Ellen Taylor Interiors

Ellen and Sarah were great to work with on our new home. They helped us through the entire process - meeting with architects all the way to placing rugs and furniture in the finished space! They have very good taste and great ideas, but are still committed to helping us make it our home that reflects things that we like. It was a great experience and we would highly recommend them to anyone who is building or just needs an update!

Ellen Taylor is one of the finest interior designer and decorator that I have ever used. She created a showcase of comfortable, rich spaces while thoroughly addressing our needs and desires. She brought our requests to life. I would highly recommend Ellen and her team of highly professionals...

Ellen's involvement with us has been on two different homes that we built from ground up. Ellen's knowledge for building specs and design is outstanding. She helped us place lighting, electrical, kitchen and bath designs along with extra architect designs thru out each home. When both homes where built she and her staff did the interior design. Ellen always listen to what I wanted but, a few times had to say "Just Trust Me" . Ellen and her staff have been a joy to work with and their designs are impeccable!!!

Ellen and her staff have used my showroom here at Hughes Supply to assist their clients in plumbing selections for years. They are always professional and helpful. i would recommend Ellen and her staff for any project.

I provide electrical service on Ellen Taylor’s jobs. I have been working with her on jobs for about 4 years now. She is the best designer around. Her jobs go very smoothly and she is very professional. She picks the very best in lighting products. The quality of work and design is top of the line.

Ellen Taylor is an impeccable designer. Her vision and style have truly made my downtown office unique and fitting for its purposes. I would recommend her and her team for any commercial or residential interior design or redesign.

Ellen always has the most unique original artwork, and then helps you place it in your home or office to make the most impact. She has done wonders for my office decor and reinforces the positioning we have worked at in my practice

Ellen is a joy to work with and has brilliant ideas. I had my dining room, living room and bedroom all redone and I can promise you everything was perfect. I could never have selected the pieces she chose and put them all together - yet they all worked together beautifully. Trust me - Trust Her!

Recommendations for Renovations with Ellen Taylor Interiors (ETI) If you are embarking on a kitchen renovation with ETI, here are our recommendations, based on our experience this past spring: 1 - Make sure you give yourself leeway in your contract with ETI to get competing bids, when Ellen Taylor brings you estimates / bids for material and work. Ellen told us up front that she would provide "contractor prices" for the various subs and materials. In practice, many of her estimates were sky-high, which complicated schedules and caused "issues" and scheduling delays when we sought and then, accepted, more reasonable alternative bids. 2 - Do not let ETI schedule the replacement of (hardwood) floors in your kitchen (and bathroom), prior to the electrical, plumbing, painting and tile renovation work. We believe strongly that the floor should have been finished last. We paid $5,200 (including Ellen's fee) for brand new hardwood floors ... which we will never enjoy as new floors. We were very stressed after the floors were finished, during all the remaining work. We expressed our serious concern before the floors were installed; Ellen and her assistant assured us that they "did this all the time". We feel this was very bad practice, and unnecessarily cost us much anxiety and worry, in addition to wear and tear to our brand new floors. Also, ensure that the floor installers cover your cabinets with plastic before the work; ours were not, resulting in unnecessary mess. 3 - Know the ETI person you will be working with. When we contracted with ETI, we thought the 20% management fee would be for Ellen Taylor's involvement. We were then assigned an assistant. Meet the assistant ahead of time, and make sure you are happy with paying for that assistant's time at 20% of your renovation budget (or whatever management fee you are charged by ETI.) 4 - Consider contracting with Ellen Taylor for design advice on an hourly basis, and not for renovations. We were much happier with her design input than with any part of the renovation. (Wear your "bulletproof" ego jacket; we found that Ellen was not especially diplomatic about design choices you make/ have made that she disagrees with.)

Ellen and her staff are a collection of the most organized, detail driven designers and artists around. Ellen is remarkably adept at understanding a client's need and translating it to impeccable style. Stone Interiors is always proud to work with Ellen Taylor Interiors. Their work is consistently stellar.

Ellen and her entire staff are detail junkies! They pay attention to every detail from beginning to end and always ensure they deliver as promised!!
