I have worked with Archetype Interiors on a number of projects over the past year and I have been extremely happy with the results. Juanita and her team of installers have yet to disappoint. They are always efficient, creative, and up for any task. The tight deadlines we give them have been challenging but they have excelled at every opportunity. I would strongly recommend using them for all interior design work, but have found them to be especially good at window treatments, upholstery and other soft decor items.
