The Red Shutters - Marina Case

Did a new house decorating project with Red Shutters and really enjoyed working with Marina and Janine. They are smart, responsive, creative and were able to take my very basic ideas about what I wanted and turn them into a full-fledged plan of action for all the rooms of the house. Marina was able to look at my existing furnishings and work with me to decide what to keep, what to replace, and what needed to be purchased new (which turned out to be a lot). They are also great at the back end of things - keeping track of the budget, furniture delivery and shade installation dates, coordinating calendars, coordinating with the builder, etc, which I consider to be equally important. Our place is a second home in the Hudson Valley (we are not there full time), and having the team available in-person to supervise installs or to pop by to take a quick measurements was hugely helpful. Would definitely use them again, and we are continuing to work together in 2025.

Marina & Her team did such an excellent job creating a vision and bringing it to life with our 4500 sq. foot home. Her style and technique were everything we were looking for, and her expertise guided us into the direction as to what would work for our home and what would not. Marina and her team were very easy to work with, super friendly, and customer centric. If ever an issue occurred, Marina would do everything possible to make it right and go above and beyond our expectations. She truly provides a white glove service that most designers do not, and my husband and I could not be more thankful for the masterpiece she created. We look forward to continuing our relationship with her and the team as we grow in our home and continue to evolve it.

We started working with Marina/Red Shutters because we were moving into our first house and wanted a totally clean slate. This was the first time we had ever dealt with a designer. Marina held our hand through the initial steps as we started to figure out our style and budget and made us feel very comfortable. Marina was able to let us set the overall design tone but then provide us with sets of options to make everything feel less overwhelming. As we have gotten more comfortable with our own tastes we've been able to work flexibly and seamlessly within her overall designs. I think the best part of the work Marina has done is that even though we started from scratch and we are working in phases toward a long-term design vision, the incremental stages along the way don't feel unfinished at all. She has been able to create extremely livable designs and environments in our home that feel refined and finished even though we know there are going to be future steps we can take to build on the work we've started. In other words, don't be afraid to just start and take things in steps because the work will look great as you go. On top of all that, Marina and her team are extremely friendly and approachable, always available and communicative, and very professional. We're very excited to keep working with Marina and would recommend her to anyone.

Marina and her team @ The Red Shutters have been amazing to work with. We recently moved into a historic home In Warwick NY and they’ve helped us transform it into a comfortable and beautiful family home. I couldn’t be happier with the process and the guidance provided during the design process.

Following a recent renovation, Marina's expertise proved invaluable in converting a cold and impersonal space into a warm and inviting second home. Right from our initial consultation, Marina made the entire process easy and enjoyable. Her friendly demeanor and clear communication put me at ease from the start. Understanding our needs quickly, Marina gracefully navigated me through the design journey. Marina and her team meticulously orchestrated every detail, from the careful selection and procurement of furnishings and fabric to the installation of window treatments and arrangement of furniture, rugs, lighting, and an array of art, ensuring a truly curated space. Despite occasional hurdles like fabric unavailability, Marina's resourcefulness always prevailed, offering alternatives that worked out well. While I'm sure there was considerable effort behind the scenes, everything felt seamless. Marina skillfully blended style, color, and functionality, elevating our space and infusing it with a welcoming and warm ambiance. Our family extends our heartfelt thanks to you and your team. We anticipate enjoying it for years to come!

We have known Marina for many years and always admired her work. When we purchased our new home recently, it was not even up for debate who to ask for help with interior design. A consummate professional, Marina has an impeccable taste and many years of experience executing topnotch home design projects. She has a rare skill for beautifully blending sophistication of "the old" with simplicity and elegance of "the new" - which was exactly the style we were looking for. It has been a true pleasure working with Marina this year. She is very attentive, thoughtful, responsive and truly cares for what she does. All of her vendors are top quality and easy to work with, and Marina is always there to oversee their work. While focusing on quality and final product, Marina is also mindful of our budget - she always seeks to get several bids to optimize the price, while not sacrificing quality. We would not hesitate to recommend Marina's services to anybody who is looking for quality design work.

