Ana Donohue Interiors

Ana Donahue and her team helped us to decorate both a city condo and a home in Stowe Vt. We intitally interviewed three designers but picked them because we liked their ideas and are they seemed easy to work with. We loved what they did with both homes. In some ways, they pushed us out of our comfort zones and we are thankful they did. We are very pleased with the results and could not have gotten there without them. We would use them again without hesitation.

Ana is amazing! She helped decorate and furnish three rooms in our new home plus the foyer and new light fixtures in other rooms. I do not enjoy decorating or furniture selection and felt overwhelmed thinking about furnishing/decorating a new home. I was also concerned that we might not have a big enough budget to work with such an accomplished designer. Ana was able to completely transform our home within our budget. Ana’s personality was a perfect fit for us. She is down to earth (calming for those who find this stuff stressful!) and takes control of all aspects of the process. She coordinates all ordering and vendors. Her staff is amazing. It was a very low stress and fun process. In terms of the style, Ana completely nailed it! We couldn’t be happier with our new home. It is beautiful, unique and totally "us". We still can’t believe that this beautifully decorated house is ours! I would not hesitate to hire Ana again to help with our next design project.

I worked with Ana on two different occasions. First she helped me finish my dining room… I had my furniture and needed to accessorize the room. She did an amazing job with brilliant ideas, keeping my taste in style in mind all throughout the project. Secondly, she designed my master bath and a powder room. Again, I love the fact that Ana is not afraid to use color; I like bold colors and prints and she helped me select amazing colors and curtains for my powder room and helped to create an absolute sanctuary in the master bath. From an administrative perspective- she is on time and stayed on budget and I appreciated her timely responses. She is GREAT to work with and I can’t wait to re-do another room with her!

Ana was tasked with redecorating my living and dining room area to include some new furniture, window treatments, lighting and painting. Some existing pieces of furniture were recovered. I wanted an updated, fresh and contemporary look. Ana listens, quickly understood my taste and worked with me to guide and stretch my esthetic. She is patient, always very professional and has impeccable taste with lots of ideas. The quality of work of her vendors was excellent. She quickly resolved any problems that arose. Most importantly, I absolutely love the final product.

We hired Ana to remodel our master bath and living room. Always professional and respectful of our needs and wants while at the same time working within our budget. Awesome to work with!

Ana was collaborative, responsive and very quickly learned my personality and aesthetic. As a result, I found her incredibly trustworthy with her recommendations and overall plans. She was a great partner who effectively managed all of the third party vendors (deliveries, paint, wall paper, installation) so I didn't need to worry about anything. I would definitely recommend working with Ana!

Ana is truly an extraordinary talent! She turned my small beach cottage into a stunning home. Ana is innovative, creative, intelligent, resourceful, knowledgeable, thoughtful, budget-conscious and joyful to work with -- she exceeded my high expectations. Ana asks the right questions, listens well, has a keen attention to detail and an amazing style, is creative and colorful in her recommendations, and she gets you to expand your horizons. Her execution is flawless and she has a strong team to support her. She took a tiny space and made it feel so light, airy and peaceful. She met each deadline. Ana is the consummate professional and I highly recommend her to my close friends and family. I am honored to be one of Ana's clients.

Ana has a great sense of style while remaining practical. As a busy professional, Ana took charge of the details and makes it seem effortless. Ana loves color and so do I, so we had a lot of fun!

Ana did a wonderful job decorating my Beacon Hill apartment. It was a challenging space, with small windows, low ceilings and tilting floors. I'm so pleased with how it turned out. It is now an elegant and relaxing space. She selected colors that minimized the low ceilings and decorated it in a way that gave the apartment a comfortable but still updated feel. Ana was also great at re-using pieces that I already owned, and at finding inexpensive artwork and knick knacks that really tied the whole place together. (This was a real plus since it helped keep the cost down!) Finally, she was terrific to work with. I sometimes find decorators to be snobby and intimidating, but in addition to being very creative, Ana has a wonderful, low-key and warm personality. I highly recommend her.

I have been working with Ana Donohue for almost a year now. She is a tremendous talent, great listener and has such an amazing creative eye. I searched, on Houzz, for a designer who is comfortable with color and Ana has not steered me wrong. I am very pleased with Ana and her team, they are quick to respond and follow through is prompt with a true desire to make me happy. I can not sing her praises enough and I will recommend her to friends as well as use her again.

