I had such a positive experience working with Bona Gjoni Design Company. Before we met, I was honestly very stressed and overwhelmed—I didn’t really know my own style or where to begin, and my space just wasn’t working for me functionally.
In just one hour (which is incredibly hard to find!), Bona was able to completely shift my perspective. She quickly understood my needs, helped me define a style that actually feels like me, and gave practical, thoughtful suggestions to make my home more functional and comfortable.
What really stood out was how efficient and insightful she was in such a short amount of time. She didn’t just focus on aesthetics—she made sure everything would work for my day-to-day life, which made a huge difference.
I left the session feeling relieved, confident, and excited instead of stressed. I’m so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend Bona Gjoni Design Company to anyone—especially if you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed and need clear, expert guidance quickly.

Bona did an amazing job staging my condo for the open house. She’s at the right price point and was able to accommodate my timeline.
I will absolutely work with her again in the future!

Bona did a great job staging my one bedroom condo that I am putting on the market for sale. Her staging definitely made the space look larger and allowed for somebody to envision of how they could lay things out. Her decor and furniture choices were awesome and complemented the flooring and cabinets in the place. Overall, a very good experience and would highly recommend her!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I make it a point to work within the clients' budget and am very transparent with what can be accomplished within a specific budget. I offer fair design rates while providing my clients with high end designer looks ; )
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The Client and I schedule a one hour walk and talk consultation. During that hour, I am better to get a sense of the Clients' personal style and their current design needs. It also allows both the Client and myself to better gauge if we would both be a good match in working together.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have received my second degree in Merchandising with led me to experience in Big box Companies such as Macy's, Zara and more. I was able to take those merchandising skills to a local DC design studio and it was all history from there!
