Alina Druga Interiors

Alina is an absolute gem! We were lucky enough to hire her at the beginning of our whole home renovation project, and thank goodness we did. Alina is an incredibly talented designer, and our project wouldn’t have been the same without her tasteful and ingenious ideas. She was there with us every step of the way, acting as a liaison, mediator, and advocate with our team, and making a truly overwhelming process manageable. She was readily available for consults and questions as they came up, and took every one of our questions seriously, frequently doing a spontaneous drawing to better communicate with us or our subcontractors. Her attention to detail was meticulous; at every stage in the project, from design to materials selection to construction, she brought details to our notice that we wouldn’t otherwise have known to consider, but that proved to be critically important in the outcome of our reno. We found Alina to be very client focused; she got to know our somewhat idiosyncratic likes and dislikes and offered creative solutions for integrating many of our unconventional ideas, but she also pushed back when she thought something was not a good idea from either a functional or a design perspective. She did so in a respectful way, explaining her reasoning and allowing us to make the final decisions. We really appreciated the leeway to include elements that are a little quirky with the safety net of knowing she would give it to us straight if we went too far. And the result is our dream home, comfortable, functional, beautiful, and absolutely a reflection of us. Every time we pull up to the house or enter a new room, we get a frisson of delight. And we have Alina’s diligence, thoughtfulness, and creativity to thank. We recommend her without reservation. (Photo credit: Eric Rorer @ericrorerphoto)

Alina is a gifted designer, and we were lucky to have found her. We absolutely love our how our home turned out. Alina made our home not just lovely and cohesive, but also more functional. Alina made the process stress-free by ensuring on time delivery of materials, regular check-ins with the contractor, and the occasional couple’s counseling when my husband and I could not agree on something. On a personal level she is approachable, always available for questions, and a dream to work with.

Embarking on a home renovation is undoubtedly an intimidating feat, but I was put at ease with Alina’s guidance. From the initial consultation and through the entire process (including material selection, site demolition, construction and the final finishing touches), Alina consistently supported us. She was the considerate friend when unexpected situations arose, a willful advocate when miscommunication occurred and always provided a trusted opinion when I was indecisive. Her support, design wisdom and tasteful choices were priceless in creating our newly rebuilt haven. Coming home is truly a delight because every detail was so well thought out in both aesthetics and efficiency. Our family has endless appreciation for Alina designing a sacred retreat to enjoy for generations to come. Without hesitation, I would absolutely recommend Alina to anybody in search of a stellar interior Designer.

Alina is worth her weight in gold! We felt very overwhelmed starting our master bath remodel but she helped keep us focused and pointed in the direction we wanted to go. The drawings really made a world of difference and her contacts and vendors are top notch. I was most impressed with how she handled/coordinated everything so we didn’t have to worry about calls, orders visits etc. Even at the end when we hit a bump in the road (no fault of hers) and she was technically done she helped get everything sorted out to have a win-win for all parties involved. Can’t wait to work with her again

Alina helped us with an entire home remodel. We did a kitchen, several bathrooms, moved some walls to change layout, and she helped with the lighting, flooring, all of the tile, fixtures, cabinetry, stair hardware, appliances, and more. When looking for a designer we looked for somebody whose design work and taste we admired and thought we needed help with such a large project. She has many different vendors and met with us as many times as needed to assist with choosing the materials and details we would be happy with. She would then continue to follow up with them and us throughout and would assist with any necessary changes which is not always easy in these days of supply chain issues. We hired her as we liked her previous work but along the way we learned about all of the other things that are equally as important. Her attention to detail, organization, ability to time and foresee things that need to be ordered quickly to not hold up the project, and her frequent communication with us, vendors, and the contractor is what carried this large project through. Our contractor with many years of experience told us several times that he had never worked with a designer with as much construction knowledge and as organized as Alina. Her communication and ability to work closely with the contractor is exceptional. She was a big resource for everyone involved through the whole project. We could not be happier that we found Alina and will always be grateful for her help.

I worked with Alina on a full service redesign of my family room, living room and office. Alina was a pleasure to work with. She is an amazing designer, communicator and did a great job following up with the vendors. Due to the pandemic, the furniture delivery was delayed but I really appreciated her keeping me focused on achieving the end result and not rushing or picking other available off the shelf furniture. Alina set the expectations from the start. She gave me an estimate on the project and it was spot on. Alina was flexible with the communication method depending on the discussion or urgency. Sometimes we'd use zoom when she needed to go over the detailed design and other times we would text, email or facetime as needed. What stood out to me is Alina's professionalism, calm demeanor, attention to detail and her design skills. She's also very open and as the client I received quotes directly from the contractors so there are no hidden costs. She referred me to contractors and I was also able to work with others that I had worked with in the past. I'm so glad I got to work with Alina as it was the most stress free experience. I have received so many compliments from those who have visited. It took 7 months to complete the project and I couldn't have been happier. I look forward to working with her on redesigning the upper level at some point.

