Testimonials

“Nalini was wonderful to work with. She took what I was envisioning and made it even better. She didn’t ‘sell’ me on her style and kept the whole project in budget. All items recommended/purchased are of high quality and will last a long time. I’ll definitely reach out to Nalini again when we start our next project.”

“We really enjoyed working with Nalini, to the point that we quickly referred her to my parents when they moved here and needed to purchase furniture for their living room and den. She is patient, personable, knowledgeable, and gave us good advice about what could fit in the spaces we were hoping to improve. She helped us pick out items for our dining area as well as our screened in deck, creating a designed but still approachable look that will be great for entertaining.”

“We feel so fortunate to have worked with Nalini and have her interior design expertise and guidance throughout each step of our three bathroom remodels! We absolutely love the finished outcomes of each! Nalini took the time to help us realize and hone our vision and made the whole process enjoyable, we can’t thank her enough!”

“Nalini was awesome and made my home feel like something from a magazine. She minimized my stress of furnishing a new home and made the process enjoyable by working with me over several revisions to make sure we reflected my style in the designs, coordinating all deliveries, and providing her expert advice. I would highly recommend!”

“Nalini was a pleasure to work with! My husband and I asked her to help us pick out drapery for a few rooms in our home. She really took the time to get to know us and our style and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. We definitely recommend her for all of your interior designing needs!”

“Me and my wife recently bought a house which checked all the boxes for us except the all important living room. This room was very important to both of us as we planned to spend most of our time there and wanted that place to have a contemporary, warm and cozy feel to it.
We knew that we needed a professional to guide us through this whole process of renovation and that’s where I feel we were really lucky to have found Nalini.
She provided a great deal of calmness to this whole process. In no time she was able understand what we wanted and how we actually envisioned the room.
Me and my wife have some conflicting taste in furniture and design overall. Nalini exactly knew what we liked individually and somehow she was able to present to us her ideas which we both immediately loved. I call it her superpower 🙂.
We’re totally in love our living room now. I can say with confidence that the final product is absolutely above our expectations. What Nalini brings to the table is not only her wonderful ideas but also an unbeatable level of service. She is extremely hardworking and and will work relentlessly to find the perfect design for you. We can’t thank her enough for everything she did for our lovely living room.”

“Nalini helped me to find window treatments for my new apartment. She was very easy to work with and provided me with numerous options. She was helpful in proposing ideas I had not considered. She was candid in providing her opinions of what would work well in my home. Additionally, she always kept me informed of progress on the job. Installation of my drapes was handled seamlessly. I enjoyed working with Nalini and would recommend her without reservation.”

“Worked with Decorating Den (Nalini) to fully furnish and get all the basics (sheets, blankets, mattresses, etc.) for a cottage house in the country. It worked well. We set a budget range, she picked out options, we reviewed those and made final choices, she managed all the manufacturers and the delivery and setup of the furniture/blinds/etc. Even with Covid disrupting things, she got it done! I am very happy with the service and the quality of the furniture relative to the cost. I would use them again, and probably will.”

“I have had a great time working with Nalini over the last couple of years. We have seen multiple of her projects from selection to the finish line. She is truly impressive and super cool. Her design skills will impress everyone. One of our most professional designers.”

“We bought a home several months ago and Nalini has been a tremendous partner, transforming it from a house to our home. She brought ideas that stayed within our style preference and budget, and has been fantastic to work with. I get many complements on everything she has helped with from our new painting, rug, curtains, and even how well all the colors coordinate. I would recommend Nalini for all of your design needs!”

“Nalini has been amazing to work with on several projects in our home and renovations. She consistently provides awesome feedback and suggestions. In addition, her network and relationships have also been absolutely critical in getting our projects completed.”

“Simply the best! She was so easy to work with and had wonderful suggestions! Will definitely use again and recommend friends and family to her!”

“Working with Nalini has been a real pleasure, she is fantastic as a person and a professional. Nalini takes her time to listen to you so she can know exactly what you like so she can bring different ideas to your home, she cares about everything from the costs to the quality of each product. She doesn’t mind to visit you many times until you are 100% satisfied before making your selection also she accommodates her time to your time. You will get amazed to see how beautiful your house will look working with Nalini, my house looks like those seen on the magazines and I am so happy to arrive every night from work and enjoy every detail done by her.

