"Tess has transformed my home, one room at a time, into a gorgeous (and functional) oasis. Visitors are always impressed with our home decor--a few of them now realize that Tess is the mastermind. She takes an overwhelming process and makes it manageable and fun. I love that she works with any budget and style, helps shape the vision start to finish, and allows for just the right amount of risk-taking. As a new mom myself, I especially appreciate that she can make spaces hard-working as well as beautiful. In addition to talented, she's just a lovely person to spend a morning with."

"Phil and his team did an excellent job designing and completing a large landscaping project involving yard work, river rock, patio walkway, shrubs/plants and a stone wall. Phil kept us informed during the entire progress and provided valuable feedback and recommendations. The project was completed on time and within budget. Phils and his workers always showed up on time and were very responsive to our needs. I would highly recommend G&P Landscape and Construction ! Ralph T Hopedale"

Customers say: Quality work

"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!"

"We are so excited to have found Crafted Spaces Design Build! It was a pleasure working with George who was extremely knowledgeable and professional. We needed help creating a full vision including all the subtle details. They were able to make it happen within our budget and timeline! They were able to listen carefully and give us a 3D plan including even the smallest details to help remove any misunderstandings and to see it all come together ahead of time! We were very pleased with the outcome and look forward to working with them again in the future! I would also highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell and make improvements, people who recently bought a home looking to make it their own or someone just looking to transform and recreate their home!"

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Marlborough, 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.