Marina and her team were fantastic. We bought a house with an interior straight out of the late 1980s, and it needed a complete remodel. Marina did an excellent job helping us choose the furniture, layouts, paint, tiles, wallpaper, and so on. She is warm and friendly and always available with good communication. And more than that, she used her network of connections to find us top-quality contractors to do the remodel and installations. You often hear horror stories of sloppy contractors out there. No so with Red Shutters. Every single person they recommended was, in my opinion, 5 stars—including for general remodeling, carpentry, plumbing, curtains, carpets, wallpaper, furniture delivery, and more. Anything we needed done, they simply handled. We wanted our new home to be done right, and it looks amazing thanks to Marina and The Red Shutters.

I contacted The Red Shutters in 2022 after purchasing a small townhouse that lacked character. Marina and her team got to work quickly, presenting me with options to help maximize my space and make it a home. They truly listened to my ideas and took them from basic to beautiful. Marina even acted as a therapist when things often became too overwhelming for me. Her calm demeanor and conviction reassured me that we were making the right choices. The compliments I received from friends and family prove that working with The Red Shutters was a great decision!

To put it simply, Marina is amazing and we are so very fortunate to have found her. Upon purchasing our forever home in June, I knew we would benefit from professional help in updating it - from selecting the perfect stain color for the hardwood floors, to paint colors for walls and built in cabinets, to furnishing each room, to the renovation of two bathrooms and the kitchen. Not having ever worked with a professional Interior Designer before, I was uncertain about what to expect. After conducting extensive research of approximately 25 Interior Designers, I kept coming back to Marina and The Red Shutters site. I read reviews from people like me who had no prior experience working with a professional and commented on Marina’s designs being “timeless” which strongly resonated with me. I finally took a leap of faith and scheduled the complimentary Discovery Call. If you are uncertain about what you need, where to begin and feeling a bit overwhelmed, I highly recommend their Discovery Call. The call was with Janine, Marina’s very capable Project Manager, who was very informative and easy to talk with, answering all of our questions and concerns. There was absolutely no pressure to commit to any package or services which we appreciated and speaks to their high level of professionalism. Following the call, we decided to schedule an in person visit with Marina at our home the day after closing. Prior to our in person meeting with Marina, we were uncertain as to what to expect due to our inexperience with the interior design world and basis of knowledge which was pretty much limited to my being a regular viewer of Houzz and HGTV episodes . Upon meeting Marina, and hearing her thoughts as we walked through our home, we were immediately put at ease and reassured we had found the right person with the right vision for our home. The subsequent proposal she presented for each phase of our renovation just further reinforced this decision. Finding Marina and working with her has been a godsend, in addition to being immensely talented in design, she is so thoughtful in her approach, decision making process and respectful of budgetary concerns. She promptly responds to questions and has been invaluable in so many other areas. I am in awe of the breadth and depth of her knowledge, clearly gained through her decades of experience. Have a concern about moths destroying a new wool rug? Marina knows a great preventative measure. Walking through our yard, Marina identified every tree and shrub to my amazement and provided recommendations. We are so appreciative of the care, attention and patience Marina and her team have demonstrated with us as we navigated each step and phase of our renovations. In summary, having Marina as a resource has been priceless, she is a true visionary who has transformed our home and we will forever be indebted to her. I highly recommend Marina and her team for any project as I know they will exceed your expectations.

Marina Case was the perfect choice to help us create a home that reflects our personality. She is professional, compassionate and above all, a good listener. Marina really heard our desires, wishes and opinions and translated them into a great design. Our project involved incorporating an extensive art collection, legacy/historical pieces, and the acquisition of new items into our new home in the Hudson Valley. Marina's support team is highly responsive and professional. We always get replies about invoices and sourcing quickly and efficiently. We love how our home turned out! And, the process of working with Marina has been creative and joyful!! We are very grateful to have found Marina!!

We met Marina Case, the owner of Red Shutters when we were searching for a designer who could bring new color and design appropriate for our 200 year old home. She listened to us and adhered to our budget. She presented us with a range of beautiful choices for carpets, wall colors, window treatments and furniture. Marina did what a good designer should do: introduced design concepts and colors that we might not have considered on our own. Marina's design and office staff were great in communicating and follow up on clear specifications, prices, and timelines for completion. There were no surprises! We were especially pleased with the work done by the craftsmen Marina referred to us. The wall paper hanger, painter, upholsterer and carpet installers all showed up on when scheduled, were neat, courteous, and did excellent work. We are very happy with beautiful new rooms.

