Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Do more with less! I specialize in design layout and interiors (especially small spaces) and believe that you do not need to spend a fortune to get a result that looks incredible. If you're looking to transform your space with less - I am your pro. I will also get my hands dirty and am hands on in all my projects from painting, to furniture assembly, and picture/art installation. I come with my tool belt. Design philosophy: Spaces matter. I work with the design philosophy that nostalgia, simplicity, creative chaos, and thoughtful organization can exist peacefully together. Simplifying our spaces and surrounding ourselves with the items we love provides us clarity, peace, and the ability to find what really matters. Spaces need design. We should not have to dramatically alter our habits to stay organized. Organized spaces are maintainable when they are designed to reflect how we actually live or work. This requires thoughtful planning and design. Spaces should be lived in. It's only natural (and fun!) for our spaces to get messy - after all, it's almost impossible for our lives to resemble curated Instagram photos all of the time. At the end of the day, however, organized spaces will only be sustainable if every item has its rightful place to return to. -Clara

Clara is a true delight to work with! She has helped me reimagine two apartments I’ve lived in, and both times I was amazed at the results. She has a quick and clear eye for how a space should flow, and I’ve been consistently amazed at how her tweaks of layout, decor, even wall color can have such a dramatically positive effect not just on the beauty of my home, but also on how I happy feel in it. Her level of organization, both in terms of the details of my projects, and also in terms of helping me pare down and organize the clutter in my life have been invaluable. She has a funny and easy way about her, and I found she really took the time to get to know how I wanted to live in my space and what my taste is. I can’t thank her enough, and I highly recommend her!

Clara and Create the Room came to the rescue! Clara’s creativity helped my space sing! We pulled up a rug, moved furniture, edited plants, got rid of things and she picked out my new, gorgeous and affordable couch! She had clear vision from the start and well communicated her ideas. I felt so supported by her as she took all of my hopes and wants in and turned them Into something really beautiful and serene in my home. She created systems for organization that Im still using a year later. Clara has a great eye for design and worked so well with me through my cloud of ideas (and lack of ideas) and gently coaxed me into bolder, more joyful choices than I would have made on my own and I’m so grateful for them! New space feels like a new start! It’s so invigorating. The work is more than home design, it’s giving yourself a clean slate. Treat yourself to some sessions w Clara. I highly recommend it!!

Clara has an amazing eye and is incredibly patient. Her enthusiasm for the project turned me from feeling overwhelmed about my studio space to excited. All of her instincts rang true, and afterwards her solutions seemed obvious but I had been unable to see them before. She is also a warm, sweet and funny person. Her capacity to turn a space from stressful, disorganized and unattractive to calming, organized and aesthetically beautiful is truly inspiring!

I am so pleased that I hired Clara from Create the Room to help me design, organize and renovate a studio apartment for short-term rental. She took a blank canvas with some pretty significant issues (like a broken toilet, very very dirty bathtub, difficult lighting) and turned the studio into a bright, cheerful, airy, apartment that always rents immediately. Her style is simple and light, but adds many great flourishes and small touches that light up a room and give it a ton of character. She's also very handy and can hang lights, replace fixtures, and assemble just about any kind of furniture. What I liked best about working with Clara, though, is that while she had a very clear vision of her own, she is extremely collaborative and worked really nicely with the vision that I had, pushing slightly when she saw it differently but always respecting my choices. The collaborative nature of her work and her abilities as a coach made the end result all the better. I'm so grateful for her services!
