Lighting Designers in Madison

“Jonathan took the vision I had for our living room and made it a reality. He shared his tips and introduced us to local antique shops and professionals. Old furniture touched up and reupholstered along with unique touches, like Moroccan window screens as valances, make the room feel personal and inviting. I would work with Jonathan again and recommend him in a heartbeat.”

“I used Kellydesigns to assist me in the purchase of a sectional sofa. As well as assist with room layout and color choices. Kellydesigns spent the time to listen to what I was looking for as well as what was best for the size of the room. Overall I was very satified with the choices of sofas and fabrics that were suppiled. I would recommend Kellydesings in the future.”

“Our experience with Caryn Paradis was excellent from start to finish. We had an unfinished basement that we wanted to finish and didn't know where to begin. Caryn talked with us in detail about how we wanted to use our basement and then came up with plans that included all of our needs as well as ideas that we hadn't even considered but should have. She was able to design a space that incorporated areas for everyone in our family, including our young son--even a stage that could be pulled apart for use as couches when he becomes a teenager! Because we live in separate states, Caryn was able to do much of the work remotely with minimal visits to our home to take measurements, etc. She had finish samples sent directly to us quickly and walked us through the decision making process. She designed specific requests, such as a fireplace for my husband and a guest room/office area. Caryn paid attention not only to the aesthetics of the job, but also the practicalities, such as outlet placement and HVAC. She also included amenities such as a well-placed dorm fridge which will come in handy when our son is old enough to use the space as a hang-out with friends. All in all, the job was smooth, well-designed and surprisingly painless. Caryn listened to our needs and then exceeded them. We would recommend her without reservation.”

“Christie is knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with. She helped me choose paint colors, fabrics, sofas, coffee tables, lamps and more for my mid-century modern home. I wanted to keep it simple, but warm and colorful. Christie struck just the right chord. She also introduced me to sources for furnishings that I would not have known about on my own and saved me from costly mistakes and do-overs. If you can find the right designer, your home will come together more easily. I feel so lucky to have found Christie.”

“We worked with Hartley & Hill Design to completely renovate and redesign our kitchen last summer. They were fantastic and we cannot say enough about how wonderful they were. We met with them and described the concepts that we wanted (functional and classic, keeping in mind that we like to entertain, but we have small children and a busy family life). They put together the design and sat down with us to explain their ideas very thoroughly and also run through the budget. They came up with a fantastic design that we never would have thought possible, incorporating very creative ideas, while still keeping in mind our budget as well as our personal preferences. It was a very collaborative process, with us being as involved as we wanted to be, but not feeling like we had to manage a project; they expertly managed the project for us! All of the subcontractors they hired were first class. The renovation was very well organized, there was consistent open communication, any hiccups along the way (as will happen in any project this size) were managed smoothly and effectively. Needless to say, we are thrilled with the end result. We can't wait to use them again soon to redesign our dining room/living room area. We would highly recommend them!”

“This is a great designer. She has wonderful ideas, color concepts and fantastic subcontractors. She is timely, conscientious and fantastic to work with. I would recommend her for projects large and small, commercial or residential.”

“I had the privilege to work with Claudia on a whole house project in Stamford, CT. She is incredibly talented and wonderful to work with! It is amazing to watch her work as she makes it look so effortless! She consistently keeps her clients wishes in mind when making design choices . She was mindful of the budget and timeline in order to accommodate the client's move in date. The final outcome is just beautiful!”

“Amanda has a great sense of color and style! Her work for us was a culmination of what she envisioned as a designer along with the look and feel that we desired for our home. Amanda brings impeccable taste and sophistication into reality all while staying within budget. I look forward to working with Amanda on more projects as they come up!”

“Barbara has a masterful way with colors and textures. She can identify your desires and then turns those ideas into something truly imaginative and unique. Stays on top of the manufacturers so that your furniture or fabrics or rugs is delivered as soon as possible. She is genuine, honest to a fault, and generous with her time.”

“I am trained as an architect and have worked with many interior designers in the past. Rachel Belden has done some consulting for me and has presented my art work to some of her clients. She is extremely personable, fun, and giving of her time and ideas. Her projects definitely have her flair, but they do incorporate her clients' ideas and tastes. She has a one stop shopping firm that can provide a consultation on a paint color all the way to the full interior for a large scale project (design drawings, estimate, lighting, furniture, carpet, paint, etc.)”
