Best Interior Designers NYC
Crafting Timeless Spaces That Inspire
We are a full-service residential and commercial interior design studio with a strong portfolio of projects in the greater New York City area. Although based in Phoenix, Arizona, our lead designer, Jacqueline, is frequently in NYC for ongoing projects and collaborates closely with top local professionals. Recognized among the best interior designers in NYC, we are accessible and available for the right projects wherever they may be, with a particular focus on the greater New York City area.
Our process begins with a deep understanding of a client’s vision for how they want to live, their particular tastes, and the feeling they want their space to invoke. We then look to what already exists, trusting the surrounding landscape and character of the architecture to provide the cues for design. As one of the best interior designers NYC has to offer, we rely on a client’s sensibility and use our knowledge and skill to uncover and elevate their aesthetic vision, inspiring them to consider choices they may never have.
We aim to invent spaces that inspire, grounded in the tactile and the timeless, the raw and the natural, with just enough blank space left for a client’s own vision to expand and evolve over time—because the best design is meant to be never-ending. Whether designing homes or commercial spaces, we are proud to be among the top interior designers serving NYC and beyond.

Custom Furniture Design
We believe that custom furniture can elevate a space in ways that store-bought pieces often can’t. From bespoke sofas to custom cabinetry, our furniture design services offer personalised solutions that fit both your desired style and the unique dimensions of your space. Each piece is crafted with the highest attention to detail, ensuring both form and function align perfectly with your vision.
The Process We Follow
Your design journey starts with a 15-minute discovery call, where we’ll get to know you, your project, and the specific services you’re seeking. It’s a great way for us to learn more about your vision and for you to ask any questions about our process and how we work. If we both feel like it’s a good fit, we can move forward by scheduling an in-person meeting.
Next, we meet face to face with a visit to your space.
During the meeting, we’ll take a closer look at the project’s details and explore the designated space(s). We’ll review the project scope and budget while offering more in-depth insight into our design process, expected deliverables, and what it’s like to collaborate with us.
Based on our discussions, we will put together a very detailed project proposal, including concepts of designs and budgetary estimates and timelines, so you know exactly what to look forward to.
This is your roadmap for the project. You will know exactly what you’re going to get, giving you the clearest picture of how everything comes together.
