Working with Lisa is pure joy. Her ebullient personality is engaging and energizing, while at the same time she is an intuitive listener, translator and navigator. When we first worked with Lisa, my husband and I were working complex schedules. Lisa was always accommodating and flexible, helping us re-envision our home-- repurposing some pieces, replacing others. She did all the leg work finding pieces or fabrics for us to choose among, as well as finding highly capable vendors for window treatments, repainting and refinishing. Lisa has broad knowledge and expertise. Her ideas were spot on and we feel like we have moved into a new home, not just because of the transformation but also because we are using spaces we never used before! We are so grateful for the impact she has made and the friend she has become.

I have had the pleasure of working with Lisa Zizzi for over twenty years. I have a very busy career and having her expert guidance has allowed me to decorate my house more quickly and in a more cost effective manner than if I tried to do so on my own. She understands my taste, curates options and helps execute on custom items. I even have Lisa frame and hang my art collection. My home has become a true oasis for our family and friends, in no small part to the wonderful support and design direction Lisa has given us over the years. Many friends have asked me for her details and subsequently worked with Lisa, with equal delight.

"I can't say enough about Lisa Zizzi. She is as great to work with as she is talented, and she absolutely transformed my condo. The best part: Lisa never imposed her taste and preferences on me; rather, she helped me better channel what I like and incorporate an eclectic mix of periods, colors and textures. Also, great: I never knew whether we'd be hitting a high-end shop or Home Goods. Lisa's not a design snob; rather, she's got a great eye for style as well as bargains, and I appreciate that. Another plus that I love is that Lisa's got a vendor or an artisan or a someone for everything -- and they too are terrific. It's a ball working with Lisa."

“I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with Lisa for the last 6 years. I found Lisa through a friend who worked with her when she was remodeling her house. Her finished home looked like the perfect reflection of our friends and their family, yet I knew they both worked full-time, how did they do it? Lisa Zizzi! Lisa is fantastic to work with, she quickly understood my vision for our home. One that started with just two adults and then morphed into a busy family of four with two young, active boys. Lisa took the time to understand what we wanted, and when sometimes my husband and I didn't agree, Lisa managed to take both of our wishes and make them work.
Lisa is great in that she will work within your budget. She doesn't care if you buy a piece from Jordan's Furniture or the Design Center, my house is a mix of both. The outcome in working with Lisa is a home that has our personality throughout the house as well as functioning perfectly for our busy family. Lisa can handle it all from finding the perfect sofa and end tables, to finding accessories that perfectly compliment your living spaces, to providing references for rug cleaning or upholstery, Lisa has an answer for every question.
I am a repeat customer with Lisa. She helped me with our home in Newton, our summer home on Martha's Vineyard and we've now moved and she's helping me integrate our furnishings into a new home while also helping me with decisions around a new kitchen, two full bathrooms and one half bathroom.
I've recommended Lisa to many friends who have also enjoyed working with her. You spend a lot of time with your designer, you open up your home and the intimate details of how you live in your home and with your spouse and children. Lisa is trustworthy and professional and at the same time is so much fun to work with. I have so much respect for her talent as a designer as well as just being a fantastic human being.”

"I have enjoyed working with Lisa for over 10 years. She is easy to work with and very flexible in accommodating how I would like to work with her on a given project. Sometimes we go shopping together, and other times she brings photos and samples to me. She is always more than willing to help with any task - small or large - from framing a piece of a child's art to redecorating an entire room. She has changed empty rooms or outdated styles to warm and inviting spaces. She is very well organized and comes prepared to every meeting. Her advice and expertise are priceless."
