Marston Studio was like a therapist for our apartment. She took the time to understand our family and how we use our space, and she maximized it in the most gorgeous way. We let her know what influences we love and we love our apartment more than we thought we thought we could. She had our light fixtures handmade for us, and yet they weren’t wildly expensive. We have a home we can share with our family and be comfortable, and share with our friends and impress them. Whitney is not only extremely professional, knowledgable, and creative, but she’s a hoot as well. Do yourself a favor and hire her.

Still in awe at my apartment's transformation and I have Whitney to thank for it. She was a dream to work with; professional yet personable, with a wonderful sense of humor that made for easy & enjoyable communication throughout our project. Whitney was responsive to my very particular needs and performed miracles within my budget, working with her network of artisanal partners to find unique pieces that suited my tastes perfectly (I absolutely love my deco sideboard!). Her impressive knowledge and intuitive aesthetic sensibilities make it clear that Whitney has a passion for her work, and I give her my highest recommendation.

We hired Whitney to decorate our space in the mountains. It's a smaller space and kind of a generic box so we knew we needed to hire someone who could get extremely creative and help us build a space that complimented our surrounding views. Whitney knocked it out of the park. She worked with the space we have, budget we had provided, and was able to finish the project in less than the allotted time. We couldn't be happier! She was a delight to work with and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an interior designer! 10/10!

I cannot recommend Marston Studio enough! They did an amazing job bringing our townhouse to life. As a client I felt that all my needs were heard and met, and the lead designer Whitney took meticulous care to bring our vision to life. We have a toddler so our design needs are specific; kid safe & aesthetically pleasing. Her attention to detail made our lives easier by creating a beautiful, harmonious space we can actually live in. Look no further, this design studio can make your dreams come true!

What's it like working with Whitney and Marston Studio? In a word: life-changing. It literally changed my life, because my home was completely transformed into the home I always wanted, which has made a huge difference! It's incredible to spend my time in such a beautifully considered space—an instant and lasting mood booster.
I always considered myself to be somewhat stylish, but there's a huge difference between what I could pull off and the utter magic that Whitney worked - I never thought my home could be this gorgeous!
Marston Studio creatively combined pieces and accents—incorporating exquisite Moroccan textiles, classic American antiques, cherished keepsakes, and perfectly picked modern furnishings and art pieces—to make something I could have never come up with in a million years but which felt 100% like me.
Whitney didn't impose her own "style" on me, but listened to my ideas then applied her skills to realize what I couldn't exactly articulate. She was an artist, working with color, texture, and material to bring my dream space to life. Whitney pushes boundaries in design, but I never felt pushed into something I didn't want, in fact, in pushing boundaries, she led me to ideas that felt just so right.
Whitney and Marston Studio are incredibly professional. She makes a point of being clear about what is happening, what's coming next, and presents ideas in a way that it's easy to visualize her intention, which takes so much stress out of the process and decision making. You know the entire time you are in the hands of an expert!
I can't say enough about Whitney. In fact, I stop right now so you can get on to booking her immediately!

We hired Marston Studio to decorate our new Brooklyn home and are so happy we did! We finally wanted that thoughtfully decorated home and something more than "we got halfway through this then got tired"...which happens a lot with 2 kids running around. Well now we have it. Our house is functional and beautiful. It's a mix of classic and conversation pieces.
On the business end, timelines and pricing were always clear. All installation and deliveries were handled by Marston Studios. We were constantly kept up to date.

Whitney had great ideas for my entire space and its use, however there was a stand out change for me. For over a decade, I’d been looking at my drooping bookshelves, bowed and badly designed, posing a challenge that I frankly wasn’t up to. Enter Whitney Marston, designer extraordinaire, and within a matter of days, what most likely would have been put off for another decade, became, instead, a quick, cost effective and stunningly simple and elegant solution. She analyzed my needs, led me through a few design options and voila, the sketch was produced and, even more miraculously, materials ordered and a fine carpenter engaged, who Whitney supervised and supported when issues arose (don’t they always?) The result is that my space is unrecognizable. The finished project harmonizes and at the same time uplifts the rather eclectic décor that reflects my personality. The library wall somehow brings it all together and the installation of lighting in each cubby highlights my book collection as well as art objects that now look fresh and vibrant due to the back lighting. I give this gal a five-star rating and almost wish the project weren’t finished because the experience was full of humor and good sense in equal measure. What’s next?!

Whitney is not only wonderfully creative but a consummate professional. We had so much fun updating our entire house with Whitney. She made the process simple and streamlined while opening our eyes to a whole world of new opportunities in the house we’ve been in for so long. Her layout options were absolutely life-changing as were her design selections. Our space is one we now love showing off, Whitney went as far as to update our dinner and drinkware. Her intuitive sense of style and space was truly impressive. Funny and personable, she made sure we knew what was going on when we wanted to know. She stayed on budget and schedule. We adore her and are in love with her work and our renewed appreciation for our home.

Whitney was so professional and in tune to exactly what my space needed. Since moving into my new house, I'd been lost on how to adequately design the living room to show not just my personal style, but with a luxurious touch. Whitney was able to give me exactly that and on budget! From the wallpaper suggestions to the vintage coffee table - I am over the moon! I love having friends over in this space. Thank you Whitney!!

Marston Studio oversaw all of the rebranding and design efforts for my company. Throughout the year long project I found the team professional, calendar and budget sensitive and very enjoyable to work with. I cannot speak more highly of my experience and would absolutely work with them in the future.
