Perianth Interior Design

For over four years, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Hilary on various interior design projects. Throughout this time, she has been an invaluable asset to me. Hilary's expertise and creativity have consistently brought my visions to life with a finesse that only a seasoned professional could offer. Her ability to provide sound advice, constructive feedback, and innovative solutions is unparalleled. Whether it's a minor design tweak or a major construction undertaking, Hilary approaches each task with a meticulous eye and a commitment to excellence. What truly sets Hilary apart is her reliability and ease of communication. Knowing that I can depend on her has provided me with immense peace of mind. She handles every interaction with grace and professionalism, making the entire design process a seamless and enjoyable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Hilary to anyone seeking a dedicated and skilled interior designer. Her work speaks for itself, but it's her consistent dependability and the ease of working with her that make her stand out in the industry.

We have worked with Hilary Unger from Perianth Design on 3 large home projects now: Master Bath, Den & Living Room. Hilary is a pleasure to work with. Aside from being a lovely person who has now become what my husband and I consider a friend, she has a wonderful eye and ideas and suggestions I would never have come up with on my own. She is considerate of your budget restrictions and upfront and honest about where it might make sense to reconsider them. She tries very hard to satisfy your desires while making sure you understand when and where she might deviate with them. But ultimately it is your decision and I never felt pressured into anything. More often than not her recommendations won out and she was right in every case. Hilary has professional and courteous construction and design partners whom she brings in from time to time or recommends you visit on your own. Every one of them has been masters in their trade. You need to look no further for a design consultant whether your project is huge or small. You can reach out on any issue you might be considering and she is happy to help and give her advice, even if outside the project you are currently working on. We happily recommend Hilary Unger.

I reached out to Buy My Eye because I was hesitant to hire a decorator and I found the proposition of a one time consultation, with no further obligation, very appealing. I also found the idea of starting with what I already have and focusing on filling it out and completing my home decor, rather than starting from scratch, even more appealing. I was not disappointed. After a really pleasant and productive discussion, we sorted a few ideas out - and then I decided to proceed with a more extensive project, through Perianth, including some minor construction work. Perianth did an excellent job of identifying contractors and service providers, working with people I wanted to work with, and coordinating and monitoring it all. We were on (perhaps under) budget, my home looks like *my* home (not someone else’s style), but so much better than I could ever have done myself. The process was a pleasure, and the results are beyond what I hoped for. I recommend Perianth/Buy My Eye unreservedly.

She helped me design and renovate my study and did a fabulous job! She helped with furniture, paint, blinds, lighting and carpeting and also kept my budget in mind.

I enlisted Hillary on a project to refresh my living room and dining area. She provided just what I needed which is a roadmap on how to proceed on my own and full access to her consultation. I have to say that Hillary is very efficient with her time. In a few hours, she outlined which pieces would work in the new layout and then provided furniture specifications and sources for a new sofa, rug, coffee table, lighting and dining table. I’m excited to get started on the refresh and feel more confident with Hillary as my guide.

We have worked with Hilary in 2015 and recently in 2018. Her work is consistently outstanding. Hilary is very flexible to work with and spends time understanding her client's requirements. Her eye for detail, judgement around dimensions and ability to create alternative ideas in a short time frame make her a great professional to work with. When we moved into our new apartment, Hilary's ideas helped us create great design layouts, choose contractors and then implement her ideas. We recently also consulted in her in a planned kids bedroom renovation. We look forward to continuing to work with her.

I had a truly wonderful experience using Perianth's Hilary Unger as my designer. I started knowing I wanted my living room to be furnished and designed around a beautiful silk carpet I bought in India, and Hilary helped me to create a magnificent room, mixing and matching patterns and colors to the pallette of the carpet. Walls were painted different colors , with an accent wall framing my garden window, and built in cabinets, two couches and two chairs were created to complete the room. I still get gasps when people see it. Also working with Hilary was EXTREMELY easy and she accomodated herself to my very busy schedule. I Can't recommend her enough.

Hilary Unger really listens to you. She dent have a set look like some designers, but finds out what a clients life looks like and provides a perfect space as a backdrop.

Hillary Unger picked out colors and aesthetic design for a large project . She was able to work with a team in making decisions that would satisfy everyone’s taste.

Hillary knows so much and is so able to share it in a way that makes perfect sense to you, that you'll achieve not only a beautiful room but also the security of knowing that it is in perfect taste. Even if, like me, you're not sure you have any! Hillary herself is so warm and wonderful that depending on your age and gender, who might want to adopt her, or marry her!

Listens to needs and design preferences, colors, price. . And at the same brings forward a design whether it be furniture, fabric, custom work that will enhance the space and totally satisfy the customer. Project included furniture fabric, a rug, wallpaper, lighting, a kitchen renovation

I have used Hilary Unger's "Buy My Eye" consultancy service in 2008 (converting a closet to a study and shelves in the kitchen and bedroom) and 2018 (shading design in bedroom, living room, and kitchen as well as the floor design for the kitchen based on the new shading). She is very efficient in a limited time. In both occasions, she produced great designs that are based on my initial ideas but making it work functionally. She is also capable of creating a consensus design between a couple, who may not have agreed on the design prior to her engagement. Her fees more than doubled in 10 years (At 7% increase per year, fees will double in 10 years). Given her excellent work, I can understand this increase beyond the inflation rate. Perhaps, I got an amazing deal in 2008. I will recommend her for a one-bedroom apartment or other smaller apartments. If her fees remain with the inflation rate from now on, I think her consultancy service fee is reasonable. Her work is excellent
