“Color! Color! Color! As a creative director, the quality of my space means so much to me. Martina's understanding of color and design to convey mood is the best I have ever seen. She has helped me make my home both comfortable and exciting. I trust her completely; and I work with her whenever I can. It is a better world because Martina is in it! Sincerely, Deyna Detroit Vesey”

“Maggie is wonderful to work with. She follows your lead and helps you execute a vision that works with your lifestyle. She makes sure everything is done with taste. She has a great sense of proportion and color that helps you craft the rooms you want. She's also comfortable to spend time with and a pleasure to work with as a person.”

“I've been using Alex's design services since 2010 and have done many projects with her that I've been extremely happy with. She has transformed many rooms into comfortable and stylish spaces in a just few months, that I had been trying to finish on my own for years! Working with Alex is always a pleasure.”

“Stacy exceeded my expectations and stayed within my budget. She designed my 3-bedroom apartment from scratch and it looks amazing. Her approach was patient, flexible and creative. I already have plans on having her redesign the space for the Christmas holiday. I highly recommend StAr Design Studio to anyone looking for a interior designer.”

“Great service, they designed my kids bedroom and the color palette was amazing as well as the design. the communication with them is very smooth”

“Stefania did an excellent job of transforming our garden shed into an artistic living environment both inside and outside. She made our post and beam into a beautiful, comfortable, usable creative space to be in. Outside, Stef morphed living tress and shrubs into a usable space. I couldn't believe how organic our new space is. I love her work!”

“I strongly endorse Tara Benet for any residential or commercial project. I have worked with Tara over the past 5 years. She has designed and decorated my homes in New York and Florida, and my law offices in New York and Florida as well. Tara is extraordinarily talented. As you may know she is an artist who brings all of her incredible abilities to the decorative world. She creates a unique living and working space that brings much happiness and enjoyment. More than anything else, Tara creates livable and workable space that exudes positive energy. It is a special joy to work with her. I also want to emphasize that Tara's approach is iterative and collaborative. I never felt that she was trying to dictate design or creative ideas. Rather she listens and works with clients to find out what we want. I think this is a very unique and special style. Tara takes the time to talk to and understand client needs. She is also very careful to work within reasonable and realistic budgets. At the end of the process, I have always felt a special connection to the places I live and work in because I was brought into the creative process. As you can tell, I am a very big fan, and would be happy to talk to anyone who is thinking about hiring Tara. She is the very best and you will not be disappointed.”

“I entrusted Megan Grehl to transform my new NYC apartment into a beautiful, comfortable place to live. I desired a design that would reflect my personality and style - clean, contemporary, feminine, and soft. I really liked the mood boards since they helped me to imagine what my space could look like. Megan was receptive to my feedback and also addressed my specific needs, such as selecting custom black out blinds to provide almost complete darkness to improve my sleep. Megan did an excellent job designing my apartment with a neutral color scheme with just the right amount of feminine colors, accents and textures. I especially like the lighting she chose for the space. She really thought about how to make sure that the apartment was balanced and felt like a home, not a startup office. She also helped me decide in which pieces to invest and how I could save money in other areas. My apartment has become a place where I really enjoy spending time and relaxing. I was not an easy person to work with, so I appreciated the flexibility and patience that Megan and her team had when working with me. They were always available to be on site to help with the contractors. Megan was also available for video calls to go over ideas. It was my first time working with a professional designer for my home, and I am very pleased with the results of the project and working with Megan and her team.”

“Lucy is wonderful to work with. She tailors the design to your tastes and comfort level--and then gives you a little push to something you never would have thought of, but love once she has done. I'm very happy with the final outcome.”

“Alexa was such a pleasure to work with. Alexa helped me pick kid-friendly furnishings that made our den casual, but quite elegant. She is extremely knowledgeable about a wide range of products and detail-oriented. She helped me figure out what I was looking for when I wasn't exactly sure. Alexa was conscientious of my budget, fun and smart to work with, and her design ideas are truly beautiful. The den is amazing now and certainly the coziest room in the house. We get tons of compliments!”
