Curated & layered, but clutter-free

Services


 

Great choices, just for you

 

Splurge or save — the sky’s the limit for creativity!

Our options aren’t just limited to affiliated vendors/products like e-design platforms or retailers’ in-house services. We can design custom built-in shelving to showcase your family heirloom china and refresh vintage chairs with cozy, custom cushions. If you’ve found a floor model sofa that feels just right, we can work that in too. No need to stress—we help you prioritize and stretch your budget wisely to complete the project.

Caring details personally

 

Simply put, we want you to love being at home.

While we use remote technologies to communicate efficiently and keep the project on track when appropriate, we always visit your space in person throughout the process. We confirm all dimensions to ensure an exact fit and meet your space’s unique functional needs. Colors are reviewed under various lighting conditions, and fabrics are tested by hand. We take a holistic approach because we understand that home is the most important place in your world.

Hands-on (or off) as needed

 

Custom decor, custom process.

We’re a quintasensual boutique NYC studio passionate about creating the fine art of interiors, with the goal of making the process clear and this exciting journey easy for new homeowners to enjoy. Everyone has different needs — whether you like making quick decisions, enjoy being hands-on with the project, or prefer to leave it all to us, we’re happy to support you as much (or as little) as you need. From the start, we set up a straightforward roadmap, so you know exactly what to expect and how involved you’ll be. Our “pay as you go” hourly design fees allow you to transform your space one step at a time (or at full speed), all while keeping your budget under your control.
