Margaret Ash Design

Soon after moving to Nashville from NYC, we hired Margaret Ash to help us with the interiors for our new home. To say that we are thrilled with the results is an understatement. Margaret is a true professional with excellent taste and a keen eye for space and detail. She interpreted our vision and lifestyle to help us create a space that truly reflected our family. She doesn't focus on a particular style or look, but instead prioritizes timeless, comfortable and livable environments tailored to your individual style and needs. She has a fresh, hands-on approach that we appreciated -- no detail was too small and she made herself available whenever we had questions. She is an absolute pleasure to work with -- she has a creative, passionate energy that is contagious and we trust her implicitly. She made the process feel both effortless and enjoyable. We are so thrilled with the outcome and look forward to working with her for years to come.

In 2016, my husband and I embarked on a to-the-studs renovation of our 1300 square foot condo, in a 120-year-old San Francisco, six-unit building. From the beginning, Maggie helped us create a vision for our home. From the early days of planning through contractor selection, construction management and ultimately design, colors, furniture and functionality, Maggie and Chelsi led and managed it all. We moved in in April 2017 and still today, in 2020, the design and materials look as they did from day one, even in spite of a now curious one year old. Maggie’s selections had our child-minded future in focus from day one. I could not be more grateful for her thoughtfulness, vision and execution. I am excited to work with Maggie on our next project. Maggie’s commitment, passion and willingness to work across many aesthetics, including incorporating my husband’s favorite “pet”, a ceramic dog circa the 50’s, and “required” swivel leather chair into the design, further my love and regard of her and the team’s abilities.

I worked closely with Chelsi at Margaret Ash design. Chelsi has an intuitive, sophisticated, and thoughtful approach when working with clients. She knew exactly what I was looking for when I couldn’t quite explain it or understand it myself. Her taste is impeccable and her professionalism unprecedented. I felt so well taken care of in our work together and could not be more content with the beautiful pieces and designs we chose for my home. I can’t wait to work with Chelsi and Margaret Ash Designs in the future.

I worked with Maggie after my family bought our home in Noe Valley. After some not-so-great experiences with other designers, Maggie was a breath of fresh air. She was 100% dedicated to the project (she works with an assistant but does all the design herself), listened to me and understood exactly what I was looking for, and was always responsive to any questions or issues that I brought up. I love color, texture and pattern and she was able to translate that so beautifully. She has exquisite taste. Our house was transformed into a warm, cozy, beautiful environment that I love coming home to every day. I can't recommend her highly enough!!

I have head the pleasure of working with Margaret Ash Design on several projects. Hands down, Margaret and Chelsi are some of my favorites in the industry. Not only are they creatively talented, but they are also highly professional, organized and client-focused. They deliver quality work in a professional fashion and work hard for their clients, many of whom are juggling many projects and therefore, require and expect a high-level of service they can entrust. Many of their clients engage Margaret Ash Design on multiple projects - from family homes to country estates and vacation getaways. They are a gem in the industry and without a doubt, premier professionals whose work and service will stand the test of time.

Margaret Ash is approachable and lovely to partner with to help create a sophisticated home. As a mom with a two year-old son, it was most important for me to find a designer who can relate to my need for high-quality, individualized pieces that will stand the test of time, both from a timeless aesthetic and durable perspective. I didn't want anything too fragile with a toddler in the house. Margaret has become my trusted adviser on everything from color palette to fabric textures to lighting, etc. I wholeheartedly trust her design aesthetic and appreciate the way she balances traditional decor with fresh/clean lines. She has helped making my house a home.

I have photographed two of Margaret Ash Design projects and it has been such a fun, productive and inspiring time. Her projects turned out amazing, which made my work as a photographer even more easy. During the shoots she was extremely helpful, professional and creative. The photoshoots turned into a fun collaboration session to create the most stunning images. Her sense for color coordination and texture is incredible. He projects are one of a kind and I would - no doubt - choose her for my personal design projects at home. I can highly recommend MS Design! (And I did to friends)

I hired Margaret Ash Design for several design projects in my home and I will definitely hire her again when we move to a new home. She seamlessly blended my existing decor and taste with fresh pieces and complimentary colors, all within my budget. I also appreciated that she incorporated durable fabrics that I hadn't considered for my kids' playroom and bedrooms. With all aspects of her work and communication, we were a happy client.
