Universal Designers in Lakewood

“My family needed more space and a new kitchen. Giuliani Builders extended the back of the home with a family room and updated the kitchen. A new outside deck was added. Dan was honest and straightforward. My family and I are very pleased with his work. Thanks Matt”

“Courtney was very courteous, knowledgeable, and patient. She continues to answer all of my questions and has walked me through the design and build process step by step.”

“We can’t say enough about the amazing way Alison renovated our 1960’s house from an outdated design that did not meet our needs to a beautifully functional design that we now love! We renovated our kitchen and two bathrooms, which can be a daunting task when the situation seems hopeless and you don’t know where to start. Alison brought a holistic approach to the design, creating a functional space that was consistent with the period of the house. She made sure the design worked well with the adjacent space, and helped us with every detail along the way including selection of tile, plumbing fixtures, flooring, appliances, etc… Our kitchen and our master bath were both extremely space challenged and very dated. Somehow Alison found space where there wasn't any before. Our master bath was a postage stamp sized cubicle with a closet style shower and 1960s green tile. Alison had the vision to expand that space into an adjacent closet while maximizing our other closet space in the master bedroom. She designed a beautiful walk-in shower with waterfall tiling and a new expanded vanity, which allows my wife and I to use the bathroom at the same time. We now have an expansive walk-in closet in our master bedroom without sacrificing significant space in the master bedroom. Our kitchen may have been even more of a challenge than our bathroom and the changes that Alison made completely transformed the functionality and beauty of the kitchen. We started with a 1960's galley kitchen with original cabinets, very limited storage space, an undersized oven, and laminated countertops that were space constrained with our microwave and other appliances. Cooking together in our old kitchen was an impossible task as we were constantly bumping into each other. Alison's vision for our kitchen included bumping out the kitchen wall adjacent to our dining room and using the space where the wall had been for new gas cooktop, serving area and additional cabinets. The dining room side of the expansion now includes beautiful glass cabinets that display our formal china. Alison totally reorganized the flow of the kitchen to allow several people to work in the kitchen comfortably. She expanded the entrance from our living room into the kitchen giving it a much more open feel. We now have over twice the amount of cabinet space we previously had and numerous features that make the kitchen far more functional. We are extremely grateful to Alison for make our home so much warmer and more beautiful.”

“Amazing! That's the best word to describe Batel as a designer. She was so knowledgable and fantastic and made the entire process smooth and painless and gave me a gorgeous kitchen I love to be in and work. It is the center point of the house and I constantly get compliments and asked who did it for me. I highly recommend her!”

“We hired Primiano Architecture to design an addition for our house. We had no experience dealing with an architect or doing a home improvement project of this magnitude. Primiano Architecture was recommended to us by an acquaintance. From our first meeting with Joe we knew he was the right person. He was honest, intelligent and most importantly he listened and made suggestions. It was a true partnership. Joe worked closely with us throughout design, township approval, choosing a contractor and final approval. We could not be any happier with how the project turned out. I would give Primiano Architecture 4 out 4 stars and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for an architect.”

“Hired to do window treatments in a brand new home. Donna was very easy to work with. Great personality, patient and able to convert my desires into reality (which was no easy task!). She worked within my budget which kept my husband happy too. I love the end product and would use Donna again in a heartbeat and heartily recommend her.”

“Beyond modern interiors was fantastic to have decorate my apartment. They were reliable, hard working, very responsive and did a beautiful job. Would highly recommend to others.”

“After meeting with a few different designers, I met Jen. She was great to work with. She makes what can be an overwhelming process easy and fun. She has a great eye for design but also cares a great deal about function. We had a fabulous experience and our kitchen is drop dead gorgeous!”

“Working with Vera Bahou of Designhaus is a joy! Vera has a great design sense and provides solutions for her clients that are practical as well as beautiful. This is a first rate Interior Design company.”

“I have had the privilege of working with Yalena Gertz (Decorating Den Interiors) on several projects. I have seen her transform a space from Drab to Fab and enjoy every moment of the task! Not only is she super talented at what she does ... she has a way with her clients that makes them feel as confident as she is, that the room will come together perfectly. She works so hard to provide just the right feeling in a space with style and class!”
