Cory Connor Designs

I have worked with Cory for two years as we built our home. Working with her has been the best decision we made. A true professional, she has an unbelievable eye, listens to what we want and can take on as much ownership of the project as you want. She worked with us in designing the layout of our home with the architect, creating a vision for each room and matching our style to what we see every day. She went with me to vendors, helped with color choices, ideas, and talked me through difficult choices. Additionally, and this can't be undervalued, she is a kind, thoughtful and sweet person. Working with her was fun, easy and enjoyable. She never hesitated to share her opinions, yet I always felt respected and valued - I was never pressured to go with her way of doing things, and our home is exactly what we wanted. You will not be disappointed working with Cory. I really just can't say enough great things about our experience. Good luck!

Hiring Cory Connor was one of the smartest things we have done for our home. We had a master bedroom/bathroom area that was outdated and just didn't work for us. We hired Cory and from Day 1 she was involved in every aspect of our project. From hiring the builder to reworking the layout to choosing fixtures, furniture and finishes, Cory designed an elegant, new master bedroom suite that has become the new heart of our home. Not only is Cory knowledgeable, versatile, detail-oriented and intuitive but she is an absolute pleasure to work with. You can have as little or as much involvement as you like in working with Cory. No matter how much involvement, you are in good hands. Because of her open and collaborative nature, contractors enjoy working with Cory which results in those contractors being open and willing to go the distance for her and her great ideas. As with any project, we did run into challenges here and there and I will say Cory does everything in her power to quickly resolve sticky situations. She takes pride in her work wants her clients to be happy with what she has created. We are thrilled to tuck ourselves into our serene and cozy bedroom each night and happy to say we'd hire Cory again in a heartbeat.

Cory did an amazing job with our kitchen renovation! She has a creative style that completely captured the vision of what we wanted . Her ability to work within our budget coupled with all of the wonderful people she had working in our home made this project truly enjoyable. An incredible professional that I would highly recommend.

Cory has wonderful taste and knows our house and our personalities (and limitations) very well at this stage. We wouldn't use anyone else!

Cory designed my kitchen, and my new bathroom. I had a budget that I really wanted to adhere to, and she came in under that. She has a keen sense for detail, and she really works to know her client’s style. We are now collaborating on my family room remodel, and I’ve been very happy with this project. Sometimes it can be a little harder tying things together when you are updating, and you don’t want to remodel your entire home. Cory does this with ease, however.

I started with Cory because I needed help choosing paint colors for the entire interior of my home. She was professional, knowledgeable, creative and completely on point. We continued to work together on window coverings and area rugs. When I’m ready to do my addition on my house I will use Cory again. She is truly outstanding!

I was so excited to work with Cory as I have loved all the projects I've seen of hers. She helped me choose paint colors, wall paper, light fixtures, a rug, a built in design and lovely accessories that fit my liking to my bedroom. She is so easy to work with and will stay within your budget. I was extremely happy with Cory's work that I am now having her design my kitchen!! Thank you Cory!!!

Cory is a pleasure to work with. She has impeccable taste - simple yet sophisticated- and a great eye for everything from paint colors to furniture dimensions to actual furniture to lighting. The photos you see on Houzz are truly reflective of her style. She is very professional and always worked within the budget we provided, offering a range of options for each piece, at different price points. Decorating a new home can be a daunting task, but she makes it fun and easy!

Cory is fun and easy to work with. Her recommendations and style are excellent; she has found things that we love but would never have picked out ourselves.

Cory is fantastic in every way possible... from her sense of style, to her creative use of space, color and light, to her personality that makes it so fun to get to work with her. She has a way of putting a room together like none other. Cory has designed our home renovation from architectural plans through finished accessories; as well as designed our company's office. She is amazing and I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a designer!

