"I cannot say enough about Broad Avenue, Karen and her team are the best! Their work is unparalleled in this area! I would recommend them to anyone who wants a professional and trustworthy team with one of a kind taste. They always over-deliver and make my job (to sell) easy. Amazing work by an amazing team. I have used them in Chicago/Hinsdale, IL and Naples, FL and it is a slam dunk every time."

"When we purchased our condo under construction, we needed a team that could undertake the entire design and decorating project. Broad Avenue went over and above in accomplishing this. The entire Broad Avenue team really listened to us about our needs and especially about the “look” we desired for our new condo. The finished product looks even better than we had imagined. We truly enjoy every minute living in this beautiful “piece of heaven” that Broad Avenue had a big part in creating. Thank you all so much & we appreciate your friendship."
"Working with the team at Broad Avenue was the most enjoyable experience I have had decorating a home. The designers really listened to what I wanted in terms of style and budget, and worked hard to finish the project quickly. Anytime I wanted to make a change or see more options, I always heard the same response, “our goal is to make sure you love everything.” My home turned out beautiful and just the way I wanted it, I wouldn’t change a thing! I am very grateful to the team at Broad Avenue for making my dream a reality!"
"I couldn't be more thrilled with the exceptional service and design expertise provided by Broad Avenue. From the moment we engaged with their team, it was clear that they possess a unique dedication to detail that sets them apart in the industry."
"Every aspect of our project, from conceptualization to execution, was handled with meticulous care. The designers at Broad Avenue took the time to truly understand my vision and translated it into a space that not only met but exceeded my expectations. Their attention to detail was evident in every corner of the design – from the choice of materials to the placement of each element, everything was carefully considered to ensure functionality and aesthetic harmony."
"What impressed me the most was their ability to blend creativity with practicality. They didn't just create a beautiful space; they optimized it for our specific needs and preferences. Their expertise in spatial planning and design principles made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Working with Broad Avenue was a collaborative journey where our ideas were seamlessly integrated with their professional insights. The result is a space that not only reflects our personality but also enhances our daily lives. I would highly recommend Broad Avenue to anyone looking for a design partner who goes above and beyond to deliver excellence."
