For the past 3 years, my family and I have been enjoying our beautiful home designed by this fantastic duo. Still to this day, we get so many wonderful compliments on the design! From the their custom-wallpaper (go to Mitchell Black y'all) to the precise understanding of how space is used (I'll forever be grateful for the rock-climbing wall installed in the play room - a fun space for my kids and I to get lit!), every nook and cranny and curated with an eye for a chic aesthetic complemented by an organic flow and unique designs. I continue to be inspired by the beauty of my home and was so impressed by their vision and the work ethic it took to bring it all together. Yes, years later we feel like we're in our little heaven on earth. Looking forward to working with Forbes + Masters again!

I absolutely love working with Forbes and Masters. Excellent communication and impeccable taste. I'm so excited to see the completion of my 2nd phase with them. Then onto the next one....

I met Monet and Tavia at an interior design conference in 2018 and I was captivated by their work then. Fast-forward to 2021, when I purchased my 4-story townhome, I purchased it knowing that I would ultimately have them design it. I cannot underestimate the expertise these two women bring to the table. In a world saturated with duplication and redundancy, they bring curated, exclusive designs that are nothing like you will find on the internet. They are second to none.

Comment from FORBES MASTERS:

Wow. Wow. Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words. We look forward to working on your second home :-)

I absolutely loved working with Forbes & Masters. The team was able to take the bits and pieces of my ideas and turn it into an office and powder bathroom that turned out even wilder than I could've imagined. Since their magic touch in my home, I've been enjoying every bit of my space. I cannot thank them enough for their diligence and push to get my project done before the holidays. They truly helped me turn my house into a home and I'm forever grateful.

It was an absolute pleasure working with you. Thank you for trusting us with your vision.

i cannot say enough about the consistent excellence these ladies exude in every way. from business acumen to personableness, they are stellar! i had the privilege to work closely with Monet on my project. her acuity was a breath of fresh air. but more than that, the care and concern she showed for me personally was a beautiful quality you don't find much in transactional exchanges nowadays. lastly, i appreciated the enthusiasm and excitement in her sharing of my deliverables. it showed me that she had a personal interest and investment in my satisfaction and love for my space. i look forward to upcoming projects discussed and wish these beautiful ladies continued success. i have no doubt FORBES + MASTERS will continue to break barriers and ceilings as women (of color)... leading their industry into unprecedented territory in all things premier design.

Tavia and Monet are consummate professionals in every sense. This was my first experience working with interior designers and they far exceeded any expectations I had coming into the process. From our initial meeting, they were quite adept at understanding the look and feel I wanted to achieve within my space and the end result continues to wow me daily. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone considering any interior design project, whether small or large scale, and cannot wait to enlist their services for my next project!

Forbes + Masters..... these ladies are Masters at their work. Their professionalism, attention to detail and impeccable design and style is truly outstanding. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to bring life, engery and style into their home. I truly enjoy my home space even more now than ever.

Forbes + Master truly delivers! These ladies were professional, thorough, flexible, and precise! This was my first larger scale design project, but upon meeting them I was immediately put at ease. They were able to artistically execute spaces that reflected my style perfectly! Tavia and Monet are true gems in this industry, and I highly recommend their services.....I’m looking forward to working with them on future designs.

Thank you Jay for taking the time to write this review and for trusting us with your home!

Subsequent to working with Forbes + Masters, I have recommended the firm to a number of friends and family and similarly, I'll recommend them to you! Monet and Tavia excel at implementing creative and unique ideas in living spaces that are stunning, but still feel like home. I really appreciate their knack for taking a concept (even something kind of ethereal and vague) and bringing it to life. Monet and Tavia know how to just make things WORK. As someone who loves design, but has a very hard time actually getting things done, I was really appreciative of their knowledge and judgment. I trusted them to make a number of decisions that I otherwise would not have made, and I'm glad I did. Although we had some initial hiccups around timelines and communications, I was ultimately very pleased with how they responded to the constructive criticism and finished the project with grace, taking our concerns into consideration. To me, that is the true sign of a professional. They also have good professional relationships, which allows them to execute complicated projects well and efficiently. Monet and Tavia's strong negotiation skills were also helpful when dealing with vendors and contractors. In sum, I absolutely adore the spaces they created for us. They did a wonderful job of capturing our personalities and our aesthetics. I'd recommend Forbes + Masters to anyone who is looking for thoughtful, unique, and exciting design that they'll be eager to show off...or just sit back and enjoy.