Marina is such a lovely person. Whether you need complete design or simply a reassuring sounding board to coordinate ideas with, she is completely capable and happy to comply. She and her team were delightful to deal with!

Marina is simply the best! She listened attentively at the beginning of my office redesign project to develop a creative vision aligned with my company's branding and "vibe." She knew when to push me out of my comfort zone and when to stay within what I was comfortable with. The office space looks amazing-- better than I could have imaged. I highly recommend Marina and the team from The Red Shutters.

I engaged with Marina as a Style Immersion client, and she has been a wonderful partner to me while I have decorated my new home. Marina is readily available in-person, by Zoom, or by email and has listened carefully to me and guided me thoughtfully through the selection of furniture, window treatments, and art work for my home. The Style Immersion package has suited me well -- I lead with a vision and Marina helps me to better organize my ideas and adds creative support and guidance. She is a terrific designer and professional, and I highly recommend her.

This was my first time working with a professional decorator and I admit I was very nervous. I did my research prior to hiring Marina and her team and was quite impressed with what she has accomplished. From the moment we met I felt like I was working with a longtime friend. The job given was to pretty much transform my living room, family room, dining room and kitchen as well as a few bedrooms. Additionally I needed to have all my ceiling lights mapped out as well as guidance on the location of several huge windows I wanted to install. I can easily get overwhelmed and feared my. life was going to be book upon books of swatches, catalogs etc but Marina listened to my direction and for each meeting brought a controlled selection for me to preview. She nailed it every single time. I think my favorite takeaway from working with her was she pushed me to step outside my comfort zone a few times and those are the pieces that I love the most. Never in my dreams would I think my home would be as stunning as it is. I miss working with Marina but in a way she will always be a part of my home. Through her magic, I feel very connected and appreciate/take pride in each piece of furniture, carpet, drapery, etc. She is my design guru and a gift to anyone who uses her.

Marina’s professionalism & “eye” are exceptional! She ‘s worked with us on two houses now. The first was a turn of the century home, and then when we moved out of state, i knew she was the perfect person to help us with our current 1880 Victorian renovation project as well. Thanks Marina for helping me maintain my sanity during these projects, and for transforming both houses into a wonderful home.

My husband and I hired Marina Case to help us fully visualize and complete our newly created kitchen and dining room, living room, master bedroom and mudroom spaces. We had a general vision of what we wanted, but Marina tied it all together with her detailed design plans, paint color choices and wall textures. Her choices enhance each space individually while simultaneously uniting them as part of a stunning whole. We loved working with Marina! She is a consummate professional that gets to know her clients, their tastes and needs. She actively listens and discusses the client's vision at length. When she has an alternate suggestion and/or viewpoint, she presents it respectfully and calmly. She does not force her ideas upon the client but rather suggests them, which is an ideal approach. She is methodical, thoughtful, professional, thorough, responsive and enormously talented. We are so glad we hired her!

Marina and Janine have been wonderful to work with. I appreciate how quickly they came to appreciate our aesthetic and were able to help us transform our dated home into something more contemporary and our style. They helped with paint color selection, furniture choice and layout, and gave input along the way on small touches. We look forward to continuing our working relationship with the Red Shutters team as we complete our home.

Another year and another wonderful experience with Marina Case and her team at Red Shutters. In the past we have had the pleasure of working with Marina on an exquisite bathroom renovation project (see previous review 12/19/19). Marina has introduced us to the beauty of magnificent rugs that add elements of color, coziness and quiet to our home. Our beloved home is a log home which is cozy, but wood is not the quietest of materials. Marina brought in a beautiful selection of vintage hand-woven rugs to consider. The gradual addition of rugs has transformed our living spaces making them quieter, more intimate, and uniquely ours. Our focal point this year was our sitting room; a small but main entrance space. We once again welcomed Marina’s exquisite eye and vision to refresh this room while maintaining flow and harmony with adjoining space. We loved working through the process of selecting fabrics, wallpaper, furnishings, and rugs; what to keep and what to change. Once again Marina’s gentle hand and honest opinions guided us through. The result is now our favorite room in our home. The sitting room now has this beautiful blend of richness and coziness; simply put, it invites you in. Thank you !

