Pure and Simple Interiors

Susan did a great job helping us edit out some knick knacks and add a more modern look with new side tables, lamps, and curtains. We went from 1990s drab to 2020 modern and bright. She was happy to use our beautiful furniture, but rearranged and modernized. She added a great art wall.

After a divorce late in life, I moved into a house only to realize that I had no skills whatsoever at decorating. I was nervous and suspicious about involving anyone else, but it just wasn't getting done. Susan surveyed my situation; some rooms livable and others more nearly resembling a landfill. She took stock of what I had and got me to decide what elements were essential and which were incidental. As the house began to take shape she moved on to the basement and we even got that squared away. For the first time in my life I know what I have and where to find it. The house is beautiful, a reflection of who I am. The basement is functional and the cost was way less than I feared. I'd recommend her to anyone.

Susan is great to work with. She came to my house to help me decide what to use and where and how to use it. We spent several hours moving furniture and art work, and talking about my items. She had recommendations for colors and other accessories. It was a small project but it made a great big difference in the look of my home. She can see your "old stuff" in a new way and help you achieve a better look. Thanks Susan!

I moved into a new home in August and needed help with where to place furniture, artwork and accessories. Susan presented ideas I would never have thought of. I am so pleased with the way it turned out. I have received many compliments from friends and family! I will call Susan again in the future for further interior design help. She is excellent!

Susan was just the designer I needed after moving from out-of-state. Her sense of design, pattern, color, placement are all spot on. I found her special talent to be working with what you have and integrating new pieces, be it furniture, rugs, etc., in ways that never seem "designed." For me, she created personal spaces that are comfortable and aesthetically cool (can't think of a better way to say it). . She listens closely and brings professionalism to all she does. The name of her company name says it all.

I highly recommend Susan with Pure and Simple Interiors! I chose her company for our project for two reasons - she specializes in helping you use what you have, and her fee structure allows you to pay as you go. We had moved to a new home that was very different from our previous home. We did not want a total re-do but were at a loss as to how to arrange furniture and decorate. In our first session with Susan, she spent some time getting to know us, our lifestyle, and our tastes. After touring the house and taking a mental inventory of the furniture and decorative items we already had, she quickly had suggestions for using our current furniture and some special items/collections. Her keen eye for design resulted in a home that started to feel like OUR home! After a couple more sessions, our home really took shape, and now feels comfortable, pulled together, and reflects our tastes. We are very satisfied with her work and plan to call on her services again.

My experience with Pure and Simple Interiors has been a pleasure. Susan Markowitz has an "excellent eye" to determine a sense of space and color. Under Susan's guidance, I was able to rearrange many of the items in my home resulting in a much more more attractive and appealing environment. She helped me pick out flooring and a marble counter that I am so pleased about. Since I have added the touches and items Susan suggested, everyone who enters my home comments on "How lovely it is!" I have only positive things to say.

I asked Pure and Simple to help me redo my living room using mostly furniture and art that I had. Susan’s approach was simple and elegant. She rearranged furniture, suggested what rug to use and used many of my objects (folk art, carvings and vases that I had stored away) to create a beautiful and peaceful room. Exactly what I wanted! Susan was easy to work with, focused and entirely professional. Her ideas, especially about color and using space, were terrific.

Susan did a wonderful job for me! I had a very small budget and needed help with paint color choices and working with existing furniture and three new upholstered pieces in the living room. After she helped me choose the paint colors for the entire house, she then came back and helped me work with what I had to make my house lovely! She used her expert eye to help me hang my artwork, re-arrange furniture, and make what I had work in new ways. I like that Susan makes using a professional designer a possibility for folks who don't have huge budgets. She was also just a pleasure to work with! Fun, flexible, energetic and full of creative ideas! I highly recommend Susan!

Susan Markovitz had wonderful suggestions to update my traditional home in Birmingham, Ala. Susan was able to see my house with new eyes, offer professional advice in a helpful way, and show me how to change a few things to make a big difference. I especially appreciated her advice on paint colors, fabric choices, and furniture placement. We spend so much time in our homes -- it's worth creating an environment that makes us happy. Susan can help you create a home that sparks joy.

Susan is a delight to work with. She has a great sense of style and understands how to create a great look on a tight budget. I highly recommend her for your project.

Susan helped me work on updating an atomic ranch in Asheville, and I've been fabulously pleased with our working relationship, the choices she's suggested, and her continual support in the process. My budget has been modest, but the results have been rich!
