We have had the pleasure of working with Pamela Hughes and her associates on design projects for the last 10 years. Pamela has a superb knowledge of craftsmanship and materials. She is able to specify the products appropriate to the job and inspect the installation with a keen eye. The combination of her design talent and commitment to her clients' satisfaction has been demonstrated time and time again. We look forward to continuing to work with Pamela and her excellent team!

We retained Pamela and her team at Hughes Design Associates to update and furnish a Bayfront condo on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Project duration was approximately nine months and included some reconstruction of walls, updating of bathrooms and plumbing fixtures, replacement of lighting and floor coverings, and complete refurnishing.
The project was planned and carried out in a highly organized manner that met both the schedule and budget goals. Pamela and her team were a pleasure to work with over the entire project. They were responsive and always willing to modify goals to accommodate new requests as the project evolved and took shape. The most important metric is, of course, how the project turned out. On that score it was a complete success and we are very happy with the outcome. We would not hesitate to engage Pamela and Hughes Design for a future project.

We retained Pamela Hughes of Hughes Design Associates for the complete rebuild of our main apartment in the Ritz Beach Residence in Florida and for an updating of our Greenwich CT home and two other apartments.
Her work is outstanding. Pamela's style is tasteful and elegant. She and her team are highly organized, very responsive and efficient.
We have never had a dispute, financial or otherwise. Her architectural background gives Pamela a highly developed sense of proportion which is a significant addition to her skill set.
We enjoy living in the elegance and ambience that she has created for us and would, without a doubt, retain her again.

We have used Hughes Design Associates for six residential projects in five different states over 23 years, and each project has turned out beautifully. Our first home was completed in 1993/4 and our last project will be completed in 2016. Our projects have included contemporary, traditional, western and beach styles, and Pamela has exceeded our expectations each time.
Pamela and her team provide an excellent product with integrity and grace. They listened to our desires for each project, were diligent to make sure that our goals were met, and delivered on a timely basis. Hughes Design Associates has also responded to any follow up needs once a project is completed. We highly recommend Hughes Design Associates!

We moved to Sarasota when we retired in 2012 and started completely over with our furnishings and décor, moving from very traditional and jewel-tone colors to a transitional style with pale colors in our furniture fabrics. We arrived with most of the new furnishings but needed someone to help us complete our new condo with all the finishing touches. Even though we were not a great big new job, Pamela was willing to work with us to create the perfect effect. She had new rugs and window treatments designed for us, and helped us find the perfect accent pieces to complete our look. She also helped us make decisions about other accessories and art that we selected. We also found her invoice process very transparent so that you know exactly what you are paying for. Now that we are moving to a new condo, we look forward to using her creativity and advice again!

After meeting Pamela while working together on a spectacular waterfront home in Sarasota in 2008 it felt as though it were a natural progression to continue to work with Hughes Design Associates on a substantial number of very special homes ranging from Aspen Colorado to Miami Florida and, it seems, nearly everywhere in between. As an architect I truly appreciate Pamela's ability to interpret the intention of a space and bring it to life. Pamela's exquisite taste and exceptional talent are beyond reproach and she is well known and highly regarded throughout the design community both locally and abroad. I very much look forward to continuing to work with Pamela and the very talented staff at Hughes Design Associates for many years to come.

We have been providing freight management, warehousing & installation services for Hughes Design Associates for over twenty years. Their projects have stretched us across the country and into the Caribbean, from coastal five star resorts to magnificent homes high in the exclusive ski towns of Colorado to ultra cool urban high rise condos in major cities. We have literally handled tens of millions of dollars in furnishings & art work value for HDA. Pamela Hughes' sophisticated interiors constantly challenge us to be nothing less than "on our game." They are as demanding today as they were twenty years ago. If they weren't, their work would be ordinary. It is anything but.

As the owner of an ASD, a Francois and Co Company, I have had the privilege to work with many talented Interior designers and Pamela Hughes is one of the best in her field.
We worked on a wonderful project together in Wellington, Florida in which she specified our handmade Pewter Countertops and a Custom Toscany Shelf Range Hood with a Provence Stack. The material is very unique and Pamela’s knowledge of luxury materials allowed her to maximize the design potential of this product. Her client was thrilled with the results and that is our collaborative goal!

I have worked with Pamela Hughes for over 25 years, and she remains one of the most talented and professional designers with whom I have ever dealt.
As the owner of a carpet and rug trade showroom, I have seen not only her artistic balance of color, pattern, and texture, but also her focus on function. Pamela understands that quality and construction are an intregal part of beauty and aesthetics. Furthermore, she understands the business of design, and her professional staff is proactive in tracking orders and seeing a project deliver on time.
Over the years I have had the pleasure of working closely with Pamela on traditional and contemporary projects and seeing her hard work come together in beautiful installations.
Suffice it to say, she is a designer I would highly recommend to any friend.

Le Jeune Upholstery and Manufacturing, a 45 year family business to the trade, has had the pleasure of working with Pamela Hughes, and Hughes Design Associates, on numerous projects throughout the last 5 years. Pamela has a knack for detail, and a God given ability to interpret her client’s needs and wants. Her level of professionalism does not end there. She, and the Hughes Design staff have a great ability to work with, and direct their vendors as well. They lead, but listen at the same time which undoubtedly comes with such grace.
It has been a true blessing to be a part of such great projects and moreover, a part of such a wonderful person and team.
