Dennis helped us choose an interior paint scheme for our entire house to update it. Made the process so easy and with his help I didn’t have to stress or worry or be overwhelmed with all the options for paint and making sure the house was cohesive. Really updated our home and it looks great!

A special thank you to Dennis of DF Design Inc. for the perfect plan for our master bathroom. He helped create such a beautiful room and we could never have done it without him. The process was very collaborative and Dennis was a true pleasure to work with!

Dennis came out to our home and spent a substantial amount of time helping us decide on exterior paint colors. He was professional, friendly, and patient. We love the end result and everyone who has seen the transformation comments on our color choice. We are so happy that we had his help and we would recommend him to anyone we know.

We used DF Designs to complete a major first floor kitchen renovation which included removing some support walls. Dennis came to our home and worked with us from the new design all the way through to completion. I appreciated the “one-stop-shop.” Everything was taken care of. The contractor, David, was amazing. Communication throughout the process was excellent. We now have a home that functions much better for us as a growing family, and it’s gorgeous! I would highly recommend working with DF Design.

My wife and I purchased our retirement home in 2017. We wanted to customize it to our style. The problem we encountered was selecting an exterior paint color to compliment the multi-color reddish brick which was on the lower half of the house. Dennis was selected to assist us with the extensive painting project. He was most attentive to our concerns regarding the house color and complimentary trim and accent colors. After surveying the house Dennis suggested a couple paint color combinations. His insightful approach made it easy to make a final decision. We have received numerous compliments from neighbors, family and friends. We are exceptionally pleased with the final results and would highly recommend Dennis for any paint color selection assistance you may need.

Highly recommended! We engaged DF Design Inc. for paint color selections in preparation for our home’s exterior to be repainted. With Dennis’ expertise, all elements were considered such as existing natural surroundings, landscaping, colors in brick and stone along with our desire to elevate our home’s overall appearance. All of his recommendations for paints, colors and sheens were used resulting in our great satisfaction!

I hired DF Design for a virtual consult on flooring and painting colors. They were extremely professional and helpful during my consult and helped me stay on task and not get distracted in 100 different directions. This made the focus very narrowed and we were able to make color decisions together effectively so that I could start the process of my remodel. Will definitely use them again.

Thanks to Dennis and his wonderful staff. His eye for color has brought us back to use his expertise years after the first repainting of our house. After following his ideas, I am thrilled to have a home that flows smoothly from one room to another. Dennis listened and tweaked his suggestions to create an atmosphere that is what we were looking for. I must admit, his first suggestions are typically right on target, just have to have faith and trust in his expertise.

We were very nervous about a project to build a new home. We needed expert advice to help us with the design and DF Design did exactly that. Dennis gave us great ideas and direction. We will absolutely be coming back to him for our future design needs. Thank you.

We engaged Dennis for a color consultation on our 1927 English Tudor. It was finally time to replace the original asbestos roof and siding. We landed on materials pretty quickly but didn’t feel confident about the color choices we had discussed with our contractor. Since it was a big job, we wanted to make sure the colors were exactly right. That’s where Dennis came in. The job is now done with all the colors Dennis suggested. And it is beautiful! Thank you to Dennis for giving us great advise, guidance, and peace of mind.

We used Dennis to start updating our home and we are thrilled with the results! We’ve started with our kitchen and we absolutely love how everything turned out! Everyone who has seen it since has been amazed at the design details. Dennis and his team were great to work with and they finished on time. We were also able to continue using our kitchen appliances through the majority of the project which was very helpful since we have two small kids. We’re really happy we found Dennis and his team and can’t wait to continue using them to update the rest of our home!

Dennis helped us with our first project after we bought our new home. He helped us with color that flowed beautifully throughout our home. He also created beautiful murals in our children’s bedrooms that they loved. 20 years later, those children grew up and our home needed an update. There is only one person we could call. Dennis did again! Not only was our update stunning but the process was painless. Dennis helped me pick out color, window treatments, tile and more. Thank you Dennis and everyone at DF Design for all of your hard work at making our home beautiful! Looking forward to phase II!

