Feng Shui Design in Old Saybrook.

“Anna is a good listener, makes you feel very comfortable and easy to talk about ideas if you are unsure of what you wantand, at the same time adds her good ideas! The choice of colors, style and texture made my home exactly how I wanted, but I did not know how to get there. She has an easy going team of contractors that also works hard and on time.

“We worked with Hartley & Hill Design to completely renovate and redesign our kitchen last summer. They were fantastic and we cannot say enough about how wonderful they were. We met with them and described the concepts that we wanted (functional and classic, keeping in mind that we like to entertain, but we have small children and a busy family life). They put together the design and sat down with us to explain their ideas very thoroughly and also run through the budget. They came up with a fantastic design that we never would have thought possible, incorporating very creative ideas, while still keeping in mind our budget as well as our personal preferences. It was a very collaborative process, with us being as involved as we wanted to be, but not feeling like we had to manage a project; they expertly managed the project for us! All of the subcontractors they hired were first class. The renovation was very well organized, there was consistent open communication, any hiccups along the way (as will happen in any project this size) were managed smoothly and effectively. Needless to say, we are thrilled with the end result. We can't wait to use them again soon to redesign our dining room/living room area. We would highly recommend them!”

“This is a great designer. She has wonderful ideas, color concepts and fantastic subcontractors. She is timely, conscientious and fantastic to work with. I would recommend her for projects large and small, commercial or residential.”

“Marie of Rie & Co. was such a great help to us! She helped us make a range of color and design decisions as we updated our back deck and front entryway. She was super responsive, collaborative, and quick to share back ideas and photos to help us visualize our options.”

“I highly recommend Julians Interiors for ANY design/decoration project. You will never be disappointed and I guarantee you will be thrilled with the results. The entire Julians team is professional, highly knowledgable and very creative. They have always met my deadlines and budgets and work well with all subcontractors. In fact I would say you should hire Julians before you are ready to decorate. On multiple projects of mine, Julians has worked with the main contractor/architect to make changes to plans and projects that made significant improvements to the overall design and function of the spaces. On one specific project in a guest house, I wanted to move a wall to make the room bigger. I was told that that wall couldn't be moved by the contractor. I brought in Julians to work with the contractor and Julie herself was able to explain to the contractor how to move the wall and solve the design problems this would create. The end result looked amazing. Julie is able to work with the most ornery contractor to make changes that improve the design and convince him that he made a good decision! She is magic! The money you spend hiring the professionals at Julians is worth every cent. There is so much creative energy that is spent on every design that you will be amazed how much attention you get. Julians is now decorating my third home. I would never use any other designer. My homes are completely different: New England center-hall colonial, 250 year-old farmhouse with separate buildings and a beach house on the water. The designs are completely different and all amazing. Projects Julians has done for me range from simple kitchen, bathroom and room updates, to complete kitchen rip out and redesign and gutting a 200 year-old cottage and rebuilding/redesigning it with only the original beams and fireplace standing. My only advice is TRUST Julie's design decisions. You will not be disappointed. If she says it will good great and is the right thing to do, it will look AMAZING and you will LOVE it.”

“Having now worked with Kim over the course of several months I cannot say enough of how awesome it has been to work with her. Kim is attentive, detailed, highly professional, flexible, reasonable, and mostly and AMAZING designer!! She started by asking us lots of questions to get an idea of what we liked; styles, colors, etc. From there we moved to wall colors and room color palettes. Lastly, we moved to the furnishings for each room. During each step Kim made sure we were happy with the decisions we made, especially the wall colors. Kim is extremely efficient and helpful. She works with your schedule and always has a plan B! We are beyond thrilled in having chosen to work with Kim! We will be working with her again when we start finishing our basement and I can’t wait!”

“Mariana was our designer for a complete house renovation in 2016/17. She designed our entire home, mixing in some of our existing furniture with many amazing new items she was able to find at reasonable prices. She has a great designers eye and style, is incredibly hard working and responsive. She is wired into the community and has great recommendations for virtually anything we needed. She is also just a very good person whom we very much enjoyed working with. I would highly recommend her for any project.”

“Great sense of style and design. She listens and responds to her client's needs. Her attention to detail is superb and will work hard to make sure it is exactly what the project demands.”

“I've worked with Reiko several times over the years. Reiko has a knack for listening to her client's needs and design tastes and then creating their beautiful environment. This was a master bedroom renovation and Reiko was able to help me achieve the beautiful, restful retreat I had in mind. Reiko was also respectful of my budget and timeline. I now have the bedroom of my dreams and must admit I spend more time in that room, reading and relaxing than the rest of my house!”
