Worked with Jill and her team to create a more elevated look to my Christmas decor. She was so great to work with and the final outcome was fantastic! She found unique and elegant items that made my mantle, staircase, dining table and outdoor decor look amazing! And she came in right on budget! I would certainly work with Jill again!!

I booked Jill for a 2-hour in-home consultation to talk about a small project that we were doing ourselves, but i wanted a professional design opinion on before starting. Jill had wonderful ideas and gave us all the info we needed to do the project on our own! She also drew up a floorplan of the room right on the spot and emailed it to us after, which was great to be able to easily send to our contractor.
I would absolutely work with Jill again!

We have done several projects with Jill Rae Designs at our home in Ridgefield. We bought our house nearly 10 years ago, and when we were finally ready to do all of the renovations we had been dreaming of, we went to Jill and her team. They have transformed our space in the most amazing ways, from our custom built-ins in our family room to our gorgeous kitchen remodel, which made our space so much more functional and elevated at the same time. We often host large groups of family for extended stays and dinners, and our home is so much better suited to our needs (not to mention much more beautiful) after working with Jill and her team. They have also helped us with smaller projects, including window treatments and reupholstering chairs. We could not be happier with our experience. Highly recommend!

Jill and her team of design experts did an amazing job. Having moved into a new home I had more projects and design needs than I could handle. Jill, Kim, and Mariah listened and incorporated their design ideas creating a stunning and cozy home. I love it and appreciate their talent. I would highly recommend them.

My husband and I started working with Jill Rae Designs about a year ago to give our living room and den a needed refresh. We were newly empty nesters and the furniture we had was worn and mismatched. We decided if we were going to spend money on new furniture and decor, we should get some professional help. The final result is so much better than we expected and working with Jill, Kim and Mariah throughout the process was a blast. They were so enthusiastic about our home and its potential and really leaned into the cool, midcentury vibe that we were going for. We didn't have a proper entryway and they came up with an awesome idea to add a bar in the empty space by the front door. They designed the entire bar, which is amazing and really elevates the whole room. In the end, we spent more money than we originally expected because their ideas were too good to pass up, but we could not be more happy. I will definitely use them again when we're ready to tackle more rooms! Including before and after pics.

We have been working with Jill Rae and her team for over a year now. From an outdated primary bath redesign to updating rooms throughout our home, Jill and her team have been amazing. Jill's eye for detail, ability to get our vision, all while staying within budget, is commendable. We highly recommend them and look forward to working with this team on future projects.
