“D2 has a unique business proposition: they do absolutely everything,

from designing and custom-making furniture, to finding and managing the craftsmen who renovate your home, to ensuring there are great towel hooks in your bathroom and the right lightbulbs in your fixtures. Having made expensive design mistakes in the past--and having dealt with flaky designers and AWOL contractors-- we were all too happy to hand the keys to Denise and her team when we bought a new house. Frankly, though, we were a little skeptical. We didn't really expect her to deliver on all her promises, which included finishing our renovation and furnishing our house top to bottom in less than three months, with a three-month lead time to plan the project, and only four in-person meetings. 

She not only delivered on all counts, but exceeded our expectations. Wildly. She transformed a dark and dated mid-century house that had some major design challenges (ever tried designing a kitchen when you have windows but no walls?!) into a light, bright, vibrant home that's sophisticated without being pretentious and fun without looking kitschy. We wake up every morning and can't believe this is actually our house!

The D2 process is unusual and not only painless but actually enjoyable. There's what can best be described as a style Rorschach test, where you look at a ton of photos of rooms and say what you like and don't like, and then a presentation at the D2 studio, where Denise shows you her ideas for every room in your house, complete with fabric samples and detailed renovation specs. For us, this was incredibly efficient and helpful because we don't have the time or desire to run around from one store to the next with a designer, nor do we have the imagination to picture what everything will look like when it's all put together. Then you get a spreadsheet of what everything on your wish list costs, so you can weigh your priorities and veto items line by line. By the time renovation begins, you know exactly what you're getting into and what it will cost -- and you don't even have to go to your house to check on things because D2 has everything covered. "

In fact, the only surprise for us was the unbelievably high quality of every single person D2 works with -- not a dud in the whole bunch. From Carly and Erin at D2, who handle all the logistics and legwork and couldn't be more helpful and creative, to the contractor to the painter to the floor refinisher to the upholsterer to the carpenter to the sofa manufacturer to the custom rug maker, it's a dream team made up of experts who take tremendous pride in their work -- and who will all go the extra mile for Denise. And you know all those pesky little post-reno details that are too small for anyone to address, like the ding on the cupboard and the weird noise the new refrigerator makes? D2 has all that covered, too. The project isn't finished until every last detail has been taken care of. The customer service orientation is as good as it gets. 

Denise is truly professional in every way. She's energetic, positive, highly creative and ridiculously fun to work with, and she has a not-so-secret agenda: your happiness. Not just your happiness with her services but your happiness, period.

“Working with Denise and her team was a total pleasure.

I found them on Houzz even though they were in my 'backyard', yeah Houzz! AND we use images from Houzz to guide us through. They have a great, structured process that makes designing (in our case almost an entire home!) pleasurable and, to be honest, easy. They advocated for what they knew to be a consistent vision for the finished product all the way through; from meetings with the architectural team through the last layer. It's our home and we live in it comfortably. It doesn't look 'decorated' as if somebody came in and did something TO the house. They listened to my vision and sourced all the necessary items to make our renovated home a reflection of who we are today. Thank you!”

“My husband and I hired D2 to help us with the complete renovation of a circa 1830's farmhouse just outside of New York City. We have two young boys, and we needed designs that fit both my very colorful taste and their very destructive ways. D2 had an efficient design process that allowed us to get to work before the renovation was complete and the move was underway. I did not want to go shopping in the D&D building to pick from a million different stores. I did not have to. I sat at a table with Denise and her team, and we sorted through photos and fabrics until we had the look we were going for in each room. We moved into a house still under renovation in late August, and within weeks, I began to receive furniture and window treatments.

They listened to my tastes, incorporated family pieces, and helped me make  choices.

Their choices of dramatic lighting, beautiful fabrics, and their custom pieces like my dining room table and sofas are stunning. They also helped me with choices related to our kitchen and bathrooms, from the cabinet styles to the lighting, to the knobs and pulls, they helped bring it all together. Everyone who steps into my kitchen lets out an audible gasp! As for the two little boys? Vinyl wallpaper in the downstairs powder room looks stunning and resists their wet hands, the couch in their play area is everyone's favorite because it is so comfortable, and my stools and chair cushions all have wax protection that keeps marinara sauce and chocolate at bay. 

