Reviews of BENAVIDES DESIGN HOUSE (Interior Designer)

Lisa Dirr

It was such a pleasure to work with Oscar and Kristen! We reached out to them in the very early stages of planning for 2 different projects in our home: to re-envision the exterior facade of our home to include an extra window and a portico, and to convert a screened in porch to a sunroom. Kristen was always very fast to respond, polite and kind. Oscar met with us on several occasions to walk through our home to hear our initial wishes and to then walk through the spaces with us and a contractor to fine tune our design options and his plans for the spaces. Oscar was extremely knowledgeable of construction requirements necessary to transform these spaces in our home. We appreciated his patience and flexibility as we sometimes changed our minds during the design process. The visual renderings they provided were beautiful as well as helpful for my husband who often needs to see something to envision the end product. We look forward to moving forward with contractors to develop the budget to make their renderings come to life in our home! Highly recommended!

We are so grateful to be working with Benavides Design House! Kristen and Oscar made planning for our kitchen makeover easy. They clearly outlined the steps and plan for us upfront and their communication and response times are excellent. From the initial meeting and truly understanding our needs to the designs, 3D renderings, and a 'field trip' to make our selections - they are helping us to make our dream kitchen a reality. Benavides Design House's extensive knowledge, attention to detail, and strong relationships with contractors and industry providers has saved us so much time and made the entire process exciting and enjoyable. We've already met with and received quotes from trusted contractors they recommended. They've given us the confidence to move forward with this project. We are thrilled with their service and professionalism. We highly recommend Benavides Design House!

My husband and I were born and raised in NC and recently relocated to NJ from CA. We wanted to design our bathroom to keep with our southern “farmland” roots but mix that with our CA spa retreats feel. We sought out Benavides Home Design to help us with our vision and they certainly exceeded our expectations. Starting with the 3D rendering Oscar created for us to give a visual of what the finished goal would reveal, to having everything we needed to make our contractor process run seamlessly. They rose to every architectural and design challenge of this high tech, spa like bathroom and have personal attention to detail every step of the way. They have helped us create a home we love coming home to, and one that most certainly will make an easier resell in the future. I cannot recommend Oscar and Kristen enough and will most definitely use them for future projects on our home.

When my husband and I decided to open a small restaurant in Medford, we sought out Benavides Design House. There is a lot to consider when it comes to restaurant design. Kristen and Oscar listened to our ideas and brought back a design that was in sync with our vision. They proved to be a team of true professionals, super creative and were great people to work with. We are so grateful for their expert advice, for how they went above and beyond from the beginning with their close attention to detail. Their beautiful 3D renderings served as a visual to guide us and will give future customers a sneak peek of our place. We have a high standard and expected nothing less than perfection on this project and Kristen and Oscar delivered big time. We would highly recommend them for your home or commercial project.

If you have the opportunity to work with Benavides Design House you should consider yourself lucky. Kristen and Oscar are both powerhouses in Interior Design, planning, budgeting and execution. I can’t say enough good things about my experiences with them. Each challenge was overcome efficiently and quickly which kept my project moving forward. I always knew where I was in the process and they kept me up to date in terms of billing and scheduling. When I am ready to tackle the bedrooms I am going back to BDH.

Trust your gut! I decided to go with Benevides Design House for help with my living room & dining room redesign because it "felt" right. I didn't even entertain the thought of meeting or even talking to any additional designers. And thank goodness for that. Kristen took my dark, small-ish space and helped me transform it into the pretty, welcoming, and open space that I've been craving (but had NO idea how to bring to fruition on my own). She listened to me, respected my budget, entertained my emails when I second-guessed myself (note to self: ALWAYS trust Kristen!), and stayed profession & so darn likable through it all! I stare at the transformation daily & just smile, smile, smile. Can't wait to start tackling further home projects with BDH! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I once thought that I was pretty good at interior design. Guess what, I'm not! I got smart and enlisted Kristen's help. Boy, did she deliver! After precise measurements, she presented a floor plan and design for my living room. She suggested several types of pieces in varying budgets for me to consider. Thanks to her expertise, my living room now has the "WOW!" factor I was looking for. It looks like it's straight out of a magazine - gorgeous. My family and friends keep telling me how amazing it looks. I'm so happy!

Kristen and Oscar were great to work with. Their ideas were very helpful and creative. Their price was fair and reasonable. Kristen was very helpful in picking fixtures. They both saw the job through to completion. We would highly recommend this company

Hiring kristen to help make my new house a home was the best decision for my family. I will say I was a bit skeptical at first because my husband and I had a very different point of view on aesthetics and I wasn’t sure we could create a space that reflected both our styles. In her own words, Kristen is a chameleon. She was able to marry our styles in a way that we could not have done ourselves. From the layout, to the selected pieces, responsiveness to all our questions, and managing the budget, Kristen made the process seamless (actually fun!) She is a true professional and I thank her for bringing our space to life so beautifully. I would recommend Benavides Design House 100%.