We recently completed a major renovation to our home. Cory was there to help every step of the way. She reviewed the architect's plans, helped with selections of cabinets and countertops, picked lighting fixtures and paint colors and made suggestions for all furniture and accessories. Cory has an incredible eye for design and detail and working with her made the whole project easy and stress free. She understands that the space needed to be livable, functional and comfortable for our family and she was mindful of our budget. She has great contacts for carpet, blinds and cabinetry and a top notch assistant to help get the job done. And, Cory is a blast to work with. We highly recommend Cory Connor Designs : )

I've had the pleasure of contracting Cory's services for the past sixth months, and have been thrilled with both the process and end result. As we remodeled our home, Cory was invaluable in not only helping me select lighting fixtures, but also in working with our kitchen designer on colors that make me smile every time I walk into the room. I appreciate how quickly Cory works--within a few hours of a meeting she'll send me several ideas for whatever room we're working on. It's that level of personal attention that has made furnishing our home such a delight!

We hired Cory to help us with our custom home construction project. She was instrumental in picking out all of our finishes, colors and fixtures, in addition to designing and furnishing multiple rooms. Her design instincts and advice were immeasurably helpful to us and we could not have done it without her. We highly recommend her!

The best thing I could have ever done for my home was to hire Cory Connor. She takes an ordinary room and turns it into a stunning, elegant, beautifully furnished living space. She listened to my opinions and made me feel a part of each decision that was made in the design process. I now have rooms in my home that I can be proud to show off. I love her style and will use her guidance and expertise again and again!

After becoming completely overwhelmed with a major home renovation we hired Cory. So happy that we did! She is AMAZING at what she does!! Step by step she worked with us to create our dream home. We could not be happier with the outcome! Not only is she professional but she made the process fun and stress-free. She is extremely creative and has an incredible eye. Cory was an absolute pleasure to work with!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

When my aging mom had to move from her 3 bedroom ranch house in a beach community our family was unsure how to proceed in a way that would not overwhelm my mom but would maximize her profits for future needs. We hired Cory Connor who was kind and thoughtful, sensitive to the budget and used funds in creative ways for a big impact. Instead of the expected pastels in a beach setting, Cory used BM Hale Navy and crisp white on the exterior, then brought the navy and white with sunny yellow and even red inside. My mom was delighted as Cory used some of mom's furnishings, but made everything updated and fresh. The realtor was stunned at the transformation and increased the list price by $80,000. We spent approximately $18,000 (less than our $20,000 budget). The house sold in 6 days to a young family. We are so grateful to this talented designer, it was such a great experience with rewarding results.

Cory was terrific. We wanted a decorator who was youthful and current. Cory understood the look we were hoping to achieve and she worked with us, the architect and the contractor to get it accomplished. She kept the project moving forward - we never had to wait for her so we could make a decision. She directed toward furnishings which were timeless, interesting and relatively affordable. She is fun and was a delight to work with. We have recommended her to friends and would be thrilled to work with her again.

Cory helped to transform our house into the ideal home that we have always wanted! She's very fun to work with, and developed a quick understanding of our style and taste. Cory knows how to decorate each room down to the very last detail, from paint colors, furniture and window treatments to accents and finishing accessories. She also has excellent relationships with reputable carpenters, painters, and electricians which kept everything well coordinated and saved us tons of time with our busy schedules. Cory also did a great job recommending furniture and accessories from a range of retailers across different price points, and found several unique items that really make our home distinct from any other. We highly recommend Cory for anyone looking to revamp a single room or an entire house.

I have used Cory Connor to redesign several rooms in my home. She is extremely down to earth and a true pleasure to work with! Cory has a knack for understanding her clients and can incorporate their personality into the design of the room. For me it was the color green - she transformed my dated living room with a sophisticated black and white look. She searched high and low to find the exact color green that I was picturing in my mind to complete the redesign. Cory is a designer who strikes the perfect balance between style and function!

I have been working with Cory for the past 2 years. If I had to describe her in one word. AMAZING. Two words...Design Genius. She has room by room re-designed by 1980s home into an classy, comfortable, beautiful space that I am proud and happy to call my home. Cory has a designers eye. She can walk into a roon a see a vision. She was so aware of my style that I trusted her narrowing down design choices to a few options...and usually went with her preferance. She does not up sell or over sell...bottom line is she is not only one of the most talented designers I have worked with, she cares about her customers. Her design style is simply amazing....if you are lucky enough to have her help in any design element of your home you will be happy you did. Working with Cory (and her team of contractors) was one of the best decisions I made during my home renovation.

