"If you are looking for someone to assist you in designing your living space or in displaying your art, you can’t do much better than to engage Valentina Spalten to guide you. Valentina has an incredible eye. She will give you a range of suggestions to arrange your furniture or your art so that it shows itself at its most advantageous in ways that you probably would not have considered on your own. She listens closely to your concerns, tastes and priorities and will always leave the final decision to you. On a personal level, Valentina is always positive, supportive, and fun to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough!"

"Before working with Valentina, we had lived in our apartment for three years with empty walls, because we were too daunted by the task of finding the "right" art and making decisions. Valentina helped us find art pieces that totally transformed the feel of our home and stayed within our budget. Some of the pieces normally would not have caught our eyes, but once we hung them up it proved to be the perfect choice. She found places for our existing artwork, and made a great gallery wall using frames that we already owned. We couldn't stop marveling at how much of a difference having art and frames up made in the feel of our home! Working with her led us to become more aware of what we truly liked, gave us inspirations, and empowered us to look for some of the art ourselves (while running the ideas by her for feedback). In that sense, working with Valentina has been a transformative experience for both our home and ourselves. Thank you so much to Valentina for making this possible–we are so happy and glad to work with her!"

"Valentina has been a total pleasure to work with. My partner and I just bought a pre-war apartment in New York City and were daunted by all the wall space and how to fill it up! Valentina is meticulous and has a great eye (and very good taste). We were impressed by her background and professional experience with very esteemed galleries and museums. We ended up hiring her to help us curate, frame, arrange, and hang a couple dozen artworks from our personal collections (including those of well-known artists from our family and friend circles). She has also been very helpful with general interior design and styling. A lovely person who goes beyond expectations – we highly recommend Valentina!"

"I would say I have a pretty good eye for functionality and design, but when it came to art I felt paralyzed. I knew I was drawn to things but I felt like I didn't know what I was doing or that I was hanging it "wrong". Valentina has helped me hang several pieces in our home and it was amazing how even a simple shift over a few inches made all the difference. She also helped my husband and I source a thrifted original painting for our living room. My husband came home and when he saw it, he just stared and said, "I honestly never thought we would be able to afford a piece of art like this in our home. It’s one of the best things we have ever bought for it." If you are simply stuck with where to go next with art, or looking for help finding something specific, Valentina will make it the most painless and joyful process."

"It was a pleasure working with Valentina. She has an excellent eye for art, and she is also incredibly professional, responsive, and reliable. The entire process felt effortless and enjoyable. When I first set out to add a few pieces to my apartment, I never expected to end up with a beautiful, cohesive collection that truly made my space feel like home, exactly as Valentina promised!"
