Reviews of Rae Duncan Interior Design (Interior Designer)

Ann Corkery

Rae and her team were great to work with on our project. Amanda, our go to person for the project, was a lovely young woman. We enjoyed working with both women. They were very accessible and promptly answered our calls, texts, and emails. We were coming from a very traditional home and looking for a sleek, contemporary look for our condo remodel. The results were stunning! We love the look, our kitchen is a real show stopper! There were some bumps along the way but Rae and her team came through as they promised. We are thrilled with our furnishing choices and appreciate a job well done. Thanks for all your advice, patience, and being a great team to help us on this journey.

Rae has worked on several projects with me. From branding to helping me design new bathrooms in my 120 year old home. She gets me.Not every client is all about new and sleek and she listens. She is meticulous on detail and saw our needs and put them first. The result, It all works. Could not be happier with the outcome. And another plus is that working with Rae is a delight. She is full of energy and great ideas. Thanks Rae Duncan Design.

I moved to the area two summers ago and remember feeling totally overwhelmed by the idea of decorating a new apartment and making it feel like home. Also, I am an educator and spend a lot of time supporting my students during and after school. I stumbled across RDID while researching design firms in the area. Before contacting them, I was worried that they might turn up their nose at the project and tell me my apartment or budget was too small. I called anyway, and they put my concerns to rest immediately. They were warm, affirming, creative, and accommodating. Amanda and Alissa came to my apartment to take a look around, and we discussed ideas. From there, Amanda became my point person. She and the team were such efficient communicators, researchers, and listeners. I love the way that my apartment looks now! My only regret throughout the entire process was that I had not reached out to them sooner! I highly recommend them!

Rae, Alissa and the team were amazing! They took the time to understand what I wanted to do and helped to bring it to life. Honestly, I loved working with them so much that I ended up expanding my work to the full 2 bedroom/2 bathroom condo. I would highly recommend them to everyone!!

Rae Duncan Interior Design was the perfect partner to choose when I decided to renovate my kitchen attached sun room. Rae and her team of designers, Sarah and Alissa, designed a gorgeous and functional space. Every detail was thoughtfully selected, providing for a luxurious yet affordable and comfortable environment. Rae and her team went above and beyond to manage every phase of the project in an efficient manner. The communication between the Rae Duncan Interior Design team, the various contractors and retailers and myself was the best that I have experienced in working with any home improvement service professional. I highly recommend choosing Rae Duncan and the Rae Duncan Interior Design team when embarking on a home renovation or other interior design project. I have several more projects in mind and will definitely be using Rae Duncan Interior Design when the time comes.

Last winter we purchased a new home that needed some updating. After meeting with several designers and contractors we chose to work with Rae Duncan and her preferred contractor. Not only was her quote very reasonable but she also made us feel much more comfortable about our project. Over the course of our renovation (6 weeks or so) Rae went above and beyond to make sure that things were done correctly, efficiently, and beautifully. If there was any issue, design or contractor related, Rae and her team were on it immediately. They were a pleasure to work with and we would not think twice about hiring them again.

Rae is one of a kind! She has amazing ideas - a great balance of understanding and respecting your style and opinions while expressing hers and influencing to get to exceptional results. She will work within your budget and never compromise quality; her work ethic is like no other; her dedication to customer service is unparalleled; and everything that defines her brand is the brand of all at RDID and all contractors with whine she partners. Rae and RDID are real gems! I can't wait for another project with Rae and her team!

Angela Blough

Rae rocks! She came over to look at our newly purchased condo to help us with layouts, paint colors, furniture ideas, cabinets, lighting, the works! She listened to me describe my style and knew exactly what I wanted. She worked with her team to scour the internet for a dining table and chairs that would complement our space, she also referred us to her cabinet guy (which came out looking beautiful), and she helped us pick out our pendant lights above our island and the paint colors for our entire first floor and second floor hallway! I'm the worst at picking out paint and she's the best!! She's responsive and quick with all your questions/concerns. We have already referred her to family members and they loved her too!

Rae is extremely hard working and will design a space that is truly reflective of your personality. She is a joy to work with and a genuine partner in the process of making a house a home

Rae Duncan is the most talented designer and phenomenal renovation partner with whom I have ever worked. My husband and I are working with Rae on a near complete gut rehab of a home we recently purchased and could not be happier with the results. First, she took the time to understand and help us refine our vision for the home and, after just one initial meeting in our new space, she was able to intuit and articulate how to make our vision a reality. Rae brings a deep and talented network of contractors and craftspeople to the fore to create truly custom spaces, within tight budgets and against tight timelines. And she does more than interior design; she creates transformative interior environments. I have worked with other designers, and none have worked as creatively and efficiently as Rae. She exhibits a rare brand of patience and empathy, expressing her creative vision and point of view while treating her clients as true partners in the design process. She also conceives of brilliant solutions to the design challenges inherent to older homes like the one we recently purchased and smaller spaces like the one she helped us stage and sell. Rae's spatial and aesthetic brilliance, coupled with her sensitivity and responsiveness to her clients' needs, make her a truly incredible designer. I would highly recommend working with Rae; she has truly transformed our space in a way we never could have imagined based on our experience with other designers, and helped transform our lives in the process!

I begin my glass career at the Glass Eye in Seattle, WA followed by several years working on Dale Chihuly’s team at the Boathouse. I’ve worked alongside many prolific artists such as Lino Tagliapietra, Benjamin Moore, Dante Marioni, and Dan Dailey and have also taught internationally. Rae Duncan It’s a designer I work with often out of the Chicago area. Her team is wonderful to work with, whether it be a collaboration on a custom piece, or selecting the perfect piece from my studio for a project. We’ve had a relationship for about 10 years now and I greatly admire her work ethic, generosity, and appreciation of my work.

Tim Campbell

We’ve used Rae Duncan & team to design our entire design built home including the most spectacular basement man cave design - EVER! They offer the complete package and have the ability to take your space from good to unbelievably GREAT!

My company (Grand Appliance) and myself have worked with Rae and her team on numerous occasions over the past four years. I highly recommend her and her team. We have outfitted many high end kitchen suites (Subzero/Wolf, Thermador, Miele etc.) and the finished results have been amazing! Her designs are exceptional! We look forward to working with her more in the future!

Jared Marcus

Rae and Amanda are the best. They did a killer job on my 2 bed/2 bath condo in the city. Highly recommend.

Jill Bardwell

I can't say enough wonderful things about Rae Duncan Interior Design. After moving into our new home which needed some extensive updating, I reviewed a few firms that neighbors had recommended and fell in love with RDID! I had a general idea of what I wanted, but simply didn't have time to execute, and Alissa helped take all the guesswork out of planning, designing, and coordinating all of the work that needed to be done. I get lost in the details, so having someone do all of that for me was so worth it. The end product was beautiful (masonry, fireplace retiling, bookshelf installation, dining room design), and I'm already itching to ramp up on another update around the house!

We are so happy with the outcome of this project. We relied so heavily on Rae Duncan to guide every last detail. The finished space is so much more than what I originally had imagined.

Liz Bertrand

Rae and her RDID team did an excellent job on our condo renovation. The contractors she works with are also true professionals who strive for perfection. We appreciated the practical guidance Rae and her team gave us as we chose designs and items for our home. Each member listened closely and picked up on our personal style preferences and needs. We also found RDID’s project management to be helpful and a huge time-saver for us. We would highly recommend RDID and are incredibly pleased with the gorgeous new interior of our home.
