Quality, service, style, experience - VALUE for your money!! That's what you get with Deborah and the staff at Transforming Rooms. It is amazing how after only one visit, Deborah and J.R. seem to really "get" my style. I don't normally write reviews, but there are so many good things about Deborah and her team. The transformation starts immediately and evolves into a long term vision based on what your budget allows or how much you'd like to do at one time. Deborah and J.R. didn't tell me my style was wrong or try to change my style, which is important to me They've work hard to improve and enhance it! They were able to move/use things I already owned ($ savings) and add new things to achieve a Huge improvement right away. They just have a vision for what will look better and what you'll LOVE. Fabric choices were easy because you can see it in the actual room, and Deborah and J.R. brought choices they felt I'd like (and boy, did I ever). The fabrics are very high quality and beautiful! Deborah also arranges anything you need, art installer, rug delivery, etc., and she doesn't charge any mark-up to this service fee, even after all the time she's invested. She just truly wants everything to go well. Deborah is attentive to all details. For example, you'll see exactly what Every item costs, and the components of that cost (fabric, labor, hardware, etc.). NO hidden fees. She is very organized and keeps up with where you are on budget, priorities, timeline, etc. The designer fees are very minimal compared to the service you get. Deborah and J.R. worked diligently to help me have fabrics, art, rug, accessories selected in just a few WEEKS to accommodate my upcoming surgery. Their timeliness is almost unheard of. It is so exciting and fun. I can't wait to get the first phase (based on my budget) installed and know that I'll want to do more. I had worked with a decorator before and due to a very bad experience, I really debated on hiring another decorator. I made a great decision with the Transforming Rooms team! Deborah told me they are happy to do as much or as little as I want. I can promise you from my experience that no matter how much or little you do, you won't regret using Deborah, J.R. and the Transforming Rooms team. You will feel like you are getting true value for your money with the things you purchase and the level of service, and you'll have a home you love!!! What more could anyone want?

I've never really been happy with my living room - traditional in style, dark, and drab. We purchased some new furniture, but when I tried to find fabric for new window treatments, I was discouraged with the selection in the 4 stores I visited and felt stuck. I called Deborah and presented her with two big challenges right off the bat - 1)decorating around a dark brown overstuffed leather sectional and a loud, multicolored chair and 2) telling her I'd really like to have the room transformed by Thanksgiving, giving her about a 6 week time frame. She immediately got to work, starting off by really listening to me and quickly figuring out what was needed for the change I desired. She then brought the most beautiful fabrics, much better quality than anything I had seen - they looked very expensive but were very reasonably priced. We then selected fabrics for pillows, a custom-made ottoman. and an antique settee to be reupholstered. Since we have an open floor plan and the living room was undergoing a dramatic change, she suggested ways to make a more cohesive look through artwork, accessories, new drapes and window treatments for the dining room and kitchen. She brought the most amazing artwork, accessories, and lamps - I loved everything she chose because she learned my preferences very quickly. She and her assistant, J.R. worked tirelessly, and were always pleasant and fun to work with. Unbelievably, everything was completed by Thanksgiving, and the results were nothing short of amazing! When my kids arrived from college, as well as other family members and guests, they couldn't believe the difference! My son came home a few days before everything was completed, and once the final things arrived, he said, "Wow, Mom, this place is really looking groovy!" - high praise coming from a guy who previously never paid much attention to such things. I'm so glad I called Deborah - she has a vision and access to such wonderful things that I could never begin to match. My house is so beautiful now - bright, full of color, but also calming and relaxing - and all at a very reasonable price! I honestly couldn't feel more positive about the entire experience.

Deborah was such a great steward with our budget. She took the budget we gave her for one room, and was able to transform the living room, and make improvements to two other rooms AS WELL! Her talent for finding quality pieces at affordable prices was a welcome surprise, as I had spent many months searching both online and in furniture stores, so I knew prices well. My husband and I have very different taste, thankfully, she demonstrated the ability to create a cohesive look that reflected both our taste. After an initial consultation, she immediately began the work of curating furniture, lighting, art, rugs, and accessories that made our home makeover such an exciting experience! As Deborah brought each piece into our home, the most astounding changes began to take place. The combination of color, materials and textures transformed our living room from a dark outdated space to a light, open and oh-so-welcoming environment! We can finally enjoy spending time in our home and entertaining! My friends keep asking “where does she find these amazing pieces?!” Deborah not only knows how to create a beautiful space, but she also maximizes its functionality by creating more seating! It seemed as if she had been reading our minds. I am so looking forward to working with Deborah on our future Phase Two! I highly recommend her services to anyone needing a home renewal!

Farha Syed is an exceptional interior designer. We have open living room with 1/2 well and 2 long windows. It is wide, but not deep enough to accommodate large sectional furniture. Farha discussed with me and my husband to understand what we are envisioning for our living room. My goal was to make living room open enough to accommodate seating for 6-8 adults. While my husband wanted it to be colorful and welcoming. Within a week, she came up with couple of designs for us to choose. We had concrete fireplace mantel. She recommended to modernize it by removing the mantel and adding tiles to the wall. She suggested moving TV above fireplace to accommodate more people like I wanted. She added a touch of orange with artwork, elegant area rug to our light grey living room to brighten the room. Our living room is completely transformed, very open and elegant and thanks for Farha for her design and guidance. She has her own team of contractors, tailors who can customize our requirements. Farha's design not only met our style, but also accommodated everything within our budget. She is very flexible and her design packages are reasonable. Our new living room pic is attached Thank you Farha for designing our living room. It was pleasure working with you.

Deborah and her team are AMAZING! We recently moved into a new home, are starting from scratch, and working with a limited budget. It will be a slow work-in-progress, but Deborah has already done SO MUCH to guide us towards our dream home. My husband and I often have different tastes but she has been able to blend our ideas and make everything look AMAZING. To say she always surpasses our expectations is an understatement! She has taken our vision and made it timeless and 10x better than we envisioned! She can work with any timeline and any budget. Deborah HELPS us stay within budget, prioritize what we need, and stay focused on the “big picture”. She has been able to find us really high quality, one-of-a-kind pieces that we never would have been able to purchase (or know where to get if we could) without her help. She lets us know where we should splurge and where we can save money. What’s BEST, you are able to see many items IN your home to help you decide!!! Deborah makes the whole process easy, fun, exciting, and stress free! If you’ve been “on the fence” about whether or not to have someone help you create your vision, CALL DEBORAH! You won’t regret it. I’m so glad I did and I look forward to working with her and her team for years to come :)
