REVIEWS OF Affordable Interior Design IN Connecticut

Margaret Areizaga

Working with Ashley and Betsy from Affordable Interior Design was an absolute pleasure. The whole process was very smooth and we especially liked the different options that were presented to us via Excel. Also helpful were the directions on how things should be placed. For example, the lights, curtains, pictures, etc. It's those little details that really help make a difference. Ashley and Betsy's communication via email was incredibly responsive, and we look forward to working with them again. Thanks, team!

Linda Moehringer

Ashley helped me rearrange my built-ins, cabinets and gave me some very helpful ideas for decorating certain areas of my home, especially the family room. She was a pleasure to work with and made our time together a lot of fun. I would absolutely call on her again!

Gendai Echezona

Allison took my ideas into consideration while still trying to give the best look and function. Stayed within budget. Didn’t give too many options that would confuse me. She did my living room and bedroom. And now currently working on kitchen/dining room and powder room. She was a pleasure to work with.

Marc Masciandaro

Our experience with Affordable Interior Design was all that we hoped for and more. I can't say enough about our designer, Paulina. She was engaging and personable, and she immediately grasped the style we were going for. She was full of great ideas and helpful tips (i.e. precisely where to hang art, rug placement down to the inch), and now we have a bad ass plan and a detailed shopping list for two rooms! My wife and I would definitely use this service again and would happily recommend Paulina to anyone looking to take their home to the next level.

JK Joseph

Allison worked with us on our house Westchester two occasions, designing our grand foyer, formal living room, office, master den, and nursery. The working model of the company is efficient which is important because we are busy people. I like that Allison was willing to provide "high" and "low" options so we can decide later on which items we want to spend more or less money. She seemed to understand our style very well. I also like there is no bias involved in her recommendations (unlike a conventional interior designer which is commission-based.) Will likely hire her again for any future room design projects.

Kerry Acocella

Allison was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and it didn't take her long to get what we were going for. It was a pleasure.

Melissa Thompson

Betsy and her team are not only a pleasure to deal with, but also professional and affordable. They helped us come together as a couple and finally figure out what we want to do with our basement and living room space. I know I will definitely hire her again!

Catherine Martini

I worked with Kelsey Surock to do a complete redesign of my parents' living room. She did an amazing job, this designer has the magic touch! She was incredibly efficient and was able to incorporate both my mom's tastes and some contemporary flavor. Bravo!

Monica Fields

After moving into my new home, I decided that I would enlist the support of an interior designer/decorator to help me in pulling together the decor of my home. Being newer to the area, I opted to conduct my research online to find the right company/firm and voila I stumbled onto Affordable Interior Design. I was immediately drawn in by the amount of helpful information found on the website. As such, I scheduled some time to visit with the company. After a discussion about the services I chose to move forward and based on my location, the company designated Allison Rachlis as my designer. Fast forward a few weeks and Allison met with me at my home. We walked through the survey I completed along with the focus areas of my home. Through this process she kept me grounded about selecting pieces that would be functional for my home without sacrificing appeal. About a week later I met with Allison to walk through a source list that she created from our meeting. This list contained the items that I would purchase to decorate my home and best thing is that she put this list together based on my budget. She also provided me with a mood board to help me visualize the end result. I've since then purchased several items and I am in the process of finalizing the decor of my home. I definitely would recommend the services from Allison at Affordable Interior Design to support anyone in the design/decor of their home. Lastly, I'd like to point out that I found Allison to be customer centric and helpful even after the services were complete. I've since sent her a few emails with some clarification questions and she always responds with her insight and advice. That being said, if you are looking for great customer service I’d definitely suggest you seek out Allison’s support for design/décor services.

Michael McGuirk

We were lucky to get to work with Ashley Craumer and she was awesome! We really liked that Ashley was looking at our apartment with a fresh set of eyes and giving us really good ideas. Some of them we hadn't even thought of! Other ideas that we had questions on she immediately was able to answer. Ashley also really seemed to understand our different tastes. She saw what my wife liked and also what I liked and was able to incorporate them both. We chose the 2 room package and are in the middle of the 1st room right now. The great thing is that I am still able to email Ashley and ask her questions and she is genuinely interested and just as excited as we are to see the finished product!

