Whether you have a whole house to remodel, or you just need help with accessorizing, you would be lucky to have Grania Murray on your project. She is extremely responsive, organized, and creative!

Grania is awesome! She was hired to renovate our hospital's waiting area and parts of our Skilled Nursing Facility. She helped select flooring, wall covering, furniture, etc. to make these areas more functional and attractive. The project is in progress, but she has been a pleasure to work with and an effective project manager in the face of many odds and hospital regulations. She works thoughtfully and really tries to understand the needs of our patients and staff so she can deliver a solution that makes everyone happy. I can't wait to see the finished product!

Grania was an absolute pleasure to work with! Her impressive portfolio of work, knowledge and design aesthetic were second to none and made it so easy to collaborate together. Grania is an excellent communicator who goes above and beyond for partners and clients. I couldn't recommend her enough.

Unless you are very clear about your goals and firm about the parameters of your project from the beginning, you could well be oversold by this interior designer. Her upfront fee for onsite consultation is steep and we did not find out that her goals and ours did not match until after we paid her retainer. We wanted to repair water damage and upgrade a half bathroom and she tried to sell us on major renovations involving ripping out walls and gutting and remodeling our kitchen. We ended up losing $5K that could have gone into our renovations. She is professional in her manner and may do well for very high-end projects that align with her goals and vision, but we were very disappointed.

Grania was super efficient and easy to work with. Pointed out things that I never would have realised , if I had not engaged her services.
My family loved the results. I will use her again. Her confidence was inspiring .

Grania is such a great person to work with. She listened closely to all my requirements and advised me expertly on how to spend the budget and get maximum impact for my home.
She added great value to my property and was a true professional in every sense of the word. Her team was always on time and extremely efficient and respectful.
I have recommended her to several of my clients and would happily engage her services again.
Yours sincerely

I have hired Grania Murray, ASID for the ground up construction of a retreat resort. The project is not yet completed, but already Grania and I are on the same page, synchronistic, about the big picture and the small details. Her insights and suggestions as to the architectural design are also very helpful. Her keen eye and instinct are strong and accurate.
She is professional respectful, on time for meetings, works well with my other team members (contractor, architect, landscape architect), in fact we all have lunch together. She is mindful of the budget, suggesting where it's appropriate to be thrifty, and where/when to spend extra.
I am very happy with my decision to bring her on board as part of my team, and would highly recommend Grania.

I have worked with Grania on several large and small projects in Ireland. She worked with her clients to design custom made soft furnishings that we manufactured to her specifications. Grania would always pay huge attention to detail and would expect the same from anybody working for her. She would also be very conscious of budget and would strive to get the desired finish at the best possible price for her clients. She has a great eye for modern, contemporary fabrics and design. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for something different and special in their home.

Grania Murray is the most professional of designers. Intelligent and acutely aesthetically
aware. I found Grania to be highly efficient, very savvy about budgets and how to get the most
stunning interiors for whatever the outlay -large or small.. A pleasure to work with - I had a very enjoyable time with Grania working on our project.
I would highly recommend this designer and in particular for her excellent taste.

I've had the greatest pleasure living in many homes that Grania has designed. One of those was our family villa in France which was the most amazing place. She renovated it entirely and we have enjoyed many years there, vacationing and entertaining friends and family. The Sanctuary it provides in our busy lives is outstanding. The homes she also created for our family to live in The US and Ireland are outstanding spaces and have been photographed for National magazines. She always makes the whole process appear so effortless. She's a true professional who cares about her clients.

Commented: Window treatment dilemmaAgreed. However if your supplier insists that the window is too wide for this, get 3 running top to bottom as your wood work will accept this option too. Best of luck!

I couldn't be more surprised by your review which has just come to my attention. Our numerous emails reflect an entirely different record of events. I also visited your home with 3 different contractors in an effort to get competitive pricing for the project. I prepared two proposals for you, on the basis of staying in your home, or selling your home and met you and your husband Ed several times to discuss your options. I even recommended you consult with a real estate professional to help you decide how to move forward with adding value to your home, and finally decide to sell or stay. I know I gave your project a huge amount of time, effort and care so you'll understand I'm surprised you view it so differently.
