Dara Agruss Design

“We had the pleasure of working with Dara on designing our new home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.”

We had the pleasure of working with Dara on designing our new home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, she was incredibly accommodating, always ready to listen to our ideas while offering thoughtful, practical advice. Even when things didn’t always go according to plan, she remained hands-on and proactive, stepping in to help us navigate any challenges. What really stood out to us was how well she understood our style. She didn’t just replicate it—she elevated it, transforming our vision into something that’s both timeless and unique. Her ability to blend our personal tastes with sophisticated design elements has made our home truly one of a kind. We’re thrilled with the results so far and are so grateful for her expertise and dedication throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!

“Dara Agruss is an absolute dream to work with.”

Dara Agruss is an absolute dream to work with! She completely transformed our dining room, powder room, entry way, living room, and my older daughter’s bedroom for her birthday, and the results are beyond anything I could have imagined. I’m someone who struggles to visualize what spaces can look like, and I easily get overwhelmed when faced with too many choices. Dara was a lifesaver in that regard—she truly listened to what mattered to both my husband and me and came back with just 2-3 curated options each time, making the process stress-free and enjoyable. Before working with Dara, I had tried RH's design center, and it just wasn’t the right fit for me. I mentioned a couch I liked but wasn’t sure if it would suit our space, and instead of guidance, I was handed a massive book of fabric options to choose from. It felt more like a push to make a sale than helping me make the right choice. Dara, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. She understood that we have two small kids and made thoughtful recommendations, like choosing less expensive upholstery for the dining room where spills are more likely, while suggesting higher-quality fabric for the living room. I never once felt like I was being sold on anything. For someone who doesn’t have a natural eye for design, Dara is my secret weapon to make it seem like I do. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Dara has an incredible eye for detail and incorporating personality into her work. She also gives back to her community. She recently donated a classroom makeover for a teacher. That’s the kind of company you want to work with! Liz Stroud

Stunning Bathroom Renovations We worked with Dara to completely renovate two bathrooms down to the studs, including reconfiguring the space to expand the primary. Not only did Dara perfectly capture the aesthetic we were going for (when we struggled to articulate it ourselves), but she did so under serious time constraints and working from afar (lake house). We could not be more pleased with the professionalism, communication, vision and the stellar result Dara delivered! We recommend her without question and would be thrilled to work with her again.

Dara was excellent in giving her opinion and blending it with my own preferences. She remained cognizant of costs as well as taste. Very easy and pleasant to work with. Hassle free, great result.

“Dara was referred to us by one of our family members.”

Dara was referred to us by one of our family members. We hesitated at first as we don't have a good track record with working with designers. Dara made everything so easy. She spent the time to understand what we like and we didn't like and what our vision was and executed it so well! She was patient and very easy to work it. We will certainly use her again in our future projects.

Dara did a really amazing job on our neighbors' new home renovation - she completely transformed an old and outdated house into a modern paradise. Some of the furniture pieces and decor items made the home unique and tasteful, and they were delighted with the result. We plan on working with Dara in the future for a few upcoming projects later this year and can't wait to get started.

“My friends just bought and decorated their new home, and it was absolutely stunning.”

My friends just bought and decorated their new home, and it was absolutely stunning! When I asked how they pulled off such an amazing design they raved about Dara and said she brought their vision to life. The vibe of the whole house was consistent in the theme, but each area had its own unique theme, which I thought was really cool. Amazing job Dara and hopefully we have a project for you in the future!
