Studio Edo

I worked with Eduardo to update my family room. To my surprise, he did not suggest starting from scratch but recommended working with most of my existing furniture and changing the look with new upholstery and buying a few new pieces. He provided a detailed budget at the beginning which did not change. He handled every detail with professionalism and completed the project earlier than anticipated. Eduardo listens and responds immediately. His exquisite taste came through in the finished product.

Eduardo Ardiles is an excellent interior designer. He has refined and elegant taste and gives complete and utmost attention, time and concern to all details of the project -- beginning to end. I would very highly recommend Eduardo to anyone who is interested in hiring the very best of the best.

We live in a 150 year old home where my family of four plus two dogs have resided for the past ten years. Needless to say that over the decade, our family grew in size and our lifestyles changed, as did our needs and style preference. We were seeking a facelift to turn our home design from distressed shabby chic to contemporary casual. Eduardo worked with us on every aspect from color pallet, draperies furniture, rugs, lighting, art and installation. Slowly over the past year, we transformed our home into a space that is not only functional, but stylish. We started designing the bedrooms first and then moved to our entryway, living room and den. Eduardo has impeccable taste but is thoughtful about bringing his designs to life for a busy household. We needed beauty and function, and thankfully achieved both! Working with Eduardo is a joy. He is the consummate professional but is approachable and personable. I hadn't worked with a designer prior and had some preconceived notions entering into the arrangement that were quickly dispelled. Eduardo couldn't have been more collaborative and respectful of our needs and budget! He even recycled some of our existing furniture with new upholstering, slip covers and some furniture painting. His approach is very methodical yet he makes the process fun and stress free. From frumpy to fabulous, we are left with a home that we love to LIVE in. Next up, Eduardo is styling our dining room and back door entrance. I know that we will love the finished product as do I love working with Eduardo on all of my design needs. He's a gem!

We first worked with Eduardo in 2008 when we bought our home in Philadelphia. Prior to moving in, we wanted to give the house a facelift. We refinished all floors, installed new lighting, painted or wallpapered every wall, changed hardware and doors and of course selected new furniture, rugs and other textiles. After living in the UK for several years we wanted our new home to reflect the influences of European style that we grew to appreciate. We always admired Eduardo's work, his attention to detail and of course his incredible style! Eduardo walked us through every decision providing great advice and most importantly a sense of flow and balance. He brought to us beautiful options for furniture, fabrics, wallpaper and a color palette that complemented our artwork. He asked great questions and provided sound advice. Prior to starting his interior design business, he designed and built exquisite furniture in Argentina, he worked for one of the top interior design firms in London, and he ran a successful textile business curating a collection of fabrics and blankets manufactured in Argentina. These experiences have shaped his design philosophy and the result is always unique and chic. We feel very lucky to work with him! In 2014 we decided to renovate our third floor to create a suite for our two daughters. Eduardo involved our girls in the design process. He came up with a cool design concept that incorporated both girls' preferences. He also figured out the challenge of adding plenty of closet space for two pre-teen girls. It was creative and smart. The most important part is that the design is not "faddy" - the palette and furniture selected provide a great base to add to or make small changes to over the years as they grow. And now we are embarking on our most ambitious project - adding a new kitchen, master bathroom and office. This addition will completely change the footprint of our home. The current kitchen is being transformed into a dining room and the new floor plan is much more open. It is a great opportunity to rethink how our family "lives" in this house. At this point in the project, Eduardo has helped us think about flow and symmetry. With his architecture background, experiences, and his understanding of how people live in and consume space, he has brought fantastic design ideas to the table. We are working on a color scheme that effectively flows from room to room without repetition. The space is going to be dynamic but not too distracting. There are so many decisions to make and with Eduardo's guidance we are confident that our hopes for this project will be exceeded! On a personal level, it is great fun to work with Eduardo! His passion for design is infectious!