I am so glad I worked with Forbes + Masters. I'd never decorated anything in my life but I knew that after purchasing a home, I wanted to decorate but I didn't know where to start. With very little initial input from me, they were able to ask the right question to get the answers they needed to design the perfect home for me and they did just that! I was blown away by the results as they created a home beautiful beyond my wildest dreams.

I have used other design firms in the past but Forbes + Masters (F + M) is the only firm I would use again and would refer to others to use. F + M are professional, creative, fun to work with and finished my project on time and within budget. My project involved repurposing items that I already had and they were masterful at figuring out how to make many of our existing pieces come to life in our new space. They also introduced some custom pieces to compliment my new space. Lastly, my husband who is hard to impress loved the “reveal” after install....he said he felt like he was in a HGTV episode.

It was a pleasure to work with Forbes + Master. From very engaging consultations to watching the design process unfold, we were really impressed by their creative minds, attention to detail, level of professionalism, and ability to capture and execute our vision and style so perfectly. Tavia and Monet did an amazing job with our home and it was well worth the investment and the wait. We highly recommend their services and we look forward to working with them on future projects.

There’s not one complaint we had with these ladies. From the beginning to the end. We now love our beautiful home. And love showing it off. We highly recommend these ladies.

These ladies have awesome vision! I engaged them for their 1-hour consultation. I have a small space with some unique challenges, and they came in and immediately began bouncing off solution ideas. What was best about their approach is that, as they were offering solutions, they checked with me each step of the way to ensure that I was in agreement with their direction. When they left, I felt empowered with fresh concepts that I would never have considered myself. These ladies are gifted at what they do! In the future, I'll hire them for the full staging service!

Tavia and Monet are absolutely the best in the business! Their creativity, work ethic, professionalism and passion are simply unmatched. It's not easy to design for a household of three women (aged 14-60) who have very different styles and taste, but Tavia and Monet made it look easy and always stayed within budget. They have designed seven rooms in our house, and will be completing a few more by the end of the year. We are so pleased with their work, we can't say enough about them. If you're considering an interior design service, don't hesitate to reach out to them. It was the best decision we made since buying our house!

Reni Lawal

My virtual consultation with Forbes + Masters was wonderful. Tavia listened to my jumbled ideas and help me focus them to come up with a color palette and layout plans for my 1st floor living space. She imparted so much useful information that makes me feel a lot more confident about making design choices moving forward.

Words cannot begin to accurately or thoroughly describe the exceptional experience we had hiring and working with these creative, inspiring, and downright fantastic women! They have a great sense of style for what looks good (but is also functional and practical). Before working with Forbes & Masters our space had no personality or warmth. We knew we made the right choice hiring them during the consultation but we were hooked when they presented the mood board and renderings to us. They listened to all of our needs and desires and executed our dream space flawlessly. Not only did they deliver what we asked for and then some but they also helped us break out of our comfort zone! They were able to take my fiance and I's mixed styles and mesh them into something completely stunning! They always gave us multiple choices and price ranges for things so we could make sure it fit our budget. Every single dollar spent was well worth it. We are so in love with our new entertaining space we can't stop smiling. We are so thankful and appreciative for the work that they did. We will definitely be hiring them again in the future!

Energetic, responsive, professional and creative to fit any budget and style. They have done project that have gotten rave reviews from visitors and friends from a make over town home to a physician office.

