  • What customers are saying

    Karen Davis provided outstanding design services for the 2 entertaining spaces in our 70s contemporary vacation home. Her vision for our home was spot on with our tastes, and she helped us to conceptualize a room that was challenging for us. Her ideas were tasteful, sophisticated, and original. Never did we feel that she was pushing too hard, rather she followed our lead and helped us to expand our ideas based on our own preferences. The finished product is spectular and has wowed our guests time and again. I recommend her to anyone in the area.

  • What customers are saying

    Working with Davis Raines Design has been the first experience using an interior designer and it has been wonderful. The designs and suggestions have been right to my taste. In addition the pricing has been to budget. Projects have been well paced so that I have lived in the rooms and moved on to others. The design aesthetic is traditional and infusion of modern for a fresh, clean look for my home. And it is comfortable for an active family!

    Davis Raines Design handled the entire refurbishment of my West Village Duplex from pre-construction to the final tableware. Through what can be a very stressful process Davis Raines Design made it both manageable and enjoyable. Karen's knowledge, professionalism, and ability to work with contractors/sub-contractors was extremely impressive . She stuck to budget, listened to my likes and dislikes, and I could not be happier with the finished product.

    Karen Davis designed our entire medical office space. This included working with the architect to plan the entry way, three separate waiting areas, a front desk, five patient examination rooms, a chart room, three bathrooms, a lab, and private offices for three physicians. She created a space that is at once soothing, elegant and highly functional. We get compliments on our space every single day. Karen was 100 percent accessible and delightful to work with. I have and would recommend her to design both personal professional space.
