The Benefits Of Working With A Design-Build Firm For Interior Design
Congruent Aesthetics From Architecture To Final Touches
Design is in the detail and that is why our interior designers also help manage our renovations, drafting project blueprints to the exact specifications required to meet the plan mapped out upon initial consultation. Not only do our blueprints account for the finer details, our corresponding 3D design renders provide such a realistic representation of the remodel many clients think they’re real.
Never Design Or Renovate In A Vacuum
By focusing on full interior renovations of various styles of apartments, condos, brownstones and more, we understand the importance of ensuring there is a design symmetry that coexists throughout the home - especially in Manhattan. Even if we're renovating one or two rooms, our goal is to ensure a seamless blend with all other room aesthetics, so the interior design flows just right.
Full-Service Design & Installation
As with kitchens, we have a great deal of experience in bathroom renovations. Our thorough understanding of wet over dry restrictions and plumbing stacks gives us the needed expertise to best navigate kitchen and bathroom renovations in Manhattan buildings.
Built-In Architectural Services and Expediting
The accomplices to our interior designers are our in-house architects. With design direction from the designer and client, they meticulously plan and draft detailed architectural drawings tailored to project needs, unique building codes, and specific challenges posed during inspections. From spatial planning to construction documentation, they ensure your designs are not only beautiful but also feasible and code-compliant. Read more on our architectural services and see how our fully-integrated architecture services differentiate from independent architects, who often prioritize their own design, leading to hidden costs and unsettled timelines.

More Streamlined Than Traditional General Contractors
While searching ‘Manhattan general contractors’ may be the first route that comes to mind when renovating in NYC, this age-old path to your dream home is not always the straightest. Hiring a traditional design-bid-build general contractor usually requires additional design support you must source and manage yourself, plus complicated permit and approval work most homeowners are unfamiliar with. At Gallery, our full-service design-build process includes every aspect of your renovation. Read more via What Type Of Contractor Do You Need For An Apartment Renovation In NYC?
The Gallery KBNY Interior Design Process
Have immaculate design ideas, but managing a multi-tier renovation project of your long-time Manhattan apartment feels like a bit much? Have zero design expertise, but know a more modern touch is needed to the Manhattan loft you just purchased? No matter the circumstance, our team of interior designers are here to help guide your project to success. Let’s review the steps to our interior design process.
STEP 1: Interior Design Planning
Design encompasses everything from the actual layout of the floor plan to the more decorative elements that fall under traditional interior design. As an all-inclusive design-build firm for Manhattan renovations our specific expertise is in catering to every single design element of an interior renovation. If you want a better traffic pattern in your kitchen, a specific bathroom tile type, or to turn an unused closet into a washer/dryer room, we can make that happen.
At the front of every renovation, our interior designer works with the client to identify all the finer points of their renovation, understanding where the design priorities are and helping guide their vision to success with as much or little feedback as needed to achieve the most cohesive and functional home design possible.
STEP 2: Materials Selection & Procurement
The most hands-on aspect of any home renovation is finding materials to bring your chosen interior design style to life. That entails paint color, accent walls, flooring style, mouldings, fixtures, countertops, and more. As a full-service design-build firm we take on the design, sourcing, and procurement of every permanent fixture in your home.
Plus, Gallery is brand-agnostic and vendor-agnostic, meaning we’re not limited in any way with our material selections. Some firms or contractors sell their own materials or have relationships with particular vendors, but our commitment is to our clients. We’ll procure from any vendor, whether international or local. This quality makes our ability to design for both taste and budget fairly flexible.
STEP 3: Lifelike Design Renders
After materials have been sourced, we create life-like digital renderings of the renovated kitchen and bathrooms. This includes every aspect of the design, from flooring to fixtures, even showing how renovated rooms will look under different lighting settings. These high-end renderings provide a visual accompaniment to the blueprint that guides construction and helps clients tweak final design decisions like paint color or fixture height. This kitchen render is from our Manhattan condo renovation at The Chelsea Mercantile on 252 Seventh Ave. See the completed kitchen directly below.
STEP 4: Interior Design Installation
When the interior designer and contractor come from different companies, there’s an added element of uncertainty when finalizing a renovation. Once construction is started, the interior designer’s job is typically done and the design and blueprints are in the hands of the contractor. Not with Gallery. Our dedicated design specialist manages the entire process from start to finish, ensuring the design exceeds expectations and is seamless from room to room.
Manhattan Renovations
Before And After
Although we have many Manhattan renovations in our full portfolio, the following are a few that display some of our favorite interior design work.

Upper East Side Co-Op Renovation | 55 East End Ave
We’re getting rave reviews of this co-op renovation on the Upper East Side. Located at Riverview South, a few blocks from Gracie Mansion, this two bedroom, two bathroom was a dated post-war home that hadn't been renovated for years. That’s when the client, a facial surgeon living with his dog, brought Gallery into the equation. Our full-service approach allowed us to hone in on his design objectives, execute the architectural plans accordingly and then work together to materialize the construction of his dream home. View the full Manhattan renovation before and after.
Full Renovation Of Pre-War Co-Op In Manhattan | 1035 5th Avenue
Our recent renovation at 1035 5th Avenue placed us in the heart of Manhattan. This stunning Italian Renaissance Palazzo co-op, located on Fifth and 85th street near The Met, overlooks Central Park. When our client purchased this 4,000 square foot pre-war property, it hadn't been updated in over 50 years. The renovation involved a complete design overhaul, incorporating prior architectural elements and elegant marble accents, while also creating an additional bathroom and powder room. The results speak for themselves, and the client's glowing praise for our full-service approach was especially gratifying.
