Testimonials

Read what some of our past clients have to say…

“Collaborating with Samantha was a very rewarding experience. She not only met but exceeded our expectations by creating a stunning space tailored precisely to our needs and preferences. We recently purchased a new home and the thought of decorating the large open floor plan myself was daunting. Samantha made the entire process smooth and streamlined. From selecting furniture pieces and fabrics to choosing drapery styles and lighting fixtures, her guidance and expertise were invaluable. She transformed our great room, dining room, kitchen combo into an upscale modern farmhouse aesthetic keeping it light, bright, and airy with pops of modern blue accents. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and enjoyable demeanor made the entire collaboration a pleasure. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking to elevate their home.”

“I just finished two huge projects with Sam. I had her completely redo my bedroom and my family room. She is amazing!! She listened to my vision and both rooms turned out exactly as I hoped. I am beyond happy with everything she did- from the furniture to the rugs and artwork. I would absolutely recommend using Sam to anyone I know!”

– Sue E. Kennett Square, PA

 

“I am absolutely in love with my new space! It is everything that I wanted!  Sam made my vision come to life. If I didn’t like something, she gave me an alternative. I felt very comfortable telling her if I didn’t like something. There was no pressure. There’s something to be said about a designer’s eye. I don’t think I have bad taste or style, but I just couldn’t piece it all together. Even my husband loves it and is on board with Sam helping us with our other rooms now. That right there says it all! If you’re on the fence, do it! It’s worth it! It makes me smile every single day. Thank you, Sam!!”

“I am ecstatic with how Samantha has transformed our ‘room with a view’ into an inviting, comfortable & perfectly designed space. Her taste is impeccable and her personality is just lovely. She has communicated so well during this trying time and I’m eager for her to do another room!”

“I called SJS Designs because I wanted the entrance to my home to look inviting and make a statement of elegance and warmth.  From the moment I met Samantha, I knew I was in very capable hands.  She is professional, detailed and thorough in every sense of the word.

Samantha did an overall analysis of the style in the home before putting together a rendering which looked absolutely great and achieved the look I wanted.  It was during this process that Samantha’s skills and talents became evident and even more so once the installation was complete. The finished product was more beautiful than I imagined and the extra attention to the placement of accessories really accentuated the area.  My foyer and hallway are absolutely amazing and the most attractive area of my home.  I am so pleased with the work Samantha did and truly appreciate all the communication along the way.  SJS Designs is not my first experience with interior designers having moved a good number of times and needing the help of a professional.  I can say without hesitation that Samantha is clearly the best I have encountered over the years.  I would highly recommend SJS Designs and guarantee Samantha will put your mind at ease and make your space amazingly beautiful.”

– Robert G. Middletown, DE

“Sam helped us use our unique and challenging space so much better than I could have imagined! And it’s beautiful. She was patient and understood our style while also helping us to get out of an outdated comfort zone. The furniture is beautiful, comfortable and very high quality. The real test – even our teenagers love it! Our second project is in design stages now and I am in love with what I see! She has gone the extra mile for more than furniture and window treatments, the flooring selection and paint selection was all pulled together with no stress and has made it all one easy process.”

– Ruth G. Greenville, DE

As soon as the owner entered our home we knew that we found the right person! She had a vision immediately that we never even considered. Her ideas were so spot on and unique and her understanding of space and flow is unmatched. Our project is now completed and we could not be more pleased. Both my husband and I got what we wanted! The owner is very punctual, clean and stays within the budget. I would definitely recommend SJS Designs to anyone!”

“Samantha made our first experience using a designer a fantastic experience. She was very responsive, listened to what we wanted and understood our family needs, as well as our budget. She explained the design process and made it so easy and seamless. Given the craziness of current delays in the industry, she always kept us up to date on where our furniture was in the process. We hired her for a complete family room makeover and we could not be more happy with the way it turned out. We would definitely hire her again and we will be recommending her to our friends.”

– Melissa M. Newark DE

“I personally love to decorate but our master bedroom was overwhelming! I couldn’t get my mind around how to update it and translate what was in my mind to actual design. Sam carefully listened to what I was thinking and came back with an amazing design that was more than I could have ever imagined. She was great about sticking with our budget, communicated every step of the way and we are literally over the moon with our new space!! It’s so serene and comfortable! Can’t wait to have Sam back for our next space update!!”

We tasked her with what we thought impossible, but her vision was perfect, and we loved every fabric, furniture, and decorative accent choice she presented at our first design meeting. Samantha is a true professional in every sense of the word, so friendly and easy to work with, and stays in constant contact throughout the entire process. When our next design project comes up, we will absolutely use SJS Designs.”
