Customers say: Quick response

"Experienced, Efficient, Effective... are all words we would use to describe Ely Lieberman. She is the consummate professional, detail oriented and honest. My husband and I decided (as a retirement gift to ourselves) to redesign our Manhattan apartment. We had no previous experience working with interior designers but our choice to hire ECL Interiors proved to be exactly what we needed. Ely quickly figured us out, assessed our specific needs and moved full speed ahead. Throughout our redesign she was our champion, took charge and offered us reasonable and sound advice. Ely balanced our needs well, paying close attention to our budget (my husbands primary concern) and the need for beauty at any cost (my concern). And she kept us ON SCHEDULE! Elys many years as an interior designer in both the Corporate and Residential design worlds has graced her with a roster of high level contacts who treated Elys clients as their owns. Her sense of space, her amazing knowledge of color and her impeccable taste, helped us transform our apartment into a beautiful and charming place we call home. We will know Ely forever and will always hold her in the highest esteem. We love our little piece of heaven Thank you"

"I am beyond impressed with "My Sister's Home"!! They designed my apartment from top to bottom with such care and creativity. The lead, Darnella, was incredibly flexible, understanding, and attentive to my needs throughout the process. Always available and professional, she truly exceeded my expectations. The final reveal left me speechless! Not only is she talented, but sheâ s also a genuinely nice person. I couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend her services!"

"Hiring Elson, Ardi and their team was a great choice from Day One. Their proposal was well conceived, the price was very competitive, and the work was completed on time and on budget. Dismantling and removing the old roof deck on our co-op in midtown Manhattan and replacing it entirely with a well designed new one was a big job but was finished remarkably quickly. Plus, Elson made several recommendations that greatly improved final result. As President of our co-op, I would unequivocally recommend this company."

"We were so happy with Neilâ s design for our home renovation. He maximized the space we had and really listened to what we wanted. Neil understood our aesthetic and helped us select materials and finishes that fit our taste and budget. He is knowledgeable about construction as well as design, and did an excellent job overseeing our contractor. Neil was attentive throughout the job, tweaking the design when necessary. 2+ years after the renovation weâ re thoroughly enjoying our renovated home. Highly recommend TNB Architecture!"

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

While the terms 'interior designer' and 'interior decorator' are often used interchangeably, they represent distinct professions with some overlapping work. The primary difference lies in the scope of their projects.

An interior decorator focuses on the aesthetics of a space, making less permanent decisions about decor. Their work involves selecting colors, fabrics, furniture, wall art, paint, and other finishes to 'dress' a room and enhance its style.

An interior designer has a broader scope that includes a decorator's aesthetic focus but also extends to the structural and functional aspects of a space. Designers are qualified to plan layouts, make structural changes, and manage overall functionality. They handle permanent decisions regarding fixtures like cabinets and bathtubs, establish floor plans, and may hire contractors.

Due to the technical skills required, interior designers typically have formal education, certification, and may hold a license, which can result in higher fees. As a general rule, it is best to hire an interior designer for major remodeling projects and an interior decorator for projects focused on establishing or refreshing a home's interior style.

A hearth often looks like a tile or brick floor that juts out from and surrounds your fireplace. A hearth can be made of stone, brick, ceramic, or any other fireproof material. Brick offers a classic and traditional vibe, whereas a hearth made of marble or ceramic may lean more toward modern aesthetics. The most common depth of a hearth is 20 inches.

Mid-century modern design focused primarily on two things: simple, functional furniture, often with geometric shapes, and specific color palettes that included earth tones and what we’d today call retro colors. Furniture often blended different materials, like teak or oak wood, with vinyl, metal, and glass. Common mid-century modern paint colors included browns, reds, burnt oranges, yellows, aqua greens, and whites.

Yes, many providers offer design consultations to help optimize and maximize space, functionality, and usage. It is recommended to confirm the availability of this service with your specific installer or contractor.

Costs depend on project size, customization, and the designer’s experience and hourly rate.
