Recently we worked with Dana on the design of our leasing office lobby and construction management staff offices, located in Morristown New Jersey. As a residential apartment building and construction management firm, our goal was to create a space that could represent a modern and inviting atmosphere, a concept that could pass along our identity to our residents, clients and partners. Dana took her time to listen to our ideas and work on the creation of this concept. Extremely hands on, she helped us selecting the right artifacts, textures and tones to create the best atmosphere. Her prices were reasonable and she is very passionate about her work. It was a pleasure to work with Dana. The office looks beautiful, we are constantly receiving compliments on how great the place looks. Thank you, Dana! We will work with you again!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Dana! I moved office space and with limited time I put decorating my office on the back burner. Working in the health field as a holistic nutritionist it was important to me that my clients come to a space that is relaxing and calm. Dana listened to my needs and nailed it. She suggested the perfect amount of options from pictures to shelving for storage that was appropriate to my taste, but functional. She is precise, passionate and deeply cares about her work. I highly recommend Plume Interiors for your home and office needs.

This past Christmas season (2018) was certainly the most exciting time of the year for me. Not only do I absolutely LOVE this holiday season, but it was also the season of my WEDDING!! My husband and I were married on 12.15.18, and we had an absolutely beautiful wedding. My husband and I both decided to take our "getting ready" photos at our respective houses that we both grew up in - we thought it would be something sentimental to share with our friends and family the morning of our wedding. With that being said, I wanted to make sure that our house looked absolutely PERFECT for our wedding day pictures. With all the wedding planning and soon-to-be Bride anxieties going on, I knew this was not a task that I would be able to take on myself - I know I needed help. This is where Dana Hunkele from Plume Interiors entered into my life ... and MY GOSH, am I ever so thankful for her! I remember our first meeting. Dana came to our home, and was incredibly warm and delightful to get to know. It was as if we had been girlfriends for years! She was so easy to talk to, and displayed detailed attention to all of my winter design ideas. She took her time getting to know me, my personality style, my design style, and my home. She reviewed patiently with me all of the photos I had printed out that I had tagged from Pinterest to highlight the look I wanted to create. After our first meeting, Dana was on a mission, and a quick one at that (wedding planning was hectic as ever - and we only had one week to complete this project!), to go out and search for material and content to make my winter wedding dreams come true. Each day, Dana would check in with me about what she had found and if it suited my creative ideas. Let me tell you, I had a vision in my head of what I wanted the morning of my dream winter wedding to look like. However, what Dana created in just one short week completely blew my ideas straight out of the water! Her creative style, precision, time, effort, and energy came to life as I saw my house completely decorated from HEAD-TO-TOE in white/gold/silver WINTER GLAM! It was SO much more than what I had expected, it was total PERFECTION! All thanks to Dana, I had the winter glam decorations of my dream, and my wedding photos were absolutely STUNNING with Dana's design all around them. I am so thankful to and for Dana for being interested and listening to my ideas and fully bringing them to life! All of this happened, by the way, in ONE WEEK, ON A BUDGET! Can you believe that? I was not only more than pleased with her work, but she was also able to stay within my price range - which does WONDERS for the anxious Bride. I would recommend Dana Hunkele from Plume Interiors time and time again. You will NOT be disappointed!

Plume Interiors was hired to update the lobby and four floors of our condominium building. Our designer Dana worked with us to figure out what style we wanted to design the hallways and lobby. We expressed to Dana our interests and she created an amazing design! We were all very impressed with her design board she brought to the meetings in order to visualize potential outcome. We felt that dana provided many options and was able to work very well with us to accommodate our budget in addition to creating a design that would really work for our building. The design is beautiful and functional and we are so very pleased. Dana communicated effectively with us as well as all of the vendors. Dana also custom built a few pieces for our lobby! Very impressive! We were nothing but pleased to work with her and would recommend her to anyone seeking stylish design services.

Highly recommend! Dana helped me put the finishing touches on my condo interior design. I get so many compliments and tell everyone to hire her.

I can not sing Dana’s praises high enough!!!! She is the best stager ever! She is so creative and brings her visions to life amazingly! We had a total blank canvas to work with to sell a property and she designed it with ease and grace in record time! She is SO easy to work with, accommodating, paid attention, asked the right questions, helped sell property in quick amount of time, collaborative, and not to mention has the BEST taste EVER! I can not wait to work with her over and over again! She is so organized and efficient and made the whole process easy as can be! No need to ever look for anyone ever again! Simply the best!!!!!

