Marbella Design Studio is an Arlington-based, woman-owned kitchen and bath design showroom run by Martha Posada, with an extensive and consistently excellent review history — 24 reviews from 2022 through 2026, all five stars, across Google and Houzz. One important caveat: Massachusetts's licensing registry lists the company's home improvement contractor license, held under Marbella Design Studio LLC, as expired. The customer accounts themselves are detailed and glowing. In a January 2026 review, a customer described a bathroom remodel guided by detailed 3D visualization plans, a tidy and detail-oriented contractor crew, and the flexibility to change a cabinet door color mid-project without friction. In a December 2025 review, another customer described Martha personally coordinating and managing every trade on a bathroom project, including tile work, to keep the process smooth from design through completion. Kitchen projects draw similar praise: a 2024 reviewer described using Martha for multiple kitchen design projects and finding her highly responsive with excellent quality each time, while a 2022 review described the studio delivering materials on schedule even as supply-chain delays were affecting the industry broadly, calling the finished quality impeccable. Another 2022 review described a months-long collaborative design process to help a couple settle on cabinet colors and layout for a dated, dark kitchen they wanted brightened. The studio's own materials describe cabinets, tile, and countertops sold through its Arlington showroom alongside kitchen and bathroom remodeling design services, and its Houzz profile lists it as an Authorized Fieldstone Cabinetry Dealer with more than 16 years of experience serving roughly two dozen Greater Boston towns. The Better Business Bureau lists the company at an A+ rating, though it is not BBB-accredited; the BBB profile puts the company at 13 years in business, a few years short of the 2010 founding date the company's own website states. For a Greater Boston homeowner planning a kitchen or bathroom remodel who values design-forward planning and hands-on trade coordination, Marbella Design Studio's review history is exceptionally strong — though its home improvement contractor license should be confirmed as current before signing a contract.
Great service and excellent quality products. Highly recommend!
Really great experience from start to finish. They were incredibly easy to work with and helped us choose a kitchen design that feels timeless and high quality. The installation process was seamless, organized, and completed right on schedule. Everything turned out exactly how we hoped, and the attention to detail really shows. Highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen.
Martha was fabulous to remodel our bathroom! She had great 3d plans to visualize, her contractor was always in a good mood, timely, very tidy, detail oriented. We changed our mind about the color of a cabinet door once it was up and Martha worked with us around that. And we now have a modern bathroom, with a fabulous new mirror with built in lights. She also helped us do a small remodel of our kitchen and that was great also! Cannot go wrong with hiring Martha !
Martha at Marbella Design Studio did an absolutely phenomenal job with my bathroom from start to finish. She not only designed the space beautifully, but also coordinated and managed all of the contractors, including the tile work and other trades, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Her attention to detail, eye for design, and ability to bring everything together were outstanding. She listened to what I wanted, guided me with thoughtful recommendations, and delivered a final result that exceeded my expectations both aesthetically and functionally. Beyond the work itself, she was an absolute pleasure to work with and by the end of the project she honestly felt like family. The bathroom came out incredible, and I couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend Marbella Design Studio to anyone looking for a truly full-service design and renovation experience.
The renovation was excellent. Martha is a pleasure to work with.
