What Our Clients Say
The Eleven Interiors team designed our 7000+ sq ft. house on Cape Cod, overlooking the bay. Eleven Interiors was a pleasure in every aspect of the process. They are fun, smart, tasteful, and brilliant at interior design. I'd hire them again in a second should I need or want to redecorate. But frankly, their interior design is timeless, and will look great forever!
Patti L., Client
I highly value all Michael and his staff brought to the complete re-design and construction of our entire first floor of our suburban colonial. From concept creation, design, build and furnish - they provided us what appears to be a brand new home. Beyond the talent and skill, I hold Michael's professionalism in high regard. Extremely timely, he managed our expectations very well, and was genuinely committed to the high aspirations we had. I would hire Michael and his team again without question.
Dan T., Client
My husband and I hired Eleven Interiors to help with the interior design of our apartment, and we hired they again years later when we moved into our first home in the suburbs. We couldn't have been more pleased with the result. The Eleven Interiors team is creative and professional and always listened thoughtfully to our suggestions and helped bring our vision to life. When we were unsure how to proceed in a particular space, they always provided fresh and innovative ideas that really pulled our home together. We highly recommend Eleven Interiors to anyone looking to hire an interior design firm.
Amy H., Client
We worked with Eleven Interiors on a complete kitchen renovation. Both the experience and the end result were exceptional. During our first meeting, the team got to know us, how we lived, used our kitchen, relaxed, and entertained. They paid attention to the overall feeling of our home, the views from the windows, access to natural light etc. They understood our style and preferences better than we could articulate them! They incredibly organized and detail-oriented. Their suggestions and creative approach to selecting materials and finishing touches made the process really fun and not at all stressful. We LOVE our new kitchen. It's even better than we could have imagined!
Lara G., Client
It is very satisfying when a decision we make turns out to have been the best one. My project consisted of decorating a newly purchased apartment and my goal was to have a comfortable but beautiful home and that is precisely what was delivered. My experience: Professional - Consistent across each and every member of the team; Communicative - I rarely had to ask the status of any part of the project as they kept me well informed on all aspects from beginning to end. Engaging - It was like having a pleasant conversation throughout the process. I especially appreciated how diplomatic they were when pointing out the 'better' choices. Efficient - They are a very well coordinated team and everything was orchestrated beautifully with minimal impact on my personal schedule. Accountable - The detailed budget was presented at the onset and followed/communicated throughout. The project ended on budget which alone speaks volumes. Talented - They presented impressive design ideas with a distinct mastery that comes with experience. Success is the word that I would use if I had to choose only one.
