Gemma did an excellent job redecorating three rooms in our home. We feel like we are living in a new home that is not only more beautiful, but also much more functional. She went above and beyond the call of duty attending to every detail, even having a special matching, removable cover made for the sectional where she knew our family dog would be sleeping. She truly understands how a family lives in a home! In addition to be a talented designer, she manages her business exceptionally well with a support staff to match. I highly recommend Gemma Parker for any interior design project!

We have been incredibly impressed with Gemma and the entire GPD team. We originally hired GPD to do a smaller refresh of our condo and ultimately hired the team again to do our entire single family home as we moved in. Gemma and her team are highly professional and keep budget, timeline and design at the fore. We are delighted with the outcome of our project. Our home is beautiful but also highly functional. Every detail was thought through -- from the type of fabric that would best withstand the beating of a young family to the copious and thoughtfully located storage. The project truly exceeded my expectations in all respects.

We have been lucky to work with Gemma and her team on several projects for our new construction home in Chicago.

She’s also very professional, transparent, and a pleasure to deal with. We wouldn’t work with anyone else.

We had the great pleasure of working with Gemma on our lake house in northern Michigan. We interviewed several designers from around the midwest before selecting Gemma. From our very first meeting, we knew her vision and commitment was a perfect fit for helping us build the home we envisioned. Every aspect of our lake house design was meticulously designed with an extraordinary attention to detail. Gemma had an uncanny ability to understand our taste and desires, and then work closely with our architect and builder to translate them into a breathtaking reality. The seamless blend of luxury and functionality throughout the house was nothing short of exceptional. Her choice of materials and finishes created an atmosphere that is welcoming yet with a refined elegance. She expertly took advantage of the natural beauty of our surroundings, seamlessly merging the interior and exterior spaces, and selected furniture, artwork and fabrics that perfectly tie it all together. Each room was a testament to Gemma's creativity and meticulous attention to detail. She even took the time to understand our children’s personalities so that she could (perfectly) select color palettes, furniture, fabrics and artwork that was unique to each child for their respective bedrooms. Throughout the entire design process, Gemma displayed professionalism, enthusiasm and an unwavering commitment to bring our vision to life. Working with her was an absolute pleasure, and the end result—an awe-inspiring custom luxury lake house—speaks volumes about her skill and dedication.

I highly recommend Gemma Parker Design Firm for anyone looking for a reliable and talented partner in the design industry.

We’re talking to Gemma about decorating our living and dining room next.