We are “in progress” with Marina and so excited to see how the “final product” will turn out! Marina has impressed us with her responsiveness and genuine compassion for her work. She has been willing to learn about and adapt our personal style and budget to the design while also being able to “nudge” us out of our comfort zone with confidence... something we all need! She has helped to minimize the stress of moving and designing, instead making it fun and exciting. All transactions have been smooth and all interactions have been professional and personable. Highly recommend based on our experience thus far!

Marina is assisting me in decorating my house room by room. Her artistic eye has transformed my house into an elegant haven of classic beauty. She is very patient in working with me until each room looks sensational! I’m so exciting to work with her on each and every room. I highly recommend her services and consider her to be a genius of interior design! I’m sure that once she completes her work it will look like we have stepped into a fantastic magazine of interior design!

Marina designed our open living room and kitchen in our new home, as well as our office, and we are extremely happy with the results. She is on trend, yet she knows how to simultaneously keep the design classic and timeless. In the beginning, Marina spent a great deal of time getting to know us and our style but also encouraged us to come out of our comfort zone which we really appreciated. She worked within our budget and was never pushy. Without hesitation, Marina has also offered us her professional advice on paint colors for other rooms when we needed it. We are so happy with how the design turned out, and we are getting ready to work with her on other projects. Marina has been more than just a designer to us, we now consider her our friend.

I was so lucky to be connected to Marina Case at The Red Shutters a few months ago when I was looking for help furnishing our 2 bedroom 2 bath weekend lakeside retreat. To complicate matters, I was based overseas for work at the time. Marina did not hesitate to take on the project, and was fantastic coordinating with me via regular video calls and kept the process simple and on track. She started by taking the time to understand my needs and budget and was very clear and transparent throughout the process. I love the combination of furnishings she put together for us. I would recommend Marina and The Red Shutters in a heart beat.

Marina guided us through a kitchen, mudroom, and powder room renovation of our 1950s house. Without her help, our project never would have gotten off the ground. She connected us to other excellent professionals (architect, contractor, cabinet maker, etc.) who helped us transform the kitchen. Along the way she provided us with the design assurances and professional guidance we needed to keep the project moving forward.

Marina is helping me to give a fresh look to our 1850 farmhouse decor. Our primary focus was on a new guest room addition decor that needed an update it is now a well put together welcoming room. Marina has also helped add color and life to Some of our rooms with new beautiful rugs. I. Look forward to continuing to work with Marina on more projects in the new year.

I love the care and creativity Marina gives when working on a project! Marina has decorated my office, living room, and now the entrance foyer to our 1850's Victorian Farmhouse. She understands the vibe of my old house, and uses color, light and wallpaper to showcase the unique aspects, and downplay the imperfections of our home. Every selection she shows us fits beautifully. Marina has provided rugs and paintings to perfectly match the decor and our personalities. The best part?? The overwhelming task of researching paper/colors and so on, is streamlined by her expertise, which makes the final decisions easy. I'm looking forward to many more projects with Marina and the Red Shutters.

I was introduced too Marina by another designer who had recently retired. I was in need of serious updating. I am so glad Marina and I connected, it's been a pleasure to work with her this past year. She is attentive and talented and never forceful with her design. Her response time is excellent and she has wonderful resources. I look forward to continuing the work we started. I would highly recommend her Marina and her staff.

We have had the absolute pleasure of working with Marina this past year focusing on much-needed bathroom remodeling. We love our home which is rather unique as it is a log home which in turn brings design and decorating challenges. On added challenge was we really didn’t have a clear vision of what we wanted. Marina gently guided us through an enjoyable design discovery process which laid the groundwork for a collective vision. To say Marina nailed-it is an understatement. The bathroom is an exquisite balance of modern and vintage; blending beautifully with the home's character. We are so excited for our next project with Marina as she works her magic on our sitting room.

Marina has a creative and stylish design aesthetic with a practical attitude towards a project which I appreciate. She has many unique sources for all things Home, and is always a pleasure to work with!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Marina. Her design skills and talent for innovation are exceptional. The professionals she recommends are responsible and their work is excellent. Marina cares about every aspect of her clients and their projects. She is a very special person. I would recommend her without reservation.

