Interior Designers & House Decorators Near West Springfield

“We were very glad that we chose to work with Camden Grace to refresh and revitalize out living room. Corey was the lead person on our project and she did an outstanding job. She listened to our feedback and ideas and helped create a warm, inviting and colorful room. It has gone from being a pass-through room to being a cozy retreat that we enjoy everyday!. Thank you to Corey, Jeanne and the entire Camden Grace team!”

“Laurene, the proprietor of Eclectic Design, recently finished a major makeover of my condominium, and my partner and I are blown away. My unit was in dire need of an update and I didn't know where to begin. I knew that I wanted a more contemporary/transitional look, but beyond that, I was clueless. This is the type of situation where Laurene shines! She asked me enough questions to get a sense of my tastes and then proceeded to give me options galore. It was a fascinating process. She teased out what was important to me and what colors I was drawn to, and she was off! I was struck by her portfolio (which is why I contacted her in the first place) and trusted her to make great recommendations, and she did! She was able to look past the old wallpaper and popcorn ceilings, and envision a completely different look, one that made the most of the living room's vaulted ceilings and natural light. Somehow, my space seems so much bigger and airier. She also managed to enlarge - and beautify - the master bath without sacrificing any usable space elsewhere. The master bath is one of my favorite hang-outs! It's got a spa-like quality with its intricate tile work, stunning vanity, beautiful lighting and expanded floor space. She worked similar magic in all of the rooms in my house. We started with paint selections (from which everything else flowed), and Laurene brought together a palette of colors that was both dramatic and soothing. Her suggestions for furniture, lighting and artwork were spot on! I love the cohesiveness of the space, the lack of clutter and the overall "zen" feeling that I get when I walk through the door. I work from home, and she made my office an oasis - to the point that I have been asked several times on Zoom calls whether my "background" was real (it is!). The experience itself was more pleasant than I would have expected. I had anticipated a stressful experience, but Laurene (who has an amazing calming effect) has a contractor and team of expert craftsmen with whom she has worked for many years. Like her, they are professionals - detail-oriented, efficient, quiet (well, other than the demo stage, which couldn't be helped) and dependable. It was a huge relief to have someone else do the planning. Here is an abbreviated list of the things I truly appreciated about Laurene's management of the renovation: - She always gave me plenty of options (at different price points) - She kept a close eye on my project and was big on communication - with her contractor, me, her vendors, etc. - She managed my expectations very well, always letting me know what to expect the next day, the next week, etc. - She is very organized and provided a detailed cost sheet, which she kept current. - She demands excellence. In summary, we are thrilled with the results, every single day!”

“Lisa and her team at Lisa Scheff Designs have been a huge help to us across more than five years and two different houses! We worked with them on our previous house, where Lisa created the stylish yet serene transitional look we wanted for the living room and family room of our hundred-year-old house. We hated to leave her work behind when we built our new house but were able to bring some of her great choices along when we moved. On the new house, Lisa and her team helped us from square one. We started with a discussion of the outside look of the house, based on the floor plan and house style we had already decided. Lisa sat with me one day at the outset, and working together, we sketched out the entryway, the lines of the front of house and roofline, as well as the garage doors. For the deck/patio in the back, she helped us choose and design a special type of railing that maximizes our view over rolling hills and tobacco barns. Now it’s almost two years later and we totally love the way the outside of our house looks. It would never have happened without Lisa’s help. On the inside, Lisa helped us with design and colors, materials, and fabrics for almost everything! That includes all of the materials and design of the open plan living-dining-kitchen-breakfast areas, flooring, floor coverings, lighting, as well as bathrooms, including cabinetry, countertops/mirrors and fixtures. With her help, we chose some new furnishings, but Lisa also worked with us to integrate pieces from our previous house that we weren’t quite ready to give up. She coached us to think about and visualize what we wanted, working with us to create an interior that reflects our own tastes, preferences and budget. It’s been and will continue to be an ongoing relationship and process. After moving to the new house, we decided to take a breather and delay work on the bedrooms, and Lisa was completely agreeable to go at our pace. This summer, when we were ready to go again, she and her group dived right in, and now we’re working on completion of the master bedroom, including bed, bedding and draperies. We’re excited for the results! In short, we’ve been very happy with Lisa and her team at Lisa Scheff Designs. We are living with the results of their hard work, talent and creativity, and loving it every day.”
