DANE AUSTIN INTERIOR DESIGN Boston & Cambridge

I feel happiest and most relaxed when in my home, and thanks to the incredible work of the DADI team. I appreciate your responsiveness, patience and support throughout the renovation process. . Your talent, guidance, and partnership have made this experience both enjoyable and rewarding. Thank you for all your hard work over the past year. I’m more than happy to leave a 5-star review, refer your firm to others, and look forward to working with you again in the future!

I was lucky to meet Dane when he was first searching for a home in the Boston area. It was immediately apparent that he was talented beyond the abilities of your average interior designer. Dane saw things in properties that I could never imagine, and he has proven over and over again that he is one of the best. I will always think of Dane first when clients need a referral!

Dane and his team members were helpful throughout our design and execute process. My wife and I purchased a pre-construction condo in East Somerville's Assembly Row. The unit was lacking character, color and texture so we sought and found Dane's guidance through a local internet search. Dane was particularly helpful in showcasing ideas and prospective layouts, co-hosting supplier visits, narrowing our options and executing over a mutually acceptable timetable. We and visitors are pleased with the outcome and commend Dane for his vision and candid execution.

Dane has one of the best eyes for detail I have ever encountered. He has impeccable taste, a fabulous sense of leadership, well-developed organizational skills, and excels at project management. His proven Signature Process guarantees each and every project has a positive outcome and happy clients. We whole-heartedly recommend him and his friendly team. The overall experience is easy, enjoyable, and efficient!

I’ve known Dane for over 5 years and can honestly say that he’s the best interior designer I've met. His attention to detail, his ability to listen to his clients while pushing them to be creative, his professionalism and his true passion for design come through absolutely. Do not hesitate to call him to design your home!

Dane and his team are extremely attentive, detail oriented, and responsive. He spends quality time with you to ensure that he understands your needs and your tastes. Everything that he has recommended and procured for us has been perfect for our home. We love living in our house, because of Dane. Without him, our home would still feel foreign to us. He truly is the best.

As a owner of a Painting company, I need to rely on designers to help my clients choosing color before we can start the projects. Dane and his team has helped us many times, all ways very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended!

I was looking for a designer to help with color, window treatment, and fixture selections as part of a fairly extensive home renovation project. Dane and Aga were recommended to me by my architect. They met with me and asked thoughtful questions to understand our style (which definitely was not evident based on how our home looked at the time). They made several recommendations which I would not have thought of myself, including refacing our very tired fireplace, refinishing the wood floors with a darker stain, painting the entry hallway a beautiful blue-green color, and hanging wallpaper in several rooms. They also helped with light fixtures, tile, etc. Everything is coming together really well. Hopefully once the dust settles in another year or so, we can work on some of Dane and Aga's suggestions around flooring and furniture.

We are still adding the "final touches" to our dining room and living area but we're enjoying the process with Dane and Aga as our designers. They both have a great eye and balance each other's personality & style in the most perfect way. Dane was quick to understand my needs and add his own spin to create a space that has a French countryside feel with a splash of the beach which is what my life revolves around. I would recommend Dane Austin Design to anyone looking for a unique, memorable space.

Finally, I can let people in off the front porch! Working with Dane and his team is a fantastic experience. From the front welcome mat and custom carpeted stairs in the main entrance to the drapery rods and careful art placement throughout, every detail is considered. Dane uses a personal and friendly approach, an invaluable 15-Step process, detailed questionnaire, in-depth conversations, a dedicated team, and an inspired sense of style for a job done well done. The vendors he recommended were all professional and a pleasure to work with as well. He exceeded our expectations, and delivered a beautiful, happy, and comfortable living space! Many people think that only fancy folks use interior designers. I was skeptical at first. After meeting with Dane, I was ALL IN. We were open to both high-end retail furniture, and fabulous flea market finds. Dane was great at getting us value for our money while offering unexpected surprises that pushed us out of our comfort zone but came with delightful outcomes. That’s fancy to me. I would (and have) recommend Dane to friends and family, and to anyone who will listen. You will not be disappointed. We have lived in our Newton home for eight years. Most of that time has been relegated to raising three children aged 6,8 & 10. Not much time in that eight years was spent considering our decor. Whenever guests came to visit, I hoped they wouldn’t want to enter. Now, after having worked with Dane Austin Design, I fling open the door, newly painted in my favorite plum color - and insist they come in!

Really did a beautiful job transforming my living room to a space that matches my personality! Dane is very patient, kind, and has such a keen eye! He taught me a lot about interior design and encouraged me to take some risks to make my home look the way I hoped it would but could never figure out how to do it myself.

Dane Austin Design was hired to update and repair our Cape Cod home which had not been done for about 25 years . Because we were in Florida for the winter, Mr. Austin took over completely. We were updated on a regular basis about work that needed to be done and the completion of each phase of design. They managed the entire project with ease. Some of the design work completed included a new furniture layout; adding a new fireplace surround; new trim and moldings; new tile work; repainting the whole house; wallpapering the entry (which I was nervous about -but it is now my favorite design feature); custom window treatments and lighting throughout. Mr. Austin's team helped us de-clutter and repurpose old furniture; reusing many of our cherished items, but purchasing new pieces as needed. They also helped source new artwork and managed the install for everything. We arrived home for the Spring season to Mr. Austin and his team who handled every last detail. They greeted us at the door with champagne and appetizers to walk us through every room, highlighting the updated spaces with fresh cut flowers, lit candles, and sweet treats in the candy dishes. Mr. Austin made us feel very comfortable leaving him in control of the project and we couldn't be happier. He is a true professional.
