"We had a great experience with Anthony Bruttaniti and partner John. Their design was perfect, communication was solid, and the price seemed reasonable. Even our contractors loved the final design so much that they are incorporating parts of it within their own design projects. Anthony and John spent various hours working with my wife and I on coming up with a design and layout that met all of our needs now with easy adjustment for future needs. We couldn’t be happier with how our house turned out. We absolutely love it. Highly recommend!"

"Big improvement over the driveway we started with. Alex and his team delivered the driveway we needed. He worked with us creating the design that worked both functionaly and asteticaly. Totaly changes the look of my house. The quality of the finished product is above what I imagined. They also helped us with transplanting our 14 year old fig tree. The last picture is the before shot."

"Jim was great to work with from start to finish. We did an entire interior remodel on an older home. Jim made great suggestions along the way, and designed everything using software that he shared with us, enabling us to see exactly how the layout would work, before starting anything. Despite doing the project during all the 2020 supply chain disruptions with materials, Jim finished on time. The quality was unbelievable. If you want an honest contractor with integrity and a ton of experience, Jim is your guy. His price was more than reasonable. Hands down, the best contractor I have ever worked with, and I have worked with a lot!"

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.
