HAPPY CLIENTS

  • "I was so fortunate to have been introduced to Martina and Lemongrass Design by a friend. My family and I recently purchased a 100+year old Colonial, that is beautiful but we wanted to make it our own. Martina helped us create the Master Bedroom of our dreams. The process included construction, layout changes, built-in closests and shelving, and a complete bathroom redesign. Martina made the process seamless, striking the right balance between listening to our needs and pushing us to inspired design. I love every square inch of our MB Suite, the craftsmanship and design are exquisite. I will definitely be working with Martina and Lemongrass Design again in the future."

    — KATIE, MONTCLAIR, NJ

  • "Martina and Lemon Grass designed a bathroom, kitchen and dining room update. These rooms turned our least favorite spaces into our favorites! Martina is not only a wonderful modern designer but was a great project manager. She kept the project moving along and kept an eye on things when we couldn’t. Our humble Bloomfield colonial house is now a beautiful space that we are proud of. Overall, we plan to use Martina and Lemon Grass for every home project both great and small for many years to come."

    — ERIC, BLOOMFIELD, NJ

  • “Our renovations are finally complete and my sanity is in check thanks to Martina. She not only has a keen eye for design and decorating but also executed drawings for custom bookcases, our living room mantle and kitchen table. She was a joy to work with as we endured a stressful remodel. Martina is talented, committed and runs an integrity driven business. A rare combination!”

    — LAURA, MONTCLAIR, NJ

  • “We needed help decorating the original period part of our Victorian home to match its history, but we also needed help decorating the new part of our home which we wanted to feel quite different but still blend well overall. We are pleased to say how happy we were with Martina’s services. Lemon Grass really listened to what we were trying to accomplish, and Martina brought up many beautiful ideas that were alternatively highly practical or very innovative – Lemongrass helped make our renovation experience so much easier, and every day we look around and are so pleased with the results.”

    — SUNNY, RIDGEWOOD, NJ

  • “We hired Lemon Grass Interior Architecture to provide professional assistance to us during a recent home addition & renovation project. We had been in our home for over 8 years and knew what we wanted to do to enhance the layout and footprint of the first floor BUT we were paralyzed to take that first step. While considering the project and possibilities we met with a number of professional firms and individuals. Ultimately it was Martina at Lemon Grass who we connected with, who we hired and who helped us with every step. Along the way we were able to capitalize on Martina’s experience, knowledge and sense of style. She was able to help us see the forest through the trees and in the end we have a renovation which was: (a) without a hitch, (b) completed ahead of schedule & and on budget and (c) better than we could have ever imagined.”

    — CAROLINE & ED, GLEN RIDGE, NJ

  • “I can't say enough positive things about our experience of working with Martina. She first helped us with an interior decoration project which totally transformed several of our rooms. Martina has an excellent way of listening to what it is you are looking for and then coming back with ideas that match up with your hopes and also expand the possibilities. She is not afraid to challenge you in a constructive way. We've now done two projects with Lemon Grass and we will never do another one without them being involved. 100% total, complete and utter recommendation!”

    – PHILIP, GLEN RIDGE, NJ

  • “As both discerning homeowners and professionals with high expectations, we found Martina and Lemon Grass to be an essential partner in transforming our home. We couldn’t recommend them more highly and would encourage any homeowner to speak with Martina before committing to a design resource. Lemon Grass has the rare mix of design skill and project management aptitude. Martina and her team are accessible, communicative partners with an eye towards detail. On a human level, Martina is a warm and lovely person who is honest to a fault and committed to her clients. We continue to seek her counsel long after the renovations and design work came to an end, and she is always there for us.”

    – JENN AND JON, SOUTH ORANGE, NJ

  • “My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Martina last year when we first opened our dental practice–the waiting area was outdated and looked like your traditional doctor's office when we first purchased this office; we knew we wanted to hire an interior designer to help make the room feel more contemporary, cozy, and modern and we were so glad we found Martina. Our patients are constantly complimenting us on the decor of the officeWe decided to hire Martina once again for our home- she was able to quickly understand the vision, flow, and overall esthetic we wanted for the rooms and she was able to execute professionally and timely. We couldn't recommend her more if we tried!”

