Megan Grehl

Working with Megan and her team and you will be embraced by a fountaine of inspiration. Professional in all aspects of the design process her approach and sensibility towards the clients intentions is outstanding. Working in the furniture design world myself I recognize the 'feeling' the 'nuance' the 'beauty' she brings to shine in the vast portfolio of projects - residential, commercial and artistic alike It is my honor to collaborate with Megan - and to learn from her talent to merge interior design with a very personal, open minded perspective.

Megan brought us on to collaborate on the millwork package for a high end residential project in Miami. Working with Megan has been a wonderful experience as she and her team consistently bring rigor, innovation and professionalism to the table. The project has manifested a distinguished level of elegance, both grandiose and measured, which lends itself to Megan's ability to balance style and practicality. Megan's cultivated sensibility combined with her strong work ethic make she and her team an example of excellence in the field. We value the vendor relationship we've fostered and look forward to future opportunities to work with Megan.

I collaborated with Megan and her team on a residential project in Bryant Park. I work with many designers and found the process of working with her team to be very dynamic and creative. If either of us pushed back on an initial idea or request, both parties reacted thoughtfully, respectfully and remained flexible. This is critical to any design process. Each member of her staff was attentive and paid attention to the details. Megan's ambition and business sensibilities really compliment her creative work and allow it to shine. I began my career as a furniture designer and now practice as a fine artist. Similar to me, Megan also changed industries from city planning/urban design to interior design, and our abilities to jump from different design scales and mediums allows us to appreciate each other's professional processes and bring a new eye and fresh perspective to our respective industries. I am a fan of her work and her professionalism – I cannot wait to collaborate with her again in the future.

The Megan Grehl team is highly professional and has wonderful designs. They are accessible and listen to their clients. I've been working with them for about five years on many projects as a vendor for furniture and lighting. I'm always excited about seeing the completion of a project because I know it's beautiful and exactly with the client wanted.

Professional, positive, timely, flexible, knowledgeable, current, creative, inspiring... These are just some of the words I'd use to describe our experience with Megan and her staff. Our particular job had some very tight budgetary and time constraints that might have sent some people running. Megan managed the construction and design with ease and took any bumps along the way in stride. We were looking for an updated version of mid-century to remodel the main living space of our 1963 CA ranch style home. We appreciated Megan's ability to blend both new and vintage elements into our space. Megan also custom designed several pieces that garner the perfect amount of attention. She brought in more natural light, clean lines, hard and soft touches that embraced both our needs and her personal style. Overall she helped us achieve the perfect balance of form and function that we wanted and needed in our home. Did I mention that she managed to do this all within budget? I look forward to working with Megan Grehl again and would highly recommend her.

A true professional, Megan is a talented and well structured designer. She delivers on creativity, service, and overall personality. A real asset to any residential or commercial project.

I've been working with Megan and her team for nearly two years now. We've been privileged to supply the light switches and outlets for many of her residential projects, and we always enjoy the process. Megan and her very capable team take the details seriously, and always have a clear vision of what they need and how to do it. We look forward to many more projects together!

We've worked with Megan and her team on several projects as a vendor partner for furniture, lighting, and accessories. Megan continues to impress project after project and we always love seeing the impeccable, thoughtful design work that her team pulls together. With a long-standing partnership over the years, we've followed Megan's work and career while enjoying the ease of collaborative and prompt communication from her and her team throughout each project.

I've worked with Megan and her team on multiple high end residential remodeling projects in NYC and surrounding areas. Her aesthetic range and eye for detail are inspiring. She and her team have always been easy to work with and great with communication. She's one of a kind. Looking forward to collaborating on future projects...

I had a list of 10 designers that we were choosing from, and we chose Megan. I worked with Megan and her team on a large condo renovation in Brooklyn, in which she helped with the renovation design as well as interior decorating. Megan and her team are a creative force -- the amount of creativity that they bring to the table, combined with the various relationships she has to bring some of the best to the project (millworkers, custom furniture) made our renovation truly one of a kind. The professionalism, both in how we interacted and how responsive they were, combined with the 3D models were immensely helpful in helping to make decisions, and Megan and her team brought in a unique perspective and level of detail that really made a difference in how everything came together. She was also very flexible and patient, as I changed my mind many times! I would definitely work with Megan again, and highly recommend it for a truly unique experience.

We had a wonderful experience working with Megan's team for our second floor addition to a 1950's modernist cottage in the North Fork of Long Island. Megan and her team listened to our objectives and desires for the space and came up with special design options that met our needs and looked gorgeous. Megan created a relaxing oasis for us that is unique and has a soft spa and airy feel. We have had a chance to now live in Megan's design for a year, and her attention to detail and materials has made it a pleasure to be here. We would recommend her very highly.

