About Us

Being a 3-D Rendering Specialist, she is able to design and create 3-D photo-realistic renderings to aid her clients in visualizing their future project, before construction ever begins, which decreases 'change orders' during construction. Margaret’s approach to design is characterized by warmth and informality, which sets the stage for comfortable and engaging client meetings. She attributes her success and the high rate of returning clients to her exceptional ability to listen deeply to her clients and their dreams. By translating their visions into innovative designs, she consistently exceeds expectations and creates spaces that truly resonate with her clients. Margaret's personal design style is inspired by nature, with a unique blend of simplicity, comfort, & beauty. Margaret is able to bring the 'outside in' & create sophisticated, yet undeniably fresh designs. By channeling her clients' passions, desires & interests, she designs livable & timeless reflections of their individual styles. Margaret aspires to deliver her clients' dreams by focusing on the quality of the space rather than its quantity. Inspired by the essence of the seashore, Margaret captures the allure of Coastal Blues in her designs through a palette of maritime blues and dune-grass greens. She mimics the light-hearted airiness of a cool summer breeze by incorporating soothing hues, crisp whites & beautiful splashes of inspirational colors. Her designs are reminiscent of a relaxing lifestyle or a spa-like retreat that her clients look forward to coming home to. Margaret uses this color palette when she designs commercial & residential bathrooms & bedrooms. Her use of warm whites blended with rich stained finishes abounds in her kitchen designs. She harmoniously blends the flooring, intriguing countertops & tiles to enhance the pleasure of cooking seamlessly.

Margaret was amazing and her talent is definitely on display in her work. Renderings were very detailed and captured the many options that we had discussed. Very honest and straightforward and would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a home remodel project.

HU-47413580

I recently collaborated with Margaret Volney on a remodel and expansion project for my new house, and I am thrilled to share my experience. What truly set Margaret apart was her ability to create stunning, photo-realistic 3-D renderings that brought my vision to life. Prior to construction, Margaret presented design solutions via 3-D renderings, she developed floor plans, and assisted in selecting cabinetry, lighting, plumbing, etc. Once the decisions were made, Margaret supplied my contractor with remodel floor plans, lighting plans, and plumbing plans, based on my final decisions. Margaret's 3D renderings allowed me to visualize my future space with astonishing clarity and detail, empowering me to make confident and informed decisions throughout the project. Furthermore, Margaret's attentiveness to how my family and I function within our home was truly exceptional. She took the time to consider our lifestyle and preferences, incorporating practical solutions that enhanced the functionality of our home while maintaining its aesthetic appeal. In conclusion, I highly recommend Margaret for her remarkable ability to understand my vision while infusing it with innovative ideas and practical solutions, and presenting the ideas via amazing 3-D renderings. Her keen eye for detail and deep understanding of design principles ensured that every aspect of the project was meticulously planned and executed. If you are considering a design project and want to visualize your future space in breathtaking detail, look no further than Margaret Volney with Blue Envelope Designs!

Comment from Margaret Volney Designs, LLC:

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for taking the time to leave such a glowing 5-star review of my interior design skills and services. Your kind words mean the world to me, and I'm thrilled that the 3-D renderings gave you the confidence to move forward on converting your spare room and unused porch into a new highly functional space. Just like photos, 3-D renderings tell a thousand words, especially prior to construction!
It was an absolute pleasure working with you on your interior design project, and I'm delighted that you're happy with the results. Your satisfaction is always my top priority, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to creating a space that reflects your vision and style.
Thank you once again for your generous feedback and for entrusting me with your project. If you ever need assistance with future projects or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always available to help in any way I can.

I really appreciated that Margaret listened but also comprehend exactly what I wanted. That graphics of the project helped to see and understand what the finished project would look like. Thank you for listening!!!

Comment from Margaret Volney Designs, LLC:

Thank you, Kathleen, that's fantastic to hear!
Visualizing a space through 3D renderings can be incredibly helpful for planning and designing spaces. Whether you're designing a new home, renovating an existing space, or, as in your project, adding an addition, 3D renderings can provide a clear picture of what the final result will look like! Thank you again, Margaret

Jennifer

Not only did Margaret do extensive research to learn more about sound abatement, she became an expert. She helped us to tackle two issues, a big sound issue and lack of décor and function in our space. Margaret cheerfully showed us a path to get what we needed, while being fully aware of our budget restraints. We can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Margaret! :)

July 25, 2022

Comment from Margaret Volney Designs, LLC:

Thank you so much Jennifer! I really enjoyed working with you and your board members on your exciting project! I'm glad the photo-realistic 3-D renderings proved to be the perfect segway to illustrate all of the options available while also ensuring that everyone could see the various products in the actual space. I can't wait for the next project! Thank you, Margaret

HU-306957

Margaret was very patient working with us. She gave us several options for each area to choose from, most with ideas we never even imagined would work. Margaret is a perfectionist- there are things we didn't notice, but she pointed them out and made sure they were just right. She will stay with you through the whole project, no matter how long it lasts, to make sure everything is the way you want. This was our second project with Margaret and we are very happy with the results of both.

