“Linda Ruderman’s designs are timeless and elegant. She helped me achieve my dream home by designing a fabulous interior. Each room flows beautifully and gracefully. Linda and her staff always made my job a priority. Their dedication, creativity and responsiveness are exceptional. Linda’s taste and ideas capture everything I ever wanted in a home.

“From the moment my husband Tom and I began to do business with Linda and her professional LRI staff we knew we were in the right hands. Linda is passionate about all aspects of her business. She responds fast, listens to what you have to say, and gets engaged. Linda believes that she and her staff are there to provide creative concepts and ideas geared to enhance your style of living whether it is casual, contemporary, transitional or formal, or a combination of styles.

From 1994 to present Linda has completed four projects for us: house in Brookline, Ma., home in Wellesley, Ma., and two different homes in Quogue, New York. All four projects were totally different in look and scope. From bedrooms to kitchens to total house design and decorating the outcome of our projects were creative, sumptuous, livable and elegant.

Linda and her staff spend a considerable amount of time understanding how a family lives and then takes charge, blending our thoughts and style into the finished product in a very timely and timeless way. Linda will always come up with two or three different ways to solve a problem or enhance your project.

We are embarking on another project with Linda and her team and we can’t wait to begin the journey…”

“Linda Ruderman Interiors helped us create the home that we always dreamed of. From the very beginning of the home design process, Linda and her design team were instrumental in creating a period home that required a special, expert touch to maintain family-style warmth and comfort in a very large space.

Linda’s knowledge of period furniture and decorative style, and her excellent resources for furniture, fabrics, trims, and fixtures combined to give us just the look we desired. With such a large project, it was essential to maintain control of a high volume of details and specifics while moving the project forward. Linda’s strong organizational skills started us off with detailed furniture layouts and followed through to the details of specific fabrics and trims. LRI kept us apprised of the project schedule, costs vs. budget, installation plans, and punch lists at every stage.

Linda has a knack for finding the perfect piece to complete the room; in our case, many pieces! Her skilled eye always found just the right trim to complement a fabric. Linda’s ability to work effectively with our architect and builder was a critical success factor, keeping our project on time and on budget.

Decorating a home sounded like such an adventure to me when we started our project. I quickly learned that the number of options and decisions that are involved can make the design project overly complicated and burdensome to the typical homeowner. We relied on Linda’s expertise to research the options and focus the suggestions on those that were most appropriate for our home and family lifestyle, saving us much time and energy and making the process more enjoyable for us.

Linda was a delight to work with, always responsive to our needs and considerate of our tastes, yet providing an expert eye for making our home design and décor work and look its best. Our dream home is beautiful, thanks to LRI!”

“Working with Linda was a wonderful experience. With my previous designer, I had to be very involved to be sure that everything was getting done and to my liking. With Linda, it has been easy to take a step back and relax all the while knowing that the details in my home will be comfortable, functional, and always beautiful. In addition to her design talent, Linda managed to coordinate the efforts of several parties in one project to be sure that the project was kept moving in a timely fashion. The spaces Linda created are both mine and my husband’s favorite rooms in our home.”

“Linda Ruderman is an exceptional interior designer with great styleand taste. Her firm is very professional and Linda is easy to work with. We hired Linda in 1997 to design an addition to our home in Greenwich, Ct. and freshen up some of the other rooms. We hired her again for our home that was being built in Vero Beach, Fl. The most recent project we have completed with Linda is our home in Palm Beach. This is the testimony to her consistency and our trust in her. She has never failed us and we look forward to working with her again soon.”

-Pat & Ed McLaughlin, Vero Beach, FL, Palm Beach, FL, & Greenwich, CT

“Linda Ruderman and her LRI team are true professionals and a pleasure to work with. Our entire project (from layouts and selections to installations and invoicing) was handled in a first-class manner. Linda’s work is distinguished by her exceptional style, design skills, attention to detail, and experience. We would highly recommend LRI to anyone wanting a beautiful home.”

“I was introduced to the world of LRI several years ago when I was at my wits end in my search for a designer who would fit the needs of our family. Not an easy task in an apartment space in New York City; especially one that accommodates four rambunctious boys!

After spreading ‘the word’ via elementary school express (the mother’s) I received a call one morning that peaked my interest: I was sold as soon as the caller said: In ones life, you can count on your fingers those people who make a difference; Linda Ruderman is one of those special individuals who will change your world. And so our relationship emerged.

LRI has surpassed my expectations in SO many ways since then; first and foremost, you feel cradled by the professional tone that Linda exudes – you preserve she can make even the biggest decorating or design problem manageable. Her ability to recognize your needs and present the solutions is succinct and often supported with diagrams, graphs, and samples of luscious fabrics and livable floor plans. At the same time, Linda and her staff work their magic behind the scenes, leaving no stone unturned and always with the luxurious end in mind.

Over the years, we have worked on a broad range of projects; two years ago, it was remodeling our living room, dining room, and foyer here in the city and concurrently the same in our home in Quogue. At present Linda has been devoting time to creating a ‘Zen like’ Master bedroom (together with updating the bathroom and dressing-room). Each scheme was individually crafted with great respect given to my requests. The result was WOW!

Most certainly there isn’t another interior design company that can offer the personal and professional services, supported by up to the minute state of the art technology that is backed by 20 plus years of success after beautiful success.”

-Victoria Tomashoff, New York City, NY

“Having seen Linda’s work in a modern skyscraper condo, an elegant pre-war townhouse, and a charming country home on the Sound, I was immensely impressed with her design and decorative talent. When it came time for us to furnish the interiors of our “castle” we spoke her name in unison as our first choice of a design professional! I love how Linda combined her expertise of the furnishings and textiles of different eras and regions with our vision for an elegant yet welcoming environment which reflected our particular lifestyle. I marvel at Linda’s expansive knowledge of her field, her exquisite taste and appreciate her sensitive approach to the client. Now, as we embark on our next project with Linda, I look forward to seeing LRI’s creative genius combined with real-life practicality in action once again!”

“Working with Linda Ruderman has been a wonderful experience. She knows how to listen to my ideas anddevelop them into something well beyond my dreams. She pays attention to the big picture as well as to every little detail.Linda truly knows what makes a house a home. Her selections are always comfortable and elegant, over pretentious and over-done.My house has been finished for a while, and weare still happy with everything. I amalways in touch with Linda on small things like where to hang a painting or what kind of flowers to arrange for a party. She calls or emails back with the answers to everything! I feel lucky that I have found a truly talented designer and someone I call a friend.”

-Roberta Smithline, Rye, NY

“We have used Linda Ruderman as our interior designer for over twenty years. While she is a successful businesswoman, at heart she is an artist and treats every project as something she needs to make an artistically perfect reflection of her client’s taste and desires. She is organized, responsive, and stands behind her work 100%. We could not give her a higher recommendation”.
