Serenity Design

We hired the company during the pandemic and had issues with prioritizing our home design over some issues with work related priorities. Serenity then basically fired us and made my daughter and I terribly uncomfortable once we were ready to move forward because we couldn’t move forward fast enough. Terrible customer service.

To help us decorate and furnish our new beach house and to offer design ideas as it was being built, we interviewed several Interior Design companies and selected Serenity Design, Donna Grimes, Ship Bottom, Long Beach Island, NJ. Our house is large with many bath rooms, bed rooms, and activity rooms. Donna was great at showing us various options for materials, designs, furniture, lighting, fans, rugs, window treatments etc. She helped solve special problems like a ceiling design to cover structural details, and specially designed cabinetry. She also recommended very good craftsmen and sub contractors. Donna Grimes really cares. She and her staff work tirelessly to find a solution and satisfy her client. We are very pleased with the finished product and our relationship with Donna and Serenity Design.

Donna and her staff are the best. She is so knowledgeable and knows her decorating. She has a eye for color and pattern. She did a fabulous job at my house which came alive with all her suggestions.

I worked with Serenity Design renovating my family beach house. Donna and Victoria knew the emotional attachment I had to the house and made sure that while we modernized and beautified the space, the integrity of the house remained intact. While every renovation project has its bumps, Donna and her team worked to solve all the issues and get the project done on time! They were great to work with and helped my vision of a modern, comfortable, entertaining friendly home come to life!

We had our main living area, kitchen and two baths completely renovated. Donna and her team were creative, easy to work with and extremely professional. On top of that, we were not in the house when work was being done and when we returned to LBI we were thrilled with the results. I would highly recommend Serenity Design and will not hesitate to work with them again.

We moved into a new construction in a 55+ community in Barnegat. During the building process, Donna helped us with selections for our entire house based on what the contractor was offering. I couldn't have done it without her!! She helped us decide what furniture to keep and designed the layout and furnished a lot of our new house. Donna had a vision and everything turned out beautiful. I couldn't be happier with all the selections she made for our new beach house..the layout, colors scheme, fabrics, furniture, lighting.. everything! She is patient and really great to work with! Give her a try.. ..you won't be disappointed!!

I purchased my home on the bay in LBI in March 2017. My first call, even before closing, was to Serenity Design where I met Debbie. We began working together right away. Debbie had a complete understanding of the look we were trying to establish in our home. She understood that we had limited time to be down here and always had great things to show us when we met with her. She also helped us with all the "other" things - plumbers, electricians, cleaners... In just a few short months we were able to move into our home. It is exactly as we hoped it would be - warm, comfortable and cozy, yet still clean and airy. She achieved the look I was hoping for with the perfect balance of beach house/peaceful sanctuary. I could not be happier and only hope that I can convince her to come to Hoboken for my next project! I wouldn't dream of working with anyone else.

Donna and her team helped us transform our beach house into our dream come true. She was responsible for remodeling our kitchen, and decorating our living room right down the the rugs, paint color, chandeliers and couches. She and her team were responsive, professional, and creative. When friends visit they are blown away. Serenity helped us achieve our coastal retreat!

It has been my pleasure doing multiple projects over the years with Donna and her staff. She brings her wonderful creativity and talent to every job and has a keen sense of style and taste while thoughtfully assessing the client's needs and personal desires. While my homes have always turned out beautiful and tasteful, they are also very comfortable, functional & delightfully inviting for all. I take great pride in my homes and thank Donna for making my houses "homes."

Donna and the staff at Serenity Design have been a joy to work with. Donna took the time to get to know our family and our lifestyle at the beach. From room layouts, furniture selection, and kitchen/bathroom design and project management, Donna has been spot on in designing a serene beach house for our busy family. Projects have always been delivered on time and within budget.

When Donna Grimes from Serenity Design first came to our house she immediately put us at ease and we felt comfortable dealing with Donna and her staff from that moment forward. She listened to our thoughts and concerns and always kept our vision as well as budget in mind. Donna had wonderful ideas and always came up with a version of what we imagined that we loved. The Serenity Design staff was always very friendly and extremely efficient. Our emails and calls were answered in a timely fashion and we always were completely satisfied with their service. All the furniture was delivered and arranged for us on time and we were always pleasantly surprised at how amazing everything looked after their finishing touches. The items we ordered were very high quality, and they included sofas, chairs, window treatments, a dining table, and several accent pieces. Donna also arranged for our interior painting and outdoor lighting and furniture as well. Donna took care of all the contracting and the supervision of their jobs. We are so happy we chose Donna and her staff to undertake the remodel of our home. She simplified the task which at first was totally overwhelming, and created a perfect space that we absolutely love.

Donna and her crew were amazing. I redid my whole entire beach house from top to bottom, inside and out. They were professional, on schedule and I didn't have to worry about a thing. They took care of everything. The results are amazing, it's a whole new house. I couldn't be happier!!!