DF Design recently completed a kitchen and entryway renovation for our family and the result is absolutely amazing! Dennis and Chris stayed within budget and they exceeded our expectations relative to design elements and quality. The construction crew was always polite, on time, clean and communicative. Any challenges we encountered were handled professionally by Dennis and Chris. We are so thrilled with their work and with our updated home!

Dennis did an amazing job with our home. The whole interior was being repainted and I didn’t know where to start. It all looks gorgeous I am thrilled. Also, working with Dennis was wonderful. I’ve never consulted with a designer and felt intimidated. He spent a lot of time, and was very interested in making our home all it could be. I recommend him to many people!

We wanted to update the interior paint colors of our home and hired Dennis for a color consultation. Dennis listened closely to what I thought I wanted and then gently steered me in a more interesting and stylish direction. He is a color wizard! Our home looks amazing due to his professional input and eye for design. We have used DF Designs in the past and they always do an amazing job. Whether you are looking for a total remodel or a simple change in color, a consultation with Dennis is worth every penny! Thank you, DF Design!

Dennis and DF Design were great to work with from start to finish! We initially called DF Design to help with choosing an exterior siding color for an addition that would match the existing roof and brick, but Dennis was so great and helpful that we also used him to help with all interior paint colors and redesign our interior first floor. Dennis made sure he always provided options within our budget and we could not be happier with the finished product! Thank you Dennis and DF Design.

Great experience from the very start! Our focus was the living room but expanded the project to make some updates throughout the first floor. My family loves the updated look and feel. Design and implementation went very well. Update included new lighting, baseboards, painting, carpeting, window treatments, and new pieces of furniture and artwork. Results were of high quality and workers were professional and courteous. We liked Dennis’ style to design and managing the project.

We are doing a small update on our kitchen and flooring. DF Design, Inc provided a consultation, we received SO MUCH valuable information! Not only in the areas of update but our house overall. From paint to lighting sizing and design recommendations to where the best place is to spend in our home. We will be doing a basement update in the future and will be sure to call back for their valuable assistance. THANK YOU! A must for anyone trying to put the pieces together or buying a new home

Dennis Frankowski is a fabulous interior designer. I called him this year to help us figure out what to do to get our house ready to sell. Dennis has provided interior design services to us for many years, so I knew he would be the best person to help. He helped us plan a master bathroom redo that was both really pretty and functional but also quite affordable. Before the renovation, our bathroom was an eyesore, and we didn’t want it to detract from the overall appeal of our home. Dennis managed the entire project from beginning to end, which definitely reduced my stress. He was often on-site to make sure the project moved ahead smoothly. Dennis not only has a great sense of color, style and function, but he is easy to work with. He listens carefully and patiently explains every step of the process. He treats everyone with respect.

We have worked with DF Design, Inc on several projects over the years. Dennis has a great ability to key into your style and come up with a plan that seems to be exactly what you want. His sense of color is incredible. What is really nice, is that you can work with DF Design, Inc on big project remodels, but you can work with them on smaller projects as well. While helping us to pick paint colors for the family room in our house, Dennis even determine the best way to arrange our new family room furniture that made a much better flow. Dennis is great to work with and incredibly talented.

DF Design has worked on several projects in our 100-year old home over the years. His work has dramatically increased the beauty of our living space. One of my favorite things about Dennis is his respect for our own style. Dennis works to incorporate our lifestyle, art and overall vision without ever suggesting we should change our taste. Because of this approach we have trusted Dennis to make some dramatic enhancements to our home. An additional benefit of working with Dennis is his network of quality builders/tradesman who complete the work when they say they will. DF Design delivers a fun experience and fantastic results!

The more we “live” with our new interior decorating and furniture, the more in love we fall with them. When family and friends visit, their first response is always one of a gasp: “I can’t believe how fantastic your home looks!” We have never before felt such pride in welcoming visitors. Dennis Frankowski is not only a interior design genius, but a gentleman and man of integrity as well. We highly recommend DF Design Inc.