Comment from Margaret Volney Designs, LLC:

Thank you so very much! You are exactly right; I really do enjoy starting a project on paper, working through all of the options, working through the cabinetry, and appliance options, and then seeing the entire project come to fruition. Thank you for letting me be a part of your kitchen renovation journey! Cheers, Margaret

Margaret Volney is a meticulous and detail oriented Interior Designer. She incorporates her Masters degree Interior design education, her experience to listen to the vague concepts expressed by her clients in order to create a unique vision. She then utilizes computer technology to generate graphics thereby allowing her clients to see exactly what the renovation and color coordination would look like in its final phase before construction begins. Her measurements are exact thus enabling the general contractor to efficiently and effectively bring that vision to life. We have used Margaret on two large custom projects in our home. We have been thrilled with the final outcome with each project.

Comment from Margaret Volney Designs, LLC:

Thank you for tooting my horn! You really summarized the way I work through all of my projects; I truly do listen to my clients, while accessing their needs, desires, and capabilities and then analyzing all collected data to create solutions that will improve their quality of life through innovation, ease of motion and functionality of the new space. Although there were several options presented, you really stuck with the process, and worked through all the steps, resulting in a very successful and absolutely beautiful new kitchen! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Margaret

Helen Frederick

I got this Designer from the Houzz website. Was hesitant due to not having a word of mouth referral but soon found I needn't have wondered. I have never worked with an Interior Designer before so had no idea what to expect. She did allay my fears and nervousness. She was (is) good to work with. She was always punctual which is a good start. A multitude of questions and conversation to learn about what we want and what we were looking for. On subsequent visits she always came prepared with presentation scenarios or ideaboards to help us actually visualize what Our room could/would look like. At first it was the floor plans choice with placement of what pieces were staying and what was new. Then onto fabric samples in wonderful, varied books of color and designs. Finally ideaboards with pictorial visions of our room itself with carpets, pillows, the works. Options galore. And variety in looks. We didn't end up with a choice of the same feel in different colors. We were very pleased with the results. She brought the ideas to what we wanted, not what she wanted and made the process enjoyable. At each phase we were excited at where we were in the process but also we were excited about what was coming up next. Our room itself is not complete, a work in progress but, thanks to Margaret, we almost know what it will look like and we are well on our way. Having gone thru this process to date, for future areas the thing that I would change is perhaps having the choice of 3 designs to start out and if none of them worked I would go on from there. For us there would be less confusion (we have a hard time making decisions I guess. Too many good choices.) and it might save a bit of money. All this being said, we have more house for Margaret to work on when we are done with this area. The sky's the limit in her hands. Will happily submit photos when it's all complete.

Comment from Margaret Volney Designs, LLC:

Helen Thank you so much for your kind words! You and your husband have been a pleasure to work with throughout your project. I can't wait to see your Japanese paneled screen hanging on your dining room wall! It will be an amazing focal point for your dining room, as well as for your family room. I am glad the color renderings, of your family room, successfully assisted you in visualizing your new space with the fabrics and cabinetry you selected. Thank you again for allowing me to assist you and I look forward to working with you on future projects. Margaret

King's Chandelier Company

We had such an enjoyable experience working with Margaret on custom sconces. She specified a pair of sconces that would compliment the existing antique chandelier in the client's home. Working from photos and Margaret's very clear and knowledgeable instructions, we were able to surpass all of our expectations. We are always grateful for customers like Margaret - she was clear, decisive and talented. She definitely knew how she wanted these sconces to look and they were gorgeous! She was an amazing advocate for her client's wishes. N Daniel King's Chandelier Co.

Nicole Willis

I would highly recommend Margaret Volney to decorate anyone’s space. She listened to the ideas I had that were a little out of the box, but she made them work. She used items I had in my home that meant something to me and helped me display them in a way that made them meaningful and beautiful. On top of all that, she made the process fun!

October 25, 2019

Comment from Margaret Volney Designs, LLC:

Hi Nicole! You know how much fun I always have when we are working together on one of your interesting and creative projects! I love thinking outside of the box and designing unique elements for your beautiful home. Taking items that bring you great joy from your childhood and repurposing them in a creative way to be used or displayed throughout your home is the perfect way to always be surrounded by love and joy. I have attached a couple of photos of your grandmother's china displayed artfully on your dining room accent wall and your great-grandmother's bed and vanity up-cycled into a beautiful bench and side table. Thank you again and I can't wait for the next project! Margaret

Rae Burns

Boo has done an exceptional job in transforming my dream into reality. She was attentive to what we needed and wanted and attuned to our lifestyle and likes and dislikes. She is talented in many ways and works well with all members of the family. I highly recommend Boo for all your decorating needs.....large and small.

I have referred Margaret to many of my clients. She carefully listens to their needs and wants. She has a great eye and is full of great ideas. Margaret is also able to do CAD renderings to show what your space will look like. You can’t go wrong with Blue Envelope Designs.

Comment from Margaret Volney Designs, LLC:

Thank you so very much! I have thoroughly enjoyed working with all of your clients that you have referred to me for their design needs. I too have been so fortunate to know that I have a reliable and trustworthy source to refer my clients who are in need of organizing their homes. I truly cherish and value our working relationship and I look forward to many years of working together addressing the needs of our clients in the future. Thank you! Margaret

Comment from Margaret Volney Designs, LLC:

Thank you so much Nancy. It is a pleasure working with you both professional creating amazing live-edge tables for my clients, and most recently personally, on your post-flood/Hurricane Florence renovation. Although it has been a tough time for all of us recovering from the damage, you have had such a positive outlook and been a ray of sunshine to work with. I am glad that the 3-D renderings I was able to create for you allowed you to visualize the possibilities for your new kitchen, amidst all of the flood-damaged tear-out that you were living with. Thank you again! Margaret
