Pat Olsen

We worked with Stephen to design our family/living space in our new home. We love the design and the color scheme he recommended! We even took his suggestion for a new ceiling fan and the placement of furniture in other rooms. We really appreciated that he shared his ideas for spaces where we were using our existing furniture - there was nothing in it for him but he was happy to help us! He has a great eye for color and design! We will certainly seek him out whenever we need anything new!

I was a particular joy working with Stephen because of his open willingness to accept input from us. He truly enjoys his work and is his additions to our condo decor have received rave reviews by all our friends who have seen the place since Stephen worked with us. He brings multiple ideas to each phase of a project and is ALWAYS willing to step back and redouble his efforts if he feels he’s going in a different direction than the customer wants.

We could not have been more pleased with Stephen. He is a consummate professional, knows interior design, knows the products sold by Indian River Furnature, is steeped with integrity and is simply fun to work with. With his advice, we were able to refurnish our master bedroom into a piece of art. Stephen get a score of 11 on a scale of 1-10. He is THE BEST.

Stephen is a truly talented professional who was able to capture our vision and make it a reality. He selected great options, for each one of our rooms, that created a seamless contemporary flow throughout our new oceanfront condo. He loves what he does and it shows in every aspect of his work. I highly recommend him.

My wife and I have worked with Stephen for a number of years now. We have always enjoyed our interaction with him and the results have exceeded our expectations. More then a couple of times we have called on Stephen to help us make decisions on all things decorating, wall color , rugs, pillows, and such. We wish we had a Stephen to help with our financials "discussions"

Stephen was so helpful and patient with us while we designed our new home! Even on multiple visits with our three kiddos he was able to guide us towards what we were looking for and decide on the best products for our household needs. Our home came out beautiful and functional! We love Stephen and highly recommend his designs and advice!!

Stephen did a fantastic job, well surpassing our expectations. He has helped us turn our home into our dream. We would highly recommend Indian River Furniture for purchases and Stephen Downen as a design consultant. Dr B.C. Shubert

Stephen has been fantastic in helping us pick out new furniture, including the floor plan at our home. Couldn't be more pleased with his service!

From start to finish, Stephen was beyond helpful. His suggestions and gentle nudging resulted in a home we never could have put together on our own. AND -it came in under budget!! There are not enough positive words to explain Stephen's attention to detail and personal touch. Not only do we have a fabulously decorated (and comfortable), this experience was also a great welcome to our new home in Melbourne, FL.

Stephen is one of the best designers I have worked with! It did not matter that I had a small budget. Stephen treated me like I was going to spend $100,000! That made all the difference. He has excellent taste and I plan on working with him again in late summer to continue to update my home. I have recommended him to friends and they are just as satisfied!

Stephen Downden and Cheryl Poye from Indian River Furniture were invaluable in providing recommendations for furniture, accessories and rugs for our new beach front condo. Much of the work was done via email, with a couple of trips to the beautiful Indian River Furniture store - we couldn't be happier with the results, and everyone that has seen it are blown away with our beautiful condo - couldn't have done it without Stephen's help! I highly recommend I R Furniture and both Stephen and Cheryl
