Interior Design near Essex

“Anna and her team helped me transform a waterfront cottage to a warm and cozy space which is loved by residents and guests alike. The design assistance was effective and creative, maximizing the available vistas; the furnishings and accessory selection was a delightful process matching new and old in order to provide contemporary flair with seaside charm. Through it all Anna was mindful of the budget and schedule. She is truly a unique talent and I look forward to working with her again.“

“Anita and her team worked with me on various phases of preparing a newly purchased home for occupancy, from planning a kitchen renovation and securing a contractor to helping select paint colors, fabrics, and furnishings, as well as helping me determine which of my current furnishings and accessories would harmonize with my new space. Anita's keen eye for form and color, her extensive experience, and her thorough knowledge of materials and local suppliers were a great asset in this project. (These are personal photos that show various stages of the project.)“

“Lisa is always total joy to work with. Doing business with her is like doing business with family. Her personal service is such that I will never again consider dealing with chain or big box stores. To date I have had her outfit all my properties, commercial and residential. Nothing better than supporting the Mom & Pop stores and getting back a true appreciation for your business with a show of warmth and professionalism. Thank you again Lisa for all you've done for me through the years.“

“I have had the pleasure of working with Mat and his team for the design of my personal home. I can not say enough of the efforts expelled to the attention of detail and to my needs as a client. Looking back through the process i can truly say i would not change a thing in the process or the final design of my home. My experience was absolutely great. You can tell each of the staffed involved care about the client relationship.“

“I highly recommend this home furnishings and interior design firm to anyone in the area. Surroundings employees have always been up to the challenge that my home has presented. Their selection is great and their customer service is exceptional.“

“Lidia and her team lead the process of planning and designing our home renovation. They are creative, insightful, and patient(!) collaborators. We worked primarily with Lidia and Adriana, but everyone we encountered was fantastic.“

“Lisa and Derek are an amazing team to work with from start to finish. I approached with them a unique project of finishing my basement but adding in a dog spa/mud room and taking out a bulk head and adding a back door. They accepted the challenge and I couldn't be happier with the results.Lisa was amazing with her design process and putting together renderings of what the space could become. She was forthcoming and direct about costs while adhering to my budget. Lisa also made sure that I was happy with every fixture and material. As someone who gets overwhelmed easily, Lisa made sure to show me a few thing at a time, and coming back with more options if I did not like what I had seen.Derek and his team were amazing. Derek is communicative, always responded to a text or phone call, and answered any questions I had. He was extremely thoughtful in showing me the space as it was coming along, and took the time to explain any changes that needed to be made and why. I trusted him and his team completely in my home. The rest of the team was extremely hard working and they never disrupted my comings and goings while the project was in process.I highly recommend Lisa and Derek if you're looking for a team to come in and renovate your home. I would hire them every time. If you're looking for an honest, trusting, and hardworking team these are your people.“
