Julie is extremely professional and a true expert in her field. Her design schemes were beautiful, and the manner in which she presented them was concise and focused. She helped us make decisions and not get overwhelmed in the process. She worked diligently with sources for wallpaper, floor tile, fabric, furniture, etc. to select gorgeous finishes for the project. Julie was timely in her delivering her work and always communicated next steps. Julie's design gave us the vision for our stunning looking medical office! More...

I had a wonderful experience working with Julie for an apartment staging and I am very happy with the finished product.


Julie was quite responsive, a workhorse (able to manage multiple details and problems), and completely reliable and trustworthy.

The quality of her work and finishes were fantastic (from color scheme, to furniture selection, to sticking to a tight budget, to subtle nuances and textures); I am proud to recommend her to anyone that would consider using her.

I met Julie Schuster more than a year ago at the kick-off Interior Design Society New York Chapter event. I was immediately impressed with her warm, gracious style. She is always radiant and it is infectious. She brings these same qualities into her work. I was thrilled when she asked me to create art for her Design on a Dime NYC project. She sent me photos and swatches of everything she curated for the room, which turned out amazing. Her creativity was clearly evident, from the airbrushed walls, down to the brass sconces made from real instruments. I watched her work tirelessly to bring her room to fruition and help raise as much money as possible for Housing Works. I was so humbled to be a part of it and help raise money with my art. More...

As a design professional, Julie Shuster is a colleague of mine and that said I would also say she is a designers - designer. A person that instills the feeling of trust right from the very first meeting. She brings with her not only the normal credentials of a seasoned professional but also the time tested reinforcement of Feng Shui to create the harmony, peace of mind and good fortune that any client would desire.
My collaboration with her on the show/auction Design on a Dime proved to be one of the most fruitful unions of my career with the whole experience yielding tremendous positive energy for the entire Housing Works community. Adding to this, she is a person of cultivated beauty who loves to share with others and is not afraid to take risks.
I feel very happy to know and continue to know her and would not hesitate at all to recommend her for any design project, large or small as she is quite focussed on her client's harmonious and esthetic integration with their surroundings. More...

I have worked together with Julie both on apartment renovation projects and, as co-members of the International Furnishings and Design Association where she is a very active member. In all her dealings, she is 100% professional, capable and reliable. Apart from her beautiful design style, which you can see in her photos, I can attest to her trustworthiness, and follow through. If Julie says she is going to do something, you can be 100% confident that she will come through on that promise, and will do so on time and on budget. Add to that the fact that she is a pleasure to work with and I can say that she is truly outstanding in her field. More...

I've known and worked with Julie Schuster for about a year now. I find her to be extremely professional, with a tremendous eye to detail. She allows her professional suppliers to offer their insights when creating design solutions that in turn create beautiful results for her and her clients. Highly recommended. More...

I recommended Julie to a client of mine to help stage an apartment that was empty prior to selling. Julie worked with my client and stayed within her budget and staged the apartment beautifully. . we ended up receiving multiple bids, sharply over the asking price, and way above the building comps! I highly recommend Julie as she is great to work with and very affordable with great results! More...

I just wanted to write to tell you how happy I am with all of the fine work you have done with me for my clients. You are a home-staging expert! From sprawling river-view residences on Sutton Place, to prewar gems with limited views in Carnegie Hill, to some over-cluttered and neglected Upper West and Upper East Side homes, you always know just what needs to be done. Each time you work with one of my clients staging their apartments prior to listing them for sale, your results are nothing short of spectacular. My clients love your vision and whenever they take your suggestions, I sell their properties for higher prices in a shorter amount of time than would have been possible otherwise. You get it done and you get it done fast!

I look forward to working with you again soon. All of my best wishes for your continued success. More...

My new apartment underwent renovations and redecorating which included new stone tile floors, painting, window treatments, rugs, furniture. Julie's design taste and advice is impeccable. Unique to her company is her expertise in Feng Shui which adds that extra special detail to make me feel at ease and at peace in my home. Julie's communication skills are unparalleled and I was given notes on every meeting we had, every decision made and every follow-up. I still continue to work with Julie and will be sad when my projects are over as she is a pleasure with which to work and I will miss her presence. Julie was able to turn an unpleasant experience into one that was creative and fun. More...