Bruce Bernstein

Kelsey was my designer. I have a studio apartment in Forest Hills, NY and I have lived there almost 40 years. She did a great job in helping me organize my space and she provided me with a comprehensive plan by identifying furniture and accessories to purchase and those items I could keep. She spent alot of time with me and I'm in the process of purchasing the items she suggested as I write this. If left to my own devises there would be chaos which is sort of what I have now and I would probably be paralyzed by indecision. She gave me a unified plan which is invaluable and that alone is worth the cost. I recommend Kelsey very highly. She was great and responsive to my questions and concerns.

Judy Adamo

Five years later and I still love the design that Betsy created for me! This is a great design service firm. I highly recommend.

Craig Reeson

I loved Affordable Interior Design so much I used it twice. I worked with Betsy both times - first moving into a one bedroom from a studio and getting all new furniture, then moving into a new one bedroom with a totally different layout and re-using as much as possible. As a bachelor without design sense it was one of the best investments I could have made. It saved me so much time and anxiety about which pieces to pick and every single person who has visited has been amazed by how nicely decorated my apartment is. The process is exactly as described by other reviewers - introductory call, questionnaire, in home visit, and follow up call a week or two later with suggestions. Betsy was incredibly personable and easy to talk to. I was also impressed with how much her suggestions matched my style even though I didn't have the vocabulary to communicate it. Everything fit within my constraints and preferences and Betsy helped with follow up questions and suggestions as pieces came in and as I decided to swap out a few pieces.

Laura Cowan

I am absolutely THRILLED with my design from Affordable Interior Design. I truly could not be happier. Their process worked so well. I had in my mind what sort of design I wanted, but didn't know what to buy or how to put it all together. I found a bunch of photos on the internet that gave a sense of what I wanted. I then spent 2 hours with one of their designers at my new apartment, and by the end, she knew exactly what the end result would be. About 10 days later she emailed me the concept board and list of furnishings. I literally bought every single thing on the list. I loved every single item they selected - and came in at budget! Also, they asked the right questions and listened to my answers - I rarely entertain, but I do workout in my apartment. They incorporated all of that into the furnishings they selected. I cannot recommend this service more. I wish I had done it earlier. I am finally living in the apartment I always wanted to live in.

eric tancredi

AMAZING!! Working with Affordable Interior Design is honestly the best decision I have made since getting my apartment. Whether its a room or in my case EVERY INCH of my place, they are by far the benchmark in professionalism, and total customer service. I had the opportunity to work with Paulina Grzechnik, an absolute joy from the very start. Smart, creative, with solutions to all my needs. Its truly refreshing to meet assertive, talented people who can help make our lives easier. Five stars does not do Paulina or Affordable Interior Design justice. Trust me they are the best at helping you create the place you want to come home to.

Allison Rudary

I've worked with both Betsy and Kelsey on three different projects over the years and I couldn't be happier with the results from both of these supremely talented women. One, they really understand how to listen to what you want and need and translate that into a vision. Two, the service is an amazing value. Rather than just buying things and trying to make it all work, investing in advice and expertise at the outset actually saved me a lot of money - they found good bargains to go along with my statement pieces and current furniture, plus I've saved a lot not making costly mistakes. My home is not just a place I sleep and store stuff; it's where I live and love and having a beautiful, functional design brings me a sense of joy and peace. I can't recommend the design services they provide enough!

Jenna Chung

After recently purchasing my first home, I was thrilled to have the help of Paulina and Betsy to design my living room and dining room. I was completely overwhelmed by all the furniture and decorating options out there and am woefully awful at sorting through it on my own. Betsy and Paulina listened to my ramblings on all the things I liked, wanted and didn't like and managed to translate that into two beautiful mood boards for my rooms. When I expressed concern over a few elements, they again listened, went back and adjusted to ensure I ended up with a final design that reflected my tastes and resulted in two rooms I love. I'd happily recommend their services.

Elise Houpt

We live in Scarsdale and it was wonderful to have Allison and Betsy visit. Allison was a rockstar and understood exactly the look I wanted. All of her suggestions were spot-on in style, color, and cost. She was wonderful to talk to and asked the best questions for really figuring out what I needed for each space. The rooms that were styled now have that decorator touch without spending too much on the upgrades. Thank you!

Julie MaGill

Just wanted to relay how thrilled I am with Allison's work. She was so easy to work with, totally understood what I was looking for, and delivered an exciting plan in short order. I am busily ordering the pieces she suggested and can't wait to see it all come together. I've already recommended you guys to many friends and I'm sure I'll be soliciting Allison's help again in the future

Carol Wiley

Paulina was fantastic. On time, professional and her suggestions were on point and gave a perspective I had not thought of.

