Greenwich, CT · design studio and boutique
No two homes, and nothing inside them, are ever alike.
A full-service interior design and decor studio on East Elm Street, working across Connecticut and New York on renovation, new construction and commercial interiors.
The method
Define · Design · Deliver
A signature method that works in layers, cataloguing both the spoken and the unspoken. Documented standards, structured feedback sessions and transparent project management are what make the creative half repeatable.
Define
Structured inspiration and discovery, centred on your own idea of a sophisticated and timeless environment, and on the values and stories behind it. Standardised groundwork is what makes the results consistent.
Design
Layered concepts, art first. Sourcing runs across a network of more than 6,000 vendors worldwide, so a room is composed rather than shopped, and the art that anchors it is often commissioned.
Deliver
Comprehensive task lists, reporting, one coordinated installation date, and scheduled follow-ups after the project is complete.
The estimate
A budget built by component
A project is broken into measurable components, each priced against real Tri-State conditions, so the budget can be adjusted, compared and understood rather than taken on trust.

held against what is behind the walls

She was the only one who prepared an initial budget by performing site surveys with a contracting team before she was even hired.
Art centric
One loud thing in a quiet room
Art is a focal point that brings a space to life. Pieces are curated and commissioned from around the world, and the room is then built to hold them. It is the reason no two BKI projects read as the same house.

Before you call
Frequently asked
Is hiring an interior designer more expensive than doing it myself?
Not necessarily. A designer sets a realistic budget up front, negotiates trade-only pricing, and prevents the expensive mistakes before they are ordered. Deep product knowledge steers a project toward options that hold both quality and value, and it frequently saves more than the fee it costs.
What is the difference between an estimate and a quotation?
A quotation is a fixed price tied to a finalised scope. An estimate is an informed projection used earlier, while the scope is still being decided, so you can see what is possible and where a compromise may be needed before anything is locked in.
Can you manage a kitchen renovation, a new build or an addition?
Yes to all three. The team carries over 40 years of combined interior design experience and runs a linear process that sets out the exact steps needed to manage and finish work at that scale, alongside the architect, the builder and the trades.
How do you keep a project confidential?
The team is trained never to use a client name or address with a vendor or subcontractor. Everyone brought onto a project signs a confidentiality statement, and files are named by initials. Susan and John Smith are SJS in every document and every piece of correspondence.
Do I need an appointment to visit the boutique?
No. The boutique on East Elm Street is open Tuesday to Saturday and you are welcome to walk in. If you tell us you are coming we will have pulled a few things worth your time before you arrive.
