TESTIMONIALS
Clients love their new spaces.
We are so happy to have found Alexa, Victoria & Catherine! They are amazing! They did an extensive amount of work on our house (every room and the outside, too!), and we are thrilled with the outcome. We cannot recommend AHR Designs enough. Your house will be transformed into a beautiful, livable, comfortable yet elegant place to live. They are talented, kind, and extremely creative. Do not hesitate. They’re the best!
Alexa developed a design and color scheme which utilized my existing furniture, updating my living room, dining room, and hall to make them brighter and more contemporary. She had ideas I never would have thought of on my own!
Our journey with Alexa started over 2 years ago. We presented her with a complex and large whole house renovation, 3 strong personalities with differing tastes, and a budget.
She was working with us at a time in the world where nothing was certain and EVERYTHING had delays. She knew our timeline and immediately put us in front of everything that could be problematic. Our renovation never had to wait on a design decision or order to arrive.
She gently but firmly kept us moving ahead with our timeline while being extremely collaborative with us in listening to our likes and dislikes.
Alexa created a home for us that obviously has the AHR stamp but is also uniquely representative of each member of my family. We love the AHR team.
We recently moved out of a large home we lived in for 35 years. We always did our own decorating but it took 35 years to complete. We wanted our new home ready quickly and wanted to use 95% of the furniture and artwork we already had. Alexa was exactly what we needed. She was happy to incorporate the old with some exciting new items. She embraced and encouraged our quirky, eclectic taste while subduing some of our wilder ideas. She was sensitive to budget and pleased to change things that didn’t work. Alexa is available whenever we need her and is a pleasure to work with.
Alexa is an absolute dream to work with! We hired her for two separate projects and she exceeded our expectations on both. For one project, in addition to decorating, she also consulted on the construction of our addition and designed our custom made built-in unit. She approaches your project like you are her only client and comes ready with amazing ideas. She has a keen eye for what will work in a space and at times when I questioned things, I put my faith in her expertise and she was always right. She works within your budget and has the ability to combined high end items with great finds from HomeGoods. Not only is she an amazing decorator but she is an amazing person – you will want to hang out with her and be friends!! And that’s important when you will be spending so much time together. I have recommended her to many friends who have hired her and feel they same way….she is a gem!!
I am so grateful to have been introduced to Alexa. Not only does she have impeccable taste, but she is practical – which as someone with three kids and a dog – I need! Alexa has an incredible ability to infuse your point of you with her design elements. I was amazed at her first presentation how much I liked everything she chose and was able to tie together my existing home aesthetic with the new rooms. Working with Alexa has been such an enjoyable and positive experience. She manages and coordinates every step of the project and is always responsive to any question.
Alexa of AHR made our renovation and redecoration possible! She “project managed” to make sure we decided on everything from tile and lighting to faucets and knobs to kitchen cabinets and granite before our contractors needed those decisions. In my absence, she interfaced with the contractors and subcontractors, she prepared and distributed the “paint plan” to the painters, she even accepted deliveries for me! She shopped for and with me, steering me in the right direction for couches, tables, pillows, carpet, paint, and more. Alexa recommended people to build cabinets, stitch curtains, and hang drapes. She saved me from “boiling the ocean” by presenting me with a few well-considered options and in those rare instances where I didn’t love them, she cheerfully tried again until we were happy with the selection. As an example of her accomplishments, it’s worth noting that visitors invariably compliment us on our guest bathroom, every component of which was selected by Alexa. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
“Alexa helped us with a tricky living room. While we talked to others, Alexa really listened to our thoughts, concerns and needs. She came up with a plan that was both practical and looked great. She picked fabrics for chairs, ordered furniture that was the correct scale, found us window treatments and kept us informed all along the way.
She saved us time dealing with all the overwhelming choices, colors and patterns out there.
We are so pleased and can’t recommend her enough.”
Looking for an interior designer who listens to what you want, stays in budget and clearly communicates? Then you need to hire Alexa from AHR Designs for your next project! After doing a major house renovation I needed help on the layout and design of my living room – I was tapped out on making decisions and looked to her for amazing style and expertise. Alexa was an absolute pleasure to work with during the selection process, ordering and delivery delays. My living room is now a beautiful and VERY comfortable (let me say that again – very comfortable) space for my family. I can not wait until I tackle the next room because I know I will have Alexa as a partner in design.
“Alexa helped us on a massive renovation of our 1908 Victorian home- including helping to select tiles, soft finishes, furniture and decor for the kitchen, mudroom, powder room, living room, dining room, kids bathroom, laundry room, and daughters bedroom.
She made it easy and fun and not stressful in any way. Once she understood my style and what I liked, she narrowed down choices and presented them to me for easy decisions and ran interference on a lot of things I never had to worry about. She also bridged the gap between me and my (sometimes) over-involved husband and his choices.
Would highly recommend her!” gain in a heartbeat.”
“AHR helped us through every step of the design process- lighting, tile, furniture and decor- of our new home.
Alexa was a pleasure to work with and her ideas were perfect for the modern beach look we were seeking. She is well organized and did a great job of keeping our project on track.
We would recommend her to anyone for jobs large and small.”
“AHR designs was fantastic! Alexa’s taste is impeccable and she does an amazing job of working to understanding her clients’ taste. She can always find the perfect piece that absolutely makes the room – and always within budget!
Alexa combines tremendous artistic talent with a keen practical sense. We couldn’t be more pleased with the vision and execution she brought to our new home!!!!”
We are mid-project, but thus far Alexa has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Her designs are creative and inspired; we are certain we will love our new spaces!
“We used AHR Designs when we were moving from the city to the suburbs and totally overwhelmed with how we could use pieces we had, work with a new space/more room, while also buying new quality items. I’m so lucky I stumbled upon AHR on Houzz because after our first meeting we walked away feeling like she just “got us.” We were hesitant to even use an interior designer because we thought we could do it ourselves, but Alexa was a godsend.
She is a true design expert, but beyond that, she is hilarious, warm, creative, open minded, organized and actually made our experience stress free and FUN. She never pushed purchases, stayed 100% within our budget, and was completely receptive to feedback. We were very impressed with the knowledge and ease with which she worked with our contractor on the gut kitchen renovation.
We are beyond thrilled with how our spaces turned out – we still get compliments on them every time a new person comes to the house. We can not recommend AHR Designs and Alexa highly enough!”