Tom Heinemann

"Showed up on time! Allison listened and made recommendations. Spoke to us about the different trends. Cleared up a lot of questions we had."

Catherine Smith

Are you frustrated with your space and don’t have much of an interior design eye? Me too! All this went away with Betsy’s help at AID. Her kind and comforting demeanor put me at ease while giving me the feng shui I desired. The process was so organized and malleable. I now have the peaceful zen home that I can now call my getaway sanctuary.

Kristin Madden

I looked up one day and realized that after being in my home for more than a decade, it was ready for a design refresh. The designers at Affordable Interior Design were able to give me a fresh perspective on the floor plan and furnishings. They conceived ideas that wouldn't have occurred to me, and struck a good balance between listening to my taste and design preferences, and expressing some expert opinions. And, they encouraged me to really think about my lifestyle and how we use the rooms. The process was also very easy: a fun questionnaire to get to know me, a visit to my home to assess the project, and an efficient follow-up call to go over the recommendations and shopping list. They worked within my budget, and made it easy for me every step of the way. I'm excited to actualize their ideas and move on to more rooms in my house. Sometimes a fresh perspective is exactly what is needed.

Sarah Fitzgerald

Our house was furnished with a mixture of old, new and hand-me-down furniture of various styles and looks. I needed help bringing everything together and making the mish-mash of styles and furniture feel cohesive and "homey." Not only did I have a limited budget, I wanted to keep most of the furniture we already had. After reading mixed reviews of Home Polish and Havenly, I came across AID and have been so pleased with the results. Paulina provided a beautiful design and a concrete, easy plan for implementing it. She met with me for a few hours, in which we discussed everything, and she took pictures and measurements. Shortly thereafter, we had a call in which she presented me with a detailed floor plan complete with measurements that I could simply give my handyman, as well as a list of items to purchase (with direct links to the stores), and a mood board which gave me a sense of how everything would look once it came together. This was a perfect solution since I don't need assistance in purchasing or installing items in my home. Paulina is an incredible designer. She transformed our living/dining room, and master bedroom. She quickly grasped what I wanted to achieve and stayed within the various constraints I had in terms of budget, the items I wanted to keep, and various practical concerns of a family with young children. Even before I bought a single item, Paulina vastly improved our space simply by rearranging our existing furniture. I've slowly been adding to the design with the items she recommended, and the result is a cohesive, polished look that works with our family - even with two children under the age of five. I'm sure she has many clients, but she the level of individual attention I've received and her knowledge of my home and what I wanted to achieve made me feel like I was the only one.

Kenneth Araneta

Paulina is such a great interior designer and not to mention, very easy to talk to. Her attention to detail and her creativity is world class. I get lots of compliments on the look of my apartment thanks to her design. I would definitely recommend her services.

Jennifer G

This was an awesome service. Allison basically decorated both my living room and dining room from scratch. She was prompt and reliable, personable and creative. Allison incorporated all of my MANY requests AND stayed in budget! I am beyond pleased and feel this was a great value! She sourced my picks from solid places, and found me the best prices. Highly recommend!

Kevin Markman

Kelsey did a great job. She got my style right and put the place together to make it look great. The price was right compared to other services.

Shana Frazin

This was exactly the interior design experience I was seeking. Betsey was prompt--responding to my inquiry the same day! After listening to my wants, wishes and desires, Betsey selected Kelsey as my designer. It was definitely a "love match!" Kelsey is knowledgeable and personable, efficient and effective--she created the perfect plan for my space, my style and my budget.

Claire Elizabeth

I spend so much time looking at interior design magazines, but could never get my home to look just so. I decided I needed professional help, and for a small fee, Betsy gave me a plan to follow. No need to measure windows and figure out curtain rods - Betsy did it all for me and then sourced tons of great, affordable furnishings. I love that I can order the things on my own and go slowly, knowing that once I'm done, everything will go together perfectly. Every time I add something, my apartment looks more and more finished. Highly highly recommended!

Betsy did an amazing job in my Brooklyn apartment. She totally understood who I was and what my vision was. The whole experience was very educational. I used Affordable interior in my office as well and highly recommend their services.

Robert So

Kelsey was our designer. When she visited right away we felt she knew what she was doing. Very professional and offered a lot of good advice on how to reorganize our space in order to maximize its use for our family. She has very good taste and her ideas address our needs. Her recommendation for furniture sources was also wonderful! She was helpful throughout in answering our questions. We are very happy with the results. Our space feels much bigger and comfortable now. All our friends and families who saw how our new space got reorganized were impressed with the results. We are very happy with Kelsey and highly recommend her and Affordable Design. The service is of great value. Thank you again Kelsey!

