"From the biggest and the best to the more modest room...he understands the little things. He never forgets anything. And he has a real sense of honesty and integrity."

Tiffany - Woodcliff Lake

A design process as inspiring as its outcome...

The colors you choose, the patterns you use, the artwork you select, your fabrics, furnishings and finishes – they all say something about you.

Based in Haworth, New Jersey and serving the Bergen County and greater New York City area, we’ve built a reputation on creating partnerships with our clients to create spaces that inspire, astound and function perfectly for the families that live in them.

And with more than 20 years of experience, we’ve been able to curate an extensive library of high quality resources, reliable partners, experienced trade professionals and talented artisans to rely on for all of our projects, from single-room redesigns to large scale renovations and new construction.

The Team

Michael Mariotti
Owner / Principal Designer

Michael’s illustrious, decades-long career had surprisingly humble beginnings in a quaint little upholstery workroom, where he began assisting design clients as a high school student. He’s certified through the National Council for Interior Design, where he became an ambassador. He joined the American Society of Interior Designers and became its President in 2014. And he’s a member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association, with his work being published in numerous design magazines. But to those with whom he’s worked before, his approachable personality and ability to listen intently are perhaps most notable.
