Testimonials

I first met Eric over 20 years ago, when he decorated my mother’s home. I appreciated his talent and ability to find just the right pieces. Last year, we hired Eric and his team, to renovate our home. It was a big project and we needed someone that we could trust, and who would help guide us. Eric redesigned our kitchen, restored the hardwood floors, tiled other areas, painted and installed recessed lighting. He did a stunning job decorating our sunroom. Eric is currently working on decorating four more rooms which includes my husband’s office. We can’t wait to see the finished project.  Carol Herndon

Eric is THE best – he is an artist and his decorating gifts are magical. Most importantly he is an amazing man. I have worked with him for 20 years and The Decorator’s Edge is the ONLY place I would turn to for my decorating needs. We LOVE our recently transformed family room!  Terri Lowman

You cannot go wrong with either Eric or Diane! They are very talented at listening to what you want and then giving you exactly what you envisioned. I have used them on three major jobs and was extremely satisfied with the results. They go above and beyond to make certain that the meet your budget and deadline. They are a delightful couple to work with!   Mike Norelli

Diane is the best, she makes a house call and listened to what my wife and I wanted. She does an excellent job of identifying our taste in furniture and delivers recommendations at the visit. She showed us many options in a showroom and the time sent there helped use make the choices we are completely happy with. Diane showed us wall colors, flooring and furniture that turned our sun room into a before and after we have only seen on HGTV. Diane is great to work with her Decorator’s Edge team provides a crew that gets the job done correctly and on time.  Peggy Carter

The Decorator’s Edge is the first and only choice for our decorating needs. I love working with them because instead of overwhelming you with choices, they understand what’s available in the market, and how it fits with your ideas/decor. Several years back, they worked with us on a kitchen remodel, which included new granite counter tops, faucets and sinks, backsplash, and a new center island. We were extremely pleased with the professionalism of all the subcontractors and the final product was fabulous and within budget! So when it was time to redecorate my daughter’s bedroom, the choice was easy. After meeting with my daughter to discuss her ideas, wish list, and our budget, Eric transformed the bedroom into a beautiful sophisticated oasis. We were particularly excited about how he transformed her plain white-washed bed into a brand new antique silver leaf piece. Her room looks like a picture in a magazine. As before, Eric did an incredible job and elevated her ideas to the next level. I can’t wait to use them for my master bath remodel!  Shelly Wilson

This is our third time working with Eric at The Decorator’s Edge. He is very thorough and I trust him with everything he suggests. I absolutely loved everything he did for us. He does everything from my bathroom to my kitchen to my plantation shutters to my bedding.  Yevette Comstock

We have used Eric several times in many scopes of decorating. He always surpasses our expectations and provides a certain WOW factor that no one can duplicate. Fabulous as always!  304nest

Eric and Diane , along with their team , are truly amazing! They have that special touch to really listen to what the customer wants and put it all together! Their work will leave you breathless! Truly talented and amazing folks!  duffer2

I was in search of some high quality carpet and I received excellent help from The Decorator’s Edge. They have a really great brand and selection. I found the New Zealand wood that I had been looking for. They had good prices and a fantastic show room. The show room was nicely displayed with wide open spaces, where you could work individually or get help from a professional. It was very modern and clean and had a lovely display.

For one of my projects I was trying to get carpet on our stairway that was not a solid step (the original carpet had been cut in) and the way it was installed was very important to giving it a nice edge look. The installation process was excellent with great attention to detail. Overall, I was very impressed.  Judy Davis

Eric and Diane Lackey of The Decorator’s Edge are the best! Their professionalism and decorating knowledge is unsurpassed. It is amazing what they can do. They have been my lifesaver in many instances and have always gone above and beyond. They never fail to meet their deadlines and are reasonably priced. The quality of their work is impeccable. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a decorator. You will not be disappointed!  jshampton

My husband and I have worked with Eric Lackey of Decorator’s Edge since the 1980’s. He has helped decorate 3 homes. He recently helped us with porcelain tile in our kitchen, luxury vinyl tile in our great room and wallpaper in our bathrooms. Eric has really good ideas and a great memory as to what is in your home and what will blend with your decor. You can depend on his employees to show up when expected and to make it right if anything is not to your satisfaction. Eric is not pushy and he tries to make you happy with what you and he pick out. He listens to your ideas also. I have enjoyed working with Eric.  nananora

Everyone at Decorators Edge in Thomasville, NC has been terrific. My kitchen remodel was more than I expected and I hired them again for another job, our media room, which is amazing! dlackey72

The Decorator’s Edge assisted in remodeling my beach home. They assisted in selecting flooring, tile, and hardware and had all materials shipped directly to my beach home. Eric Lackey is truly professional and his knowledge in ideas to make a home outstanding is exceptional. I highly recommend his expertise.  vlembry

I never thought I would use a decorator and was very intimidated by the process. Diane Lackey, from The Decorator’s Edge, came to the house the day I bought it and made me feel at ease. She helped me in deciding new colors and carpet, more furniture, artwork, bed covers and window treatments! After the first meeting, Diane understood me and what I liked and didn’t like. It was amazing how her choices all blended together and were always just what I liked and, amazingly, was always within my budget. It was great working with Diane and she will always be a part of my house, for I always think of her when looking around at all the beautiful items she picked out for me. Everyone in the store and everyone who did work at my house were friendly, professional and a pleasure to work with.