Neal Lewis

The experience with Affordable Interior Design was great, and Kelsey Surock in particular was awesome. I recently needed someone like Kelsey for my clothes. In fact, I asked her to help me, and she respectfully declined. Here are the 3 main reasons that Affordable Interior Design rocks: 1. The initial customer survey was great and didn't assume anything about my understanding of design. Yes, there were a few questions that I didn't understand. But what I loved was the part where they had me select pictures of things I liked and didn't like and explain why. That seemed to be enough to have them all get an initial idea of what I was like. 2. Kelsey was articulate. When Kelsey was picking things out for me, she explained to me *why* she was picking them out. First she would say things like, "you should have the couch here for space.", "Sit here for more light", etc... then for almost every item she selected for me, she said why she selected it: "This lamp is tall and will match the height of the bed frame for balance", "this green color is close to your preference and is great for accenting the the space here.", etc.. That was helpful for me to appreciate why she picked what she picked. 3. Kelsey was flexible. When I couldn't find something, or I wasn't excited about a particular piece, she replied with an alternative piece, and a reason why she picked it. Almost everything that she picked out, I got. She kept me within my budget and still made my apartment feel comfortable and welcoming.. Seriously love these guys. I highly recommend them.

Would highly recommend Affordable Interior Design, NY. My decorator, Ashley was great and spot on. She was also very helpful answering questions and providing options. Had living/dining room & bonus room done and am very happy with result. Will use service and Ashley again for bedroom makeover!

Karen

We recently moved to Jersey City and decided to hire an interior designer to help us with our new apartment. I'm so glad we decided on Affordable Interior Design. Betsy and her staff were so helpful, professional and affordable! I loved the way that our needs were listened to and executed without us having to do any of the dreaded research or legwork. The whole experience felt easy and the best part is that we got exactly the kind of result we were looking for at an affordable price! We love our new home and highly recommend Affordable Interior Design to anyone who is looking to update/redesign their home in the Tri-State area.

Betsy Sherwood

My experience working with Betsy at affordable interiors was really wonderful . She was calm and I was not, which made her talent and experience in my case, all the more important. She has great communication skills and was able to understand what I was looking for , immediately. She was able to understand my price point quickly and zeroed in on my needs, accordingly . I've spent a lot of money fixing my decorating mistakes over the years, so this time I decided to do it a bit differently. I am very happy that I did. Betsy Helmuth knows how to give advice, has a great sense of color and has an in depth knowledge of what is available on line for easy and gratifying shopping. Call her, and I promise you will be glad you did . Betsy Sherwood Dobbs Ferry, NY D

Jennifer Edwards

I recently worked with Paulina to decorate my new house. I liked the fresh ideas and Paulina's explanations for how she arrived at items being a good fit for me (e.g., the height, the mix of textures, pulling colors in from other rooms, etc.) I've bought most of the items she recommended, and I am very pleased with the new look. I can't wait to finish the transformation.

John Altieri

What a great experience and a great way to make our new home ours. Our designer (Allison) was so very helpful. Can not say enough of what a great experience we had

Bushra Siddiqui

I had the pleasure of working with Allison Rachlis at Affordable interior design and found it to be a great experience. We moved to a 4 bedroom house from a 2 bedroom apartment so I needed a lot of help. I emailed Betsy who promptly put me in touch with Allison. Allison scheduled a date and came over to see the spaces I needed furnished. I have a modern style but am Pakistani-American so also wanted certain pieces from my culture to be incorporated into the design. Allison listened and made suggestions that worked with our family of 6 ranging from a 3 yr old to a 70 yr old. She was a joy to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to decorate their home but not wanting to" break the bank" while doing so.

Jacqueline Crimmins

Worked with Ashley on a kitchen consult. She helped me to be able to see the design more clearly. She gave me great ideas about the dining area and a flooring suggestion. The consult covered paint to backsplash to lighting and hardware. I already knew the cabinets I wanted so she was able to help with the backsplash color. Ashley is very easy to work with and very responsive to your needs. Once I get the kitchen renovations going I will be reaching to her.

