About us

The common approach to Interior Design is to install the taste of the designer into the home of the client, leaving many homes looking like versions of one another. Our specialty is to hone in on your particular style or blend of styles, amp it up and create a reinterpreted design from that - ideally the end result looking like it might appear in the pages of World of Interiors! With that in mind, we'd love to discuss your project and look forward to your call.

Description of Work: The designer came in and helped us pick a style for our new house that encompassed both my husbands and my opinions. She was very professional. She went to different websites with us and showed us specific furniture that would look best in our space. I would highly recommend using this service if you need a jumpstart on your designing.

I bought the $79 deal, because I am remodelling my house. Jenny came out and gave me great advice on paint colors for my kids' rooms, the hallway and a bathroom. I also used her to sound off some other ideas. I never really considered myself the type to use an interior decorator (as anyone can see from my house), but this went so well. It was a very comfortable exchange, and I feel much more confident going on with my plans for my house. I plan to use her when it is time to tackle the kitchen/dining room/livingroom.

The deal turned out great. I am going to contact her for additional services. She had great ideas that she came up with on her own. She did not push her services and was very professional in the way she presented everything. Scheduling was not an issue.

The appointment went well, but not without a rocky start. The purpose of the appointment for the designer was an up-sale. I understand that, but it was a difficult meeting for both of us. We came to an understanding. Lovely lady.
Description of Work: We cleaned out a room and wanted assistance with making it into an office. Design ideas were discussed. Ideas via pictures, paint sample names and placement were provided.

Like art, decorating styles are very personal. If a decorator's style and your style do not jive, then best to move on to another decorator. No criticism of the company, just didn't 'click'.

She is a great communicator, with great ideas. However, we were not ready to employ her at this time. There is much for us to prepare, at her suggestion, in advance of using her services, which we intend to do when ready.

I have long admired Jenny Brennan of Ava Suren's exquisite taste and fabulous design sensibility, so when I got married and moved into my husband's home of 18 plus years, Jenny was my first telephone call. The house was slightly dated and, of more importance, my husband had lived there with not one but two previous spouses! OY! It didn't make sense for us to move as the house is in a great location and interesting architecturally, so the questions were how to update the look and how to transform the house into my home and into an expression of our new life together....without breaking the bank! In addition to bringing together a few must-have pieces of furniture and art from our different households, my husband and I had just re-painted the first two floors of the house so Jenny focused on blending together aspects of the color and design palette that were in place. My husband can be very particular so we chose our battles, identifying the few necessary purchases and choice upgrades, as well as offering several practical ideas about how we could revitalize what we already had and how we could improve our storage spaces. Our living room, dining room and kitchen have an open floor plan. Through select purchases such as oxidized steel bar stools, a matching coffee table, and mounting an exquisite Asian panel as a painting with colors echoed throughout the first floor, Jenny was able to unify the spaces. Knowing of my passion for collecting artifacts from our travels, Jenny was able to rearrange my finds by shape, materials, and color, transforming clutter into artfully displayed and aesthetically pleasing treasures. Simple custom-made doors and specially installed bins transformed ugly shelves into a tasteful entertainment center. Our pantry doubles as a laundry closet and through judicious installation of drawers and shelving, not only did we greatly increase the storage space, it was infinitely easier to find items and infinitely nicer to look at! We work at home and unfortunately my office is the last place that gets my attention! I am so grateful to Jenny for creating a room of my own that both soothes my spirit and inspires me to work. A place of calm where I can focus, yet expresses different facets of my personality. Once Jenny found the red desk that I love, a complementary credenza, and unique wooden boxes to present extraneous items, she set up the file cabinets, drawers, and practical storage bins to create an organized and efficient work-place. She helped me identify what i needed to have on hand and what could be archived in basement storage. Like many people, my home matters a great deal to me. A good designer is both a psychologist and an engineer, seeing into a person's soul and implementing practical solutions! I greatly value Jenny's sensitivity in seeing who I am and her formidable ability to translate that into an environment that is beautiful, comfortable, and functional.
Description of Work: Transformed our living room, kitchen, dining room, and office spaces through furniture, art and color selection. Reorganized living room, kitchen, dining room, pantry, laundry room, office and basement spaces.