Marina and her team at the Red Shutters worked on a project to refresh and update the family, dining, and powder rooms in our center hall colonial home. I was very pleased with the quality and professional services provided. She bends over backward to make sure the client is happy in each phase of the project and always makes herself available to discuss every detail if needed. Marina is very experienced in the design world and knows the resources for every budget and style. She has an excellent eye for color and scale. She is open to client ideas while gently steering towards the best outcome. I highly recommend Marina and her team!

Marina is an amazing designer who is also kind and wonderful. She has a great eye and a lot of patience with my lack of knowledge. I can't wait to see the final result!

Marina is a top notch professional with an exquisite taste level . She is very easy to work with and can adapt to all kinds of styles .

We feel so lucky to have the BEST Interior Designer – Marina Case and her team at The Red Shutters!!! We are currently working with her on decorating our new home and she has been amazing throughout the entire process. You can tell she is extremely passionate and puts her heart and soul into her work. She is helping us transform our New-Old historic style home to complement its architectural beauty with our décor. She is an incredible resource who always makes herself available for design suggestions and helps to incorporate new pieces with things we already own. Marina has opened our eye to design possibilities we had not considered before while taking into account our own personal style and taste. Though still a work-in-progress, thus far, we have been thrilled with the results. Overall, not only is Marina a lovely person to work with but she also has an impeccable eye for design that will stand the test of time. We highly recommend her – you will not be disappointed!

There is much to say about this amazing artist. I met Marina when I purchased two historic houses in Warwick,NY and didn’t have any clue where to start my renovations,what’s important and has a big value and what is just an addition. With her big knowledge of colonial period and passion for work everything went very smoothly and was very exciting. She has a great sense of style and she thought me a lot and changed my vision on interior design. Marina was always working around my schedule,knew every specialist needed for the work and became my friend. She also convinced me to House app and we got a lot of stuff from that place. One part of the project a guest house is already finished and you can visit the website www.warwickswhitehouse.com The other,more complicated one is still in progress and is planned to open in 2020 as a restaurant/ lounge/museum. I would recommend her for any project,doesn’t matter how big. She will listen to your ideas and will connect them with hers to make a wonderful piece of art. Thank you,Marina

Marina has worked with me over several years, and the results have always exceeded my expectations. Her ability to visualize a new direction in design and color, taking into account historical context, current trends and above all, her clients' taste and lifestyle, is truly amazing. Whether you are trying to find the best thing that will work within your budget or are willing to splurge on something irresistible, she provides you with creative options to choose from. Having just repainted the exterior of my house with Marina-selected colors--ones I would never have thought of on my own--, the compliments are pouring in. Couldn't be happier.

Marina Case is wonderful to work with! Marina is always accessible, honest, super creative, professional, extremely detailed and fun to work with. She is a designer who always listens to her clients and delivers in every way. Marina took the time to listen to what I wanted, had great ideas and gave wonderful recommendations. I highly recommend Marina for any project! She is a professional interior designer with excellent taste! Loved working with her!!

Not only is Marina an lovely person, one whose sense of style indicates that she is someone who lives her trade but she is a good listener. Once she has a sense of who you are and your design needs, she puts forth options that are unique, not run-of -the-mill TV design but options that reflect your personality.

Marina is a true professional with an impeccable eye. She is thoughtful, patient and easy to work with. I especially appreciate how easy it was to access her via email or phone as I am overseas a lot. We worked really well together to bring my vision to life. Marina helped me take the design vision I had and level it up to be truly spectacular. Everyone who sees Wholeness Center NY is awed by it's beauty. Pro photos are yet to be taken so we won't post those just yet.

It's a pleasure to meet and collaborate with another professional designer with such high standards, great style, and integrity to continue a Church renovation project we both feel passionate about completing. Marina's capability for high style has been enjoyable as we found ways to use our resources to form a cohesive and updated look for the Church Parish House working within the guidelines and budget. Her resource knowledge is expressed with a grace befitting her personality and charm. Few designers manage this confidence in a lifetime of design, but Marina has displayed competence of the seasoned professional she is.