Amy Cerciello

I had a great experience with Paulina. I did the two room package and have purchased many of the pieces she suggested. I appreciated that she was mindful of my budget. She also listened to me and pushed me out of my comfort zone just the right amount! She is thoughtful, personable and flexible. She is also very organized; the personalized shopping spreadsheet and layouts she provided are so helpful! I highly recommend Paulina!

Sylvia O'Hagan

I used Affordable Interior Design when we downsized from a house in the suburbs to an apartment. The team helped us review what I had to see what would work in the new space, gave ideas help maximize the layout and look of the new apartment and gave us a 'vision board' of items, ideas that were beautiful, cost effective and just want we needed. My designer came to the apartment, asked questions about our lifestyle and preferences and came back with a great plan - right down to links of where to buy items, all of which were budget friendly and from stores like Home Goods and Target. The design has helped us enjoy our time at our new smaller space, and helped find an interested buyer fast when we put it on the market. Highly recommend Affordable Interior Design!

We gave Affordable Interior Design a budget and vision for how we wanted our home to look and they came up with so many beautiful ideas. The service was organized and efficient. Our place looks stunning! Thank you!

John Margiotta

We used Kelsey Surock, and I can't say enough good things about her. She transformed our apartment, and stayed right on budget. I actually pushed in some instances to spend more, and she convinced me that the money could be better spent. The transformation has been much more than just an aesthetic thing. We're really enjoying our space so much more now that it's laid out better. We had hardly been using the living room the last few years b/c it was dark and inhospitable. With Kelsey's deft touch, we're all hanging out there together (family with three kids), playing card games, reading, listening to music, and we even had a movie night this past weekend. It's amazing how making the space more pleasant has had so many fringe benefits.

Hibba Wahbeh

Allison was professional, receptive, remained within scope and answered all our questions pointedly. Allison spent a good amount of time learning about us, our interests, our house, our lifestyle, our preferences and was able to quickly to pull together an overall ensemble that reflects who we are. We had been struggling with onesie-twosie choices and purchases without seeing the overall picture of the place. We are so happy with the design that Allison has created for us, within our tight budget. This was the best birthday present to myself. Allison hit the nail on the head and I didn't even know where to put the nail in my apartment! I also like that Allison was available for four more questions after the phone call, because there were a few more items that we needed to confirm.

Francis Dimayuga

This review is way overdue! We hired Betsy 4 years ago to design our one bedroom apt and she did not disappoint. We didn't have an idea of how we wanted our apt to look other than we wanted to be functional, wow our friends and not be broke after doing it. After a short questionnaire, Betsy (who has a great sense of humor) walked us through the entire process, told us exactly what to furniture/pieces to get and where to place it to get the look we were looking for all at a budget we were comfortable with. Every person who has come through our apt since has commented on how great our place looked, which shows that great design doesn't have to be expensive. We are now moving to a new 2 bedroom apt in the UWS and guess who is designing it?! If you are ready to work with a designer who has the background, vision and experience to make the most out of your living space consider Betsy and Affordable Interior Design.

Carly Lizza

I worked with Kelsey Surock on a Virtual Transformation for my living/dining room and could not recommend her enough! Initially, I was hesitant to use the Virtual Transformation because my budget was fairly small, but I found that in working with Kelsey I actually spent a lot less than I would have on my own. She was really good at helping me decide where to spend what money and what I could save on. It was so great to consult with a professional who had an eye for what works together and what size furniture would work. The floor plan part was extremely helpful and Kelsey was so kind and easy to work with. She was so genuinely excited about the project and I could tell how much she truly enjoys the work.

Shira

Betsy was an amazing resource when I set up my new apartment. She was smart, kind and non-judgmental! She really works to get to know her client (me in this case) so her recommendations are personal to taste, life style, budget, etc. Betsy gave me ideas that never would have occurred to me and turned out to be just the right ones! I recommended her to a friend who had a similarly positive experience. Thanks Betsy!!

Justin Yan

I consulted Affordable Interior Design since I was in need of design ideas during my move to Jersey City in June 2016. Betsy, the owner, was immediately responsive during my initial contact, and she put me in touch with designer Allison who is an exceptionally talented designer! Allison was highly knowledgable, creative and energetic while making my six-hour design consultation a delight. She sourced several items that met my design tastes while remaining within my overall budget. It's been a pleasure to connect with Allison, Betsy and Affordable Interior Design, and I highly recommend them for anyone needing amazing design consultation in the Greater New York City Area.

