Boston Design Center Reviews

Tons of businesses but super busy with little parking

Beautiful building with many different upscale designers.

A great place to expose yourself to a wide range of crafts and shall be offerings. Sine of it is a little too corporate feeling, but there is a lot of great original work to experience.

It is a nice design center but the remodeling that it is going on is running the whole entrance.
It has to be completed asap.

If you ever have nothing to do and you wish to go into the South End of Boston be sure to check out the Boston Design Center parking is free right in front of the Black Falcon terminal. Here is an amazing sight to see with dozens and dozens of interior designers and incredible Furnishings can be seen all at once. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here.

BDC is my favorite place in Boston when it comes for stuff for the home... The quality there is unsurpassed.

Went for a few events and shopping. Plenty of parking (parking garage for extended stays), great restaurants and not too congested.

Autodesk will blow your mind!! I want to change professions....

For working it blows. One loading dock way at one end of building. Get ready to walk a mile.

This is an interior designers playground ! Everything you could possibly need for designing your hoise is here

One of the most romantic places in Boston adjacent to a cruise terminal and an abundant smell of rotting fish in the air due to the close proximity of fish processing plants and heavy bearded fishermen with dirty hands, dirty clothes, dirty teeth, dirty mouths and big stuffed gassy bellys.

Great location with a lot of potential so far not activated...

Not sure how this place has such a high rating. The customer service is nonexistent. Everyone in the stores are glued to their computer screens unable to even say hello. More and more empty spaces, seems like the public is abandoning the center. I m surprised since an unwelcoming feeling permeates the place.

I went to the Boston Design Center for the American Made event this fall. The space was fun--industrial, one of those huge freight elevators--huge windows with great views, and it was well suited to an event like that. We weren't initially sure where to enter the building, but once we figured it out we were all set. There's an inexpensive garage across the street that was handy since the parking lot was full when we got there.

Traffic during the day is a nightmare owing to only a very small loading dock available for the majority of the building occupants. Very tight competition creates unsafe conditions on a regular basis. Extremely poor planning of logistics. Otherwise it is a good place to work.

Nice big place for designers one stop kind of shopping easy to get too

Place is awesome with so many beautiful people and things

A special event in a large open space available for rental. It is reached after passing by the many gorgeous displays of the decorators and home furnishings, fabrics, etc. in their showrooms.

Interesting place to visit. Lots of beautiful products and good events for interior designers

This should be a Boston landmark, one of the most impressive buildings in sheer size and scale. Not super convenient to the city though.

A place where companies related to interior design gather. There are many famous companies such as furniture, curtains, kitchens, and carpets. You can also take a tour like a tour.

A very nice little village, to change from Quincy market and its tourists. Tea place to be in Boston right now

TriMark Innovation Center now showing Omni-Rinse equipment - thanks, all.

Lots of creativity, great home decorating ideas, wonderful accommodating people rich in hospitality

Mass Challenge .. I live a very nice adventure in this place

Interesting place lots of retail and food worth the stop

Great place for working there, eating and some specialty shopping! Great urban industrial environment feeling!

Attended an office party here building is very nice.

Excellent place to buy furniture, carpets and accessories of great quality for the home

This place should be ground-zero for anyone looking for pretty much anything relating to home and/or commercial building projects. There are multiple levels (six, I believe), each with its own selection of stores selling everything from furniture to raw building materials. It's a great way to compare disparate types of materials, motifs and taste. Quality/Pricing runs the gamut, from very high-end to quite modest. At the time of this review, the building is undergoing renovations. It looks as though the updates will be quite attractive when complete.

Great place to find designs and ideas for your office or home!

Well managed during Covid with creative and delicious food. Lovely service. B

The go to place in Boston for fabrics, wallpaper, tile, lighting and furniture.

It's where I work sometime. Getting cooler, better restaurants and retail shops , you can tell, because parking has gotten more expensive.

Reebok store. Best ever! The food tents are also amazing with their options

This place just simply blew my mind away amazing and beautiful house appliance and furniture all through the building

I'm visited this place as business man and I can say just best things, sample: there is so many loading docks and one more interesting thing for employees and visitors bike parking, but this parking is equipped with a tiny bikes repair shop with tools - this one never se in my life. Awesome place 10 of 5 star.

Traffic and parking are nightmares. Building is being redone.

I would recommend this to students who want to find a nice place to study or professionals who want to be productive with work.

The idea is to work hand in hand with the designers ... you can find very interesting things but basically, if you have any decoration idea

Not as prominent as decade ago. Good selection of home furnishings and accessories.

I recently purchased tile from Ann Sacks based on a sample. The quality is far superior to other choices from competing companies. Barbara is extremely helpful in providing guidance on product selection. The showroom is gorgeous. By appointment only.

It s about a 40 minute walk from downtown but it s a great event location if you need spaces for 500+ people

Easy to get to. Just take the S2 (Silver Line) from South Station.

The largest and most comprehensive collection of high-end designer show rooms and distributers in the Boston area.

Because of the cruise ships, the city has altered the maps so you can never arrive in the cut de sac of the building, which is 1 Design Center Place. Also, they are moving the entrance to the side, which should look great, but its currently confusing for visitors.

Flour Bakery excellent. Attractive building Clean first floor Men s Room!!
