Great Spaces Inc. is a design-led kitchen and bath business in Acton run by its owner, Dawn Willis. A 2022 wickedlocal.com article quoted her saying she will work with any budget, and a second 2022 piece on the same site said the business specializes in improving kitchens, bathrooms, mud rooms, offices and more. One recent customer described a retail showroom that offers consulting on design and remodeling. A 2026 customer said Dawn ordered samples from different brands to coordinate four kitchen light fixtures without them looking matched from one set. A 2024 customer said they had ordered cabinets from Great Space Inc. three years earlier, paused the project over supply chain trouble, and restarted it, after which the kitchen looked fantastic. A 2022 customer said Dawn's space planning offered several options for a master bathroom with limited space, and that she made the customer's inspiration tile the center of an age-in-place design. In a 2017 review, a customer said Great Spaces designed and remodeled their kitchen and two baths in a Craftsman/Deck house, and the contractor also built decks and replaced trim. A 2016 customer credited Dawn Willis's CAD work with helping them picture the floor plan of a remodeled kitchen. A 2022 customer gave two stars, calling the design decent but saying the company was argumentative with any critique and recommended an unreliable contractor they had to chase. A 2016 customer said their bathroom project ran longer than expected and the price came in a bit higher than the original scope.

“It had been at least 25 years since this Carlisle kitchen had seen a kitchen remodel update. We joined forces with Great Spaces in Acton, MA to incorporate a multiple discipline design with British inspiration”
Wonderful retail showroom, which offers consulting on design and remodeling. Oh, and they participated in the Town of Acton's "United by Soccer" storefront decorating contest.
Dawn and her team were so helpful to me coordinating a recent lighting project for my kitchen. I wanted the 4 pieces of lighting in my kitchen coordinated without seeming matchy matchy from the same set, but had no idea where to start to find consistent canopies or finishes. Dawn was SO helpful bouncing ideas off of and ordering various samples from different brands to make sure everything fit together. I can’t wait to see the finished product!!
We fell in love with Great Spaces when Dawn, Alison, Megan and Jen (etc.) took us under their wings to help us renew our kitchen. First of all, they LISTENED. Then, they visited their space and again LISTENED to our wishes and ideas. Took photos, then took us back to their showroom to suggest ways to re-imagine the space. They showed us their new cabinet line, and had lots of color and shape choices to look at. Communication was key, and all of them were responsive to phone calls, emails and an occasional drop-in. Their sub contractors were FABULOUS. Their work was amazing, they returned phone calls if they didn't answer the phone immediately, and they were on-time, clean working and friendly. I have reviewed their work separately on other websites also. PLEASE let Great Spaces take you under their wing. We love our new Great Space!
I began the design process and ordered cabinets from Great Space Inc. three years ago. At the time, the global supply chain disruptions made it extremely challenging to source electrical appliances. After several attempts—waiting for months, dealing with canceled orders, and rescheduling with contractors—I decided to put the project on hold. This October, I finally restarted the project. Even after three years, Dawn, Megan, and their team have been incredibly supportive, accommodating our additional requests as the project progressed. The kitchen now looks fantastic, and the cabinets from Great Space Inc. are of excellent quality. Kudos to Dawn’s team for their outstanding work! We’re so fortunate to have such a reliable local business helping us.
I worked with Great Spaces to renovate my master bathroom and I am really thankful I made that choice. I had limited space to work with and Dawn’s space planning skills offered several different options from which to choose. I admit to changing my mind on multiple decisions, but Dawn just went with the flow and reassured me to that I should get just what I wanted. The contractor was always in a good mood about it. Dawn took my inspiration tile and helped me make it the center of the design for my beautiful new bathroom. There were multiple choices to make along the way but the team at Great Spaces stepped in when I got overwhelmed. You would never know this was an age-in-place bathroom — the stunning result is beautiful. All my friends and neighbors love it as well.
