Design For the Times

Interior Designers & Decorators

About Us

Over the past thirty years I worked in the field of Photographic Styling for commercial photography. This is where I gained much of my experience as a Set Designer. This knowledge I gained gave me the opportunity to teach at the "Fashion Institute of Tech." where I wrote and developed the course outline for "Styling" as well as teaching the course for ten years. In 2004 I opened my business "Design for the Times", where I handle all areas of interior design, from concept to completion. I look forward to working with you.

I hired Marci to help with one master bathroom renovation She was so attentive and able to listen to what I liked and she did a fabulous job. Started redoing 1 room wound up re-doing 1 office, 4 bedrooms along with tweaking another bedroom. She is pleasant, always prompt, responds to messages asap.

I worked with Marci on a top of the line bathroom and kitchen renovation, both of which turned out STUNNING! She was meticulous in the details, was pleasant to work with and was always available and responsive to coordinate details with the Contractor and Owner. I would highly recommend Design for the Times!!

Design for the Times worked with us to design our kitchen which required a complete gut renovation. They not only designed the kitchen but guided us through the renovation process. Found appliances that fit the space and a design that made the kitchen very functional with more storage space than we could have imagined. Professional, creative, detail oriented. I included before and after pics, below.

My wife and I hired Marci to plan, bid and oversee the remodeling of our kitchen. She was professional and informative throughout. We are very happy with the results.

Our family had big dreams for a beautiful home, and while I know what I like, but I knew I could not manage this on my own. Marci took on my project - total redesign and reconstruction of my kitchen, guest bathroom, living room and more! Marci and her team always made sure to listen to what would work best for my family and our design preferences...never pushy, but always honest about what would work and what would not. We certainly had some challenging projects for her! She has a keen eye for beautiful things and patterns that work together ( which I never would have guessed would work!) I could not have done this project without her and her sidekick Liz...felt like I was getting together with friends every time we met. Marci is reasonably priced, very responsive and always goes the extra mile to not only make the project just right but to my families compete satisfaction. More projects to come down the road and we will not do them without her!

They did a complete remodel of my kitchen. I was extremely happy with the work. The owner stayed on top of the job and made sure the job was done timely. Very clean. Cleaned up every day before leaving for the day. Would highly recommend.

Design for the Times provided only excellent services through all phases of my kitchen remodel, from concept, to technical drawings, cabinet/appliance/flooring/tile/countertop/accessory selection, shopping assistance, quality control, through final inspections. Marci Morelli was quick to discern my style preferences, and did a good job implementing those. I am very happy with the end product, and would definitely recommend Marci and Design for the Times!

We had a great experience with Design for the Times! We needed help picking out colors and accent furniture for our family room. We loved the ideas and can’t wait for our project to be completed!

Marci helped us to design our finished basement after we had a previous contractor not see our 'exact vision'. Marci came through with unique designs and great ideas that we are very happy with. Our basement provides the WOW factor that we were envisioning and we could not be happier. We wanted something functional, beautiful and appealing and she NAILED IT! We would recommend Design for the Times for any job! Thanks to Marci!

We are thrilled with the kitchen Marci designed and installed for us!! We could have never ended up with such a fabulous result on our own. Her creative ideas and encouraging guidance made a daunting project less intimidating. Marci’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and professionalism were especially appreciated when issues with suppliers and contractors required attention. Our kitchen was completed by our stated deadline, and the final product far exceeded our expectations!

Marci was very helpful and gave my husband and I great ideas for our new home. Marci was great at giving us her professional opinion about questions we had or ideas for certain rooms. We were very pleased with Marci’s services and would recommend her to anyone else.

Marci worked with me through a full master bath renovation, from concept and design through to completion. Her knowledge and expertise in all areas of construction, design and reliable resources was invaluable in successfully executing a major renovation project. The bathroom was fully gutted and renovated under her direction. When challenges arose, Marci had suggestions and solutions. When I found all the decisions and choices overwhelming, she supported me with helpful guidance and patience. Most importantly....she helped me to avoid costly mistakes and her sense of design, style and color assured a well appointed bath. She respected my budget and worked to find affordable, quality fixtures and furnishings. I would suggest contacting Marci as soon as you decide to undertake a design/ decorating/ renovation project....I give her an unconditional and enthusiastic referral. She will be my "go to" person for any future decorating project I decide to undertake.
