Questions NYC Homeowners Ask
Full home renovation is a considerable investment. Here's what you need to know.
Frequently Asked Questions About Interior Design in New York City
What interior design services do you offer for NYC homes?
We provide fully custom Italian kitchens, closets, bathrooms, living rooms, terraces, lighting, and full home renovations. Every piece is designed specifically for your space and handcrafted by our network of Italian artisans — no catalog items or showroom compromises.
How long does a full home renovation take in NYC?
Individual rooms like kitchens or closets typically take 3–6 months from design approval to installation. Full home renovations range from 6–12 months. We manage every step in-house — from 3D rendering and building board submissions to Italian manufacturing and white-glove installation.
Do you work with co-op and condo building boards?
Yes. We handle all building board submissions for NYC co-ops and condos, including alteration agreements, architectural drawings, insurance documentation, and noise compliance plans. We've worked with dozens of NYC buildings and know how to prevent costly delays from rejected applications.
Can you work with pre-war apartment layouts?
Absolutely. Pre-war apartments are one of our specialties. We preserve original moldings, hardwood floors, and architectural details while integrating modern Italian craftsmanship and contemporary conveniences — without compromising the character that makes these apartments coveted.
What makes Italian interior design different from local showrooms?
Most local showrooms sell pre-configured cabinets with limited customization. We offer fully custom Italian manufacturing through direct relationships with top ateliers like Aster, Visionnaire, and Longhi — plus one accountable partner from design through installation, with materials unavailable at retail.
Do you handle small-space design?
Yes. Maximizing space is fundamental to our NYC work. We use custom millwork that uses every available inch, integrated storage in unexpected places, multi-functional furniture, and lighting design that expands perceived space. We've transformed 500 sq ft studios and 5,000 sq ft townhouses.
What if my past renovation experience was disappointing?
That's exactly why our process exists. You see everything in 3D before we build, one dedicated project manager owns your timeline, and Italian artisans who specialize in luxury handle the craftsmanship. Planning correctly costs less than fixing mistakes — we've helped many NYC homeowners recover from previous renovation nightmares.
How do I get started with an NYC home project?
Request a free consultation to discuss your project and goals. We'll assess your space, create a 3D render so you can see every room before construction begins, then handcraft your pieces in Italy and deliver with white-glove installation. We accept a limited number of NYC projects per month.
