Cohesively Curated

We have never worked with a interior designer before and didn't know what to expect or whether it would be worth the money. Several times during our kitchen remodel, we wholeheartedly agreed that Emily's advice, skills and insight were 100% worth it. She has the great combination of being able to listen to our ideas while providing opinions of her own. We were completely satisfied with her work and recommend Emily without hesitation.

Hiring Emily from Cohesively Curated as our interior designer was the best decision we made after purchasing our 3-floor, 4-bedroom 1950 Cape Cod house. Emily designed and project managed the remodel of 2 bathrooms in addition to updated wood flooring, paint, lighting fixtures, window treatments and providing other design consulting advice for the entire house. First, Emily's knowledge of styles, trends, materials, colors, and technical considerations make her an exceptional designer to have on any project. Coupled with her creativity and impeccable taste, Emily was also able to embrace our own vision and style as clients, and worked with us to achieve the bright modernized spaces we had in mind while still keeping the character and charm of the house. Emily provided top notch customer service throughout the entire process, always making herself available for calls or in person meetings and setting realistic expectations with us. We were also impressed with her excellent project management and problem solving skills, which were key to manage relationships with the multiple contractors on our project, overcome unforeseen challenges, and help us stay on track while ensuring high quality work was delivered. With our busy schedules, it was really invaluable to know Emily was on top of every detail! We keep getting compliments on our house remodel from guests, and could not be happier with the results! I highly recommend working with Emily on your interior design project, small or large. In fact, I am already looking forward to partnering with her on our kitchen remodel next year!

We purchased Emily’s consultation package (online, we aren’t local) earlier this year for our kitchen remodel - and then again a few months ago when we did our master bath because it was so incredibly helpful. I’d wholeheartedly recommend any design service of Emily’s to anyone considering working with her. Emily is such a pro. She’s organized, incredibly knowledgeable and can recommend specific products and specific coordinating finishes off the top of her head, reliable and prompt (with consultation she offers 30 minutes of follow up contact during your remodel - which was completely invaluable), and of course she has impeccable style. She’s also a lovely person and such a joy to work with. I knew for the most part how I wanted things to look in our space (otherwise I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her for full design), and I initially purchased Emily’s package because I thought it would help with my anxiety around making sure everything coordinated (it did!) - but the benefits I got from the service were so much more than that. Our finished product would not have turned out as nice if we hadn’t hired Emily, that’s really the bottom line. She looked at my inspiration photos and pointed out subtle things that my untrained eye didn’t really focus on, like that I always selected kitchen photos with the same cabinet, wall, and trim paint, or that all the photos I pinned for the bathroom had inset drawers. She also explained why certain things I picked out DID work, or one or two things to add to make everything cohesive. I feel like without these and other suggestions, our spaces would still look really nice - but not designed and elevated like they do now. The second huge thing that made working with Emily priceless, is her email support during the remodel. This was my first remodel and I thought the majority of my work would be picking out finishes. I always felt so unprepared when the contractor would ask things like “how much overhang do you want on the bathroom countertop” or “where do you want the knobs”. I learned that what the contractor says is “normal” was usually so different from the design photos on my inspiration board. I cannot imagine going through this process without Emily’s expert guidance and support. She really just has such a gift for what she does, and we feel very lucky to have been able to work with her. I felt like her rate was more than reasonable. It included so much more than I realized I was getting! After you Skype with her, she sends you a recorded video of the call. Then a few days later she sends a large written document detailing everything you talked about, specific paint colors and finishes she recommended (paint is overwhelming, there are SO many whites!?), links to certain tiles or quartz or fixtures she things would work well with what you talked about or already settled on, etc. Her full design services would be an incredible way for someone who doesn’t enjoy decorating to have a stylish home. Two thumbs up, all the stars, Emily’s amazing and if you’re considering her you won’t regret it