    – JANE, BLOOMFIELD & LIVINGSTON, NJ

  • “When I moved into my new home in Glen Ridge in August of 2017, I was delighted to have a much smaller, cozy and more manageable home than my last. But I quickly discovered that almost none of my furniture would work in this new home. My furniture and artwork was way too big, and, I have 18 windows on the first floor of this small house. Where would I put the furniture even if it fit? My real estate agent suggested I call Martina. She's been an absolute God-send! She took stock of all of the problems I faced: traffic flow, lighting, what to do with the kids shoes by the front door, and came up with such creative solutions. She's fantastic with colors and textures. Today, I continue to work with Martina, Pam and Viktoryia. My bedroom and daughter's room is in progress. I can’t wait to enjoy!”

    – BROOKE, GLEN RIDGE, NJ

  • “​​If I could give Martina Servos and the team at Lemon Grass, a higher rating, I would! She brings your vision (even if your vision is not crystal clear) into fruition, with professionalism, grace, and poise. But what makes Lemon Grass really stand out and rise above of all the others, is Martina's eye AND her need to make your living space more unique and beautiful than you could ever imagine. Lemon Grass helped us create a house that is timelessly beautiful and unique, while simultaneously making it functional and remarkable. Martina pours her heart and soul into your home. Her charism, attention to detail, forward thinking, and open-mindedness is unparalleled. Pam's ability to quickly and efficiently communicate, navigate, and provide you with information is a blessing! You will not regret choosing to work with Martina and Pam at Lemon Grass Interior Architecture. They will work to make your life and home all the more beautiful!”

    – NEIL AND LAURA, FAIR LAWN, NJ

  • “Working with Martina has been a wonderful experience! She is attentive, professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and charming. She paid close attention to what we asked for, and delivered all that and more. She brought new and fresh ideas to our original concept, and the end result is all we hoped for. We're just finishing up a second major renovation project with Martina (first was a suburban kitchen, second is a city apartment), and we couldn't be happier with Lemon Grass and their associates. It took us several yeas of looking to find them, and well worth the search! I highly recommend Lemon Grass Interior Architecture!”

    – KATHY, MORRISTOWN, NJ

  • “I can't say enough about Martina. Her taste is exquisite, she is extremely responsive and really really cares about her clients and their happiness. My only regret is that I don't have another house for her to work her magic on!”

    – LISA, BLOOMFIELD, NJ

  • “I had a great experience working with Martina and her team. The Lemongrass process was extremely professional and they were always responsive, timely and thorough which I really appreciated. Martina is talented and insightful and saw potential for my home I never would have dreamed of. I set her a challenging task of making over the main downstairs rooms in my center hall colonial while incorporating existing furniture and keeping costs down. She nailed it! We worked together to splurge on the pieces that mattered and get creative elsewhere. It was a great experience and I look forward to bringing Martina back for bigger projects in the future.”

    – RACHEL, GLEN RIDGE, NJ

  • “When we hired Lemon Grass we were looking for a partner that would help make the many large and tiny decisions that define a space. Martina set a bold direction for our project which we would not have contemplated on our own. We are extremely happy in our new space and many of our friends comment it looks "like something out of a magazine." Highly recommend.”

    – CHARLES, GLEN RIDGE, NJ

  • “We at Oasis Architecture recently completed an extremely successful collaboration with Lemon Grass Interior Architecture - the interior and exterior reconstruction of the rear half of a 1920's home in the Glen Ridge Historic District. The client was ready for something bright, flowing, and modern, the Historic Preservation Commission was excited about the careful blending of old and new, and our effortless collaboration with Lemon Grass yielded a synthesis of the kind that the clients desired - a reconfigured first floor with plenty of natural light and clean lines, great looking shapes and surfaces, and absolute livability. Martina's contributions were superb. Stay tuned for great pix!”

    – OASIS ARCHITECTURE, MONTCLAIR, NJ

  • “Just finished my master bathroom. Thank the Gods for Martina! She gave such great advice on how to work with a small space. The bathroom looks SO MUCH bigger. I love everything about it - it is stunning. I never could have done this on my own with the same results - that's for sure. I love the tile, the fixtures, the colors... Martina listens, is so personable - an absolute pleasure to work with! Pics will be posted soon!”

    – CHRISTINE, GLEN RIDGE, NJ

  • “Martina is a true professional and very fun to work with. Her architectural knowledge and her sense of design are a winning combination! She designed our project and followed it through to the end. She worked hand in hand with our GC and all the subs. We could not be happier with our new home.”

