Denise Maloney Interior Design

We had the pleasure of working with Denise Maloney and her assistant, Maureen, for nearly a year on a comprehensive remodel of our mid-century modern home, including a small addition and significant wall/window changes. Denise is an exceptional designer who genuinely listens. She took our ideas and turned them into spaces that not only met but surpassed our expectations. Her talent and creativity show up in the details, and she has a rare ability to balance aesthetics with everyday functionality. She communicated clearly throughout the project and helped us feel confident in each decision. What really sets Denise apart is her commitment to client satisfaction: she consistently went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the results, while always acting with integrity. We wholeheartedly recommend Denise to anyone seeking a talented, trustworthy, and dedicated interior designer. Our home is now exactly what we had hoped for, thanks to her expertise.

From the moment I met Denise, I knew I was in good hands. She didn’t just see my living room as a space to be decorated; she saw it as a place to be lived in, a sanctuary where I could truly feel at home. Her approach was both professional and deeply personal, and it made all the difference. Denise began by taking the time to understand my style and preferences. She asked me to share pictures of locations where I felt most comfortable, which helped her get a sense of the atmosphere I was aiming for. This initial consultation was incredibly insightful and set the tone for our collaboration. What truly set Denise apart was her willingness to spend time in my home, listening to my ideas and discussing how I wanted to feel in the space. She was patient, attentive, and genuinely interested in creating a living room that reflected my personality and lifestyle. Her attention to detail was meticulous, and she had a knack for suggesting just the right pieces of furniture and the perfect paint and wallpaper combinations. The result was nothing short of magical. My living room is now a cozy, relaxing, and inviting atmosphere that I look forward to coming home to each day. The furniture she selected is not only beautiful but also functional, and the color palette she created brings a sense of warmth and tranquility to the space. Denise’s design choices have transformed my living room into a place where I can unwind and feel truly at peace. I can’t recommend Denise enough. Her expertise, creativity, and dedication to her clients are second to none. If you’re looking for a designer who will listen to your needs and bring your vision to life, Denise is the one to call. Thank you, Denise, for making my home a place I love to be!

Denise is a miracle worker! We expanded our home, but it had this odd concrete curtain wall and we could not figure out for years how to finish the room, even after consulting with other designers. When Denise came in she had a vision to add paneling and cabinets that even solved some tricky obstacles (hiding a trap door, working around ducting, etc). The finished product is absolutely beautiful. She perfected all the odd issues, resulting in a clean, calm and beautiful space. We can’t believe it’s ours. She also had a great design to designate the office portion of the room and designed an amazing reeded oak panel feature wall. All of this to say, Denise is an amazing problem solver, with a great vision, that gets the job done beautifully and incredibly efficiently.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Denise on the design of our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and results. Denise is the epitome of professionalism, combining her incredible creativity with an unmatched attention to detail. She was patient and receptive to our ideas, seamlessly incorporating our vision into a cohesive and stunning design. Her communication skills were exceptional, keeping us informed and engaged throughout the entire process. Denise was also incredibly hardworking and punctual, ensuring every phase of the project stayed on track. It was a true joy collaborating with her, and we wholeheartedly recommend Denise to all of our family and friends. If you’re looking for a designer who brings passion, precision, and artistry to their work, Denise is the one!

Denise helped us design our new kitchen. I had a lot of photos of kitchens and the vibe that we were looking for. It wasn’t cookie cutter. We wanted different lower cabinet colors than the uppers. We wanted something unique for our flooring and our backsplash, but weren't sure what that would be. She listen, took in all our ideas and came back with the perfect design. Terrazzo flooring, beautiful, brass-studded backsplash, walnut lowers and beige upper cabinets with gorgeous gold pulls. A black accent pantry and black refrigerator were the perfect contrast. It tuned out so beautifully. We loved working with Denise. She was full of ideas, but always sure to incorporate (and elevate) ours into the mix. I would never hesitate to recommend Denise to anyone for any interior design project She is a lovely person and an amazing designer.

Denise was the best! Amazing to work with her, and her assistant, Maureen. Both were highly professional. I would highly recommend Denise to anyone who needs help with a remodel or home build. Denise listened to what my husband and I wanted and actually delivered exactly what we envisioned on budget, all through challenging covid issues. She has great resources for quality sub contractors who fit us in to make our project move along. I would definetly use Denise again if we ever decide to build another house! She helped make this one perfect!

Thank goodness we hired Denise at DMID, I am so glad we did. Denise was so easy to work with and made the project way more productive and way more fun. If we didn't have her expertise on board, it would have cost us way more and taken so so much longer. It would have also never come together so beautifully! We are so pleased. Denise is a seasoned professional and it was clear the entire project. Denise has amazing taste and great vision. Creating beautiful, tasteful and unique selections and recommendations the entire way. She was also excited to help us realize our creative hopes in a real way, which is so hard! She is wonderfully patient and brings and incredible amout of knowledge to the table. Denise also rolls with the craziness that is client decision making and can keep things moving diplomatically! We are quite new to the process and Denise always answered all our questions (lots) and helped us navigate a variety bumps that came up along the way, no matter how busy she was. We always felt like she gave us her full attention and thought, regardless of project size. Everyone we worked with at her firm was great! Thorough, patient and so super knowledgeable. Thank you Denise! Would hire her again in a heartbeat and would recommend her firm highly!

The smartest move we made in executing our problematic remodel was to select Denise Maloney as our designer. She provided creative options and solutions we would not have known possible. Because of her excellent relationships in the marketplace, her design and its execution were meticulously carried out. She and her staff are readily accessible,conscientious, and professional. Working with Denise was such a pleasure and our remodel is just one more of her success stories, I’m sure.

I cannot say enough positive things about Denise and her staff. They listened carefully to our ideas and preferences, helping us to choose the right designs and products for our home. They have a very high work ethic and also have a number of really good contacts as other related issues arose. Strong sense of color coordination and spatial design. Highest of marks!!

We hired denise as our lead designer in a house rebuild project. I have worked with her for aprox 18mos. we found her to be very attentive, creative, professional, knowlegeable with an excellent skill set. Can't say enough about how refreshing it is to work with a passionate designer who genuinely cares about their work

I’ve known Denise and admired her work for quite some time. This year I hired her to help me with a handrail for my San Francisco loft. I started the project with some initial ideas but, as Denise guided me through the endeavor, the design evolved and the final handrail is more stunning than I could have imagined. On top of that, the process of working with Denise was a joy. I’ve recommended Denise to my closest friends and will continue to do so.

After interviewing numerous interior designers my wife and I had a meeting with Denise, she was hired on the spot. She answered all financial related questions, was honest, and straightforward. Our ground up project was a challenge since we had never lived in a home. Denise went out of her scope of work on the interior/exterior of the home and yard. Because she is one time, plans ahead, always prepared for meetings with design boards, presents numerous ideas that aligned with what we were looking for, and is extremely organized the entire team of consultants had to step up their game. She pointed out other consultant’s mistakes in a very professional manner while not stepping on anyone’s ego which lead to a collaborative effort among all consultants. Because of Denise we have a one of a kind amazing home, this project would have never been completed without her and she was on budget!