Joseph Luna

We first used Betsy four years ago turning our apartment into our first family home. In addition to being fun and easy, the process was also practical. For example, we were expecting our first child and hadn't given a moment's thought to ''stroller parking" before (turns out that's important). Here we are a few years and two kids later and Emi from affordable design is helping our turn our first house into a beautiful family home. We got the benefits of the same great service from Emi, and trying to keep two kids under four alive, means we really appreciate the help getting the house in order.

Aparnaa Saini

Allison from Affordable Interior Design is absolutely amazing! Our home has never felt this good. Allison was so helpful and what was amazing was that she had the sources and mood board ready in a week! We were so impressed by all her suggestions and the quick turnaround time. She was also very helpful after we started purchasing the pieces in making the necessary size adjustments etc. and even more recommendations!

I LOVE Affordable Interior Design! I've used them already 3 times! The team did such an awesome job creating our dream design. They created an environment that was EXACTLY what I wanted even though I couldn't even tell you what I wanted to begin with. I really couldn't put a name to our style, but Betsy and her team made it happen. It's been a pleasure working with them as they find great items to fit my budget and make my apartment look super stylish! We keep coming back with the changes in our life- when my now husband moved in, when we had a baby and when we moved. With each experience our home becomes more and more beautiful! I would definitely recommend Affordable Interior Design- it's so much better to have an expert buy your things instead of buying and returning all month long when it doesn't work out!

Kelsey knew so much about what we would ask and what we liked that we barely had to talk. Her experience has made her use her talent efficiently which makes things easier and seamless.

I absolutely love Affordable Interior Design! I consulted with Betsy because my boyfriend and I had completely opposite ideas about how our apartment should look. She came up with a design scheme that had us both THRILLED! It suited both our personalities/aesthetics and complimented our unusual living space. I was so happy that I decided months later to work with her again on the bathroom and an additional room. She is incredibly considerate to budget and sourced items from the retailers that offer steep discounts when you move (something she brought to my attention that I hadn’t even considered!) People are wowed, but the space it doesn’t look “designed” - it just looks like we have amazing taste and a great visual sense. Can’t recommend this service highly enough!

Allison was my designer and did an outstanding job. She came up with an exceptional plan for redecorating my space. She is a great listener and totally understood my preferences (including those that were budget-related) and made suggestions afterwards that far exceeded my expectations. As a company, Affordable Interior Design's streamlined process cuts straight to the chase with a detailed questionnaire even before your assigned designer visits. Going by my experience, you are guaranteed a very authentically personalized plan that you never knew that you wanted!

We had a wonderful experience with Affordable Interior Design! Ashley designed three rooms with us for our new home, and we are just in love with her recommendations. Our living room, which is front and center when you enter our home, is beautiful. Every single visitor we've had is amazed and loves what we've been able to do in a very short period of time. Also, even after we recieved Ashley's recommendations, she stayed in contact with us and helped with additional questions we had. She's the best! We will definitely be working with Ashley and AID again when we're ready to design a few more rooms!

Thank you for providing such useful information to help me create a home I truly love. I've never been a homebody before now because I didn't know how to create a beautiful home. Now, I smile when I walk in after a long day away. Betsy and clan, you're brilliant and my whole family thanks you!

"Paulina was very nice and helpful. We did a kitchen remodel last year, and it looks fantastic thanks to all the choices she made. Now we are working on new furniture in the living room. She came up with a perfect plan! Thx so much Paulina!"

Kaitlin Nicholis

"The one-hour in-person visit is great, Paulina had great ideas and really helped us use our space in an efficient and stylish way. She also provided education on how to hang art/mirrors, length of curtains, and sizing of items which was very helpful. I think it is a great service. I found a lot of value in having a personalized plan for our space and it made me confident to know I was spending my money wisely."

I am very happy with my decision to use Affordable Interior Design and with Stephanie, the designer I worked with. First, the design questionnaire was excellent - especially for someone like me who doesn't know much about interior design. It was able to identify my design preferences by showing different living rooms and asking which ones were to my liking. In addition, its questions served as a great preparation for the home visit, so Stephanie came well prepared for our meeting. Stephanie was very creative, professional, and helpful throughout the process. When she visited my place, we decided on a design together, in an efficient process, where she was able to translate my needs and preferences to interior design decisions and furniture choices. After two weeks, she assembled a furniture shopping list, within the budget I requested. I purchased all items she suggested. The furniture items were sourced from many furniture stores and I felt she did an excellent job finding items that were beautiful, fit the overall design, and reasonably priced. I get nothing but compliments about my place (even from my Architect friend who is quite stingy with design related complements...). Well done Stephanie! As to the cost-effectiveness of the service - had I done this process myself (even with friends help), I would have surely spent more time, more money, getting worse results. Finally, the service was well structured and transparent. Good stuff overall.