Engaged Megan to help design and manage some custom millwork for my home office. Megan and her team were exceptionally well organized and helped me think through my needs. The team worked with a local craftsman to build and install the shelving and desk unit, as well as helping choose a new wallpaper that would fit well with the wood and metal. Megan was accountable and responsive on choices and costs at every step in the process - I get so many compliments on my home office and love working there!

I am currently working on a complex project with Megan Grehl in NYC. The creativity and knowledge this team brings only adds to their outstanding ability to design, coordinate, and facilitate our project, They are design experts, extremely organized, and offer state of the art technology with their drawings, models, and presentations. I applaud their passion, dedication, attention to every detail, and the fact that they truly care. They always have amazing suggestions while ensuring the interests of the client is their priority. I have great respect and admiration for Megan and her team. If you have the opportunity to meet them I would highly recommend it!

We worked with Megan's team to design a custom cushion seating area. The professionalism and quality of their work is exceptional. The attention to detail and the care their team put into making sure everything was perfect and ran smoothly was wonderful. They really take care of their clients and really can make a space a dream come true. I highly recommend working with Megan and her team!

Megan and her team were professional, intelligent, and very helpful through our entire process. We had a few small issues handling items shipping internationally and the entire time Megan and her team were actively managing and resolving the situation. Highly recommend.

I loved working with Megan Grehl in Shanghai! It was a thrilling time and she made it so fun and I felt like a part of the team. She may have been starting out, but it was clear she was both an artist and gifted designer. It was dream project and we were so happy our home and Megan were recognized in Architectural Digest Asia as a result. We love you Megan!

Megan's team did an incredible job on our new home. We met with several designers including various groups we have used before in other apartments; however, we found Megan to be unique in that she wanted to get to know us as people before tackling the projects at hand. We started with a completely blank canvas which allowed us to really start fresh and think outside the box. Megan's team did a great job making us feel like we were part of the creative process while maintaining an element of structural organization. She put us in touch with several furniture makers directly and that helped us get much more educated as well as be directly involved with customizations They were very knowledgable, made the most with our budget, and provided a dedication to a game plan.

We worked as contractors with Megan and her team on a film director's 5000 square foot luxury residence renovation in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. Megan was a great designer to work with- she was on site much of the time, always reachable and communicative while based in New York, and brought some incredibly creative problem solving to the project. During the design process, Megan was organized and relayed her plans readily, clearly, and on time. Megan has extreme attention to detail and was a great project manager, so it made the process efficient and smooth. For this project, we renovated the kitchen, hard wood floors throughout the house, Master bedroom and bathroom, painting, electrical, and plumbing updates. We plan to work with Megan Grehl Design again on more residences in Los Angeles. Currently working on a prospective project in Playa Del Rey and in San Francisco.

Very creative, warm and caring. Concerns about detail and how things come together. we had a very large project and Megan was informed and thoughtful about it from the get go. She is creative force

I hired Megan to decorate my apartment, and now that the project is done, I can say that I am thrilled that I hired her! My apartment was furnished when Megan stepped in, but I felt like the space fell flat and needed some personality injected into it. Megan and her team did just that and a lot more. I didn’t realize my apartment needed the facelift that it did until Megan and her team guided me through their thought process. They led me through the project with ease, starting from the first day they visited. They touched on what it was like to work with a team and what to expect through the process. They worked closely with me by making me feel included in choices and were always patient when other priorities took precedent. They never made me feel rushed, and constantly came to me with solutions. When we consulted on the aesthetic and concept of the space, Megan and her team understood exactly what the space needed. The architecture in my space is very angular, so Megan suggested making the space more feminine by layering soft shapes and textures. Megan curated focal points in my apartment, and treated each area with attention to detail – including additions I would have never thought were important! At the same time, each area spoke to each other with matching elements. The team sourced furniture, lighting, living room accessories, bathroom accessories, artwork, and tableware. One area that I love in particular is the hallway. Megan creatively designed a gallery-wall by framing Calico wallpaper and paired it with Gabriel Scott benches and a brass pendant she designed. My favorite feature of Megan’s service was how she elevated the decor with her own custom products. Megan took concepts and ideas that I mentioned and brought them to life through her own designs, personal contacts and capabilities. The team designed and fabricated custom brass paperweights, brass candlesticks, and pendant lighting. I love how I have pieces in my apartment that are thoughtfully designed and not just picked up from a chain store. This gave my home a unique touch. Another aspect that won over my trust is Megan completely understood the importance of a budget. There are some items that are investment pieces for me right now in this stage of my life, so she knew where to potentially cut costs to ensure everything – high and low – could fit in a comfortable budget. I have already referred Megan Grehl Design to friends who have used her services! I have heard nothing but positive feedback from friends and contacts that have worked with Megan after a referral. They have even contracted her to do additional projects!

