what our clients are saying

brings heart and expertise

Joy worked with us to help us design a bathroom renovation on our budget, that we could execute, while being beautiful and perfectly reflecting our style. Joy brings heart AND expertise to every project, and is a true JOY to work with. I highly recommend her!

Julie A.

extremely versatile designer

We purchased a home for our growing family and it needed some significant work to fit our style and family needs.

Joy helped us craft a vision for our home that was beyond our wildest dreams! Her creativity and passion inspired us to dream big. She walked us through every detail of our major renovation, from the floor plans, through the construction, into choosing paint colors, furniture, and window coverings. She was truly there for us every step of the way, guiding us in both the logistical and creative elements of our project. She brought our family our dream home! Every counter, light fixture, and floorboard makes us smile. We just love it.

Joy is an extremely versatile designer. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, she is uniquely gifted at seeing her projects through the lense of her client's style, helping them bring their vision to life. She is also just a generally delightful person to work with on a project. Her resilience, resourcefulness, and ability to work calmly under pressure is a huge bonus, particularly for anyone working through the stress of a move or renovation. We highly recommend her services.

highly recommend

Our family room was long overdue for an update. We needed more seating to accommodate our large family and I was ready to brighten up the room and make it feel larger. The space fits our family perfectly and reflects the look I was going for. I absolutely love it!

I highly recommend Joy Edwards Design for several reasons. Joy suggested elements that I would have never considered that I love. She never tried to talk me into anything or out of anything. She was also very patient and encouraging when I had difficulties making a decision.

adept at navigating changes

Joy took the time to understand our needs and recommend designs that melded both tradition and modernity for a space pleasing to staff and guests alike.

She's highly communicative and adept at navigating changes that come along the way.

talented and thoughtful

Joy is a talented and thoughtful designer. Her work exceeded our expectations. While my wife and I had an idea about the elements/features we wanted in both basement and master bath spaces, we felt less certain about the optimal layout. We decided to go with her over other designers because she seemed genuinely interested in understanding our goals, was collected in her process for working together, and had a transparent pricing model. It comes through that Joy genuinely enjoys design, and she's very good at it. We plan to seek her help for additional projects on the horizon, and offer our highest recommendation for her work.

best experience

We had the best experience working with Joy Edwards Design. She designed our living room/kitchen area in to a space that is not only functional but absolutely beautiful. She exceeded all of our expectations. The whole process working with her was so easy! She quickly understands what you need/want and brings it all together so seamlessly. She was professional and very thorough during the whole process. She is a great support and very easy to work with. She is quick to respond and was always willing to answer a question or go over our design choices with us to make sure that we felt confident in the decisions that were made. I cannot recommend her more highly! You will only have a positive experience with Joy Edwards Design!

incredible designer to work with

Joy Edwards was an absolutely incredible designer to work with. She took our ideas and with patience and great care, perfected them into a practical solution for our kitchen and lower-level remodel. I would, and have, highly recommended her to friends of mine.

smartly incorporated things we liked

She put a lot of time into our design and was able to smartly incorporate things we liked and give us design considerations that we didn't think of.

Andrew R.

wonderful to work with

Joy is wonderful to work with. I wanted to refresh my entire main floor and create a flow from room to room. My challenge was I love many different design styles. Joy guided me through a process of identifying what my style truly is and how to bring it uniquely to each space. My family loves the end result. Joy worked within my budget and created spaces that are now our favorite places to be in our home.

thrilled with our kitchen remodel

We are so thrilled with our kitchen remodel thanks to Joy Edwards Design. As newcomers to remodeling Joy showed her creativity in helping us establish our style. Joy’s suggestions for a multi-use coffee/drink bar, a large pantry, and turning the island around to maximize space and storage were appreciated and built into the plans.

The multi use bar replaced the original placement of the refrigerator which allowed the water line to be used in the coffee machine. The addition of the beverage cooler allows easy access for drinks and snacks. The inclusion of the pantry was so appreciated, as we didn’t think we would have the space for it. Joy solved the layout problem and the result is a large walk in pantry that looks like it has always been there.

Once our design and layout was finalized, Joy walked us through the timeline process, meeting with the contractor, cabinetmakers, and walking us through ordering the appliances. This level of detail by Joy was beyond valuable to us.

We are so thrilled with our kitchen remodel thanks to Joy Edwards Design.

Our kitchen has truly become the heart of our home and we highly recommend Joy to anyone looking to create or recreate their dream living space.

can't recommend more positively

Joy Edwards is a gifted designer. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail is extraordinary. Before working with Joy we worked with a handful of other designers, all of whom wanted to apply cookie cutter solutions that were popular recent design fads.

Joy took this up by ten levels. She met with us and listened to our plans, formed a deep understanding of who we are and what we were looking to do, and presented a deep, thoughtful, beautiful, and inspired plan. Can’t recommend more positively a true artist in an otherwise sterile world.
