Interior Design Process For NYC Homes

Hiring the right interior designer can transform your home, and we strive to make the process itself as enjoyable as the final result. At LSB Interior, we simplify and elevate the entire interior design process for NYC and tri-state area homeowners. Our full-service design approach ensures that every project is personalized, seamless, and stress-free from start to finish.

Whether you live in a Manhattan high-rise, a historic Brooklyn brownstone, or a Colonial-style home in Westchester, here’s exactly what you can expect when working with our expert design team.

Step 1: Discovery and Design Consultation

Every successful interior design project begins with a clear understanding of your lifestyle, preferences, and space. In this initial phase, we take the time to learn about your goals, functional needs, aesthetic style, and any architectural elements unique to your home.

What This Phase Includes:

In-depth conversation and space walkthrough
Review of floor plans and existing design elements
Budget alignment and project timeline discussion
Early vision planning and mood direction

Why It Matters: This foundational step ensures the rest of the interior design process is fully aligned with your expectations and lifestyle.

Step 2: Design Development and Space Planning

This is where your vision starts to take shape. Our design team crafts custom solutions that blend functionality with timeless style, always tailored to the architectural character of your NYC home.

You’ll Receive:

Scaled floor plans and 3D layouts
Mood boards and material palettes
Finish selections and lighting plans
Visual and tactile samples to review

Why It Matters: Detailed planning eliminates design guesswork, allowing you to visualize the outcome with clarity before anything is ordered or installed.

Step 3: Purchasing and Project Management

Unlike firms that leave sourcing to the client, LSB Interior handles all purchasing and logistics in-house. We manage procurement and coordinate every moving part so your project runs smoothly and on schedule.

Behind the Scenes, We’re Handling:

Sourcing furniture, lighting, fixtures, and décor
Ordering custom pieces from our trusted trade vendors
Coordinating with contractors, electricians, and millworkers
Tracking timelines, deliveries, and budget compliance

Why It Matters: This phase protects your investment and ensures that no detail is overlooked in the execution of your design.

Step 4: Installation and Styling

As your project moves into installation, our team oversees every detail on-site to ensure your home comes together exactly as envisioned.

What We Manage:

Delivery and placement of furniture and decor
Art hanging, accessory styling, and soft furnishings
Final walk-through and punch list review

Why It Matters: Thoughtful styling is what makes a space feel finished, cohesive, and personal. Our designers ensure your home is elevated and livable on day one.