Marina Case provided overall Interior Design concept and execution - Marina worked on all aspects of the interior finishes and furnishings for our new 4000 square foot church education/office/gathering building. She provided outstanding results and great working relationship. I highly recommend her services!

Talented!!! Marina Case Principal Designer of the Red Shutters has been and still is a pleasure to work with. Marina is a versatile designer decorating 3 completely different homes for us. A historical home, ski home nad now a coastal home. Marina caprtured the character and ambience of each home uniquely and beautifully. I appreciate Marina's talent for space,color,character,textiles, and so much more! I would happily recommend Marina.

I have been working with Marina on a. Kitchen, master bath an guest math remodel, from floor to ceiling. She brings an expertise and incredible knowledge of the industry. She understands what is trending and what is timeless. Marina listens and does not dismiss your ideas. She will, however point out the possible pitfalls. She will incorporate your ideas into the design and will let you decide if it works. She is usually right. She is able to share her vision without appearing to dominate. It has been a pleasure incorporating her vision with ours.

Marina has an excellent eye for decorating and without being pushy, she will guide you by offering interesting and appealing choices. She has a wide array of available fabrics and other items . She has great ideas for wall covering choices and room design ideas . In short, I would highly recommend her, You will not be disappointed .

Marina is wonderful to work with! She completely transformed my condo. I had no idea what I could do with it until she came to make suggestions. Thanks to her, I think I've increased the value of my home for the future. She always answers, and if she can't at the moment, she will be sure to get back to you within 24 hours. I highly recommend working with her. I find her taste, her eye, and her ear to be impeccable.

When I lived in Warwick, NY, I frequented Marina's antique store in town and gotten to know her over the years. Marina's shop was inviting, elegant and cozy and always filled with wonderful and interesting pieces. Subsequently, Marina worked with me on many occasions on various pieces that I needed to add to my home or existing pieces that I needed to reupholster.. She listened, is thoughtful and made recommendations based on my budget and each piece turned out exquisitely. I have also seen other completed projects by Marina. She decorated the entire house of one of my neighbors, and her design at a high end spa in a luxury boutique hotel. Her work is fresh, modern but also classic and elegant. She is an absolute gem. I would say that Marina is the consummate professional and I would recommend her highly.

We recently lost our home in a tragic accident & were left with nothing. Marina came highly recommended to help us create a beautiful, peaceful, comfortable family home. She far exceeded our expectations. Beyond her amazing design talent & knowledge she is warm, caring, & passionate about designing a beautiful yet functional space for an active family. She was available anytime we needed her & amazingly patient knowing just how to guide us. She opened our eyes to knew ideas, while allowing our own style to shine through. We love working with Marina & highly recommend her!

Marina provided immediate expert advise for our project located states away from the Red Shutters. My fiance and I purchased our fixer upper home in Virginia last year. When we bought the house we knew we wanted to paint over the terrible original pinky tan color. Being the "do it yourselfers" that we are, we selected a dark blue grey color that we thought went nicely with the house. We hired the painters and bought the paint . I came home from work to learn that my dark blue grey was actually more of a bright blue green. I asked the painters to immediately stop and I called Marina at the Red Shutters. I sent Marina photos of the house and asked for her color recommendation. We picked out 3 colors and tested them on foam boards. Via Skype, I was able to show Marina the paint color against the stone, the roof and the windows. We ended up choosing a warm gold and have planned for brown gutters and a red door. Marina's expertise in knowing paint colors off hand as well as the Southern style made the color change quick and painless. My only wish is that I had called Marina before the blue was ever painted on.

Things I appreciate about The Red Shutters, and in particular, their principle designer, Marina Case: Total consideration for my lifestyle, heritage, taste in decor, and my budget! I have worked with Marina for many years as we update my home room by room. She is particularly adept at looking at a space and knowing exactly what it needs to give it a fresh look. She will use what you have, add a little, subtract a little, add a pop of color or some fabulous lamps and voila- your rooms now have a bright, fresh and updated look. She does all of this while keeping the integrity of the home and the client's taste intact. I also appreciate Marina's dynamic. Never one to rest on her laurels, she is tireless in keeping abreast of all that is new in the world of design. I would not hesitate to recommend her- she is a pleasure to work with!

