It was a pleasure to work with Forbes + Master. From very engaging consultations to watching the design process unfold, we were really impressed by their creative minds, attention to detail, level of professionalism, and ability to capture and execute our vision and style so perfectly. Tavia and Monet did an amazing job with our home and it was well worth the investment and the wait. We highly recommend their services and we look forward to working with them on future projects.

Forbes Masters truly delivers! These ladies were professional, thorough, flexible, and precise! This was my first larger scale design project, but upon meeting them I was immediately put at ease. They were able to artistically execute spaces that reflected my style perfectly! Tavia and Monet are true gems in this industry, and I highly recommend their services.....I’m looking forward to working with them on future designs.

I have used other design firms in the past but Forbes Masters is the only firm I would use again and would refer to others to use. FM are professional, creative, fun to work with and finished my project on time and within budget. My project involved repurposing items that I already had and they were masterful at figuring out how to make many of our existing pieces come to life in our new space. They also introduced some custom pieces to compliment my new space. Lastly, my husband who is hard to impress loved the “reveal” after install....he said he felt like he was in a HGTV episode.

I am so glad I worked with Forbes Masters. I'd never decorated anything in my life but I knew that after purchasing a home, I wanted to decorate but I didn't know where to start. With very little initial input from me, they were able to ask the right question to get the answers they needed to design the perfect home for me and they did just that! I was blown away by the results as they created a home beautiful beyond my wildest dreams.

Named to Architectural Digest’s New American Voices list in 2020, Monet Masters and Tavia Forbes have blazed a trail across Atlanta’s fast-growing design scene ever since. The duo’s quirky, eclectic style has developed and refined over the past few years, ensuring they’re still ones to watch.

Words cannot begin to accurately or thoroughly describe the exceptional experience we had hiring and working with these creative, inspiring, and downright fantastic women!
They have a great sense of style for what looks good (but is also functional and practical). Before working with Forbes Masters our space had no personality or warmth. We knew we made the right choice hiring them during the consultation but we were hooked when they presented the mood board and renderings to us. They listened to all of our needs and desires and executed our dream space flawlessly. Not only did they deliver what we asked for and then some but they also helped us break out of our comfort zone! They were able to take my fiance and I's mixed styles and mesh them into something completely stunning! They always gave us multiple choices and price ranges for things so we could make sure it fit our budget. Every single dollar spent was well worth it. We are so in love with our new entertaining space we can't stop smiling. We are so thankful and appreciative for the work that they did. We will definitely be hiring them again in the future!

I met Monet and Tavia at an interior design conference in 2018 and I was captivated by their work then. Fast-forward to 2021, when I purchased my 4-story townhome, I purchased it knowing that I would ultimately have them design it. I cannot underestimate the expertise these two women bring to the table. In a world saturated with duplication and redundancy, they bring curated, exclusive designs that are nothing like you will find on the internet. They are second to none.
Tavia and Monet are consummate professionals in every sense. This was my first experience working with interior designers and they far exceeded any expectations I had coming into the process. From our initial meeting, they were quite adept at understanding the look and feel I wanted to achieve within my space and the end result continues to wow me daily. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone considering any interior design project, whether small or large scale, and cannot wait to enlist their services for my next project!

Such a creative design and talented design team. Both ladies are professional, courteous and will listen to any ideas and elements you want to incorporate yet also bring their unique touch and ideas that take your project over the top.

We chose Forbes Masters after reading reviews about their excellent service and reviewing their portfolio. As an international client having the right design partner was really important for us as we needed a Company that could help us navigate the complexities of an international job. We have found Forbes Masters to be responsive, flexible, creative and an absolute pleasure to work with. Every project comes with its delay and challenges and Forbes Masters have been great partners in working through the natural curves that projects throw your way. We would recommend them for your project, you won't be disappointed.

Tavia and Monet are absolutely the best in the business! Their creativity, work ethic, professionalism and passion are simply unmatched. It's not easy to design for a household of three women (aged 14-60) who have very different styles and taste, but Tavia and Monet made it look easy and always stayed within budget. They have designed seven rooms in our house, and will be completing a few more by the end of the year. We are so pleased with their work, we can't say enough about them. If you're considering an interior design service, don't hesitate to reach out to them. It was the best decision we made since buying our house!

For the past 3 years, my family and I have been enjoying our beautiful home designed by this fantastic duo.
Still to this day, we get so many wonderful compliments on the design! From the their custom-wallpaper (go to Mitchell Black y'all) to the precise understanding of how space is used (I'll forever be grateful for the rock-climbing wall installed in the play room - a fun space for my kids and I to get lit!), every nook and cranny and curated with an eye for a chic aesthetic complemented by an organic flow and unique designs.
I continue to be inspired by the beauty of my home and was so impressed by their vision and the work ethic it took to bring it all together. Yes, years later we feel like we're in our little heaven on earth. Looking forward to working with Forbes Masters again!

This is an incredibly creative duo that will blow you away. I reached out to Forbes Masters to design and furnish a three bedroom model apartment in Orlando, FL. Their take on the model was completely fresh and bold. So much texture and drama, but still neutral enough to appeal to the masses.
Their attention to detail was so special down to the arrangement of the bed pillows and the artwork that was so unexpected and just worked so well! I had been following their work for a bit and was so excited to hear they were willing to work with our tight budget and travel to us.
You will not be disappointed, you will be inspired, you will be surprised and you will be more than pleased. I hope to work with the team again and would recommend them to anyone seriously looking to bring their space to the next level!

Subsequent to working with Forbes + Masters, I have recommended the firm to a number of friends and family and similarly, I'll recommend them to you!
Monet and Tavia excel at implementing creative and unique ideas in living spaces that are stunning, but still feel like home. I really appreciate their knack for taking a concept (even something kind of ethereal and vague) and bringing it to life. Monet and Tavia know how to just make things WORK. As someone who loves design, but has a very hard time actually getting things done, I was really appreciative of their knowledge and judgment. I trusted them to make a number of decisions that I otherwise would not have made, and I'm glad I did. Although we had some initial hiccups around timelines and communications, I was ultimately very pleased with how they responded to the constructive criticism and finished the project with grace, taking our concerns into consideration. To me, that is the true sign of a professional. They also have good professional relationships, which allows them to execute complicated projects well and efficiently. Monet and Tavia's strong negotiation skills were also helpful when dealing with vendors and contractors.
In sum, I absolutely adore the spaces they created for us. They did a wonderful job of capturing our personalities and our aesthetics. I'd recommend Forbes + Masters to anyone who is looking for thoughtful, unique, and exciting design that they'll be eager to show off...or just sit back and enjoy.