We worked with Alina on our kitchen remodel that was just completed and could not be happier! She provided us with floor plan options and recommendations so we could see the potential and was mindful of our budget. She stayed on top of vendors/contractors, etc to check in on status to keep things moving along as well as come up with solutions together on any issues that came up. Major renovations are so difficult, especially when you still need to live there and have two young children and dogs. Alina really made this process painless for us every step of the way. Alina is a talented designer with incredible taste and was such a pleasure to work with. Her attention to detail, product knowledge and vision resulted in a kitchen that is not only so much more functional, but gorgeous. We are beyond thrilled with how stunning our new kitchen turned out. I highly recommend Alina and we are so grateful she gave us the kitchen of our dreams!

Alina was amazing to work with! She paid attention to all the details and was on top of my house project from beginning to end! With my busy work schedule I needed someone to help make sure the renovation was moving along. She made sure she followed up on every open item and detail. She is also not shy of pointing out if something is not right. Her work is nothing short of perfect! She has an eye for detail and made sure that all my ideas and preferences were taken into consideration in the design. I am so pleased with the final outcome of my house project and will highly recommend her to anyone!

In a three phase home remodel, Alina Druga transformed our home into a place of comfort and beauty. Phase one involved cosmetic upgrades to a basement room and bathroom. Alina created "triple function" in the room so that it serves as an office, a library and a guest room with an air of comfort and familiarity. Phase two was a galley kitchen remodel. Alina transformed our kitchen into a work zone that is functional and lovely. She created floor, lighting, countertop, appliance and cabinet plans that maximize work space and storage. Our new kitchen retains its streamlined size and shape, but now looks great and functions in ways it never could before. Phase three was a family room addition. Alina seamlessly coordinated her design efforts with our architect, contractor, plumber and electrician. She designed a bar that is stylish, functional and elegant and a custom fireplace surround that involves 52 million year old fossilized fish. She facilitated our selection of flooring, finishes and furniture such that our new family room looks dramatic, but doesn't scream "add on". Our new room is light and airy during the day and warm and cozy in the evening. Alina Druga is smart, creative, flexible, professional and amazingly talented. Her design skills added tremendous value to our multi-phase project. Instead of five stars, Alina Druga should have all the stars of the Milky Way lined up next to her name!

Alina worked with us for quite some time on our home for quite some time. We remodeled the entire house and we are in LOVE with the end result! Her communication is excellent, listens to what your style is, narrows down choices so it's not overwhelming and confirms that you like the style through the use of her creating 3D renderings. She communicates with your Contractor and can recommend Contractors, if needed. Whenever I called, texted or emailed, she was super responsive and thorough. She keeps records of every sales transaction, paint color, tile choice, furniture selections, etc. and if for some reason you can't find it, reach out to her and she will give you the information. I've told all of my family and friends that I've never been more pleased with such outstanding customer service! I'm actually a bit bummed that the final touches are being done to our home because I won't see her as much or communicate as regularly! I guarantee you will not be disappointed, she's AMAZING!!!!

Everything we hoped for in a designer was what Alina was to us. We knew we wanted to do a remodel, but had little idea as to where to start or what we wanted to do. Alina was able to guide us through each room of the house, help us to tease out our ideas on style, came up with two designs for each bathroom to decide between based on her own knowledge and our wants. And she would pick out multiple choices of items such as tile, lighting, paint colors, to help us to make our choices. One of my favorite parts of the remodeling process was the trip to the tile store with Alina and going over all the possibilities. The process of the remodel was not nearly as overwhelming as we had anticipated. We had a lot of questions and she patiently went through each with us, either by phone, text, or email. She recommended the contractor we used, and we could not have been more pleased with him. Alina knows where to shop, how to get best prices/values, what questions to ask, and all those details I never would have thought of (like who knew there were so many colors of grout?). Alina worked behind the scenes, in contact with the contractor, with taking care of our orders for bath fixtures, even with online purchases. When the wrong tile was delivered, it was Alina who was on the phone getting this corrected. And kept us updated on everything we needed to know. She made this remodel so much easier for us. And we really appreciate her. We will be doing our kitchen in the near future, and will gladly and confidently hire Alina again (and the contractor)!

I wholeheartedly recommend Alina as a design professional. I hired her to help redesign my master bedroom and staircase, and Alina handled all aspects of the project with care and attention. She made her design recommendations based on the input I had given her, not on her own personal tastes, and always offered honest opinions when needed. She did an excellent job of time management and communication throughout the project. I felt that her pricing was reasonable for the services she provided. Unlike some designers, she had no vested interest in selling any of the products, so I knew that what she was recommending was based entirely on what she felt would work within our budget and our design goals. I was very pleased with the outcome of the project.