Our journey with plume interiors started with the sale of our 5 bedroom home in NJ. We, of course, did all the cleaning out of the attic, garage, basement, as needed. We felt good but knew the interior had to "shine" so we had Dana over to help us choose new interior paint colors, stage and declutter! She carefully explained the importance of buyers seeing the space as their own.... hence the overwhelming pictures of our beautiful children, grandchildren were temporarily boxed! After 2 days of rearranging, storing and using what we had plus some amazing add-in's from Dana, the house was ready for market. Our home of 20 years was elegantly simple but warm and inviting. Pretty much no detail was left undone. We were into September when we listed the house and by early December we had a great offer from a wonderful family that would bring new life to our home... we were happy with the whole process. But, our story with plume interiors doesn't end there. We had been searching for over 2 years for our perfect home in Florida and finally closed on it in March 2017. We again called Dana and started the work on the designing and decorating our new home. We brought very little with us so it was an exciting new adventure. The journey started via phone, numerous pictures going back and forth and selecting the perfect paint colors to start the project. Dana is tireless and I swear her mind never shuts off. She has a unique sense of color, great attention to detail and most important, the ability to work within any budget you give her. She carefully listens to your likes and dislikes, gently pushes you to see things in a new light and to try something new.... the end result being simply beautiful. She flew down after most of our new furniture arrived and we spent the next couple days shopping, auditioning our purchases and arranging/rearranging to near perfection before she left! We would highly recommend Dana to help with any or all of your decorating needs. You will be pleasantly surprised to see what you really do like when you let her open your eyes and mind to a little change. Her enthusiasm and love of what she does in infectious. Just when you think she is done she will jump up and move something, again.... even if it's only a couple of inches in a different direction. We loved working with her!!

I had already known Dana Hunkele for a number of years when she told me she was leaving her corporate career in retail and starting plume interiors. This made a lot of sense to me because while I had always known how creative she was and how deep her passion for interiors was; it wasn't until my husband and I nearly lost our full time residence during Superstorm Sandy that I knew just how committed to her "side job" she was. Dana was instrumental in helping us put the pieces back together. Our home was uninhabitable following the hurricane. We were displaced and living nowhere near the house...neither was Dana. I knew Dana to be honest and trustworthy and when she offered her help; we took it. During the long and arduous time for us, she demonstrated her level of patience, professionalism, and empathy. She had no issue taking the 1.5 hour drive to check on the progress when necessary even though this was again at this time "her side job". She chose all the colors and furnishings for the house, making sure that everything flowed well and still worked within the budget allotted. If she found something we all loved that didn't work within the budget, she went out and tirelessly searched for something to replicate the item. She helped us figure out what was salvageable both literally from the storm and figuratively related to the new design of the house. She educated us on what to spend the most funds on and where we could "cheat" a little without anyone ever knowing. She gently pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me see the vision I did not even know I had for the way i wanted my house to be. She never pushed me in any direction that seemed too far but made me realize how my taste had evolved over the years. We now have the house we had always dreamed of deep inside. Still, after all of this time, we walk into the house and think "WOW". Without Dana's expertise and vision, this would not have happened. For this, we thank you Dana.

My house although filled with character, was severely outdated. The previous owners picked quite a strange combination of colors, which my family had lived with for a few years. The task seemed too daunting to tackle alone, so I asked for some help. Dana immediately put me at ease, helping discover the potential of the house while keeping our aesthetic in mind the entire time. My husband and I have several hobbies and interests which Dana found clever ways to work into the design. She helped us bring a beautiful vision to an incredible reality. The biggest improvement was a complete renovation of my son's room. It was the only room in the house that had old fashioned (very yucky) wooden paneling and ceiling tiles that were uneven. The room overall just had a gloomy and drab feel. Dana coordinated the entire renovation from tearing down the walls, to choosing all the light, bright and fun accessories to finish the room. She found out all his likes/dislikes and allowed him to feel involved even though he's only five years old. That was really special to me, to know that he had a voice. Now my son is so proud of his personal space and is happy spending time in there. The entire process of making our home flow from room to room, with colors and furniture that make sense together has been one I'm so thankful for. It feels like a warm, bright friendly home that you feel comfortable in. Dana made it fun, even in times of stress with all the painters tape, dust and chaos. She always made me feel like the light at the end of the tunnel would be worth the trek, which it most definitely was. I don't think I could have dreamed our home could look as beautiful as it does now. It makes me so glad I chose to hire a professional that is as talented as Dana. I look forward to more projects with her in the future because her creativity, professionalism and expertise are all absolutely invaluable.
