“Creative, professional, and proactive.”
Emma has been creative, professional and proactive through every step of designing our new home! Despite the limitations and challenges of our project, Emma has given our new home the perfect look and feel for our family! As we prepared to move from the west coast, Emma scheduled phone calls, sent fabric samples and even set up a video chat as she walked through our new home. Emma will be my first call whenever we next take up a project!

“Incredibly organized and responsive.”
I could go on and on about how much I loved working with Emma. She has great taste and quickly understood the look and feeling that we were hoping to achieve in our home. She is incredibly organized and responsive. We will continue to turn to Emma for all of our design needs, both big and small.

“Design met our aesthetic and lifestyle.”
Working with Emma from Parker & Parker was a great experience. From start to finish, she was responsive, organized, and ensured the design met both our design aesthetic and lifestyle (with 3 little ones!). She kept us on track both from a timeline and budget perspective. Our living spaces our now truly livable - both beautiful and usable. Emma helped us transform our house into our home!

“A pleasure to work with.”
Emma is the absolute best! We moved cross country to Darien and we were very overwhelmed but Emma was not! She was so organized, stayed within the budget we had set and we have loved everything she has done! She has such a cool sense of style, is a pleasure to work with, and has become a really good friend. I also appreciated that she worked with the furniture and other things we already had, including antiques. I get so excited anytime Emma helps us with a new project. She's incredible at what she does!

“A designer/client love at first sight.”
I could not recommend Parker & Parker any more highly! I reached out to them for help finishing off a dining room and Emma’s response time was so quick and the consultation was scheduled for the following week. I shared a video of the space prior to our meeting and was blown away when Emma brought a sample to the consultation that was absolutely perfect for the room. It was the designer/client equivalent of love at first sight. I immediately saw her talent and knew right then that she was the exact match for me.
Parker & Parker is now helping me with some large-scale renovations including a two-room conversion, hallway renovation and powder room updates. They understand how much I want the house and rooms to flow between one another, both in layout and in design and décor, and they truly have a talent for seeing the whole picture. Mine is an older, quirkier house but they have suggested some amazing and creative ideas that are beyond exciting. And they are so professional and organized. Emma always offers multiple appointment options, takes me on site to the tile or carpet store if I want to go, or hand delivers wallpaper samples to my door. It has been an absolute treat to work with them and I just feel pure excitement and joy for my end result.

“Great at reading style.”
Parker & Parker Design is an incredible company. I worked directly with Emma who was professional, organized and brought me so many wonderful ideas. She is great at reading my style and giving me a selection of options to choose from (saved me a lot of time!). She also made sure everything was on time. Emma helped up with our whole house, from paint colors to art work to organizing our bookshelves! I will continue to use Emma and Parker & Parker Design for any future projects!

“Exceeded our expectations.”
Emma is the whole package - she has an amazing sense of style and is incredibly organized. She created the most beautiful vision boards to help us visualize all the changes and new furniture, and every piece she pulled exceeded our expectations. She is fast and efficient and really thinks about all the details that make a space beautiful. We are so grateful for her help!

“A complete transformation.”
I have had such an amazing experience working with Emma from Parker & Parker design. Emma completely transformed our new house from dark and dreary to bright and homey. From the complete makeover of key rooms in our house, to using existing furniture and adding accents to other rooms, her amazing attention to detail, responsiveness and collaboration were a pleasure to work with. Emma presented us with ideas and solutions for both high and low budget ranges, gave us her advice and opinions, and was entirely open to continuing to push to find the perfect piece, paint color, fixture, etc. if we needed more options. Almost every person who walks into my house raves at the transformation and I credit it all to Emma. And most importantly, Emma is a pleasure to work with - professional, responsive, collaborative and genuine. I look forward to continuing to work with Emma on all of our design needs.

“Exceptionally organized.”
I am a local Darien builder with 35 + yrs of experience and working with Emma Parker Stroop has been a pleasure. She is exceptionally organized and has a very good sense of how design aspects interact and come together.
