Alex helped us freshen up our living room and dining room--new window treatments, colors, and a fun chair. He listened well and offered options that both fit well with our current style and nudged us toward some new ideas. He followed up to make sure we were satisfied with the results. He's easy going and has good attention to detail. We'd definitely work with him again.

Alexander is doing an amazing job with our home design. Our suggestions and ideas were very well received by him, and he gave us prompt responses and detailed projects. He took into consideration the needs of our family, the characteristics of our home and the budget we had. It has been a great experience so far, and I cannot wait to see what the rest of the house will look like. We hope to continue to benefit from Alex and Sabrina's expertise in making our home a wonderful place to live.

Alex Von Ahsen nailed it!!! He successfully achieved the goals of completing my interior design home projects through the pandemic and beyond, never ceasing to exceed my expectations. His professional talent, skills, experience and knowledge proved to me that I could trust his judgement and rely on him to manage the tasks at hand. His unique, creative ideas and suggestions were always “right on”. Alex enthusiastically and efficiently coordinated the projects from beginning to end with my utmost satisfaction. Thanks to Alex, it was a fun, learning experience for me to step out of the past and update my home. Alex is excellent at performing his job, and he is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Alex is fabulous to work with! He listens to our vision for our home and is able to select beautiful pieces for us to choose from to help meet our goals. We are in love with a gorgeous sectional he selected for our living room that has now become our family's favorite space. His suggested paint color and new blinds for our dining room were exactly what we needed in that room. We have ordered a coffee table, dining room table, and light fixture and can't wait for them to arrive! I am so grateful for Alex's skills and professionalism and look forward to his assistance as we continue to improve our home one piece at a time!

I have worked with Alex for quite some time-but this latest project was our biggest. He took my wishes-on a completely custom project-made it a reality! Alex truly hit every expectation above and beyond our wishes. I cannot say enough how amazing it is to work with him!

Alex and his college Sabrina did an exceptional job walking us through a "new" look for our new build. After years of living in a very traditional home with traditional furnishings they made us feel comfortable with a contemporary look. They were more than willing to adjust items as we worked through the process, many times remotely. We'd highly recommend Alex, Sabrina and Dwell.

Alex did a fantastic job in my living area. The open area now looks cohesive-the lighting furniture and area rugs look amazing. I will definitely use Alex for future projects!

Alex was absolutely wonderful to work with when furnishing our new house. Alex was able to do what we had been unable to do: create spaces with pieces that look amazing, provide functionality, and feel like us. We never could have created such a perfect space on our own. Alex was professional, friendly, and fun to work with! We felt like he listened to what we needed and got our style. I would highly recommend him for any interior design project you are working on. We absolutely love the design he created for us.

We love working with Alex! Besides being truly gifted, he makes sometimes overwhelming decisions very easy and seamless. He is great at designing a beautiful space that is also comfortable, no detail is overlooked. We love everything Alex has done is our home, he has now made it our dream home!

We hired Alex to help with a waiting room remodel. I had no idea what to expect with this process, as I had never used a design service before. It seemed like Alex really took his time with us in order to understood our vision for the project. He was communicative and responsive to questions and we are so pleased with the end result!
