/ HOMEOWNERS

Rachel and her team have transformed our home and our lives. We never want to leave it! The quality of the work and the elevated design elements are far beyond our expectations. We’ve used Rachel and her team in every room of our home from bedrooms to bathrooms and every space is special. Our friends and family are in awe of the design, the colors, the art, the accessories; no detail was spared. Thank you to Rachel and team for making a huge impact on our lives. It’s not just a home, it’s our sanctuary.

Rachel and her team proved themselves to be good listeners, talented designers, and budget conscious. The result: a home we love. Rachel was upfront about what was and wasn’t possible within our budget. She managed to create a design plan that pleased both my husband and me, which is no easy task considering we have different tastes. The team handled contractors, billing, delivery of furniture, questions, and edits with utmost professionalism. Our home feels like the best version of us, though we would have never been able to get it that way without the talented, detail-oriented people at Rachel Reider Interiors.

We LOVE how Rachel Reider Interiors transformed our new downtown Boston home! It brought us to tears as soon as we walked in for the big reveal. It’s gorgeous, inspiring, hip, and exactly what we wanted. You are very talented - we knew that - but this exceeded our expectations. And we had high expectations!

We have worked with Rachel Reider and her team on a few projects over the years, starting in 2010 when we moved from a city place to a house and again most recently on a newly renovated vacation house. We could not be more thrilled with the design, service, and vision. Rachel is a master at putting together color/pattern/texture, and layering them in artful ways. The result is exactly how we had hoped it would look, but never would have been able to achieve on our own. Rachel understands the aesthetic that we gravitate towards and the functionality and practicality (3 young boys) that we need, and she brings it all to the design. Rachel and Tricia are a joy to work with and are true professionals.

I have been a client of Rachel Reider Interiors for over 10 years. I feel so grateful to have found Rachel and her design team, as she has transformed so many of my real estate properties into beautiful, warm, unique spaces. One of Rachel’s best qualities is that she is an attentive listener. Her ability to translate my wishes into tangible action exceeds my expectations time after time. I look around me each day and I am made so happy by Rachel’s sophisticated aesthetic and vision throughout my homes. Rachel and her hard-working team at RRI have truly changed my life for the better. Her unique gift of combining color, texture, furnishings and art has transformed every space into a little piece of heaven for me. I cannot recommend her enough, she is amazing!

I’ve been a client of Rachel Reider interiors since 2009. Since that time, Rachel has worked to remodel/redecorate much of my home including a kitchen and master bathroom. She most recently helped us on a new construction home in North Carolina. I cannot speak highly enough about Rachel’s professionalism, talent, attention to detail, and willingness to collaborate with the client to design beautiful and functional spaces. She’s very thoughtful in her design process making sure everything on the client’s wish list is being addressed. It’s been such a pleasure working with Rachel Reider Interiors.

We worked with Rachel Reider and her team to design our mudroom, entryway, living room and den, and the entire process was outstanding from start to finish. We were very impressed with Rachel’s organized and thoughtful approach to understand our tastes, needs and vision for the spaces. She asked for feedback on dozens of fabrics and wallcoverings samples, as well as furniture and lighting images, to better understand our preferences. She took that information and translated it into an incredible design presentation that exceeded all our expectations! The spaces that she created are warm, sophisticated, livable and truly “us.” Rachel’s professionalism, outstanding taste and ability to listen to her clients is unparalleled. Thank you, Rachel and team, for making this potentially very overwhelming process so enjoyable. Our newly designed spaces are exceptional and we cannot believe this is our home! We will be lifelong clients, and we look forward to starting the next project with the RRI team!

I have worked with Rachel Reider and her team on two special home renovation projects. Her style reflects my family —bringing energy, color, drama, sophistication, and warmth to each room. Rachel is easy to work with, and can dial up texture, contrast and pattern or tone it back. I have worked with other designers and there is no one comparable to her. Rachel is the high bar! I simply trust her opinion. Living within her beautiful work, is a gift everyday.

We worked with Rachel and her team to make our new Boston South End apartment a home. We are thrilled with the results, which even got published in Modern Luxury. As important as the results was the way that Rachel, Tricia and the rest of the team worked with us. They listen closely to all of our input on style, color, and practical use concerns. She incorporated all of it while of course bringing that Rachel Reider pop of color and life into our home. We love the idea of decorating, but have limited time. We got both the great result and a fun creative experience. I definitely recommend working with her.