It is a beautiful, comfortable, happy home. I have worked with other designers that can take a year and a half to finish a project. Denise and her team move at a much more rapid pace, which suited my needs. They have strong relationships with their partners and can get things moving when they need to.

Denise and her team have a great aesthetic and can quickly - and affordably - turn a nice home into something fun and special.

They really complement each others to make an incredible team with the unique knack of making a room feel beautiful and joyous while but not overdone. We've loved working with them and look forward to staying in touch as we continue to evolve as our family grows.

“Denise and her team are AMAZING.

They are great to work with and go the extra mile to make sure that I'm happy with everything. They have great taste and vision. I would absolutely recommend working with them. It's made the process fun and enjoyable! I would absolutely recommend working with them. It's made the process fun and enjoyable!”

“We hired D2 in our initial stages of building our first home. We were overwhelmed to say the least; however, as soon as Denise and her team took over they put us both at ease.

They helped us with everything from door knobs to paint colors to furniture and then some.

They designed truly unique custom built-ins and pieces that make our home unique. They work fast without missing out on any detail. They are an amazing team and each one adds so much to the project. They have impeccable taste and have always kept our taste and lifestyle in mind while designing. Any time a problem arose or I needed to ask a question, one of them was immediately available either by email or phone or even in person if needed. I have also found that when a problem does arise they fix it immediately and with no effort from us. They take care of everything and are truly a full service operation. We are still working with them and can't wait to see how the rest of the project turns out! We get so many compliments on our new home!”

“Denise and the D2 staff delivered an INCREDIBLE design of our home. We felt so cared for and so well understood by Denise.

The outcome really speaks for itself. We are so happy in our home, and we are not alone in our admiration of D2's work. After walking through our house, a friend said to me: "There is something indescribably amazing about each room and yet it's somehow not over the top."

At the outset of our home redesign, I worried I would hate the process. My fears were quickly put to rest. There's something about Denise -- her optimism, her genuine love and acumen for design, and her stop-at-nothingness to get a job done right -- that made this a truly enjoyable and exciting process. I'm (almost) sorry to see it end.

Denise quickly "got" us. She understood when to push us and when to take a step back. It became very easy to trust Denise and the D2 crew. As a result, our home is a true reflection of our taste and style AND it addresses practical considerations for our family (we have two children ages 5 and 3).

Denise's attention to every detail is what let me sleep at night during our home redesign. She's ON IT. Her patience and energy are seemingly endless and she cares. Deeply. She makes herself available and is responsive to every phone call. She collaborated with our architect and our contractor -- both of whom shared with us that they loved working with D2 (and are working with them on future projects)... which was really meaningful to us. D2's relationships with furniture manufacturers, mill workers, fabric designers, stone yards, etc make life so much easier.

In the end, both the process and the outcome far exceeded our expectations. I had no reason to worry. It was an absolute pleasure to undergo this process with D2.”

My wife and I hired D2 when we moved from NYC to Fairfield County. We had very little furniture so D2 Interieurs were tasked with designing an entire home. First they listened to us to get an idea of our tastes and preferences. Then they quickly came up with ideas and actual options for every room that were a combination of our design preferences and their unique aesthetic. They pushed us to go a little past our initial comfort zone, but now we are so thankful because the result is a fresh and unique look that is bold yet will stand the test of time.  Another major strength is the contractors and vendors that D2 works with...

they have some really amazing and talented people ready to take on projects. D2 is unique and impressive!!”

“D2 Interieurs was incredibly organized as they oversaw cosmetic construction and full furnishing of our second home. In terms of decorating drama, there was none—and for that, I am very grateful. I’m not a tinkerer. I wanted all the decorating to be done and totally finished, so that my family could live here and not worry about anything and be cozy. 

Denise and I had a strong collaborative bond, and worked together almost all virtually.

We did the entire project by email, my working schedule that doesn’t allow for time to shop. Denise and her team made it very easy for us - we only actually went to the house twice through the whole process and we are very happy with the results.” - Lily Burns, co-founder of Jax Media