We have been working with Cory for over 2 years and couldn't be happier with the result! When we moved into our new home we didn't know where to begin. Cory helped us through the initial stages of setting up our space and has continued to help design our rooms to make our house feel like a home. As a young family we are budget conscious but design and style is important to us. Cory knows what items to spend money on and what items we can find for less. Each room reflects this high/low mix. It is family (and toddler!) friendly, comfortable, stylish without being "overdesigned" and fits our lifestyle wonderfully. It is easy to maintain for our daily life but also looks great when company comes over. Cory is a pleasure to work with and has a wonderful eye - we can't recommend her enough!!

I never realized how invaluable hiring a designer was until we finally did. Cory saved us from making costly design mistakes and she saved us numerous hours searching for beautiful pieces for our home. When we first moved in Cory helped us with a few rooms in our house and now with our renovation, I am so happy Cory is by our side for all major decisions.

Words cannot express how thrilled I am to have hired Cory Connor Designs to decorate my living room! From our first meeting to our final walkthrough, Cory was there every step of the way! Whether your budget is big or small, Cory can accommodate your needs appropriately. She is truly such as pleasure to work with- friendly, dependable, resourceful, knowledgeable and has an INCREDIBLE eye for design! Cory's sense of color, spatial awareness and creativity equals an amazing job done! My husband and I couldn't be more happier with the final product of our living room and it has greatly exceeded our expectations! I HIGHLY recommend Cory!

It is not enough for someone to have excellent taste and customer service these days, we are all so busy, we need help with the actual execution on projects. Cory connects ALL the dots, she understood our vision as a client, knew when to push back and give us different recommendations, was always creative, cost conscious, reliable and prompt. An amazing experience. Her sense of style is unparalleled but most of all she is a wonderful partner in making your home the home of your dreams.

Cory has a great eye for color!! She knows exactly what needs to be done in a room to bring it together. She is great to work with and highly I recommend her!

Cory Connor is a talented interior designer who is wonderful to work with. Over the past few of years, we've decorated many rooms in our home with her help, including a family room, 2 bedrooms, & 3 bathrooms. We've been thrilled with the result of each room! She has a great eye and is able to make suggestions within your budget. I would absolutely recommend working with her.

Cory was an invaluable asset in updating two rooms in our home. Cory's expertise and professionalism provided an enjoyable and efficient experience for me and my family. She identified our needs and quickly produced two fantastic rooms that I now love to relax in and spend time with family and friends. Cory, along with her entire support staff, far exceeded my expectations!

Cory has impeccable taste. She's a true visionary. She understands design and how to transform a room. I live in a small NYC apartment and she took our traditional style living room and infused life back into it. The space seems bigger, open and fresh. We're extremely satisfied and compliments keep coming from all of our visitors.

Cory is one the most exciting designers I have worked with. The clean lines and simplicity of her aesthetic create a vibrant visual tension in her designs. As a professional drapery workroom, the most fulfilling way of working is in collaboration with a talented designer who has vision. We begin by measuring the space together so that we can troubleshoot right at the site; we discuss fabric options and whether they are appropriate for the application; and we zero in on any other details to ensure that the final outcome will be perfect for the client on installation day. It is my favorite way of working. I appreciate her eye for fabric and color because it is always more fun in the workroom when I am working with materials that I find beautiful! Plus, and maybe most importantly, we have fun working together.

I worked with Cory to redecorate our living room. I had been trying to create an inviting and relaxing space for a couple of years on my own, but repeatedly disappointed with my results. Cory took time to understand our taste and developed a plan to suit our budget. It's now our favorite room and we've received many compliments from friends and family.

Cory Connor Designs is simply the best. She completely Transformed our family room into a gorgeous functional space. She also did wonders with our new porch. She is nothing But professional and a pleasure to work with!!

We highly recommend Cory! She did an excellent job of redesigning our living room and came up with creative ways to work with our space and within our budget. She helped us choose furniture and fabric and created a room that we love. Cory is extremely talented and very easy to work with, and we hope to work with her again in the future.

