About Us
“Exceeding Your Expectations Is What We Do Best!”
For many years, we have been creating quality kitchen and bath designs for custom and remodeling homes in the New England area. We are a company of passionate professionals that strive every day to bring our customers innovative designs at affordable prices. Our commitment and dedication to providing quality designs has allowed us to prosper through the toughest markets during a time of recession. The value, knowledge and growth of our hardworking company have proven to stand the test of time.
Perhaps the best part of the endeavor is the working relationship between the client and our designers. It is without fail that collaborating and working with us is always an enjoyable process. Very early in the design process, it becomes obvious that we are more concerned over the project details, success, and budget. This can be a very calming and satisfying effect for the customer, as they are guided and educated throughout their venture.
We would love to be able to design your next kitchen or bath and prove that working together to create your dream project can be a great experience.

Exceeded our expectations. We began working with DFL in November 2019 and completed construction in July 2020. The actual construction process was completed in 6 weeks, on time and budget. We did a complete bathroom renovation. The DFL team was very supportive and provided us with excellent ideas, concepts and recommendations from the outset as we designed our bathroom layout. They also provided us with numerous site visits of their previous renovations for us to develop our ideas and to see the quality of their designs and craftsmanship. They have many relationships with vendors which also proved to be helpful in choosing tile and bathroom fixtures. The entire team spent many hours with us as the project took shape. The DFL team was also very good at keeping us on time and making sure that we had a checklist of everything that we needed to start construction and that it was ordered correctly. We will use DFL again in the future.

Paolo and the team at DFL were awesome. Following the first meeting where we presented a very rough idea on our concept Paolo responded with the perfect design and recommendations for layout. We had some minor iterations and changes over a couple weeks before finalizing our plan and start date. The DFL team was great to work with - they overcommunicate, provide very detailed instructions and outlines for the project itself. They worked directly with suppliers once we finalized our appliances, tile, cabinets and hardware. We can’t say enough positive things about this group - they made the process very easy - we cant recommend them enough.

Paolo and team at Designs for Living were such a pleasure to work with. Communication was strong and Paolo understood our vision for the kitchen design and thoughtfully incorporated all of our desired elements. They were very responsive at every phase of the project, and we now have the dream kitchen we always wanted. We would highly recommend partnering with the team at Designs for Living for your next project- we cannot wait to engage them for our bathroom project!

Our experience with Design for Living was exceptional!! Our project incurred the remodel of 2 bathrooms. Everyone who came into our home was respectful, talented and highly competent in their area of expertise. The crews showed up everyday(never missing a day) and actually finished both projects early. Vin and Paulo were always in contact and present every step of the way. Most important to us was how clean this crew was. You would never have know they were in our home cleaning every afternoon before leaving. We would HIGHLY recommend Design For Living

Paulo and the team were excellent to work with in our kitchen renovation. He was helpful in discussing ideas in a kitchen (layout/functionality) and keeping a budget in mind. The team was also helpful in providing other vendors (tile, lighting, plumbing fixtures) that were wonderful to work with. I would definitely use the team at Designs for Living again when we look at updating our bathrooms.

Paulo and his team at Designs for Living were absolutely fantastic!
The moment we met Paulo, we were blown away by his professionalism and down to earth personality. He exuded warmth and wisdom, and we knew he was someone we could greatly trust to work diligently on our kitchen design.
We knew we needed someone genuine and transparent to help guide us in selecting high quality cabinets and counters that met our needs and desires, while staying in our budget. He did just that!
Paulo worked hard getting us precise measurements of our kitchen and double checking them (dotting every i and crossing every t), and gave us peace of mind everything would come in just right. He managed product deliveries so there’s no cabinets sitting in your house waiting for them to go in-he manages everything making it easy and seamless for us as homeowners.
DFL offered us much needed advice, spent hours on designs and meeting with us, guiding us on the best layouts for our space, the best cabinets for our family (a pantry, trash pull out that have made life so much easier!), help with hardware, even a sink! Paulo’s vast knowledge of all that’s out there in the industry from materials, design trends, timeless cabinet styles, all were most valuable to us.
Paulo was a stand out from other kitchen designers we’ve met in that he is so polished yet personable, passionate about his businesss and personally stands by the product lines he offers. We knew that should anything have an unlikely issue, Paulo would work rapidly to remedy the situation, and that gave us great peace of mind.
Everything came out gorgeous. We love our full kitchen remodel and know that when we remodel our bathrooms down the road, we’ll want Paulo and Designs for Living to guide us every step of the way.

Deisgns for Living were very professional and so very helpful. They were extremely easy to work with. They had excellent ideas and answered any and all questions I had. They understand the clients needs and worked with our requests. They brought their expertise to the field and suggested ideas we would never have thought of. We did a full kitchen remodel and I could not be more pleased. I love walking into my kitchen and am so grateful for Designs for Living for helping us redesign our kitchen. The flow is so much better! The entire staff were very friendly and helpful. They helped keep the project on time by making sure our decisions were made in the appropriate time frame to keep the project moving. They had great recommendations with vendors to purchase from which made the selection process very smooth. They helped make the entire decision process less intimidating which is what I needed. I highly recommend Designs for Living and appreciate all they did to make my kitchen remodel a success!

Paulo and team at Designs for Living were fantastic to work with and we absolutely love our new kitchen. The design process was much easier than we expected due to Paulo's expertise and knowledge. He was always able to answer our questions and provide recommendations and options based on our space. We could not be happier with the final product. Highly recommended and will use again for future projects.
