The Velvet Plum, distinctive designs

Jennifer is a creative designer who is cognizant of a client's tastes and parameters. She is exceptional with color and using a variety of elements to create a finished project that reflects the tastes of the customer. Jennifer has the ability to suggest many ideas/solutions to designing issues in a matter of minutes and is able to communicate her visions of a finished product well.

Jennifer is one of the hardest, most talented designers I know. She is easy to work with and very personable. She will make sure her vision is perfect and what the client wants is implemented. Her high integrity, talent and work ethic are a wonderful combination! I would highly recommend her.

The designer and staff of the Velvet Plum are extremely creative in their vision for interior design. They think beyond the box and turn conventional ideas upside down to solve problems or create memorable spaces. Their use of color and unusual accessories makes those spaces vivid and successful, and their positive outlook and demeanor make them all a joy to work with.

My husband and I have worked with Jennifer Imamura, designer and owner of the Velvet Plum for over 18 years in various homes we've owned. Jennifer has a beautiful, creative and detailed eye to design. Jennifer and her team have worked hand and hand with us on many rooms in our residence, listening to our needs and tailoring just the right design to our style and spaces. The end result have been a beautiful, effortless, comfortable flow throughout our home, providing us a soft refuge each day and a warm, welcoming place for all of our family and friends. Jennifer and her team at the Velvet Plum are professional, skilled, friendly and warm. In addition, The Velvet Plum has a beautiful showroom which has many fabulous items available from furniture to just the right accessory to the perfect gift for someone! Also, the Velvet Plum has many great resources whether you're searching for just the right fabric/wallpaper, lighting, floor coverings or furniture, the possiblities are unique and endless. My husband and I would highly recommend Jennifer Imamura and the Velvet Plum for all of your design wishes. We have referred several colleagues and friends to the Velvet Plum and they have all been pleased as well.

My home looks beautiful after working with the Velvet Plum. We worked with Jennifer from the beginning stages of building our home to completion. She is professional, has original ideas and is easy to work with. My home is beautifully designed and the furnishings are not only gorgeous, but warm and inviting.

I have not had the pleasure of working with Jennifer from The Velvet Plum on a remodel but have seen her work in the homes of many friends. These showplaces look like the photos in magazines. Jennifer's sense of style is impeccable and shows through her work; whether it's a Bohemian walk out basement or a Country French total home redo. I have purchased many items from The Velvet Plum and have been very satisfied with their price and quality.

Jennifer and Staff at The Velvet Plum helped me fully renovate and decorate an 11,000 sq foot house with 18 rooms in record time of less than 6 months. We chose a coastal, neo-traditional look that was airy and muted colorful. Jennifer, the owner, has the artistic expression and industry savvy to find just the right pieces of furniture and accessories at all price points. She is well-connected to furniture and accessory manufacturers, design centers, unique artisans, seamstresses, woodworkers, and buidling contractors. She knows how to use existing furniture or inexpensively modify it, to incorporate into the space. Each of the 18 rooms flowed with the next, however each having their own unique personality. There was nothing cookie-cutter about any room and I was confident that I would not see the exact look in any other home. Various rooms have appeared in recognized home magazines.

We hired The Velvet Plum to completely redecorate our newly purchased house. Jennifer made a spot-on assessment of our style and tastes and our home looks fantastic. Although we still have two rooms yet to finish, we get compliments from everyone who visits. Jennifer is not a designer who follows trends, but one who makes them. She has also been able to work with many of our existing accessories, furniture and art work. She has an incredible ability to visualize, and although we hesitated at one point over paint colors, we had to admit in the end that she was right. She is flexible and patient, and careful to make sure everything is well planned and well executed. Our experience has been fun and I love to just sit in such beautiful spaces.

Jennifer internalizes first the customer's aspirations for their decorating project, then designs a proposal that exceeds their expectations. She embodies a service standard that puts the customer interests at the forefront of all decisions, which sets the foundation for a trusting business relationship that has translated into a very loyal clientele. Jennifer's attention to detail, passion for quality, and flare for creative design solutions distinguish her as the first person you should call for any decorating initiative you may be considering.

Jennifer has done work for myself, my daughter and my country club. In each instance, she has listened to the client, made suggestions and executed the work within or under budget and on time. All three projects involved different tasks, but you know with Jennifer, your small or large task is her most important job at that time. I would recommend her for any task, large or small.

I was very fortunate to work with Jennifer when we moved into our new home in downtown Plymouth. I admit that I am aesthetically challenged and she was extremely patient and helpful in determining colors, fabrics, furniture options, configurations and accessories that reflect me and my family. She has also remained available over the years when my home needed updating or changes. Jennifer is the consummate professional with a war personality and quick sense of humor. I would recommend her to anyone.

The Velvet Plum went above and beyond to create for me a beautiful living space. Selections presented to me were all of the utmost in quality and design. The designer has an inspiring sense of style, and is skilled in translating your personal taste into a space that is modern, fresh and sophisticated. Most of all, the quality of time, labor and thought that was put into creating my chic room surpasses many in the industry. Fees charged were more than fair considering the amount of time and effort that went into the final product. I highly recommend The Velvet Plum for anyone of discerning taste who is looking to create a space worthy of landing on the pages of Architectural Digest, ELLE Decor and the likes.