My husband and I hired Marina Case to help us with our new home. We weren't sure what room to begin in or what our "style" would be but with the help of Marina Case she transformed our house into a home we could have never done on our own. With her endless talent she worked with us on wallpaper and paint colors, furniture, lighting, rugs and accessorizing our built-ins. Her rug selections were brilliant but also kid and pet conscience which was very important to us. Marina was so fun to work with, brought several choices and price ranges for us to consider and always worked around our busy schedules. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the work she has done and will be using her again.

Marina and her team at Red Shutters are amazing! We recently bought a new home and Marina’s help has been invaluable. She helped us choose a paint color scheme for the whole house. She is also currently helping us furnish and decorate our living room, dining room, and kitchen. Her taste is absolutely impeccable. She has an incredible eye and a great sense of how a room should come together. She and her team are a joy to work with. Every detail of our project is handled in a thorough and timely manner. Marina is also excellent at keeping everything moving forward even with our very busy schedules, which we really appreciate! We love working with her and highly recommend both her and her fabulous team.

Marina Case helped me freshen up my loft entertainment area with beautiful new pet-proof fabric and with suggestions on how to make the space more cozy. She also put me in touch with an expert who was able to repair one of my wooden antique tables. Now I spend all my free time up there!

Marina Case of The Red Shutters is wonderfully client-centric and brings a great eye and creative solutions to every project, whether my 1889 country house or my NYC apartment. She took the time to get to know me and really understand my objectives and then aimed to make decision-making as easy as possible for me given my busy work schedule. She is super practical and finds multiple solutions to a given work scope, helping to balance budget and vision to great effect. Always pleasant and accessible, she personally shepherds the process with great care ensuring that all parties involved in supplying the inputs to the design process and the execution of a project are top notch and delivering their products in a timely and efficient manner.

Over the past five years Marina has overseen three room restoration projects at Liberty Hall Museum. Her eye for detail is amazing. All three rooms were to be restored in different historical time periods and Marina researched those time periods to create several plans for each room. She gave us wonderful options that between her opinions and the museum staff we were able to restore rooms to make sense for our visitors. All three rooms were overhauled from top to bottom; walls, curtains, rugs, and furniture all needed to either be recreated or restored. Marina always came through with great designs. She was always able to find the correct contractors for these projects, whether it was to put up wallpaper or recreate window treatments. Marina has gone above and beyond in our room restoration projects and we are looking forward to working with her on future projects.

Marina has worked with me on two styles of homes. She has an easygoing way of knowing exactly what I want even when I thought I wanted something else. She works well with contractors while being firm about what is needed. Her staff is professional, knowledgeable, accommodating and a pleasure to work with. She has a professional, pleasant way of making a daunting task seem fun with a very satisfying end result. I would recommend her without reservation.

I had no background when I entered Red Shutters, I just found them and went in. That was one of the luckiest days of my life! Marina and Laura are magic makers. They understood me from the start and made me feel comfortable as a first time customer. I had never used a designer and was concerned they would be too pushy -- not as all. They listened, suggested, and let me take the lead on what I wanted. Best of all, they did not steer me to items I could not afford. At one point they even said, "You have great taste, but you can't afford that material." Now that is not only a great designer but a great friend. This business is professional, creative, original, and easy to use. You can trust them in your home, with your personal space, and most importantly, with your comfort and contentment. They have your best interest in mind, and work toward it. I cannot recommend them highly enough. It's like working with family, only they are not annoying. I plan to use them for a long time to come. We have a big house, and it's mostly ugly. They are the light at the end of my tunnel!

Through the years, I've been very fortunate to have worked with Marina on projects in three vastly different homes and a wide range of budgetary limitations. I have always been delighted with the results. She has, on many more than one occasion, transformed my decor from chaotic to cohesive. And she's lovely to be around. Give her a try. You won't be sorry!

I hired Marina and her talented Red Shutters staff back in 2014 and continue to work with them on a regular basis. Marina rescued me from a large scale home renovation project that I thought I could manage but quickly grew out of control. Before I knew it, the joy was all but gone. Marina stepped in and graciously gave me back my confidence with my own eye and guided me to an incredibly successful completion. She and her staff are top notch and very responsive to every need and concern. I highly recommend The Red Shutters for any private or commercial project. They'll take you to new levels of satisfaction!