Working with Rachel and her team was like having a dream come true. I have followed her work for years and always admired her vast portfolio from afar, on Instagram and through local Boston design magazines. Then 6 months ago we moved from the South End to Wellesley and decided that we needed some professional help getting settled. Our Patrick Ahearn home exuded traditional New England character on the outside, but the interior finishes were a bit rustic for our taste and we had rooms to fill. Rachel and her team listened to our likes/dislikes, we discussed our overall vision for the home, practical concerns with two young children and a puppy, and then they were off and running sourcing fabrics and furniture. Everything came together so quickly and so beautifully that we are still in awe of how designers do what they do. We look forward to completing the basement level and outdoor spaces in the next year or two so that they are up to snuff with the rest of the house. I would recommend Rachel Reider Interiors to anyone moving into a new home, or just looking to love their home again.

We hired Rachel and her team to do the design for our new Boston Condo. We had a few pieces we wanted to reuse from our old home, but mostly needed new for limited space. Rachel’s team really listened to our needs and budget, making recommendations on where to save money. We ended up loving everything we received! It all fits so perfectly and the colors pop and really make the home. And via a little custom construction, we were able to hide our Peloton bike in a nook in the house behind some pocket doors. The team was so well organized, kept us in the loop along the way, made payments easy, and hired a very professional team to do the install. Can’t recommend them enough!

We recently completed a full renovation of our home and chose Rachel Reider because we loved the pictures of her work and how bold and playful she was with color and design. We could not be more thrilled with the result. Rachel is amazing. We brought her on board early in the project, and she worked closely and seamlessly with our architect and our builder. She and her team were extremely responsive and managed the timeline of the interior design process so that it dovetailed smoothly into the architect’s and builder’s timing. She also kept within our budget and made smart choices about how to get the most out of it.

Beyond the process, Rachel’s work speaks for itself. She understood what we wanted, and made our rooms fresh, inviting, durable for our young family, and infused with fun and beauty at every turn. While there are many different colors in the house, they flow and build on each other creating layers and combinations that delight us. We 100% loved working with Rachel and would recommend her to anyone.

We have been working with Rachel and her team since 2011, when she worked with us, our architect and our contractor to design, build and decorate our weekend / summer home. Rachel made what was a daunting process almost simple. She worked closely with our architect and contractor, substantially managing much of the scheduling and communication process. We feel that by incorporating a number of suggestions Rachel made at the design stage, we have really added to the charm and functionality of our home. My husband and I both find Rachel very pleasant and easy to work with: she is professional and organized; she listens to and incorporates our thoughts and concerns; and is respectful of our budget. We have since gone on to work with Rachel and her colleagues to redecorate a number of rooms in our primary home and have been equally pleased with the results.

We worked with Rachel and her talented team when we made the transition from a city apartment to a suburban home. We had never worked with a professional interior designer before, and Rachel put us right at ease with her calm demeanor and detail-oriented approach. She helped us think through how we were likely to live in various spaces around the house, keeping in mind the ages of our young children. With endlessly creative ideas, a firm grasp of our budget, and open lines of communication, Rachel and her very capable crew developed a cohesive design that reflected our personality, priorities, and lifestyles. All four members of our family are thrilled with the results, and we look forward to working with Rachel again in the future. I would highly recommend Rachel Reider Interiors to anyone looking for creative design and a stress-free process.
— E.G., WESTON, MA
We have used Rachel and her team for 2 projects and are currently working on a 3rd with Rachel Reider on our suburban home. Over the course of our projects Rachel has been extremely professional, talented and exceptionally accessible. Tricia and Lauren are also very communicative and helpful. We highly recommend their services and talents on your future projects.

Rachel Reider and her design team are the best! We started working together over 6 years ago, and she has designed and completed many projects that have surpassed my expectations. Stylish, classy, elegant, but always with a unique distinction. Her eye for detail and her artistic ability to transform a space is what sets her apart from others. Rachel and her team are always accessible, polished, and very professional. I have hired Rachel Reider Interiors for 7 boutique hotels so far, and look forward to hiring her team for all of my future projects.

/ PROJECT PARTNERS

After working in a professional manner with Rachel and her team on multiple high end custom building projects, I could not recommend them more highly. There are plenty of designers with pretty portfolios, but the RRI team has the technical and professional capabilities that allow them to truly understand and execute on complex custom details, making them an invaluable part of any project team. Their documentation preempted our questions and they were actually the ones driving us ahead on lead times and schedules when it is usually the other way around. If only we were lucky enough to work with them on all of our projects.
