FROM OUR SWEET CLIENTS

“Her gift of truly listening to us”
When our family of 6 had the opportunity to build and design a new home, we were both excited and a bit overwhelmed by the process. As with any project, managing a custom-build is often easier with a great team of resources and people supporting the decision making. We were introduced to Dana Clemons as a potential interior design partner and after just the first meeting we knew she was going to be the perfect person for our builder to work with, for our lifestyle, our design goals and our family dynamic. She was simply amazing. Dana was able to quickly understand how we lived and our style preferences. Her gift of truly listening to us and her ability to incorporate our style and preferences while also making everything functional and purposeful was exceptional. She has a beautiful eye for design- we fell in love with her ability to help choose everything from color palettes, wallpaper, finishes, tile, textiles, furniture, and light fixtures that all come together to create timeless, unique and absolutely stunning spaces. We would not have been able to do this new build without Dana. Her design expertise, creativity, organization, attention to detail, reliability, promptness, kindness, and humor made the entire process so enjoyable. We absolutely love our new home. We are so grateful to Dana for helping us to create a home for our family that we will cherish forever.
On a personal note, I can honestly say that Dana was such a joy to work with and I was so sad when the project was wrapping up. We would highly recommend Dana to anyone with any design needs. She is incredibly talented but perhaps more importantly a genuinely wonderful person. We are grateful for having had the pleasure to work with and get to know Dana Clemons. She is truly incredible!
“well planned and executed”
We purchased a 1938 vintage Federal Revival style home in Decatur, GA. Shortly after that, we started down the path of a large scale renovation, and we were introduced to Dana Clemons (of Clemons Design Co.) by our architect. From the very first meeting, we knew that Dana was the right person for our project. Dana spent those early meetings listening to what we wanted to see in the house and then masterfully put those thoughts and ideas into the context of her own unique style and vision.
The end result was nothing short of amazing. We absolutely love our home. In fact, now when we go on vacation, after about seven days or so we always end up saying how we cannot wait to come back home – and to us – that is the ultimate compliment of Dana’s work. Dana effectively took a physical space that an architect might refer to as a house and turned it into the very comfortable and welcoming place that we call home.The end result was nothing short of amazing.

“resourceful and patient”
Dana was recommended to us for kitchen design during a major renovation project. We were taking down walls and raising ceilings while keeping the existing footprint of an old home. Dana was able to design a kitchen that was exactly what we envisioned for our family when we purchased the house. As our renovation unfolded, she redrew almost every space for us and added many details that were overlooked by our builder. She was conscientious and knowledgeable about our process. She was always punctual and available to meet or to communicate via email. She was resourceful with outside vendors when we had specific items we were looking for. There were many times when I turned to her for advice about decisions in our home. She was patient throughout those processes and with making necessary changes.
This was our first major renovation project and I can confidently say that we absolutely could not have done it without Dana. We have been in our new home almost one year. I recently contacted Dana again to help with furniture layout and design for our new spaces!

“beautiful attention to detail”
We have worked with Dana Clemons for several years in the design and furnishing of an extensive whole house renovation. Dana was instrumental in the design process throughout the project. Her involvement included, among other things, selection of wall colors, counter top materials, cabinet colors, bathroom and kitchen tiles, mill work, and lighting. After construction was complete, she guided us through furniture selection as well as various textiles throughout the house. The end result was incredible, and we are so thankful to have met and worked with Dana. She has a keen eye for color nuance, dimension, and space. She is wonderful at mixing and balancing various materials.
On a personal level, it was a joy to work with Dana. She was always eager to listen to our design preferences, while also introducing us to new possibilities which we had not thought about. She was always respectful of our ideas but always honest and willing to give guidance when needed. We would recommend Dana to anyone with design needs, no matter what style you prefer or how big or small your project is.