We asked Ana to design/decorate our family room and entry way. She just finished the project and the results are amazing! We are thrilled with how everything came out and are so glad that worked with her. Because of the quality of her work, we asked her to work with us to decorate our children's rooms and will surely continue to work with Ana in the future. However, it's not only the resulting work that is high quality so is the entire process from initial consultation to installation. Ana is very responsive to all questions and the costs are transparent -- there are no hidden surprises. Ana is a great listener and remembers all the tiniest details we mentioned about what we are -- they are reflected in the final design. We enthusiastically recommend Ana for anyone looking for an interior designer.

Amazing PERSONAL design services creating compelling interiors in a tasteful cost sensitive yet high impact manner. Great response. Always listening. Fantastic Project Management. Superior product knowledge, and superb communication of ideas, concepts, dimensions, color and coordination...... These are the words that best describe our own experience on two projects with Ana.

I have been working with Ana for a few months and have found her to be a joy to work with. She is always thinking of new ideas for her clients and quickly understands their style as well as their functional needs. She is incredibly responsive via email and generous with her time. She has a great eye and is able to utilize existing pieces and also mix and match higher end pieces with more budget friendly pieces to create impact and a cohesive, pulled together look. This was my first experience working with a designer and I couldn't have asked for a better one.

Ana was absolutely amazing! Ana did a very good job of mixing materials to bring the look and feel that I wanted all together. She listened, took the time to really understand what we were trying to accomplish and was completely respectful of our budget. She is phenomenal! She made a house into a home, into a place we love to wake up in every day and come home to every night.

Upon a friend’s recommendation, I hired the services of Ana Donohue to redecorate my 2 bedroom, 1,300sqft. apartment in the Boston Back Bay. I wanted a contemporary and fresh look to a traditional space. The project was to re-finish the wooden flooring, renovate part of the kitchen and bathroom area and purchase new furnishings for the entire apartment. Ana was in charge of every aspect of the project and within a short period of time realized my vision. I really enjoyed working with Ana and very much appreciated her ability to understand and develop my ideas. She maintained a calm and professional approach to handling and executing all aspects of our renovation and decoration project.

Ana made furnishing our new apartment in Boston - fun! We didn’t have a clue where to begin, as we were from overseas. Ana made the process seamless. We needed to do minor renovations and Ana was able draw the design, recommend a contractor, coordinate with the building supervisor and oversee the work in our absence. Whizzing around the Design Center selecting furniture and fabrics was the fun part for me, but then Ana took care of the details, measurements, delivery along with having her workroom make the drapes, duvets and pillows. It was very exciting to walk into a beautifully furnished apartment a few months later and begin to enjoy it immediately. Ana truly took away all the stress and made it a great experience. I am looking forward to working with Ana again very soon on another project.

Photographing Ana Donohue's completed interiors is a wonderful experience. Having worked with Ana for over four years now, I am always excited to see what Ana's projects look like. They always photograph well as Ana's attention to detail, quality and above all good design aesthetic, make photographing her work that extra special. The day of a photo shoot can be exciting and also a lot of work to pull together those final touches to make a space photo ready. Ana has always impressed me by including her clients in those final steps. Ana's clients, end up enjoying the day of photography as much as anyone as ultimately the photographs we produce are about them and their homes and it's Ana's strong relationship with her clients that really make the finished photos that much better. In addition to being a talented designer Ana Donohue, is first and foremost an advocate for her clients needs and wishes which in the end produces a level of design that is both functional and beautiful. Warm Regards, Michael J. Lee

My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Ana Donohue Interiors for the last 5 years. We initially hired Ana and her team to help us design our Great Room. We were so pleased with the outcome that we then hired her for several other projects in that home including dining room, office and built-in's in a bedroom that had an odd layout. In all instances, Ana's work far exceeded our expectations. When we moved to an older home 2 years ago, we hired Ana to come help us redesign the entire main level of the home including the kitchen and master suite. That project is now on hold to allow us to renovate our basement (so we can move downstairs during the remodel). Since starting the basement project, Ana and her team came up with a creative way to organize the basement into distinct zones: media room with wet bar, full bath, adult lounge area and games room, gym, and child play area. She listened to everything we wanted and made sure the design fit with our style. We started the project last week and are looking forward to seeing the finished product, but have complete faith it will be as beautiful and functional as all the other projects. Ana always listened to our ideas and incorporated them into the design. She always presented us with several different options to chose from. And she always kept our budget in mind and offered us alternatives to items that we felt were too expensive.

Ana has designed almost every room in our house over the last five years. She made our house a home and she is easy and enjoyable to work with. Ana was able to really understand the feeling we wanted our home to have. I will continue to work with Ana on future projects and have highly recommended her to friends and neighbors. Ana is the consummate design professional.
