Clare is one of a kind in that she encompasses the same passion and eagerness about a project that her clients feel. Clare is kind, thoughtful, smart, and incredibly knowledgeable about all things design...She will leave no stone unturned in order to create a room that her client will love.
She is thoughtful, creative, timely, respectful, patient, passionate about her work, reasonably priced, but best of all, she makes her clients feel that they are #1. I cannot say enough good things about Clare. She will take all of the guesswork away and in the end will hand you a room or space that you never thought was possible. I RECOMMEND CLARE 110%!!!

Clare was AMAZING. She whipped up an amazing design quickly and included elements that captured the energy I wanted in my space. She's definitely become my go-to designer for anything else I need. If you're considering hiring Clare, you can't go wrong here :)

I LOVE my rooms. We did our master, guest, and great room. I can't say enough about how easy and enjoyable it has been to work with Clare. She offers incredible value and has a real gift in working with people. I will be using her again to finish other rooms. After 3 years of living in my house and struggling to make it a home, Clare finally made it happen. Thank you!

I love working with Clare. She has been awesome from day one, explaining in detail everything I needed to know to create my dream home. She is extremely good at what she does not only because she is very talented, but also because she listens. Her design ideas are great and practical, and she will do her best to help you avoid making costly mistakes.
Clare is also very patient, reliable, and kind, and always there if you need her. She really loves what she does and cares about her clients’ satisfaction. I am extremely happy with her services and plan to use her for all my future home projects.

​Clare is terrific to work with! While I was hesitant how the remote design process would unfold, I found Clare to be thoughtful, exacting and diligent. She is a master space planner and her design suggestions are creative and functional. We have completed most of the main areas in my home and are currently working on a den and office. I highly recommend.

I can’t say enough about Clare!! I highly recommend her. The changes she made are way beyond my expectations. My house feels more functional, updated, and less crowded.
My project started as one room and we have now done 3 more rooms. Clare is passionate in what she does, very responsive, and has a great eye in design. I never imagined my house could be this beautiful!! Thank you, Clare.

I love the look of my new space! As a bachelor, moving into my first condo, I didn’t know where to begin! Clare suggested painting the mustard and blue walls a light pewter, which totally transformed the space.
I was amazed how she organized the tv/gaming area in a way that is functional, yet attractive. The bedrooms and living room furniture arrangements look great and work well.
CDR was easy to work with and her reasonable fees fit my “young, single guy” budget. My place is now awesome!

Clare was an absolute pleasure to work with and a gifted designer. I would highly recommend her for any project.

Over the years, I tried countless times trying to achieve the vision I had for my home. Clare amazed me with her ability to guide me through change with such positivity and grace. She approached challenges, like decluttering and organization, with kindness, never judgment. She offered support in a way that felt completely tailored to me.
Her expertise, speed, and attention to detail were incredible. But what stood out most was how she shared her passion so openly: it felt like our project, not just hers. Choosing the right table color was a great example. Clare used her design software to let me see all three options in my space. That hands-on experience helped me fall in love with the grey-green finish. It felt like someone had brought several tables for me to try right at home!
Now that things are coming together, it feels like I’m coasting downhill on a bike. I know there’s still work ahead, but thanks to Clare’s expertise, I have complete confidence that everything will fit beautifully. I can already see the finished space in my mind, and it’s even better than I ever imagined.

Clare helped me to change a rarely-used dining room into a comfortable reading/project room. She knows how to arrange furniture, while keeping a very warm, welcoming feel.
Clare is careful to learn her client's wishes and to respect them and she asks enough questions to find out. She is a careful listener and understands the need to give both physical and visual depth to a room! We would work again with Clare over anyone else.

We hired Clare at CDR Design to help us design a home theatre. She did an absolutely exceptional job! She was very patient with us as we worked through all of the decisions. The room looks fantastic. We constantly get comments from our friends and family on how great it looks. I definitely recommend using her services!

I have worked with Clare on two projects: a complete overhaul of our living room, and a smaller project in our kitchen. During both of these, she was thoughtful, patient, and encouraged me to think a little bigger.
I have learned a lot from her. She even gave me some tips on adjoining rooms so they'll flow better with our new space. We have received lots of compliments, and I'm confident that, in the future, we'll be asking for her help in other rooms.
Andrea S
I am more than happy to recommend CDR to anyone. After 3 years of trying and failing to update my kitchen, I reached out to Clare, because of her reputation with patience and gentleness in the design process.
I was so pleased with the result and have had so many people comment on my kitchen updates. In the future, I plan to update my entire house and will be hiring CDR for that.
Marilyn R
Clare did a great job totally transforming our living and dining room. We went from totally traditional and bought all new minimalist furniture.
It was quite the change so I needed a fresh perspective...and lots of help. She was always readily available and responsive. Thank you, Clare!

Clare is a pleasure to work with and her enthusiasm for her work shows.
From our first conversation, I was impressed with how quickly and thoughtfully she responded to my inspiration photos and ideas. She continued to provide prompt service throughout the project.
Clare was truly with me every step of the way, offering support and encouragement - in addition to her design expertise! Besides her awareness of current design trends, I think she most helped me just to break out of my pattern and think "outside the box." She has a vision for furniture placement, color, accessorizing, etc., that I just don't have and that I really appreciated.
She also understands the importance of practical aspects of space as well - for example, arranging my living room for maximum comfort and community (aspects that were important to me). Clare is friendly and unintimidating. Enjoy working with her!

Clare’s first project for us was solving the dilemma of a chameleon green floor tile. She immediateIy suggested several solutions. I was so impressed with her thoughtfulness and ability to consult with us virtually, even though we live in the Netherlands.
She was amazing, staying with us through the whole process. I would recommend her in the future to anyone needing a kind, thoughtful, designer who goes above and beyond
Stephanie M
Clare was so wonderful to work with! I had a specific budget and a very tight timeline and I didn't know where to start. Clare was able to help every step of the way.
She understood my style and was able to keep some furniture I owned, while adding new items to update my space.
Such a pleasure to work with! Pricing was very reasonable and I would recommend her to anyone. Words can't say enough! I look forward to working with her again!