    – KRISTIN, MONTCLAIR, NJ

  • “Martina and her Lemon Grass team were always professional. She was easy to work with and did a fabulous job organizing all the sub contractors on the project. We love our new bedroom and look forward to working with her again.”

    – PATTY, GLEN RIDGE, NJ

  • “Right from the start it was apparent that Martina has an incredible eye for design, and that she truly listens to her clients and helps make their vision a reality. She reimagined our space in a way we couldn't have dreamed of. We've been living here 6+ months now and can honestly say we wouldn't change a thing. Martina connected us with wonderful professionals. She and her team maintained excellent communication and time/budget management throughout. Oh, and our daughter adores her. :) We are so grateful for Martina's partnership, and for the beautiful dream home we now call our own!”

    – LAUREN, MONTCLAIR, NJ

  • “Martina of Lemon Grass completely understood the vision I had for my new state of the art practice. She developed and communicated this vision with everybody involved in my project. I was still running my two other offices while the new space was being gutted and rebuilt. Therefore I relied and very much appreciated Lemon Grass' project management. I cannot tell how happy and proud I am, coming in every morning! And every patient's compliment proves that Lemon Grass was the right choice. The new facility has created a 10%-15% spike in activity - I couldn't be more pleased.”

    – KONSTANTINE, MONTCLAIR, NJ

  • “Martina did a fantastic job of updating the look of our kitchen. It was a challenging project given the high ceilings and the current limit on counter top space. The design completely changed the functionality of the kitchen, and we couldn't be happier. The look was updated with custom cabinetry, the design added more counter space and storage, and it really opened the kitchen to make it seem larger. We are very pleased with the outcome!”

    – BRIAN, GLEN RIDGE, NJ

  • “If you're looking for a designer with impeccable taste, work ethic, and listening skills, consider Martina at Lemon Grass for your next project! I work with a lot of designers in my field and I always look forward to a Lemon Grass project because I know the result will be fabulous!”

    – NINA, FAIRFIELD, NJ

  • “Working with Martina was a great pleasure and fun. The love she has for what she does shows in every step of the project. She's impeccable and goes beyond expectations with her design, aesthetics and professionalism. Her style is very unique. We love European mid century style and she interpreted our ideas and made them real and beautiful. Now we love our master suite!”

    – ARTURO & MARIANNE, BASKING RIDGE, NJ

  • “I'm exceptionally pleased with the advice and work of Martina at Lemon Grass Interior. She's been helping transition the house I live in into my home by tackling projects big and small. I chose Lemon Grass/ Martina over others given her ability to understand and share an aesthetic. We discussed a project for turning my existing family room into something that could improve the balance of function and form. Martina came back with drawings and options for shelving and drawer space that converted an area where my children play / watch TV into a place where play space and style can co-exist. She understood the "look" I wanted and brought it to life. My kids and I love it! This is a budget sensitive group. You don't have to worry about up-selling and over charging. I happily recommend Lemon Grass Interior Architecture for the unpretentious and high quality service provided, and I look forward to tackling the next project with them.”

    – LAWRENCE, MONTCLAIR, NJ

  • “Working with Martina was wonderful. She knew what we wanted right away and didn't waste our time showing us things we didn't like. We loved everything she did and are so happy with our new kitchen, living, dining room open space. I highly recommend her!”

    – KATE, MONTCLAIR, NJ

  • “Martina helped us create a master bath oasis. She started with a completely raw space & created a totally unique layout, unlike anything we had seen before. It took her vision to take an empty room and turn it into the master bath of our dreams. She was able to take all of our requests and turn them into a reality with her careful attention to detail. Martina listened to our needs and translated them into the layout. The end result is a magnificent bathroom that is completely outside the traditional box.”

    – CINDY, GLEN RIDGE, NJ

  • “Working with Martina has been a wonderful experience. Her knowledge and creative designs really changed the look and feel of our home, and we love the work! The process was collaborative, and she made great recommendations. From the colors to the furniture selection, to the custom-designed built-in shevling and dry bar, we could not be more pleased.”