“Nalini is the ultimate professional who is also warm and caring about you, your home, and your ideas and priorities. She’s also good at helping when you’re stressed out over colors, texture, function–you name it! This is the third time I’ve worked with Nalini, and I plan to continue working with her as I redo the house from top to bottom.”

“Nail I’ swarm and bubbly personality show thru in all of her designs. She’s done the most amazing job transforming our tired, boring house into warm, whimsical rooms that completely reflect our style, all within budget and always with a smile. We just love her; she’s the best decorator we’ve ever worked with in the Ashburn area.”

“I hired Nalini to help find a bed for my daughter’s room. She not only sent me at least 12 options that met my needs, she was patient and answered many questions I had about taking care of the bed, dust/allergens, dimensions, color, and whether or not the bed would go well with multiple decorative changes as my daughter grows. We decided on one and after we ordered the bed, Nalini was here for the installation and made sure everything was perfectly setup. She even stayed to see how my daughter reacted to her new room. This is the first of many projects I have for Nalini. Next up, my living room and master bedroom are on my list for her!”

“Nalini did a fabulous job decorating a number of rooms in my house. She paid careful attention to my style, and was very patient throughout the entire process. I absolutely love each and every room she decorated for me and I am always receiving compliments when guests come over. My home feels complete thanks to her!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Nalini was very responsive, knowledgeable and professional during the entire remodel process of my home. She is a great resource when you are doing a ‘top to bottom’ refresh of your house. All the products she has to offer are high quality with good prices. She listens to your vision and is able to provide you with the right resources and helps you plan along the way. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to do a small or large project.”

“I highly recommend Nalini! She is down to earth and understands the demands of a working family. She is easy to work with and she truly tries to help you achieve the look you are going for. She spent so much time to help make customs drapes that helped me achieve a warm, inviting and cozy family room space. I highly recommend her, you won’t regret it.”

“I was hesitant about engaging an interior designer as a friend of mine recently used one who kept imposing his style throughout the process. That is why I especially appreciated working with Nalini! She takes a completely consultative approach—she enabled “my voice” to be heard as far as my color preferences and style while peppering in great suggestions to help bring the “wow” to my home remodeling project. Throughout the process Nalini didn’t just answer my questions about furniture placement, accents and lighting, but she took a holistic approach that ensured my decisions were based on my overall goals (improving traffic flow in my home, brightening certain corners and creating a modern but comfortable living space). She was also respectful of my budget. I highly recommend Nalini for her responsiveness, keen sense of design and her collaborative nature!”

“Highly recommend Nalini.  I needed to order furniture for my daughter’s room. I told Nalini my budget and my specifications as i wanted something timeless, maintenance-free, sturdy, and comfortable.  She came back with thoughtful suggestions, ideas, and options to choose from.  I found exactly what I was looking for.  Nalini arranged everything from order to delivery, and she even came to check on the items when it was being delivered to make sure everything was accounted for and to my satisfaction.  Thanks Nalini, you were easy to work with,  I will reco to all my friends!”

“LOVE NALINI!!! She is amazing, has impeccable taste, and is absolutely wonderful to work with! She is able to take my husbands and my vision, which can be completely different, and help transform a room better than what we could have imagined!”

“Nalini is so amazing! She had helped me personally and professionally with her talent and kindness. She is a great person and an amazing talent. I started my medical practice 2 years ago and asked her to help me create an amazing space for the practice and especially the reception lounge and about 40% of my patients comment about how pleasant the space is every day. She had also helped our family with our home and has make it feel like our personal style, and keeping it all both comfortable and very visually pleasing. I highly recommend her without reservation.”

“Nalini was a wonderful design find! She helped our family transform our Arlington home, into a space where we are fully able to relax. The choices she presented to us were timeless, unique and fit our personal style. We did not have any previous experience using a designer and were so grateful we decided to hire her. She is passionate about her craft and takes time to know her clients personally. We will continue to use her services as future home projects arise. Overall an extremely positive experience.”

“I had the honor of working with Nalini who came highly recommended to me though another professional in the home design business. I had a particular goal in mind, which she helped bring to life through several meetings. Working with her was so fun and stress free. She coordinated every detail and was on site for every installation and delivery, ensuring my satisfaction each time. Handling of new merchandise was top notch and any issues were handled immediately and resolved to my satisfaction. She is a very patient, a good listener, calm and got me out of my comfort zone – and the beautiful thing is I feel like I gained a friend in the process. I am extremely pleased with the results! I would definitely recommend!”