This is an incredibly creative duo that will blow you away. I reached out to Forbes + Masters to design and furnish a three bedroom model apartment in Orlando, FL. Their take on the model was completely fresh and bold. So much texture and drama, but still neutral enough to appeal to the masses. Their attention to detail was so special down to the arrangement of the bed pillows and the artwork that was so unexpected and just worked so well! I had been following their work for a bit and was so excited to hear they were willing to work with our tight budget and travel to us. You will not be disappointed, you will be inspired, you will be surprised and you will be more than pleased. I hope to work with the team again and would recommend them to anyone seriously looking to bring their space to the next level!

These women are PHENOMENAL! They're style is impeccable and they have such a great eye for detail. They are bold yet chic. These two ladies are such a joy to work worth with and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for them. #blackgirlmagic

Forbes + Masters are amazing. They captured exactly what I envisioned for my dining room and entry. The consultation was prompt, attentive and they provided every detail and ideas for the space. I never thought having an interior designer could provide so much benefits but they were excellent and I will definitely be hiring them for the space and many others throughout my home. I highly recommend them even if all you need is someone to help hone your ideas so that you can be focused when decorating. Amazing service.

May 5, 2017

Ana Torres

Amazing. Captured my taste, my needs and budget. Their attention to detail made all the difference. I thought hiring interior decorators would be out of reach, but the time involved and professional expertise is worth it. Forbes + Masters shopped for the best prices without skimping on quality.

We chose Forbes + Masters after reading reviews about their excellent service and reviewing their portfolio. As an international client having the right design partner was really important for us as we needed a Company that could help us navigate the complexities of an international job. We have found Forbes + Master to be responsive, flexible, creative and an absolute pleasure to work with. Every project comes with it's delay and challenges and Forbes + Masters have been great partners in working through the natural curves that projects throw your way. We would recommend them for your project, you won't be disappointed.

Katrice Matthews

I had the pleasure of working with Tavia and Monet for a virtual consultation and it was a wonderful experience. In our brief 1 hour Skype call, the Forbes+Masters team's passion and dedication for design came through seamlessly! They were inquisitive, creative and responsive to my design teams. During our call they had no problem telling me to grab a tape measure so that they could look up a design piece an offer suggestions on the spot. I felt that they made great use of the time and gave me a great "bang" for my "buck." I have not yet hired them yet because just days afterward, I learned that I was expecting, which has changed my priorities a bit!

Such a creative design and talented design team. Both ladies are professional, courteous and will listen to any ideas and elements you want to incorporate yet also bring their unique touch and ideas that take your project over the top.

Forbes and Masters created a magnificent man cave in my basement for me. They followed the ideas shared and worked hard to ensure that the space reflected my style. The finished product was perfect and based on the theme I chose.. I was thoroughly impressed with the work done in the space beyond just furniture. These ladies definitely have a unique skill set and the ability to completely transform a room. I am glad my wife found them and we will definitely be doing more projects with them in the future.

I've lived in my house for over 3 years, but I've rarely used my home office because it just never felt like "me," despite the fact that I selected all of the furnishings and the layout. After discovering FORBES + MASTERS' work on Instagram, I knew that they were just the right duo to make my home office a space where I would love to work and feel inspired to create. They did not disappoint! When I received the eDesign package from Tavia and Monet, I was blown away by how easily they nailed my style. The clean, minimal, and chic design was exactly what I was seeking. The best part was that they provided me with a floor plan as well as a mood board that provided various options for the decor items at different price points. I loved having options so that I could feel like I had a hand in the final design. On top of having a keen eye for design, Monet and Tavia are a pleasure to work with. They are the perfect mix of fun and professional!

Monet and Tavia were approachable and caring from the beginning. They were in constant communication throughout the process and I was blown away with both finished products. They were able to completely turn our master bedroom into an oasis. I couldn't have asked for more.

Monet has a really good eye for design. She has great communication skills and a genuine interest in making your project look good. She was able to define our design style quickly and make sure we stayed true to it throughout the process. We enjoyed our project with her and are using her for more rooms in our home.
