Helen Grubel Interior Design

Helen is professional and considerate and fun to work with. She has an excellent eye for design and worked with my budget and taste to produce a great finished product and a very happy client.

The combination of Helen's expert sense of style and extraordinary taste, and the confidence to not just execute our preconceived design ideas but rather to push us to consider options outside of our box, has made her a resource we have, and will continue to, come back to time and time again. Her work has been outstanding in all respects, as the results reflect. I am a real estate broker, and primarily sell apartments in the very large complex where I live. It is important that my apartment is as comfortable and inviting as possible, as I often bring clients to see it, so they can envision what they can do with the less attractive unit they might be considering. From the kitchen - now about 15 years old but looking like it was done yesterday - to the soft soffit lighting and exquisite baths Helen designed, people are taken with how much can be done and how wonderful their future home can look. On numerous occasions my clients have become Helen's clients, and have thanked me for the recommendation. When we outgrew our house and became frustrated trying to find something that would better meet our needs, we decided to tear down all but the foundation and enlarge and rebuild it. We got Helen involved from the very earliest planning stages, and, working with our architect and contractors, she was instrumental in creating an award winning home. She was easy to work with, but exacting, and would not let us accept work that was only 95% perfect. Helen sourced the materials we used, from concrete counters to ceramic and stone bathroom tiles to plumbing and lighting fixtures and flooring, designed our kitchen and baths, and worked with and guided us in selecting the furnishings and accessories. Her imprint was on almost every aspect of the house, which no doubt resulted in its selection as the Overall Favorite in an Architectural Digest competition, and selected by its readers. Helen Grubel has been a pleasure to work with, and we consider ourselves fortunate to have been able to do so.

Helen was and continues to be a pleasure to work with and she ALWAYS strives for perfection. AS we were dealing with numerous vendors and tradesman, it was not unusual for something to catch Helen's eye that was troublesome, even if my husband and I were pleased with the initial result. Helen holds everyone accountable to the highest standards, herself included. She has incredible taste but makes certain to give the client multiple options that reflect their asthetic preferences. I have the utmost respect for Helen, her integrity, and her commitment to the design process and her clientele.
