"Working with Jen and her team at CCD has been a truly wonderful experience. My family and I were new to the concept of hiring decorators and Jen was so thoughtful and patient to help us through the process. Our goal was to make our house a home, to feel more like us and remain functional for our family life. Jen went above and beyond and we are beyond thrilled with the results. Jen is super knowledgeable when it comes to design but also so open to collaboration. As this was our first foray into working with a decorator, we were nervous about losing our own style but Jen helped us to do the opposite and elevate our style to come up with unique and special ideas for pieces and colours that immediately feel warm and like we are home. It has truly been a pleasure working with Jen and her team. They are professional, have fantastic vision and also so open to making things work for all of you. Even little tweaks and things I would think of last minute, Hen would usually have already thought of it. We look forward to working with Jen in the future on other projects and so happy with our wonderful new home."

"I am the president of the condo association where I live. We hired Ely to do a design project in the common areas of our building. She is a true professional with a great eye for color and design. She is extremely knowledgeable regarding durable materials that are perfect for high traffic areas. We are thrilled with her work and would definitely hire her again!"

"I am beyond impressed with "My Sister's Home"!! They designed my apartment from top to bottom with such care and creativity. The lead, Darnella, was incredibly flexible, understanding, and attentive to my needs throughout the process. Always available and professional, she truly exceeded my expectations. The final reveal left me speechless! Not only is she talented, but sheâ s also a genuinely nice person. I couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend her services!"

"OmG!!! I still can?t believe this is my bathroom! From the start, KBR Design & Build totally got my vibe and helped me create a space that feels like a mini spa. The tile work is chef?s kiss, the lighting is perfect, and every little detail was done with so much care. Plus, they were super easy to work with and actually stuck to the timeline (which never happens with renovations, let?s be real). If you need a sign to finally remodel your bathroom, THIS IS IT."

"Went well. My family lived in the house during the 4+ month reno and the crew were always clean, respectful and kind. They would wipe down the floor protectors 1x per week and upon request. Project manager Luis took feedback on progress of job and always reacted/corrected promptly. Was visible on site every 2-3 days, but would always show up at the appointed time upon request and with helpful constructive solutions, many at no additional cost to me. Would never slam me with requests for last minute material needs where I would need to make a decision without reasonable notice. I was my own project manager for everything but the bathrooms, where I had a designer, and Luis could speak in both designer language and in 'normal person without construction experience' language at all times without dumbing things down. Would always explain the 'why' when he would explain the construction possibilities. They did parquet throughout the top floor in keeping with the rest of the 1920s townhouse that looks great. Across the board everyone exhibits great care in the final work product. Owner Anthony also straightforward and clear in all communication and office manager Allison helpful and attentive."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Barbara and Anduin to design and organize my new apartment, and I could not be more satisfied with their service. From the initial consultation to the final touches, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism and creativity. Barbara and Anduin took the time to understand my personal style and needs, ensuring that every aspect of the design was tailored to my preferences. Their attention to detail was remarkable, and they blended functionality with aesthetics, creating a space that is both practical and beautiful. I am thrilled with the outcome and am grateful for their expertise. They also made what could have been a stressful experience for me smooth and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Organically Organized NYC to anyone looking to transform their living space."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Manhattan, NY

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.