Affordable Interior Design helped me take the things I already had, add to them and transform my home. Their professional eye brought my home together from the living room to the kitchen to the bathroom, all on a tight budget! The extra step to use their Virtual Plan saved me countless steps roaming aimlessly around furniture and paint stores. I will continue to use them for all my projects, big and small. Thank you, Betsy!

The team is very organized and addresses their client efficiently. Allison helped me and guided me to the right paint colors for the apartment.

Christie Berner

We had a great experience working with Allison and Affordable Interior Design. We needed help with space planning in anticipation of expecting our first baby in September. She spent 2 hours at our apartment looking at our space and came up with some great storage solutions and potential floor plans that would maximize our space. We went through our design taste and she came up with beautiful mood boards and a source list that perfectly suits us. We have already purchased several of the items she recommended and love the way our home looks!

Bess Seewald

Two hours with Betsy/Affordable Interior Design provided me with the focus and structure to make clear decisions about our living room as well as other areas of our new home. I initially contacted her to help me with the living room/media unit area. She suggested a custom assembly of IKEA pieces that turned out great and that I had not thought of on my own. The amount of money I saved with that was worth the service alone, since I was considering brands like Room & Board, or even custom mill work. Additionally, her suggestions for furniture placement, area rug and pillows (a separate service consultation) made a comfortable living room a more inviting, pleasant, and visually interesting space. I love design and browsing online, but sometimes you just need someone to come in with experience and a fresh eye to make key decisions that anchor a space. Betsy did that for us. I can see using their services again in the future.

Kathy Young

We moved from a 2 bedroom apartment in Brooklyn to a home in suburban New Jersey. I was extremely overwhelmed by how to design it. No Problem! Affordable Interior Design saved the day. Allison was fantastic to work with. She really took the time to look at my space, understand my style and sourced some amazing pieces for our family room and living room. Allison was always available to answer questions and even offer additional suggestions on pieces. I now can't wait to order all our furniture and finally be excited to call our house a home. Thank you AID, Allison and Betsy!

Steven Secon

Betsy and her design posse fully get it- good design, a reasonable price delivered with no attitude!

Jessica Seessel

I coudn't be happier. Betsy completely redesigned our downstairs and it seems like a different house! And all within our modest budget. She asked great questions that got me to see that I needed to make more changes than I had originally thought (kitchen island, dining room table). Her choices were creative and interesting. I get complements all the time and would definitely work with her again. Five stars from Dobbs Ferry!

Tiffany Cohen

We worked with Allison Rachlis to design our townhouse and are thrilled with the results. The whole process was great from start to finish and we found the price to be reasonable. Allison helped us figure out our style and used our inspiration pictures to find great pieces for our home. She showed us several options for key pieces such as the bed, sofa, and dining table at different price points. She was also very responsive and got back to us very quickly with all her suggestions. All of our furniture has been delivered and the place looks amazing! We could not have done this without Allison.

Angelika Mendes-Lowney

We really want to express how very happy we were with Paulina Grzechnik. The chemistry between us and her was right from the moment she entered and we thoroughly enjoyed working with her. We are a couple with different tastes and she managed to navigate that so well, making us both very happy with the final product. She went out of her way to think through all possible options and ideas and we managed to find a solution to pretty much everything we had been grappling with. She clearly has great imagination and experience and we didn't feel like she was imposing anything on us. Rather, she helped us to understand some basic design rules and start from there. We have made great progress with our apartment in a very short time thanks to her and would warmly recommend her to anyone without hesitation. Overall, our experience with Affordable Design was excellent. They were responsive, helpful, practical, affordable and didn't disappoint in any regard. We will likely use their services again in the future. And we are thrilled by the fact that there is in fact an interior design company out there that plans according to one's needs and means!

This was an incredible service and I swear it has changed my life. I never thought of myself as someone who would do well with an interior designer b/c I have such specific taste, but Betsy came into my home and really understood my aesthetic and how I wanted our home to look. She helped rearrange some furniture which opened up space and made a world of difference. She helped me prioritize what I needed to buy and what I should just get rid of. I can't recommend AID enough!

