MODCLAIR

Anthony and Ramel are excellent. We started with an different designer when we started the renovation of our mid-century modern house, and were underwhelmed and uninspired by the choices they showed us. At a friend's recommendation, we went to Modclair. They were tremendous -- creative, responsive, easy to work with. They understood our vision for the house and helped us not only to realize it, but to go beyond it. They showed us many options, were open to our ideas and suggestions, but -- very importantly -- told us when we were going in the wrong direction. Great design sense, great partners, easy to work with, all resulting in a beautiful home. As easy to live in as it is beautiful to show. Highly recommended.

**MUST READ - you'll never have to look again** I'm a first time time reviewer and beyond proud to break the seal with my first review for Modclair. We've worked with many designers in the past, and we've paid them a lot of money, and in the end, they have all fallen short for one reason or another. Never have we EVER worked with such a devoted team of professional designers/business owners. Ramel has an outstanding eye for function and flair without compromising the classiness, Lana is so perceptive to her client's needs and somehow knows when and how to bring balance to keep us unblocked, and Anthony is so organized and does a great job making it all run smoothly. Over the last year, we have entrusted this A-team with: 1) converting our Living Room into a gathering space that is warm and welcoming, manages to seat a LOT of people and somehow make it scream smart elegance and sophistication. We asked for hotel lobby chic and boy did we get it. 2) taking our dining room, a room that was used maybe once each year and was a complete waste of space, and converting it into a lounge with a bar, a cool sitting area AND a multifunction table where the family can eat meals and I can still play card games with my friends. Since then we have used it daily. A truly magical room that manages to convert anyone who lays their eyes on it. 3) My powder room and foyer are currently in progress but sadly the timeline to implement has been hijacked by COVID-19. I personally found these rooms to be the most frustrating to work through, but not once did the team lose patience with me. When the foyer is complete, I have no doubt that I will smile every time I walk into my home. As for my powder room, classy all the way, and what I expect to be an "experience" every time it is used (what a treat!). What I love so much about this team is that they take the time to explain their thinking behind each design recommendation so that I understand. I even find myself applying their same concepts to follow-on projects which makes our collaboration "almost" effortless but always enjoyable. Over time, I realize I have completely bought into their design methodology which ultimately makes me feel like my money is well spent. I have yet to feel any buyer's remorse and to be honest, I don't expect that would ever happen with this team. They choose to source from quality companies that build quality products but always with our budget in mind. They never pressure us, they never intimidate us, they never lose patience with us, and these are all reasons we have chosen to, over time, hand every room in our home over to them. Since meeting them, not once have we even considered working with another company/design (and let me add, we abandoned the last 5 design companies we worked with over the last 6 years, and paid a lot of money to, and not once do I regret those decisions). If you decide to do business with Modclair, you are making an investment, not a purchase. An investment in pieces that are so high quality they are sure to last a lifetime, a newly designed space that is so functional it actually enhances your relationships, where decisions come with so much meaning and purpose the end result literally improves your quality of life. By choosing to do business with Modclair, you are being welcomed into a family that is guaranteed to transform your life.... if you allow it to.

Ramel and Anthony are the best! They've done the design of every room in our new home and we are thrilled with the results. They brought color and interesting pieces into our home and encouraged us to take design risks that we're very happy with. They're also a ton of fun to work with!

It was such a great experience working with Anthony and Ramel at Modclair. From the start, they were both warm and friendly while being incredibly responsive and considerate of our taste, budget, and preferences when we moved into our home. They guided us in many rooms of our home to determine the layouts, furniture, and details that would help to create a design that allowed a finished product, while still remaining true to our taste, that was exciting and inviting. They were a true pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them!

I bought a condo and had no idea how to design or furnish the space. Modclair was excellent on both fronts. They expertly navigated my tastes, functional needs and budget and presented me with plenty of options. They also made great recommendations for services they do not directly supply such as paint (and choosing paint colors!) and window treatments. I had been dreading the process and they alleviated my stress and made the process enjoyable. I am beyond thrilled with the end result and I cannot recommend these guys more highly.

For years, we waffled over furniture decisions. We thought we knew what we liked, but we had a hard time committing, and when we did, about 50% of the time we were happy and the other 50% of the time we were not thrilled, or worse—regretful. Enter Anthony and Ramel. We met them when we moved to Montclair and discovered MODClair. We've been working with them for over a year now, slowly furnishing and decorating our house, and we are 100% more than satisfied with everything they've done. They listen to us, work within our budget, give us amazingly beautiful options, and are super fun to hang out with. Anthony and Ramel have done our dining room, living room, family room, sunroom, and master bedroom. They have designed rooms from scratch in some cases and have worked with pieces we wanted to keep in others. They're flexible, knowledgeable, and have impeccable taste. We (and our kids) love visiting MODClair to catch up with Anthony and Ramel and they're always adding beautiful and unexpected items to the store. If there were 1000 starts in this rating system, we'd give them to Anthony and Ramel.

I cannot say enough great things about Anthony and Ramel, the owners/designers of their fabulous shop, Modclair in Montclair NJ. It all started with a couch. My husband and I had been looking for a new, living room couch for nearly a year when we discovered Modclair, and in it, our dynamite new sectional. We'd planned on painting and doing a few other upgrades as well, and when Anthony and Ramel showed us some of the rooms and houses they've transformed, we were super excited to work with them on ours. They took our tastes, budget, and timeline seriously and made all of it work with ease. We have two kids and a large, shedding dog to contend with and were able to curate items that are chic, yet fun and family friendly. To make a long story short, we can't believe how fabulous our living room and den look. We look forward to working with them again when it's time to upgrade the dining groom and downstairs bathroom. Can't wait!

Ramel and Anthony have been a pleasure to work with. They have a wonderful sense of style and are open minded when listening to the goals of the project. Ramel and Anthony are patient, honest and truly professional. They have gone above and beyond what we would have expected. A trip to their store is always a treat, even for our kids! We love all of the work they have done in our home and look forward to working with them again in the near future.

Anthony & Ramel couldn't have been of more help with designing our new apartment! Their store is filled with gorgeous unique pieces that are not easy to find at just any furniture store. They're very passionate about what they do, therefore, very knowledgeable for their clients. I admire the relaxed atmosphere they've created for their customers to feel at ease when it comes to big decision making... Most awesome duo to work with, I'll always feel welcome at Modclair!! Can't wait to be back for more.

I have had the greatest experience in this store and with the professionals that work there. They are amazing and such a pleasure to work with. They really help to come up with ideas and have amazing suggestions on how to use your space and what to get. They are very resourceful, respectful to your ideas and visions. They are truly incredible to work with you really must visit the store! They have amazing pieces that are wonderful in quality and style, almost one of a kind. The store is incredibly unique and has a wonderful vibe, better than any furniture store that I have ever been in. Must visit to see how incrdblie the store and the staff are cannot rave enough about them!

Love the guys at Modclair! Ramel and Anthony are very talented at what they do. I don't have a great sense to putting things together but they certainly helped me create a vision I was looking for. They are very punctual and are always keeping you up to date with time frames. Also very understanding when you want to make some changes. Our livingroom got furnished pretty quick after finalizing our agreement too. I highly recommend Ramel and Anthony if you're looking into investing into your space of choice.

Anthony and Ramel have exquisite taste! They have helped us with our daughter's room, our master bedroom, a guest room, and our foyer. So far, we are extremely happy with the outcomes! Anthony and Ramel are responsive, cooperative, and flexible. They are willing to work with any budget and even willing to consult on products outside of their vendors. I would highly recommend these two for any future home project you might be considering!
