive, solution-oriented demeanor and found an alternative that we loved. She is also very good at managing and working with subcontractors and vendors, always representing her clients' interests, while treating third parties fairly and respectfully. My wife and I heartily recommend Tara.”

“I hired Megan to decorate my apartment, and now that the project is done, I can say that I am thrilled that I hired her! My apartment was furnished when Megan stepped in, but I felt like the space fell flat and needed some personality injected into it. Megan and her team did just that and a lot more. I didn’t realize my apartment needed the facelift that it did until Megan and her team guided me through their thought process. They led me through the project with ease, starting from the first day they visited. They touched on what it was like to work with a team and what to expect through the process. They worked closely with me by making me feel included in choices and were always patient when other priorities took precedent. They never made me feel rushed, and constantly came to me with solutions. When we consulted on the aesthetic and concept of the space, Megan and her team understood exactly what the space needed. The architecture in my space is very angular, so Megan suggested making the space more feminine by layering soft shapes and textures. Megan curated focal points in my apartment, and treated each area with attention to detail – including additions I would have never thought were important! At the same time, each area spoke to each other with matching elements. The team sourced furniture, lighting, living room accessories, bathroom accessories, artwork, and tableware. One area that I love in particular is the hallway. Megan creatively designed a gallery-wall by framing Calico wallpaper and paired it with Gabriel Scott benches and a brass pendant she designed. My favorite feature of Megan’s service was how she elevated the decor with her own custom products. Megan took concepts and ideas that I mentioned and brought them to life through her own designs, personal contacts and capabilities. The team designed and fabricated custom brass paperweights, brass candlesticks, and pendant lighting. I love how I have pieces in my apartment that are thoughtfully designed and not just picked up from a chain store. This gave my home a unique touch. Another aspect that won over my trust is Megan completely understood the importance of a budget. There are some items that are investment pieces for me right now in this stage of my life, so she knew where to potentially cut costs to ensure everything – high and low – could fit in a comfortable budget. I have already referred Megan Grehl Design to friends who have used her services! I have heard nothing but positive feedback from friends and contacts that have worked with Megan after a referral. They have even contracted her to do additional projects!”

“Moving into a new apartment, I engaged Alexa Kazim at Atelier 616 for a paint consultation and I am thrilled with the results. Alexa took great consideration in her color selections - taking space usage, sunlight + window orientation as well as other elements into account. Her eco + pet-friendly recommendations (a must for me) moved me a little out of my comfort zone to incorporate vibrant colors. While the palette suggested was consistent with my vision, it was also trendier + more sophisticated then I would have ever been able to come up with on my own. I love it! More importantly, everyone who has visited comments on the great colors. During our consultation, Alexa also offered several ideas to elevate the design + functionality of the space - which was a great bonus.”

“I would definitely recommend Sheila Rich as an interior decorator. She has excellent taste and really steered us in the right direction when it came to decorating our first home. She was mindful of our budget and was able to deliver high quality furnishings at a reasonable cost. In particular, the furniture and fabrics she chose for our den have held up incredibly well and are still in style 15 years later!”
