Every home we design begins by listening

From the Carolinas to New York & Connecticut

Our goal is to figure out who you are and how you truly live in your space. Here, our clients share what it was like to work with Jess and the JDI team, from the first design conversation to the grand reveal.

When I started to think about redecorating my master bedroom suite, I was at a loss. I knew the look I wanted, but had no idea how to bring it to reality, I could “see” it but I couldn’t explain it. But after speaking with me for just a short amount of time, Jess really seemed to understand what I was trying to say. And it certainly shows in the finished product. From the rug to the style of bed to the window treatments, she really brought my style to life. I couldn’t be happier!

We count ourselves very lucky to have found Jess Dauray and Jessica Dauray Interiors as we first began talking with our contractor before our house was even built. Jess and her team pointed out improvements we could make to certain areas of the blueprints themselves, and also worked with us from the ground up to find the best materials possible within our budget. She was amazing at taking our preferences and our existing style and using them to create something totally different and unique, yet something which was definitely us.

I have worked with designers while building and renovating several homes over the years. Jessica Dauray Interiors has been, by far, the most creative and professional. Sydney Blanks and Jess Dauray are top-notch. They are efficient and organized in regard to every design aspect, including design plans, pricing (depending on your needs) and stellar installation. While they are professional and business-minded, they are also warm and engaging. I hope to work with them on many projects in the future. I would never think of going anywhere else.

Jess and her crew are amazing. They designed our Asheville residence and we couldn’t be happier. We worked with her long distance and felt extremely secure knowing she was on the job and acting as our on-site advocate. Our new home is perfect, she listened to what we wanted, and far exceeded our expectations. She took care of every detail down to the stocking the fridge with essentials in anticipation of our arrival. Full service all the way. I can’t wait to get her involved on our next project.

Jessica Dauray had remodeled a friend’s house here in Rye. When I decided to remodel, I hired Jess and her team. It was so much easier than buying locally. I spoke with the designers by conference call, and Jess came here to walk through my house and get a feel for how the space flowed from room to room. Then I traveled to the High Point Furniture Market and did a “whirlwind tour” with the team. I did everything from sit on sofas to pick out lamps. When it was time for the installation, Jess came back to Rye and supervised the installation of the furniture, lamps, and accessories. Even with all of this, it was still much less expensive than purchasing locally. And their recommendations and supervision were top-notch.

Jess Dauray had been our designer for our house in New Canaan, Connecticut 10 years ago. When it came time for a redesign of our interior, of course we looked around for Jess, then discovered that she had moved to North Carolina. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that she was happy to work with us by phone, email, zoom and in person to redecorate our house. She sourced all of the furniture and draperies in North Carolina, but used local Connecticut contractors for the installation itself. Not only did this cut costs, it also ensured prompt and responsive installers. And we were pleasantly surprised at the reasonable cost yet high quality of the North Carolina-manufactured furniture she found for us.

Elegant, yet comfortable

Shared by our clients

…until Jess came along, I was not feeling comfortable with the results. When all was done, I really felt that she pinpointed our likes and dislikes and with her help we were quite happy and comfortable. I cannot say enough good things about Jess and her work.

I had an exceptional experience with Jessica. She has a unique talent to visualize what I want and bring it to life. She interprets my inspiration and makes it happen into my space. The rooms are now beautiful, harmonic, functional, and fit my needs. She takes care of everything, managing the design, orders and installation quickly and effortlessly for me.

A note from Jess

Stylish & practical

Jess Dauray, Principal · Jessica Dauray Interiors

“Our design process begins with a detailed conversation. Our goal is to figure out who you are and how you truly live in your space. Getting to know the way you plan to live, whether you are embarking on new construction or remodeling a kitchen or bath, allows us to take a holistic approach to design. We believe interiors need to be both stylish and practical.”
