Our Interior Design Philosophy

Personalized Approach

At the core of our design philosophy lies a commitment to personalization. We believe every home should mirror the distinctive essence of its occupants. Our approach involves listening, understanding, and infusing your personality into the design, ensuring your living space is a genuine reflection of who you are and how you live. The Gallery Way means crafting interiors that go beyond aesthetics, embracing your unique story and lifestyle in every nook and cranny.

Maximizing Your Space

Our design philosophy centers around optimizing your living area, regardless of size. We believe that every nook and cranny holds immense potential. Our approach involves thoughtful spatial planning, smart storage solutions, and innovative design concepts that maximize functionality, allowing you to make the most out of every square foot. Together, we transform your home into a spacious haven, tailored to suit your lifestyle and needs.

Innovative Trends

Incorporating cutting-edge technology and contemporary design trends is essential to our design philosophy. We believe in embracing advancements that enhance your living experience. Our approach involves seamlessly integrating smart home technologies (Read: Nuances In Smart Home Technology And What To Understand Before Installing) and staying updated with the latest design trends to ensure your space is not only aesthetically appealing but also equipped with the most modern conveniences.

Core Design Services

Design Consultation

Embarking on the design journey begins with our comprehensive design consultation. Design meetings at our in-house design studio and outside showrooms allow us to delve into your world, understand your unique needs, taste, and lifestyle. We prioritize open dialogue to grasp your preferences, enabling us to tailor a design approach that encapsulates your essence and paves the way for a truly personalized and inspired design experience.

Space Planning

Efficient and aesthetic space planning is the backbone of our design process. We meticulously analyze your space, considering every angle, dimension, and flow. Our approach involves creating layouts that optimize functionality, ensuring each area serves purpose without compromising style. By carefully orchestrating the placement of elements, we craft a seamless and harmonious environment, elevating the potential of your space to the fullest.

Material Selection

In our approach to material selection, we meticulously curate a palette that aligns seamlessly with the envisioned design concept. Our team scours for the finest materials that not only exude quality and style but also perfectly complement the overall aesthetic. Through a discerning eye and extensive industry knowledge, we ensure every element selected enhances the space, embodying the essence of the design and contributing to a cohesive and captivating environment. For instance, see how we found complimentary matching tiles to blend with 100-year-old Dutch tiles our clients wanted to use within the kitchen backsplash for their apartment renovation at 91 Central Park.

Multi-Family To Single-Family Conversions

Unlocking the potential of a multi-family residence to form a singular, cohesive living space demands a comprehensive transformation. This process involves a complete redesign of the existing floor plan, often requiring structural modifications to seamlessly integrate separate units. Walls may need to be removed or repositioned, while rooms may undergo reconfiguration to optimize flow and functionality. By meticulously reassessing and redefining the space, we create a layout that not only meets your unique requirements but also fosters a sense of unity and spaciousness in what was once disparate living units. The end result is a custom-designed, single-family home that perfectly aligns with your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.

The Process: From Concept to Completion

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 in NYC, our specific expertise is in catering to every single design element that could arise in 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 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

Our design team curates all the finishes and fixtures your project requires – everything from penny tiles in the bathroom to chandeliers for the foyer and the whole world of finishes and fixtures in between. Our project coordinators then procure every selection, while also handling the logistics of material inspection and delivery.

We are not limited in material choices, as we are totally brand agnostic and able to purchase any item from any vendor, anywhere, on your behalf as our client. In fact, with us, you don’t ever need to set foot in a showroom - unless you want to, of course. If you’re stuck at home, we’ll bring material samples right to you. Plus, we always pass our trade discounts to clients.

Step 3: 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. Thanks to our full-service design-build process, our dedicated design specialist manages the entire process from start to finish, ensuring the design exceeds expectations and is seamless from room to room.

"Worked with the Gallery Team to do a full gut renovation of our home. As a young family we wanted a more modern and open layout but needed a practical and functional layout which the Gallery Team worked with us to design. They were very helpful through the entire process and worked with us each step of the way with great responsiveness and care for our project. They were helpful but not pushy through the design process and efficient through the construction process.
