Client Experience

"Dee was a fantastic help. My consultation felt like getting advice from a trusted friend (with a lot of expertise!). I came with specific questions about furniture and art pieces, colors and placement. Dee went through all my concerns, one-by-one, suggesting new sources and various styles that would tie my open-concept room together. Her enthusiasm and reassurance were exactly what I needed!"

"I loved my session! As a new designer myself, just getting my feet wet in the Industry, I came with some random questions that would have taken me hours upon hours of random google searches to find a vague answer at best. Dee was incredibly encouraging, helpful and understanding these challenges and was so relatable that it really helped ease some timidness about aspects of the Industry that I found challenging. She gave wonderful insight and her knowledge of design itself and the industry."

"My session with Dee Murphy was exactly what I hoped for. I had about a dozen questions for her regarding decor throughout my house and we were able to get to every question. She gave me great advice and clear instructions when I needed to know specifics. She got my aesthetic and my own sense of style. I didn't feel like she was trying to put me in a mold as I've felt with some designers in the past. I highly recommend her and will call on her again!"

"I love Dee's style on Instagram and found it so valuable to speak to her about the design of my new apartment. I shared some info about the space, existing furniture and my design ideas beforehand and she came prepared with suggestions for pieces for the apartment that were all excellent. I wasn't sure what to expect, but this was worth absolutely every penny and I will do it again."

After looking at a couple pictures of my home, she was able to completely understand the overall style of our home, and made some amazing suggestions for light fixtures that I never would have thought of on my own. Dee is also just so warm and easy to talk to, I can't wait to meet with her again for more design advice!"

"Dee delivered! We asked Dee to help us bring warmth and soul to our 2.5 bathrooms in our apartment, and she was able to give us very tactical recommendations (down to the exact products we plan to purchase). She helped us narrow down so we can spend time on the fun part of designing, breaking through the daunting "where do we even begin" stage. She took our inspiration photos and brought her own spin, and even sent us quite literally the perfect wallpaper. Highly recommend this experience!"
