We have worked with Grania twice now-first when we bought our current home 4 years ago, where she advised and helped us figure out our style and needs, and got them filled beautifully! Now, 4 years later, we tackled our primary suite with her keen and professional guidance and help acquiring all items. We are absolutely thrilled with her work! She is so fun and easy to work with, and I have recommended her to others needing an expert.Read More

She is easy to communicate with and responsive to questions and requests. She provides multiple alternatives to choose from and can pivot to accommodate changes that occur mid-project.Read More
I moved into my home 24 years ago and I have never felt like it was complete as far as design/decor. After many years of trying to get it right I finally realized that I needed help. Grania was able to take my boring and haphazard decor and turn my living spaces (dining/family/sitting) and bedroom into cohesive and beautiful rooms that I can enjoy fully. For once I feel like my home is MY home and it looks amazing! I asked Grania at the beginning to hold my hand throughout the process and she did just that. She was efficient and made every attempt to stay within my somewhat ill defined budget. The process was relatively smooth with only minor hiccups for which she also was able to calm my stress by listening to my concerns and helping to resolve any issues. Overall, I would highly recommend Grania.Read More
You need Grania's help on whatever project you're doing. Grania would always go above and beyond with any project I needed. She genuinely cared about her work and gave me the best service for any job. I've been left in the dark by so many designers and contractors but I've never been left in the dark with Grania.Read More
We met grania prior to a trip to Ireland, and as a result we had the opportunity to visit some of her showcases, specifically the extensive and impressive bar at the prestigious Merrion Hotel. Upon our return we engaged with Grania for some residential projects which require construction and design work. Grania was always nimble with design recommendations, pivoting to provide alternate solutions to existing architectural challenges, and worked to understand our tastes and made proposals that were better than we could have imagined. Unfortunately due to the economy our financial posture has changed and we have had to put the brakes on our project entirely for the moment, however we fully expect to engage with Grania in the near future and maintain a great relationship and are getting sneak previews to the most jaw dropping spaces. It is clear to us that Grania has a discerning eye but also only selects only the finest of craftspeople to realize a successful vision. With Grania, you will have form, function and design delivered unparalleled. Not to mention, she’s funny, kind and smart - you cannot go wrong here.Read More

The end result is phenomenal but the best thing about Grania is she makes things happen on a timeline that is hard to believe. Her experience guarantees the client's vision is brought to fruition. Highly recommend!Read More
Grania is an artist. I have seen her work in Ireland where her creative use of color, indigenous art, and light brilliantly transformed a tired uninteresting hotel bar into a “must see” when visiting Dublin. After seeing her work at houses in both Arrowhead and Los Ángeles, I knew she was the person to help us decorate our new home in the South Bay. She can look at an empty room and her eyes light up as she sees potential beyond my imagination. She is not only a brilliant designer, but also a kind and caring person who takes the time to understand her clients and both their tastes and pocketbook. You will love her work and will likely end up also loving her. It is impossible not to!Read More

We are proud to recommend her to our friends and family.Read More
Grania is extremely knowledgable when it comes to design, her keen sense of space and placement is why we chose her for our remodel. My partner and I enjoy traveling the world, and we usually come home with far too many momentos from our adventures! It wasn't long before we became overwhelmed, and needed some direction on how to make sense of our home, whilst incorporating all of our beloved treasures. From her first visit, Grania brought so many fantastic ideas to the table. She led us with great confidence and helped us decide upon exactly what changes to make, guiding us every step of the way and helped us to view our home from a brand new perspective. We were initially reluctant to make any major changes, but Grania's holistic approach made so much sense that we were excited to take the leap and make some big decisions that had an incredible impact on our living spaces. We couldn't have imagined such a personal and welcoming space to entertain guests and family. We loved all of her furniture suggestions, and her paint selections have wonderfully complimented our artwork. We love our remodel and we truly couldn't have done it without Grania.Read More
My husband and I live in the mountains and we wanted our living room to be updated and get away from the "lodge" look but still look great with existing kitchen, dining room and foyer. We wanted something more modern yet still appropriate for the mountains. We have a beautiful view of Lake Arrowhead and we wanted to bring in the blue of the lake as well as complement the piece of art over the fireplace. Grania immediately understood what we wanted and was able to bring us color samples, furniture ideas, wall and floor coverings that we could choose from within 5 days! She was right there to guide us and advise us as to all aspects of the re-design. The living room is exactly how we pictured it in my head and looks fabulous! We started the project in mid-July and was finished September 2022. Even with delays related to Covid and supply chain challenges with manufacturers, it was finished in a timely manner!Read More
Grania has for many years styled our beautiful home. Her first project over Ten year ago was to re-model our house, project managing every aspect of the re-design and decorating. The result was impeccable, greater use of all space and beautiful furniture, flooring and wall covering througout. Her attention to detail, her capacity to listen and understand what we wanted to achieve was simply wonderful. She has excellent taste and resources. She continues to know where to find the right products and materials, a consummate professional. A recent project in September 2022 introduced new floor coverings, and re upholstering seating and colours in our large kitchen. The project resulted in a very new look, beatiful colours and textures in our large hall area, such a welcome into our home. Again bringing light and innovation. I look forward to continuing to work with her on many more projects, as she has done over the past number of years. Her presence in our home brought happiness, style and comfort.Read More

She helped select flooring, wall covering, furniture, etc. to make these areas more functional and attractive. The project is in progress, but she has been a pleasure to work with and an effective project manager in the face of many odds and hospital regulations.

I have hired Grania Murray, ASID for the ground up construction of a retreat resort. The project is not yet completed, but already Grania and I are on the same page, synchronistic, about the big picture and the small details. Her insights and suggestions as to the architectural design are also very helpful. Her keen eye and instinct are strong and accurate. She is professional respectful, on time for meetings, works well with my other team members (contractor, architect, landscape architect), in fact we all have lunch together. She is mindful of the budget, suggesting where it's appropriate to be thrifty, and where/when to spend extra. I am very happy with my decision to bring her on board as part of my team, and would highly recommend Grania.Read More
I have worked with Grania on several large and small projects in Ireland. She worked with her clients to design custom made soft furnishings that we manufactured to her specifications.

I've had the greatest pleasure living in many homes that Grania has designed. One of those was our family villa in France which was the most amazing place. She renovated it entirely and we have enjoyed many years there, vacationing and entertaining friends and family. The Sanctuary it provides in our busy lives is outstanding. The homes she also created for our family to live in The US and Ireland are outstanding spaces and have been photographed for National magazines. She always makes the whole process appear so effortless. She's a true professional who cares about her clients.Read More
