We are excited to announce that AMA Designs & Interiors, an award-winning interior design studio, is now located in Little Falls, New Jersey!

We will miss our start-up location in Caldwell, NJ, which was within a real estate office, and the friendships we have developed over the years from working there. As our business expanded and our team grew, it was time to open up a studio to support our needs and service our Clients.

March 25, 2022

Regardless of the scope of your project, any home project is an investment. We manage projects anywhere from full-room decoration to full-scale renovation. When you are investing thousands into your home, the thought of professional fees for an Interior Designer may raise concern. However, you know in your gut that you don’t have the time or bandwidth to take on the project yourself without the help of an expert.

The value of hiring a professional Interior Designer far outweighs the monetary value.

In today’s blog post, we will share our expertise whether you should remodel or move. If you are unhappy with the current state of your home, you are not alone. Home improvement projects have been on the rise since the pandemic started. Home projects are not the only thing on the rise but the cost of real estate as well. In New Jersey, we have reached a housing boom with homes selling $100,000-$200,000 over asking. Of course, this doesn’t happen with every listing but it is happening more frequently in today’s market. As my husband is a New Jersey realtor, I have an acute awareness to the real estate market and the experiences he has encountered over the past year and a half.

Wine Enthusiasts, Let's Elevate Your Wine Experience

February 19, 2021

I recently virtually attended the largest Kitchen & Bath industry show, KBIS. Attending tradeshows is vital as it allows my team and I to confidently recommend products to our clients. When proposing items, you can trust that we have either tested the product or received in-depth training to understand and learn more about the brand. It’s wild to reflect on my experience at KBIS of January 2020 versus KBIS Virtual 2021. One year ago, I traveled from Caldwell, New Jersey, to Las Vegas, stayed in the Nomad Hotel, toured the tradeshow amongst thousands of visitors worldwide, physically tested the latest innovations, and networked with my colleagues with fancy cocktails at beautifully designed lounges.
