Get some design advice and do a good deed! Spruce It Up!, sponsored by the New Jersey Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), will pair you with a qualified interior designer who can analyze your residential or commercial space and help you develop a new direction to meet your needs.
In October, ASID designers will provide one- or two-hour consultations at $150 per hour. Participants will designate which of the 24 New Jersey Habitat for Humanity affiliates will receive their consultation fee and will write the check directly to that Habitat affiliate.
“We are proud to support such a wonderful organization in their mission to bring people together to build homes, communities and hope,” says ASID NJ Chapter President Michael Mariotti, ASID.
For additional information about the program or to request a Spruce It Up! Consultation with an ASID designer in your area, contact the New Jersey Chapter of ASID at 732-787-5981 or e-mail [email protected].

Here’s what some previous participants had to say:
“My consultation was a very enjoyable experience. Our designer gave a complete assessment of my design dilemma, offered several options to solve it and followed through after with a selection of color options and materials. She was a pleasure to work with and I will probably contact her for some follow-up on my current project. “–R.S, Montclair, NJ
“My wife and I were hesitant to work with a designer, probably because we were concerned that a designer would not listen to us. This Spruce It Up program was a great way for us to try the experience. It was a pleasant surprise that the designer was so understanding of our concerns and questions. I thought we might be controlled by the process, but instead this designer made it clear that it was our goals, tastes and desires that directed her advice for us. The two-hour consultation was quite valuable and I would highly recommend this level of expertise from your ASID organization to others.”–FB, Monmouth, NJ
“I was at a standstill as to how to fix my room and unsure if it was too small of a project to involve a designer. After my meeting, and consulting with her, I now see I can include the help of a designer in my project, whether is for the whole project or just a portion.”–VG, Whippany, NJ
“Our designer was knowledgeable, professional and extremely helpful. He offered some wonderful ideas. My problem now is how to afford all I would like to do! I’m hoping I can engage him in the future. He was terrific and you can/should be proud to have him in your organization.”–DH, Wayne, NJ
