Josi Morales Designs

Josi was a pleasure to work with. Not only did she make my dreams come true she gave me much more than I could have ever imagined. She worked with me, understood my needs for my new space as well as the design theme I had in mind and all within my set budget. She was involved each step of the way and handled anything and everything that came up during the project, which made the stress of moving into a new city and new place, a breeze! I am grateful for the work she has done and the space she created for me, this is a special place I have to come home to each day and i'm so glad she took the time to make it so beautiful and functional!

While in the process of building a new home it became clear that a designer would be a tremendous asset to the project. A friend had recommended Josi Morales and it was truly a recommendation filled with blessing. Josi’s spot on eye for color and design turned my home into a work of art. While each room can stand on its own with its unique personality, there is nonetheless a seemless thread that ties each room together creating a beautiful and well orchestrated design that is grounded in traditional furnishings with an updated contemporary twist such as a vintage burgere chair upholstered in a more modern fabric. I had torn out pictures from magazines of homes, rooms, furniture and lighting that I liked. I handed the stack to Josi and she immediately understood my style and the home I was hoping to create. With her help and friendship, she gave me that home.

Josi is fun to work with and has a great sense of style. She made our family room look larger and brighter and was able to use existing pieces in the project.

Josi Morales is inventive, enthusiastic and she really knows her stuff. Josi is not the kind of design professional who looks down upon the items you wish to keep, she somehow breathes new life into furniture pieces most designers of her caliber would discard -- she is very respectful in that way -- she listens. Josi is organized and provides a full design service from floor plans, paint, fabric and furniture selection, to the actual installation. I am always surprised by Josi, she can do anything, but design is her passion. She takes on each project as if it were her first love. I am lucky to have worked with her.

Working with Ms. Josi Morales was truly a rewarding experience. Aside from actually purchasing my home, investing in her talents was one of the best decisions I made. From the moment of contact, Josi was professional, excited and focused on the end goal; making my home more cozy, chic and less monochromatic. Her resume of work was impressive and since I do not have an eye for color, art or flare, I trusted her wealth of experience. My only request was that I wanted color infused in my living space. We spoke extensively about how certain colors make me feel, my likes and dislikes and within 5 weeks, my black and white beach condo was transformed into a cozy, colorful oasis. Josi was able to work within my small budget and utilize many of the pieces that already existed within my home. Her eye for just mere rearrangement made a world of difference. My apartment literally takes people’s breath away when they walk in. Just recently, I listed my place on the market and I was able to increase my asking price as real estate experts recognized the luxurious details that would solicit buyers. I’m excited to work with Josi on my next home and I honestly, couldn’t imagine moving into a new place without dedicating some of my budget to Josi Morales.

We have been through countless interior decorators and until we met Josie we were ready to write off the entire profession. Josi not only re-invigorated our house she did so in ways that displayed her talents as someone who is inventive and resourceful. A number of our favorite items were found in cut rate stores, flea markets or backyard sales. She knew where to be frugal and where an expensive touch was needed. Four years later our home still gets countless praise for Josi's fantastic flair.

I worked with Josi about 7 years ago while renovating my home. She was involved with all aspects of the design and decorating. She was a pleasure to work with and was respectful and considerate of my needs. She understood my budget and had wonderful, creative ideas to work within the budget. I just hired Josi again within the past 6 months to decorate some rooms in my house. It has been a pleasure again working with her.

Josi Morales is in the midst of helping us make a seamless move from one house to another. She is reshowcasing our furniture in various rooms, recovering some and making everything look fresh, new and beautiful! Josi has redesigned some portions of what was an already beautiful house to bring it more up to date and make it shine. She has an amazing eye for color and we can't wait to start painting. I have known Josi for 15 years and she has helped me and my family with many projects, big and small. Her attitude is always upbeat and her motto is "we'll make it work"!

Josi is a true professional with amazing talent. I have utilized Josi to turn my lackluster decor into a home with style. She has incorporated my existing furniture while adding more stylish accents and pieces to bring my home to a new level. She will always work with in budget and truly wants her clients to be thrilled with the end result. It is easy to see that design is her true passion in life.

Ms. Morales' talent for interior design was certainly put to the test when she agreed to refurbish my Vermont apartment. Constrained by a very limited budget, Ms. Morales' use and installation of fairly commonplace furnishings, accessories and prints, together with an array of perfectly coordinated colors, created a decor that converted a drab and dreary apartment into a warm, cozy and inviting country place. Ms. Morales' design talents encompass the singular ability to implement and realize very sophisticated "high end" interior design concepts, by use of very practical methodologies, to create an interior living space completely and perfectly tailored to the client's tastes, needs and budget concerns.

It is rare that you find a designer who can balance great taste, unconditional patience and the ability to manage complex projects. Josi is that designer.

Josi is an incredibly talented designer. I've had the privilege to work with her on many occasions as her photographer. She has such a sense of design, color and space and it shows through the images of her projects. Teresa Kruszewski, 51art. 212.585.4499