Cory Connor is amazing! She has an incredible eye and makes the process of redecorating fun ... and affordable! She takes risks with fun, bright colors and the results are beautiful rooms that everyone loves. She is incredible at mixing old pieces (often restored) and new, and finding unique items to make the room look and feel special. She redecorated our family room and turned it into a warm space using beautful colors and maximizing a small space making every inch count. I cannot say enough good things about Cory -- I plan to redo almost every room in my house and won't do one thing until Cory is on board! Above all, it is a pleasure to work with Cory. She is fun, kind, creative, supportive and just wonderful!

It was a delight working with Cory. We built some custom magnetic bulletin boards for her clients. She has a beautiful sense of style and was so easy to work with. Thanks, Cory!

Cory was an invaluable tasset in helping us modernize our house. We greatly appreciated her candor, and vision. We also liked that she has a particular point of view, and is willing to share it! Her advice has made a big impact on our house, especially the kitchen. We look forward to a continuing relationship!

We loved working with Cory! Her design sense is chic, fun and practical. Cory is such fun to work with and really understood what we wanted but still made it functional.

Simply the Best! I needed help with a coffee table, TV stand and an area rug. The second Cory walked into my house she suggested that we move furniture and it immediately opened up my house in a way that I never thought possible. Her eye for design is in such good taste and was able to stay on task with a budget. I get so many compliments on my house and I wish I could take credit for it...all the way down to the picture frames....but I can't. It's been 3 years since Cory re-designed my family room and there has not been a day that I walk into the room thinking to myself...."I love this room!"

Cory did an amazing job transforming our Living and Dining rooms into beautiful, functional spaces. She was a pleasure to work with and highly recommend her.

Cory is a pleasure to work with - has a great eye, is professional and very respectful of budget and timing. Highly recommend!

Cory Connor is an absolute pleasure to work with. She definitely has a 6th sense about knowing her clients personal style and working with it. I have had times where I have wanted to be a part of the process of working with her in decorating and times where I just leave it all up to her to acquire pieces of furniture and accessories . Both ways I have been overjoyed with the outcome. She is never pushy Although I am sure she has many clients she makes you feel as if you are the only one. I highly recommend Cory to anyone who wants to redecorate a room / rooms to be unique, livable and a reflection of their personality.

Cory came into my house and within minutes she was transforming the place! She pulled furniture around to get a better sense of space, ripped off my annoying fireplace grate, and reorganized my dining room. From that first appointment, I knew she was someone I could trust. She doesn't just come in with swatches - she comes in determined to help people live happier lives in their homes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Cory is an incredible partner. She's professional and quickly helped us define our style and taste. We were thrilled with Cory's work on redesigning our kitchen, living room, dining room, mudroom, office and master bedroom. She also led the design of our master bathroom renovation, which turned out great. Most importantly, Cory took the stress out of both projects and made them fun and exciting. Cory is passionate about what she does - and it's contagious!

Cory is terrific! She has been great to work with and incredibly creative. She brought great color ideas and beautiful designs while working with a multi-generational household. She contracted with an excellent carpenter/contractor who does very excellent work. Everyone in our house is so pleased with our new surroundings!

Cory has been working in our house for the past year as we tackle one project after another. She is very easy to work with and 100% reliable. She has an amazing eye and has transformed the spaces she has worked on into fun, beautiful and functional spaces. We highly recommend Cory!

Cory Connor Designs is a fantastic company! And Cory is wonderful to work with. We hired Cory when we left our 1200 sq ft 2 bedroom apartment in NYC and moved into a 5 bedroom 5000 sq foot house. We were come rely overwhelmed. Cory helped with all things big and small. From picking out bedroom linens, or designing and creating built ins, to ordering tons of furniture and designing and installing a bar in the "man cave". Cory has an amazing sense of design and style. And she is always available to help. She stays within budget and makes recommendations that are various price ranges so you get a real feel for what is out there. Cory does amazing work AND she is a really good person. She even brought me a meal when I was recovering from surgery! I highly recommend Cory Connor Designs. Feel free to email me with questions. Jen Rein JenRein73@gmail.com
