What is a good expression that means you succeeded in your task?
For example, I would like to say that the designers of an exhibition succeeded in their task to make the atmosphere warm and inviting.

The designers of the exhibit exceeded expectations in making the atmosphere warm and inviting? Outdid themselves in making the atmosphere warm and inviting? Something more like that?– Richard KayserCommented Nov 1, 2016 at 4:40

How about exceeded all expectations, outdid themselves, went (way) above and beyond, or were spot on?
Your example:
The designers of the exhibition exceeded all expectations in making the atmosphere warm and inviting.
The designers of the exhibition outdid themselves in making the atmosphere warm and inviting.
The designers of the exhibition went (way) above and beyond in making the atmosphere warm and inviting.
The designers of the exhibition were spot on in making the atmosphere warm and inviting.
