Interior Design & Decoration in Upper East Side
Prewar-literate interior design and decoration for Upper East Side co-ops, townhouses, and Fifth Avenue apartments.
A studio that knows Upper East Side
The Upper East Side rewards restraint and craft. Rosario Candela and Emery Roth buildings come with beautiful bones — proper entry galleries, high beamed ceilings, herringbone floors, real moldings — and our job is to honor them rather than flatten them. We restore and extend original detail, then layer in antiques, contemporary art, and quiet upholstery so a Lenox Hill or Carnegie Hill apartment feels collected instead of decorated.
Nearly every project up here runs through a co-op board. We prepare complete alteration packages, coordinate with the building's engineer and managing agent, and design within wet-over-dry rules, floor sound attenuation requirements, and strict work-hour windows. Townhouse clients get the same discipline applied to landmark and facade considerations.
Typical scope: entry gallery, formal living and dining, primary suite and dressing room, library, and staff or service areas — fully decorated down to art hanging and table settings.

View serviceUpper East Side questions
- Can you handle a co-op board alteration package?
- Yes. We prepare and coordinate the full alteration package — drawings, specifications, contractor documentation, and engineer sign-off — and work with your managing agent through approval and construction.
- Do you work with existing antiques and art?
- Always. Many Upper East Side projects begin with pieces the family already owns; we build the palette, lighting, and layout around them and fill the gaps with new commissions and sourced antiques.
