Testimonials

Jacqueline Paredi is an exceptionally creative interior designer with distinctive style and taste. We engaged her to assist us in decorating a second home in Florida, and were both impressed and pleased with her commitment, integrity and level of service. She invested the time to understand our aesthetic values and design preferences, and worked with us to visualize and craft a finished product we truly enjoy. Her work is characterized by her insightful attention to detail, design skills and recommendations, knowledge of the broad array of furniture options, artwork and accessories, and exceptional style.

After a disappointing experience with a previous interior decorator……then enters Jacqueline to assist us with our living room and fireplace. By Christmas, as planned, she transformed the room beautifully. I love working with her and was so impressed with her creativity and abundance of ideas that she is now helping me to update other rooms in our home….she will not disappoint!

Jacqueline at SRQ Interior Design helped us decorate our new home in Longboat Key, and proved to be fantastic. Not only does she have a great sense of design, talent in combining colors, she’s peppy, efficient and responsive. She’s changed the way look at other people’s homes and I now realize that they all need more color. There’s too much beige and brown out there! She uses what we have and adds things and makes it all look so gorgeous. We love our home!

This is not your typical recommendation. Jacqueline and I never met until the job was finished. That was the first challenge. All of the work was done through phone calls and text messages. The second challenge was taking over where another decorator had left off. But she quickly assessed/determined what we wanted based on what had been completed and then dove in. After seeing the results, I truly feel Jacqueline can work with any budget and any look or style you are trying to achieve. Trying to manage this project with 1,200 miles between us was a challenge for both of us. But when I walked into our finished place for the first time, I was truly amazed and felt it could not have turned out better had we been working side by side. Thank you Jacqueline for all of your hard work and turning our place into a dream come true.

Jacqueline Paredi at SRQ Interior Design came highly recommended and did not disappoint. We are in the process of relocating our office and needed some assistance with the interior design. Jacqueline made it very easy, advising on color schemes as well as furniture. She worked around my schedule and my budget which is greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this company.

Thank you! A testimonial to all your hard work.

We were recently referred to SRQ Interior Design, where we had the pleasure of consulting with Jacqueline Paredi. We are currently in the process of downsizing from our larger house, to a smaller villa. The villa’s living space is very different from our house. Until Jacqueline’s initial consultation, the experience of trying to decorate the villa, and decide what to take from our house, was totally overwhelming and stressful.

Jacqueline came to our house to assess our style, and color preferences. With this in mind, she presented us with creative options for the villa, utilizing some of our existing furniture and accent pieces. She also suggested unique and delightful additions for the villa, all the while respectful of our need to maintain a budget.

Jacqueline is an innovative, talented professional, who has gone “above and beyond” to assist us. Her expertise in design and redesign is fresh and outstanding. Thanks to Jacqueline’s valuable input, we are now able to look forward to moving into our personalized and comfortable new home. Thank you, Jacqueline!

I have had the pleasure of working with Jacqueline Paredi, owner of SRQ Interior Design for staging my residential listings. She is a pleasure to work with and knows just what to say to owners to maximize the aesthetics of their homes. When required, she provides a written staging consultation for my clients to follow. She re-spaces existing furnishings and accessories on the spot, and has a creative and elegant eye. Jacqueline also provides direction and shopping services for new affordable items for the homeowner as needed to enhance their spaces, indoors and out. She is high energy, has made my clients very happy, and has transformed homes dramatically even within her first staging consultation. I highly recommend SRQ Interior Design for residential staging and redesign.
