"Great! It was so easy to make decisions about carpet, upholstery, and windows because Tess picked out items I loved and that complemented the rest of the first floor. I really appreciated that she set reasonable deadlines and met them. And her design sense is superb."

"Susan is remarkable. She will work with anything that may already be in the house, as well as your budget for a project. She provides so many great ideas about space, but also lets you choose how you want to proceed. Susan is extremely collaborative and I really, really enjoyed working with her. I absolutely love the spaces she greatly assisted me in designing. Itâ s EXACTLY what I didnâ t even know I wanted! Sheâ s amazing!"

"iCornerstone was a great PARTNER in helping design our project. Richard Connolly was outstanding and understood our needs and concerns and put all those goals into the drawing to aid us in building our project.

"We wanted a design and build firm to make design/cost tradeoffs. It went great as the project was done well, under budget, and quicker than expected. They act as a general contractor and you can be as little or as much as involved as you want. For things we had strong opinions on we met with the subs also. We've been in the space 6+ months and haven't had any problems. Our basement has been dry (they installed a perimeter drain)."

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with CJ and we cannot recommend him enough! I had struggled with our living room for years and was never truly happy. Not only did CJ help us design and create a beautiful living room, he taught me how to be at peace with my decision-making. He is the whole package: creative, professional, patient and understanding. My husband and I have very different decorating styles and CJ was able to make us both very happy! He is a principled, kind person with tremendous integrity. Iâ m sure our Project was not one of his biggest, yet his passion and dedication made us feel like truly valued clients. Working with CJ was an absolute joy, and I feel that joy over and over every time I look at my living room!"

"Alan did the design for our whole-home renovation including finishing an in-home garage as additional living space, adding an additional bedroom, a half-bath, and a new basement-level entrance. He also re-designed the kitchen, opening up walls and adding an island making this space feel much brighter and bigger. The results were amazing and completely transformed the house. Alan was extremely thorough, taking into consideration not only all relevant building codes, but also every detail of the day-to-day use of each space. Importantly for a big project like this one, he was a good communicator and actively sought our input on many details, incorporating this into the ultimate design. We couldn't be more pleased with the result."

"Great, Dave stayed within our budget and our addition looks like it was part of a whole new home construction. We were really impressed with Dave Kinsella's design concepts and the workmanship was high quality even though we were on a tight budget. Dave comes from a big family so he understands money and time constraints plus he wants his projects to look as aesthetically pleasing to his clients as possible. We would definitely hire Dave again."

"Jerry worked with me to design and install front and backyard gardens with a beautiful stone patio and stone paths. His work is excellent and he knows his materials. He checked in with me along the way about decisions that needed to be made, even though that part was a bit stressful. I also appreciated his team because they were friendly and worked well together (and strong to deal with super rocky soil). We love walking the gardens several times a day and neighbors often stop to admire the beauty of the flowers and trees. We highly recommend Stonewall Pro."

"We have been thrilled with Leisha, her team, and collaborators. Leisha’s knowledge of horticulture is vast, and she really listens to the client about their goals for the space. I especially appreciated her ability to balance my desire to reuse healthy plants on the property with a new design that is visually appealing, increasing ‘curb appeal’. We discussed goals for use and visual design, concerns about wildlife impact, water runoff, etc. Leisha is very collaborative. She’ll explain why something you had envisioned may or may not work, and also provide alternative ideas that get at the spirit of what you want. This makes her an extremely valuable partner. Her team is prompt, careful, and leaves everything looking beautiful. It’s easy to check in with them if I have a question. People walking down the street love the garden, and when I am outside many folks stop and say how beautiful and lush the garden looks. I have referred several people!"

"Fantastic work!  Ron and his team are the most professional home contractors I have worked with in years.  We completed a full renovation of our home and outside property, and The Narrow Lane was by far the best contractor we worked with.  They did everything they said they would do and when things needed to fix, they addressed them quickly and professionally.  I highly recommend The Narrow Lane.

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Chestnut Hill, MA

Start by defining your goals and budget. Collect photos of rooms you love, jot down must-have features, and list what isn’t working in your current space. Share these details—and your target budget—during the first meeting. The clearer you are, the quicker a designer can translate your vision into a workable plan and keep costs in check.

Yes, working with an interior designer can help you save money. Designers prevent costly missteps, secure trade discounts on furniture and finishes, and coordinate the project so you don’t pay twice for the same work. Their upfront fee often pays for itself in avoided change orders, tighter timelines, and materials purchased at below-retail pricing.

A full interior design project wraps up in two to three months, on average, while a decorating job takes four to eight weeks. Timelines stretch if you add structural changes, custom millwork, or specialty materials, and unexpected shipping or permit delays can tack on extra days. Talk with your designer about project milestones and build in a little wiggle room.

Interview at least three pros whose portfolios match your style. Review their credentials and ask for references. During a face-to-face or virtual meeting, discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, and make sure their communication style and fee structure feel comfortable. The right designer combines technical know-how with a creative approach that clicks with you.
