Wayne, NJ Color Consulting Professionals

“After working with a different kitchen designer who listened to me and what I wanted and then gave me a cookie cutter design, Karen was exactly what we needed. She listened to our ideas, likes and dislikes and then worked with the cabinet guys, contractor and subcontractors and brought it to life. Her attention to detail and eye for color and design took challenging spaces and made them into beautiful working spaces. The project involved gutting a very small guest bathroom with a tub and turning it into a clean bright modern bathroom with a shower. The kitchen part of the project involved taking down a wall between the kitchen and breakfast nook and incorporating part of a hall into an eat-in kitchen that knocks everyone's socks off! We started off with basic ideas of what we wanted in color and layout, but couldn't have gotten to the finished product without her. Time spent shopping with her allowed her to get to know what we liked. She would come back with tile or fabric ideas that we could collaborate and narrow down into what would work in the design. Her budget projections were on target. She was good at meeting deadlines, even if contractors were not always cooperative. She was good at following up with them to push them back on target.”

“We have worked with Barbara for the past few years, and find her a design professional of the highest caliber. Her interior designs are meticulous, thought through, yet highly livable. A seasoned, experienced and knowledgeable professional, she listens carefully to her clients, and interprets their taste and desires into dream interiors incorporating inventive colors, textures, and style. In sourcing art for her clients, she conveys the vision for the space, allowing us to understand the project, and find the perfect art for the client's home or office, while respecting their taste and budget. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and client-centric focus promotes a collaborative, productive working relationship.”

“I have worked with Deborah Leamann off and on for twenty years. Her creativity and professionalism never ceases to amaze me. Deborah's color sense and great taste makes her work stand apart from all others.I would highly recommend her.”

“Karla Trincanello is an amazing designer that I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with. Over the years I have worked with many designers and Karla stands out as a favorite. She tunes in to each client and creates a vision that is custom to that client's style and personality. This you can see by all the wonderful pictures of her work. What you don't see is her keen business sense that manages each project. This is where not all designers are created equal. When I worked on projects with her she was able to clearly communicate her vision and provided color pallette, inspiration, time lines and budget so that every last detail could be executed perfectly. A lot of time and money can be wasted if this is not done. I can't emphasize enough the value of hiring a qualified designer like Karla who has the ability to execute her designs seemingly effortlessly. I was spoiled to work with Karla early in my career and look forward to working with her again if I ever return to NJ.”

“Rachel managed all aspects of our office renovations. We are a busy pediatric office. She did everything! She initially came in to see what the current office looked like, recommended offices for us to look at, and then sat down with us to discuss what we did like and did not like. She observed the office/patient flow and made recommendations and well needed changes. She then presented a plan that we approved and took over everything from there. We gave her the freedom of color and design selection. Rachel's knowledge base and experience in this field was immediately evident. She hired contractors and managed the contractors that we and the building owner wanted to use. She was able to coordinate construction of all types while we were able to continue to see patients in the office. She was able to deal with three very different opinionated partners of the practice and many different employee opinions. She managed to remain within the budget she was given. We love the new look and have received high compliments from patient's parents. Some have walked into the office and then walked out, thinking they had entered the wrong office! Any delays where outside of her control. We highly recommend Rachel and look forward to working with her on future projects.”

“I hired apartmentjeanie to completely make over my tiny new rental in Manhattan. I had been living in a much bigger space in Queens before relocating to the East Village. My furniture seemed over sized and my need for bright, colorful and textured design seemed impossible in my new 350 square feet. Thanks to apartmentjeanie my furniture fits absolutely perfectly, bright colored walls and wallpaper were used to demarcate spaces in the junior one bedroom. apartmentjeanie is honestly a magician. Looking back at the photos I took before moving in, the place really looked tiny. But after the rental went under apartmentjeanie's touch it looks and feels so much more spacious and absolutely sophisticated. No longer a junior one bedroom rental but my glamorous and gorgeous home. I highly highly recommend apartmenthjeanie!!!!! She is creative, talented, and wonderful to work with.”

“We had a wonderful experience working with Betty on our loft apartment in New York. The proof is the compliments we receive on the design and overall aesthetic of our home. Betty did a great job of guiding us to towards a wide variety of color schemes and furniture options. As we have two young children and a dog, she was also very helpful at choosing kid-friendly and dog-friendly fabrics. Her relationships with various artists were also helpful to us in choosing art to complete our home.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Marina over the last 20 years on 4 houses. She has a marvelous eye for design and detail and is exceptionally talented in the area of color and scale. She has guided me in choosing the right material for beautiful, dramatic window treatments and making sure the installation went smoothly. She provided handsome custom slipcovers for my worn, but wonderful club chairs, suggested mixing and matching materials to create a one-of-a-kind ottoman, and reconfigured my furniture for better room flow. The Red Shutters has been a constant source for many beautiful items I treasure including rugs, paintings, furniture, and even jewelry. Marina is knowledgeable, professional and a delight to work with. I am delighted to recommend her services.”

“Victoria is one of the most brilliant, artistic designers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Her before and after photos of her staging projects take my breath away, I love looking at her work. Personally, she has been helping me with virtual redesign and redecorating of my home, and she has an incredible knack for color and texture. Her recommendations are fantastic. I don't have the designer "gene", so I must rely on capable designers to help me, and she is absolutely the best. Plus, she's an absolute delight to work with. Even remote consultations like my projects are really effective. She sent all kinds of creative sketches and drawings to help me visualize how things would look with various options. With boundless energy and passion for her work, she pours everything into helping her clients transform living spaces. Thank you Victoria for sharing your amazing gift for decorating with us!”

“Nancy assisted me in a redecoration of my entry foyer and stairways. She helped me choose a beautiful sophisticated carpet, lighting and furniture for the foyer and main stairs that complimented my existing decor. The carpet is now a focal point and I would never have had the vision or courage to choose this pattern without her. Every person who has entered my home since has commented on how elegant and welcoming my entry way is today. Nancy has an excellent eye for color, pattern and texture and is very professional to work with. Her support team of product and installation providers were also a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her!”