Mirina rescued me from a a bad decorating decision. I was busy picking out a red leather sofa to match my red Persian rug and red Asian coffee table. She wisely directed my selection to a more appropriate couch while educating me about the process of designing an interior space. I relied on her professional advice to purchase other chairs and accessories to compliment the art in my studio apartment in Manhattan. I am confident that through Mirina’s guidance, I will have a personal space that will not feel dated for the foreseeable future. I would highly recommend The Red Shutters for either your small or large decorating needs.

Marina helped save us hours, or more likely days, of stress and repainting!! As we were in the final stages of building our home my husband and I realized we were in need of help with our color choices. Marina walked through our door and just got it! She understood us, our taste and the look we were trying to achieve in just moments. Even though we hired her for help with paint colors, she happily offered her assistance with other design questions such as fireplace finish and fabric choices. I would certainly use her again!

As we celebrate our 1 year anniversary of the Candy Apple Shoppe in Warwick NY we reflect on how it all came together and it wouldn't have been the success it is without Marina's touch from The Red Shutters! Marina is an excellent listener and she nailed it with this renovation. Her design style is versatile to suite any project, she is confident with her choices and as we quickly learned always right! We had the honor of winning the renovation award from the Warwick Chamber of Commerce and that is a tribute and testament to Marina's great style. We are already planning our next project with The Red Shutters and you should too!

In the last number of years, we have been delighted to work with Marina on several homes including a beach house, two main residences, and a South Carolina home. Marina has a gift not many interior decorators possess. Professionalism certainly is her first priority. She wants the resulting product to reflect your own style and taste. Marina is very easy to work with and she will guide you through what could be some difficult situations. The estimates are given to you prior to your project. Budgets are always met and her promises for delivery are accurate. The quality is excellent. Proof of this is when people enter our homes, they are very impressed with the results and ask for the decorator's name. We are very pleased with Marina's gift and always recommend her services with confidence to family and friends! We are currently working with Marina on our last custom home in Bluffton, SC. She has helped choosing colors for rooms, tile for bathroom floors, counters in kitchen, style of fireplace, flooring throughout the home, and numerous other details. The project is overwhelming and Marina takes the pressure off many of the decisions to be made with new construction. It always comes together in the end with Marina by our side. We are very proud of our home when she is finished with our home! She comes very highly recommended!

I have had the pleasure of working with Marina over the last 20 years on 4 houses. She has a marvelous eye for design and detail and is exceptionally talented in the area of color and scale. She has guided me in choosing the right material for beautiful, dramatic window treatments and making sure the installation went smoothly. She provided handsome custom slipcovers for my worn, but wonderful club chairs, suggested mixing and matching materials to create a one-of-a-kind ottoman, and reconfigured my furniture for better room flow. The Red Shutters has been a constant source for many beautiful items I treasure including rugs, paintings, furniture, and even jewelry. Marina is knowledgeable, professional and a delight to work with. I am delighted to recommend her services.

The construction and decoration of a new house can be a daunting task, especially when you live over 4 hours away ! In our case, the choice of The Red Shutters and Marina Case Alario was the perfect match. From her flawless choice of bathroom materials to her beautifully balanced selection of furnishings, Marina helped our new house become a home. The logistics of a long distance project were handled seamlessly. I would highly recommend Marina for any project large or small, near or far. Maggie Browne

Moving to a house from a small condominium was overwhelming and exciting with the need of many furnishings. I wanted to make the right choices and have the direction towards a classic style and furnishings that we would still love in 10 years. After much thought and research, we hired Marina Case who helped and guided us with her design services. The outcome was amazing and reflective of our background from window treatments, furniture, carpets to wall hangings. I was also able to incorporate many unique accessories from Marina's store, The Red Shutters, into my home beautifully. Marina has a keen eye, style and advice that inspired me as well.

I have been working with Marina for several years on many different projects. She is a top professional and fun to work with. Her projects range from a fun ice cream shoppe to a high end resort. I’m always excited to work with Marina to see what she is doing next. And the finished projects are stunning! Always. I recommend Marina to all my clients.
