Marlborough, MA Lighting Design Professionals

“We didn't end up hiring John Canty, but we probably should have! Our house is in need of a full gut job. John was very helpful and knowledgeable when he came in to look at our house. We ended up hiring another contractor, who we have since fired, because he worked with a friend a friend of ours. We should have known that you need to mesh with your GC and create good communication lines with them -- we learned quickly that just because a GC worked well with someone you know, it doesn't mean they'll work well with you! John was very upfront and honest about the costs and quality of the job we'd get, and we should have trusted our gut instinct to hire him! It's been 4 months and we're still waiting to get started on our house.”

“My husband and I are extremely pleased with the wonderful experience we have had so far with RIKB. We are moving from the designing stage into the ordering process. So technically we still have a few more weeks before we begin the actual renovation of our kitchen. If the rest of the process goes as well as it has, we will be posting another rave review. They take you from the design of your project through to it's final conception. Their staff is pleasant, knowledgeable and very helpful. Their goal is to create the kitchen you want within a predetermined budget range. Well it's done. We love the results. It's like living in a brand new house. All thumbs up for RIKB!!!!! We love our new kitchen. Here are the before and after pictures. You decide. We are glad we decided to go with RIKB. It's a joy to cook and eat in our lovely new kitchen. Thanks RIKB!!!!”

“Could not be happier! Mathew and his staff were very helpful during every phase of the project. They took the time to explain to me and my husband what needed to be done and very often gave us helpful ideas. We went into the project with a strong idea of what we wanted. Mat not only helped us bring those ideas to life, he also offered ways to improve upon those ideas in ways that I could never have thought of. Our family could not have been happier with the result and we constantly get compliments from everyone! I would highly recommend Mat to anyone!”

“We have worked for Annie Hall Interiors on several projects in the Boston area and also down in the Cape Cod area. What strikes me the most is her modern taste and ability to pull together several different elements and colors and make all of them work in harmony in any room. She also has business skills that most Interior Designers don’t: she is very good at following up with clients and vendors, which helps to get the project done on time and without mistakes. One last thing: she has hired me for my biggest residential project ever since I’ve started my company six years ago. A property with over 200+ windows!”

“I hired these designers while constructing a house in the Boston Area. They were involved with everything from interior design to finish details. They are exceptional in their ability to understand a clients style. My home feels like the interior was designed just for our family. We love it. I am working with them again on another project and plan to continue using them in the future.”

“Jim Buhrer of Refined Renovations offers incredible vision, efficient execution, and an exquisite design sense and attention to detail that is truly beyond compare. After listening to us talk about the many possibilities for our addition, Jim provided us focus and a fabulous concept for our new master bedroom suite. He collaborated with us and an architect to ensure a solid plan, and in a few short months, Jim and his team built the addition over our garage that blends as if it has always been a part of the house. While the entire Refined Renovations team was professional and efficient, it was Jim’s creativity and wonderful design sense that enabled us to realize our dream of a casually sophisticated sanctuary that is simply elegant.”

“I have hired Dane three times to handle different projects, including a personally challenging one following a fire. In a stressful time, his consideration and tact went a long way toward making a difficult process endurable. Dane takes the time to understand a clients needs and desires but is not afraid to push the envelope to create a design that is some much more exciting than I would have envisioned on my own. He has an excellent grasp of how to bring together different elements into a cohesive and fun design. I love his choices in color, furniture and wall coverings.”

“Janet Shea has recently completed a project for us which included a family room which is 25' x 25' and an attached mudroom approximately 8' x 16. Janet was involved from the first day of this project meeting with the architect and builder along with my husband and I. Her suggestions were used by the professionals who have great respect for her knowledge not only of the interior design but the construction of the rooms. Through the last year she has guided us through countless decisions which included fireplace design, flooring, furniture and its placement, paint color, art work and window treatments Janet was always available to us and on scene when anything was being installed which was a great comfort. She always had a good grasp of just what we wanted, when sometimes we weren't sure ourselves! We are are so pleased with the outcome of this room! It's beautiful and comfortable and perfect for our family! Eileen and Bill Cox”

“I hired Eleven Interiors for the redesign, renovation and furnishings of my condo in Boston and was so impressed with the result that I I hired them again just for a complete renovation of my antique home on Cape Cod two years later. I was as pleased with the second experience and results as I was with the first. I plan to hire this firm in the near future for a new project.”

“Sashya was hired to help us design the basement of our house (appx 1800 sq feet). She has previously worked with us with our interior design of our house and had done an excellent job. She not only designed the basement but also helped us with the contruction process. She adds a lot of details to her work which makes it easy for the contruction process and shows attention to minor details which adds quality. She is respectful of our time and budget and gives us options to stay within our limits for both. She has a friendly personality which makes it easier to work with and fun during the project. I would highly recommend her to anyone who would like to do any design or architect work big or small.”