It has been a great experience! I have never used a color consultant before and I loved Jenny's energy, precision, knowledge and enthusiasm for her work. She clearly has an eye for color (and design) and is smart, funny, and great to work with. One of the things I loved about her is what she taught me - she was able to explain why some things work and others don't and make sense of choices we were making and why we shouldn't make other choices. I love to learn, so this was great. I also really appreciated her extreme focus and precision. There is nothing laissez faire or sloppy about Jenny. She is so professional, but also great fun- personality plus! And she cares - to get it right, run around the extra miles and time. I cannot recommend her enough.
Description of Work: Jenny Brennan, Color Consultant, came to my home with books of paint colors and went through all possibilities of what would work in my living room and bathroom, taking into account and discussing my tastes and ideas. She then followed up with large boards with the colors we thought might work for me to sit with for some days and see how they looked. She then followed up with tweaking colors, running round getting samples and working with the paint mixers. She also gave me some interior design ideas while she was there.

Jenny was fantastic. She arrived at my house with incredible paint samples and even better energy. She took the time to get to know me and my overall style and then jumped full force into finding just the right paint colors for my space. She went beyond just selecting paint colors. She considered the light in my house, the overall environment and my lifestyle. Ultimately she struck the perfect balance for my kitchen, lifting the design to a whole new level and teaching me how color really does affect everything (including mood). Just love her and highly, highly recommend Ava Suren Interiors for color consultation.

She is a color coordinator. I loved every color that she picked. The work went great. The one color that I picked didn?t come out so good. She worked pretty frantically in the hours. She charged by the hour and didn?t waste any time.

The project took a great deal of time for everyone involved 2nd to the schedule requirements of it. Overall, very smooth.
Description of Work: Jenny took on the difficult task of decorating most of the first floor of our small home on a deadline. Our home has many mid-century modern elements to it - a style I have never really embraced. Jenny educated us and helped us find a combination of new and vintage pieces to pull it all together without the major construction projects we wanted to avoid. We were on a deadline due to a job-related entertaining obligation - she made it all come together. Absolutely could not have done it without her.

I heard about Jenny through Angie's List and was so impressed by prior recommendations, that I decided to give her a try. Jenny is delightful in person and quite knowledgeable about function and design. She asked all the right questions so she could get an idea of what we were looking for and then set about to meet our needs. She stayed in constant communication with us through email and phone and then we set up meetings to discuss her design ideas. We settled on the perfect solution for us. Jenny provides everything in writing and is honest about the cost up front. If something changes along the way, she let us know right away. She is hard-working, professional, thorough, and personable. I would definitely work with her again.
Description of Work: Jenny came to help us with a design and organization project in our basement, which included the open family room space, workout room and office. We were looking something that looked good and was also functional. This included painting and furniture that would work for a family and in each room based on its function. In the family room, we now have a play area for kids, table for games and art projects and an entertainment solution with a comfy couch and chairs and a place for our TV and videos. In the office, much needed storage and chairs. The workout room is now setup and functional. The basement was also painted at the start of the project.

We really liked Jenny. She really threw herself into it. She was not afraid to make suggestions to us even if we seemed resistant. We implemented almost all her suggestions. We love every choice. In general I think jenny is best used for her broad ability set. We quoted some more detailed work and felt that the price quoted was too high. However, for the first phase, we felt every dime spent was good. Her analysis was thorough and suggestions sound.
Description of Work: We hired Jenny to spruce up several rooms in the house. Provided color suggestions, rugs, furniture, and organization tips.

Jenny was on time, gave a free estimate that took her hours to propose, was articulate, put her heart and soul into it, has a great talent, work ethic and passion. Her professional attitude, artistic flare, creative abilities, and more turned a slop into a show piece and wonderfully functional spaces. She allowed me to work with my workers in order to bring down the cost, as I hired teens to move stuff around the house and clean while she directed them. I would highly recommend her!
Description of Work: She organized our very, very, very messy basement and playroom, purchased organizational and decorative items for those rooms and around the house.

What a great experience. I now want Jenny to do my whole house and wardrobe too! In just two days she whipped my pile of junk into a well-organized, easily accessible system. She even re-arranged the area and brought in extra pieces from elsewhere in the house. I feel as if I have a designer basement now and it is definitely a system I can work with. This was a daunting task and I didn't know where to begin. Jenny made it simple and even thought I resisted ''letting go'' of things she helped me work through it and never made me feel bad. Jenny worked efficiently. I think it would have taken twice as long with anyone else. A weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I feel great about the experience, it was money well spent and I'll definitely use Jenny again in the future.