I have worked with Megan on several high end residential interiors. Her team puts together a series of stand-out concepts and works with my shop through completion of the last details. Megan is a truly talented designer with a great eye for contemporary spaces. I look forward to working with her again!

I worked with Megan for a retail space end of year in 2016. She and her team was amazing from day 1. I put together a mood board and after the 1st meeting Megan and her team already knew exactly what I was looking for. When she came back with her design options it really wasn't that hard to finalize. Only minor changes due functionality. Amazing interior designer ! Amazing Team ! Thank you for the beautiful space !

I found Megan Grehl through a referral and I couldn't be happier with the job she has done! Megan Grehl Design handled the Design, Board Package Submission and Project Management for the renovation of my NYC apartment. I hired Megan initially to come up with designs for a bathroom and kitchen renovation in my NYC apartment. First and foremost, Megan has a great eye and design aesthetic. She really took the time to understand what I was looking for, rather than push her ideas on me. She came up with several initial concepts to provide with me different alternatives for the space. I really appreciated that Megan understands the nuances of a NYC renovation - especially the need for storage everywhere and anywhere! Her designs were beautiful!! We went through an extensive board approval process and Megan had to create technical drawings (e.g. plumbing and electrical diagrams) in addition. I was so impressed with Megan's design that I hired her and her team to also serve as project manager through the construction. What's great about Megan Grehl Design is you can choose services a la carte, so Megan can do for you as much or as little as you needed. I work full-time so having Megan and her team were a huge help to me. Megan and her team met with contractors (I think it's important to note Megan only suggested contractors which she had prior experience with, something that was very important to me), obtained multiple quotes, created project schedules, handled calls and onsite meetings with contractors and sub-contractors, sourced materials, completed onsite reviews during the project, and (perhaps most importantly) helped keep me calm throughout the stressful renovation. My project is around 1 month from completion and I am very pleased with the results thus far. There are definitely elements which Megan has added which I wouldn't have thought of myself, but absolutely love! I look forward to sharing before/after photos when the project is completed!

Megan was such a pleasure to work with - even though our project didn't end up moving beyond the initial proposal stage. My husband and I are in the Los Angeles area and were worried we wouldn't be able to be as involved as we wanted to be with Megan Grehl Design being located in New York City. We were aware that Megan had on-going design projects in LA as well as local associates, which was very reassuring, but we were expecting a baby and just thought a local designer would perhaps make more sense logistically. With all that being said - Megan truly listened to what I was looking for, and was so quick to offer a design proposal that was exactly what I expressed I wanted - and more (this is the precise reason to be hiring a designer!). She was able to translate my scattered likes and dislikes into beautiful, sophisticated spaces that I wanted to live in immediately! Aside from her impeccable taste, she had a lot of other qualities we looked for in a designer: quick to answer emails, incredibly organized, transparent about pricing, always had time to answer our millions of questions - even with a few conference calls, and finally - she was never pushy with us when it came time to make a decision about selecting a designer (a trait we unfortunately weren't able to get with our LA designer). I'm excited to eventually work with Megan as Megan Grehl Design continues to grow their presence in Los Angeles.

I entrusted Megan Grehl to transform my new NYC apartment into a beautiful, comfortable place to live. I desired a design that would reflect my personality and style - clean, contemporary, feminine, and soft. I really liked the mood boards since they helped me to imagine what my space could look like. Megan was receptive to my feedback and also addressed my specific needs, such as selecting custom black out blinds to provide almost complete darkness to improve my sleep. Megan did an excellent job designing my apartment with a neutral color scheme with just the right amount of feminine colors, accents and textures. I especially like the lighting she chose for the space. She really thought about how to make sure that the apartment was balanced and felt like a home, not a startup office. She also helped me decide in which pieces to invest and how I could save money in other areas. My apartment has become a place where I really enjoy spending time and relaxing. I was not an easy person to work with, so I appreciated the flexibility and patience that Megan and her team had when working with me. They were always available to be on site to help with the contractors. Megan was also available for video calls to go over ideas. It was my first time working with a professional designer for my home, and I am very pleased with the results of the project and working with Megan and her team.
