Lighting Designers in South Toms River

“Hired to do window treatments in a brand new home. Donna was very easy to work with. Great personality, patient and able to convert my desires into reality (which was no easy task!). She worked within my budget which kept my husband happy too. I love the end product and would use Donna again in a heartbeat and heartily recommend her.”

“Lisa has decorated my entire home, and designed my basement, pergola, cabana, and outdoor landscaping. She is a perfectionist and it shows. I continuously get compliments on my home that even though it is large, it is so warm and inviting. I am so completely confident in Lisa's work that when I need something done in my home, and let her know and she takes care of it. I don't feel that I need to look at what she picks out because she knows my taste and has always done beautiful work. She has worked with numerous contractors at my home with ease and always meets deadlines. I have worked with other designers in the past and no one comes close to Lisa's professionalism, dedication, and commitment to quality!”

“This husband and wife team are amazing! They have unbelievable talent and are so personable. Benavides Design House turned our unfinished basement into a beautiful space complete with an art room for the kids, spare bedroom, entertainment room, pool table/game room and a wine cellar wall. They did renderings for us ahead of time so that we could really see what our space would look like. They sat down with us and made sure we were comfortable and got to know our style before they made recommendations. They were flexible enough to put up with our last minute change of heart on a few decisions. They were also very responsive to our calls and emails throughout the process. Plus when we first moved to the South Jersey area, we paid almost double the hourly fee for a designer so we consider BDH to be very competitively priced. You can not go wrong with this talented pair!!”

“Working with Stephanie was an outstanding experience. She incorporated our tastes into a coordinated design that was elegant and tasteful. She has knowledge of colors and patterns as well as products so we were able to make decisions quickly and without second guessing. Our new powder room is wonderful - providing both functionality and beauty in a modern way. We are looking forward to working with Collaborative Interiors on more home improvements.”

“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”

“I have had the privilege of working with Yalena Gertz (Decorating Den Interiors) on several projects. I have seen her transform a space from Drab to Fab and enjoy every moment of the task! Not only is she super talented at what she does ... she has a way with her clients that makes them feel as confident as she is, that the room will come together perfectly. She works so hard to provide just the right feeling in a space with style and class!”

“Kelly is my go-to with all things Interior Design! I recently renovated my condo to prep for sale and utilized The Design Bar for appliance recommendations to maximize the space, design ideas that were spot on with current trends, color palettes that revitalized the interior, and staging ideas for showings. The end result looked great, was very stylish, and MUCH improved. Update: Condo hit the market and received an offer in 1 DAY!”

“We hired B&G Home Interiors to help us redecorate our family room. I wanted to brighten up the room and change my color scheme without having to change my area rug and custom curtains. We also wanted the room to be sophisticated but still children friendly for our 3 young boys. Jon did just that! Jon really listened to what was important to us and worked within our budget. He was very patient and professional. There were no surprises! Thank you B&G. We are loving our new family room.”

“I have retained Karen Cronin on three significant projects. The most recent project was the move from my primary residence(4000 ft.² plus home) in South Jersey into my current residence (large two bedroom apartment at the Ritz residences in Philadelphia Pennsylvania). I am a divorced father of two. I own and run my own business. I work long hours and travel extensively. Bottom line-in a move like this I needed a tremendous amount of help, and based on my previous experience with Karen I had every confidence in her abilities. She exceeded my expectations. On the front end of the move Karen took responsibility to vet and retain movers. She supervised and coordinated the packing of my home, and the move. A stone the size of the home and the amount of furnishings very little was used in my new residence, which required that belongings and furnishings be donated or stored. Karen handled all of this. She was on site for the move out of my South Jersey residence, and coordinated with the building Philadelphia to handle the move-in. She had everything planned well in advance and it ran like clockwork. Because I was moving into a totally different style and size residence, Karen needed to completely design, furnish and accessorize my new residence. This required her to spend considerable time in advance designing, measuring and providing the options based upon my taste and pricing parameters. This move encompassed everything from furniture, to art, lighting, kitchen appliances, etc. Karen furnished and designed for the foyer, living room, dining room, family room and bedrooms. Karen coordinated with the vendors and my building to make arrangements for all deliveries and installation. She handled placement and timing of art. She worked with selected and vetted multiple vendors, including the movers, electricians, plumbers and carpenters. She has exemplary communication skills. We communicated multiple times daily. Based on our extensive experience together my trust in her judgment is absolute-yet, she took no steps without authority. I have absolutely no reservations about giving Karen complete access. She is completely trustworthy I have no reservations about recommending Karen Cronin. I can assure you I will be hiring her again. Completely dependable, the ultimate professional. Punctual. And, she has great taste. My place looks awesome. Constantly receive compliments. Can't go wrong with Karen Cronin!!! I would have no problem speaking with anyone considering Karen.”

“I have so enjoyed working with Christina. I find her taste to be exquisite and she is truly gifted with color and making a room pop. I love how client focused she is as well. She takes the time to get to know your style and budget and adjusts accordingly. She worked with me to update my living room. Her suggestions made it more cozy and chic as well as affordable. I'm looking forward to working with her in the future.”