    – LENNY, WEST ORANGE, LLEWELLYN PARK, NJ

  • “We first worked with her on a media center. It was a small project but would have a huge impact on our living room. She delivered big-time! What could have been a utilitarian piece of furniture or cabinetry became a simple and elegant, clean and modern cabinet that perfectly fit our needs and taste. So, we then really put her to the test asking her to split a large room into two rooms for our tween and teen sons. It was a huge challenge - this space had been a garage, had some mechanical access in it and was not that big to begin with. Again, we were amazed by Martina's ingenious design. She came up with a simple, elegant plan that maximized the space and still left everything feeling like it was always meant to be that way. And, Martina's plan also took budget into account - making the plan as simple and budget-friendly as possible. Most of all, we have been very impressed with her professionalism - always on time, always communicating, asking questions, open to comments, warm, friendly and open to collaborating. I would recommend Martina and Lemon Grass Design to absolutely anyone for any project whatsoever.”

    – SELA, GLEN RIDGE, NJ

  • “Martina Servos is adroit at delivering "wow factor" through her designs. She is skilled at planning space layouts to fulfill user requirements and to existing structural constraints. She has a discerning eye, and I trust her taste wholeheartedly. Even though Martina has a signature style, which I would characterize as comfortably, colorfully modern, she is skilled at adapting her designs to the preferences and needs of each client. She is gifted at transforming space.”

    – TIEN, GLEN RIDGE, NJ

  • “I hired Lemon Grass design to redesign the kitchen in my home. Martina, was able to capture the warm urban style that I love, while still making it super functional for my family of five.”

    – BETH, MONTCLAIR, NJ

  • “I am a custom cabinet maker that has worked with Lemon Grass in the past and will continue to work with in the future. Martina at Lemon Grass is a joy to work with. Her designs are clean and fresh and in line with what is happening today. Her drawings are detailed and expressive and show exactly what is to be fabricated for the client. I recommend Martina for anyone who wants to bring fresh clean life into any home.”

    – RIVER’S EDGE WOODWORKS, PASSAIC, NJ

  • “In 2008, Lemon Grass Interior Architecture assisted us with a full first-floor renovation and second-floor bathroom redesign. We live in a nearly 100-year old house, and LGIA masterminded a design that bridged new, modernist concepts with historic home elements--the result was a very light, airy and modern space in which we very much enjoy living. Working with LGIA's Martina Servos was a pleasure and a true collaboration. Prior to hiring LGIA, we had interviewed several different designers because we knew we wanted to change the feel of our home without completely disregarding its history. Most of the designers we interviewed "told us" how they would decorate the space, and they went on to elaborate on their aspirations for book and television deals. Ms. Servos, on the other hand, focused on our likes and dislikes from the get-go, and never injected her personality or "reputation" into our conversations. Her focused approach was a breath of fresh air--not only is she a skilled architect and designer, but she is also a gifted listener! Rather than tell us what we should do, Ms. Servos asked us what we were looking for and appreciated in design, and from there she set about forming a master plan that incorporated our preferences and her creative suggestions. We are extremely happy with the end result, and our friends and family are always complimenting us on the beautiful spaces she helped us create. We recommend Lemon Grass Interior Architecture and Martina Servos without hesitation.”

    – NILSON, MONTCLAIR, NJ

  • “Lemon Grass was amazing. Martina not only executed our vision but provided us with materials and designs we would have never thought of ourselves. Marina also worked well with our chosen contractor, coordinating his needs with the project design. Martina also hit a home run with color choice. She is very particular with colors and makes sure they work with the design. Finally, Martina listens to her clients. She successfully incorporated and expanded many of our ideas with her overall design plan.”

    – SUZETTE, MONTCLAIR, NJ

  • “Color! Color! Color! As a creative director, the quality of my space means so much to me. Martina's understanding of color and design to convey mood is the best I have ever seen. She has helped me make my home both comfortable and exciting. I trust her completely; and I work with her whenever I can. It is a better world because Martina is in it!”

    – DEYNA, BLOOMFIELD, NJ

  • “We hired Lemon Grass to undertake a complete kitchen remodeling, converting from a very small, old kitchen, expanding into unused area and creating a large, well-lit, highly functional and very beautiful kitchen. The new space is very comfortable for our large family, and the flow and layout of the kitchen allow for efficient cooking and cleaning. The kitchen is most notable for its unique color and style, and really is quite beautiful.”