Aaron Iba

Betsy is incredibly good at her job, I'm very happy with her thoughts and recommendations.

Paige Blansfield

My apartment was in desperate need of a makeover, and Emi Young worked miracles in short order! She quickly understood our needs and budget, and was able to quickly source options that I adored but would have never previously considered - or even thought about. Her upbeat energy and ability to really incorporate both my quirky opinions and desperate need for storage (I live in NYC) made the process a dream. Most importantly, however, I'm thrilled with the design for my home! Emi was efficient, effective, and simply lovely to work with - every interaction was positive and produced amazing results. She was clear about the process and outlined every step - I always knew where we were going and the resulting design fulfilled every hope I had, and more. Thank you Emi!

"Allison was knowledgable, very friendly and easy to talk to, also most importantly she understood my ideas and vision. Lastly, sooooo affordable! Worth every penny :)"

jeanne goodman

Betsy makes an overwhelming task seem fun and suddenly simple! She has helped me build my business and my home, I am so grateful to her and strongly recommend her!!

Janely Perez

Allison was my designer and she is AMAZING! She really knows what she is doing. She pays attention to details, she listens and really is able to understand the vision that the client has in mind. Her turn around time for everything was excellent! If you emailed her, she responded right away. I asked her for several options and she always delivered with no hesitation. My apartment is cozy, warm and just amazing... now we are always hosting friends because we are so excited to share our lovely space with others. Affordable Interior Design is definitely a most! We are planning to buy a house in a year and I plan on reaching out to Allison & Betsy again.

Nikki Croes

I can't say enough about Kelsey and Affordable Interior Design. My husband and I moved into a new home in Colorado and have a lot of trouble with decor. Through the Virtual Transformation Package we were able to work with Kelsey remotely and get incredible recommendations. Our house is coming together perfectly and we couldn't be happier. I'd highly recommend this service to anyone looking for an affordable way to professionally decorate.

Robbyn Kistler

Kelsey was such an excellent communicator. She listened thoroughly, guided us through the questions to get a good feel for what we might like, and talked through a great plan. She just has a great sense of space and really came off as a master of this approach.

Mara Goodgold

I trusted Allison throughout the whole process and loved the mood board. The results indicated how intently she listened and she understood my general style that I could not articulate.

Ana Franov

My husband and I recently worked with Betsy to design the living area and bedroom of our one bedroom rental. We had been living in a studio for a few years and it was time to upgrade. We were willing to part with most of our existing furniture and wanted to create a space that we looked forward to coming home to and would allow us to host friends and family. We started looking online and thought we had some great ideas in mind. After visiting a few furniture stores we realized we were going to overspend on furniture and it would not come together like all the pictures we had been seeing. We came across Affordable Interior Design and decided to reach out. They got back to us right away and we scheduled the onsite visit to work with Betsy. Before the onsite Betsy gave us a few questions to fill out and asked for a few pictures from online magazines that we liked to get a sense of our style and personality. During the onsite Betsy came up to our apartment and walked us through several layout options weighing the pros and cons of each. Once we decided on the layout we talked budget, furniture and measurements. Betsy provided exact measurements where all the furniture and wall hangings should be placed. After we finished our walkthrough Betsy said she would have our furniture picked out in a week. We scheduled a call with Betsy within the week as promised. During the call Betsy provided us with options for all the furniture we picked out going over why she picked out each item. The ending result is a living/dining room and bedroom that is comfortable, practical, stylish and a place we love coming home to everyday.

Swatika Rajaram

We loved working with Paulina. She helped us reimagine our apartment in the first hour that she was there, without making us feel like we had made wrong design choices in the past. She was very flexible in her sourcing, providing us multiple options to fit our specific taste (quirky) and our budget. Her feedback and comments were very thoughtful, and we felt very comfortable asking her questions and offering suggestions. Her suggestions were respectful and fit our style and budget, but she was also not afraid to shoot down some ideas that were too crazy and that made us trust her. It's been 6 weeks since our meeting with Paulina, and we have just started to buy our new furnishings, and we are amazed that she still continues to answer all our questions - small or big. Can't beat this level of service and care

LOVE Affordable Interior Design! I was paired with Caitlin McBride - who did an amazing job. She was responsive, helpful, and worked within my budget and parameters (small space, small kids, pets, high traffic area) to create a dining room our whole family loves! She kept in contact during the whole process...asking questions as we went - to ensure we were both on the same page. Looking forward to working with them again on our next project. Highly recommend.
