Alison Watt Interiors

Ali has helped me with several rooms in my home. She is very knowledgeable with colors and is dedicated to getting the job done with the clients complete satisfaction. I will be using her again in my home and would highly recommend her.

I hired Alison Watt Interiors to help me update my master bedroom and bath. The job included picking new colors for walls, finding the best arrangement for my current furniture, and choosing tile, window treatments, room décor and bathroom linens. Ali was exceptionally easy to work with; she is professional and friendly and can work with a wide variety of styles. In the past, I have felt intimidated by some decorators who sometimes only wanted to work with high end furniture and décor. Ali was very respectful of my budget, and while she can certainly work with high end décor, she can also work wonders with much more modestly priced items. I never felt intimated with her in my home. Additionally, she was very responsive when we had some issues with our tile installation and came as soon as she could to fix our problem with my tile contractor. I also loved that she was willing to do as much, or as little of the décor shopping as I wanted her to. In the end, every choice I ultimately made was actually something Ali found and brought to me; from the paint colors to the fabric for the window treatments right down to the bath mats! She really had gotten to know my tastes and was able to bring me things that were perfect. I highly recommend Alison Watt Interiors. I will definitely use her again.

“After working with Alison Watt for the past six months, I would like to recommend her services in the strongest possible terms. Among her outstanding set of skills, I would like to highlight the following: -budget consciousness: Ali kept the project within the budget that we had agreed upon during her consultation visit, and went out of her way to find items and services that I could afford. She is very comfortable working with high-end designers, but more importantly, she is an expert bargain hunter and is equally comfortable shopping at more inexpensive outlets. -availability and timeliness: she always kept me up-to-date on the project progress and called or emailed every time she wanted my feedback or my approval on any purchase. She kept the project moving forward by managing the schedule and making sure that all the jobs were completed in the right sequence. -professional network: she is very well connected to other design professionals that she can pull into her projects when needed: architects, carpenters/builders, painters, seamstresses, artists, lightning consultants, etc. -patience and empathy: although the project could not have gone more smoothly, she actively listened every time I expressed a concern about the direction we were taking with an aspect of the project and was willing to incorporate my feedback. -attention to detail: immediately after every furniture delivery she stopped by my house to check that the items were in good condition and that they were what we wanted; after any work was done on the house, she would stop to make sure that the work satisfied her high quality standards. -professionalism: her knowledge of design principles came through as we were going through catalogues and magazines together. She has got a strong sensibility for harmonic color and shape combinations, and a keen eye that allows her to determine what pieces work in a room and how to arrange them.” Fernando (Amesbury)

After living in my home for many years, I decided it was time for a makeover. The scope of the project was beyond anything I could handle, so I set out to find an interior designer. The search ended the day I met Alison. It was so overwhelmingly obvious, I hired her on the spot. The initial meetings were spent discussing project goals and budget, but I could also see she was taking the time to learn about me. Things that would eventually make my space my own. Alison has solid project skills... things like budget control. She does a great job at steering dollars to where they'll have the most impact. She also adapts well to your personal situation. I wanted to do a lot of the labor myself, so I needed the project to pause now and then while I did my own thing. But what has impressed me the most are her design instincts. She has a great eye and just knows what "works". Many times she's suggested a piece that I had overlooked a hundred times, but has now become a fixture in my home. I couldn't be happier with the results. I give Alison Watt Interiors an A+... highly recommended

Ali worked with me on color and design as my husband and I remodeled an 1845 Greek Revival home. We wanted to keep some of the 1950's elements that were in the house while recreating some of the original grandeur of the home. Ali was up for the challenge! It was such a pleasure working with her. She understood our budget and worked within it. She helped us make budget decisions as to where it would be more effective to put our money from a design perspective. She has a real gift when it comes to color. She worked with me on picking out all of our rooms colors (13 of them!). We were starting from zero. I wanted our home to be anything but beige. I wanted it colorful but had no idea how to choose the colors so that they were unified but different throughout our home. She did an amazing job. I wanted to keep the tile in our 1950's kitchen, but still have the kitchen look like it belonged to the rest of the house. She picked out a wall paper that ties the whole area together. I think it looks fantastic. Finally, she was a breath of fresh air, joy and calmness through this whole process. She was confident in her choices and able to deal with contractors who wanted to take an easier path at times. I highly recommend Ali.!