The Decorator’s Edge is great for any budget!  auntmorr

Eric is very detailed oriented and has an excellent memory. He always remembered everything we talked about, whether he wrote it down or not. Just from glancing around a room, Eric is able to make a mental note of everything and never misses a detail.

The last project that I completed with The Decorator’s Edge was my bathroom and master bedroom. We completely redid both rooms and sat down and picked out everything from the tile to the furniture. The work was phenomenal from delivery to installation. I enjoy working with such a professional organization and have now completed several projects with them. I highly recommend hiring Eric and Diane for your next project!  Terri Gulledge

Diane completely remodeled our outdated 23 year old dining room.
I called her for this 2nd project since the year before she remodeled the master bedroom to perfection! She came out to measure and within a short time had pictures of furniture,
wall color, rug, wallpaper, drapery, and accessories of her vision for our approval. It was
so beautiful we couldn’t wait to get started. She lined up everything, scheduled right away,
and all of her team was easy to work with. Within weeks our dining room was finished and Gorgeous!!  julietx2410

Eric is absolutely amazing! He was wonderful to work with and is extremely talented. We are very pleased with everything Eric pulled together. We will definitely use again without a doubt.  rovercash


Eric Lackey took my almost 50 year old home and modernized it without compromising the traditional style of the home. My home is warm and inviting and my friends refer to my home as a showcase for how an older home should be brought up to today’s standards without compromising the beauty of an older home. I only trust Decorator’s Edge for all of my decorating needs.  Eric is affordable and has great taste.  From the remodeling of my bathroom to my kitchen, I couldn’t be happier.  Eric stands behind his work and will make any corrections that may be necessary.  He is very professional.  jacksomers11

As a repeat customer of The Decorator’s Edge, I recommend their work with my highest approval. The quality of service and diligence to detail I have experienced has proven their ability to make any space look wonderful. From commercial office space to two complete home designs, The Decorator’s Edge has been nothing but a pleasure to work with and has rightfully earned my complete trust in their leadership ranging from collaboration of structural design to every detailed decision during construction ultimately finishing the homes turn key with carpet/rugs, furniture, and accessories. The Decorator’s Edge has a unique ability to use current items and furniture while still enhancing the space’s look through wall color, additional accessories, and overall design and placement. With competitive pricing corollary with excellent service and knowledge that will exceed your expectations, I would offer my recommendation on behalf of The Decorator’s Edge for anyone seeking leadership from remodeling services to complete construction projects.  Donna Tucker

We have enjoyed a professional relationship with Decorator’s Edge for almost 15 years both in our home, our son’s homes, and my husband’s office. Their work and skills are second to none! They finish every task in a timely manner and exude wonderful customer service!  berly7456

Eric Lackey and The Decorator’s Edge have been my number one choice for design expertise for all of my remodeling and decorating projects. First of all I love all of his design elements including furniture, accessories, rugs, etc. In addition, he helped me to totally remodel my kitchen and great room recently and we love it!!  Kathy Hicks

We have used the Decorator’s Edge for 3 houses and an addition. They did a great job on all projects. We plan to relocate soon and will hire them again.  stewartv26

We started building a new home about 10 years ago and used Eric at Decorator’s Edge
along with his wife, Diane as our decorators. We bought new furniture, drapes, carpet, rugs, lamps …….everything and couldn’t be happier. They were absolutely fabulous. They understood our likes and didn’t try to push anything that was not in our taste range or our price range. I can not say enough good things about them and their talent. They made it easy and definitely enjoyable. Could not have done it woithout them.
We also recommended them to a friend who had used at least two other decorators and had been very unhappy. They were also extremely pleased with the corrective work that Eric and Diane had to do.
Would highly recommend them.
While I am giving a month and a year on the info below…..our project was over several months ….due to the contractor …not the decorator.  Linda Perez

My family and extended family have worked with Eric and Diane Lackey for many years. Not only do you get beautiful pieces of art, furniture, and lovely accessories….you get their expertise in all areas of decorating.
They treat their customers with respect and make them feel at home when visiting their gorgeous showroom.
I love shopping at The Decorators Edge.  camiller20

Diane and Eric are personable, organized, talented, and professional. My relationship with them goes back 27 years and we’ve worked on projects ranging from building and furnishing a new house; updating that house some years later; restoring a historic home 6 years ago; and most recently choosing colors and fabrics; furniture; and shutters and blinds for a vacation home. They have the talent and the resources to provide turn-key/from scratch/whole house service, yet they are also willing to help you with small projects.

In each instance they have made the project fun, with timely results and lasting enjoyment of the new spaces. They can accommodate a wide range of tastes. I am probably more traditional than most people these days but they have the talent to adjust to a variety of expectations. I highly recommend The Decorator’s Edge!
