How It Works

Five stages, no surprises.

A clear, documented process with transparent budget management, so you always know what happens next.

01

Consultation

A complimentary consultation with Brian Woulfe, at your property or our studio. We listen to how you live, establish scope, programme and investment level, then set out a proposal.

02

Concept

Mood direction, spatial strategy, material palettes and early sketch layouts. Presented in person, so finishes can be seen and handled before anything is committed.

03

Detailed Design

Technical drawings, bespoke joinery, lighting and AV schemes, full FF&E schedules. Everything coordinated with the architect, contractor and consultants.

04

Procurement

We order, track and inspect, manage lead times and deal with makers directly, with transparent budget management throughout.

05

Installation

A co-ordinated installation. We dress the house down to the books, the linen and the flowers, then hand you the keys to a finished home.

Client Words
Brian and his team are superb at planning and executing repairs and building work. Designed by Woulfe carried out a substantial amount of work for me at a very high standard, all the while maintaining absolute quality of finish. Brian’s commitment to his client, as well as his courtesy, is unrivalled.

Brian’s attention to detail and ability to move a project to completion quickly is what sets him apart.

Are you seeking to engage an interior designer in New York? Award-winning design studio Designed by Woulfe is ready to answer any questions you may have. Naturally, you are welcome to get in touch with us directly if you require a personal response.

This is not the way we approach any project - it is completely against the company’s philosophy.

While some studios restrict customers’ choices to the contents of a style sheet or catalogue, at the heart of every luxury interior design we create in New York are the wishes of our clients.

Only when we have considered every aspect of a new project in meticulous detail will we produce a proposal for the work we intend to carry out. It is by carrying out this preparation, in close collaboration with our client, that we can deliver a design tailored to their personal style.

Designed by Woulfe is proud of the global reputation it has built for luxury, quality and service based on this bespoke approach.

The key to our luxury interior design process in New York is the thorough initial consultation that informs our understanding of a customer’s requirements.

We move forward only when we are certain of the creative aspects that will suit your lifestyle and character best, whether you are renovating a property or building a home from scratch.

We use only the most trusted and reputable professional operators in the design and delivery of your project - and we are comfortable with the task of managing the entire scheme if you would like us to.

Some clients prefer to hand over control of the process, which adds to their peace of mind while their design dream becomes a reality.

Yes we do. Designed by Woulfe has a global reputation for quality thanks to our delivery of interior design solutions in a range of locations around the world.

We worked on the design of a penthouse apartment in a 71-storey development in a prime Midtown location. This included the creation of a cocktail lounge-come-home where our client could relax and entertain visitors while enjoying Manhattan skyline views.

We were also commissioned to design the interiors for a show home apartment in a high-end development in Hell’s Kitchen. The penthouse enjoyed outdoor terrace views over the cityscape and the Hudson River.

Wherever we work, our experience in the international property market ensures that we are keenly aware of local cultures and design traditions.
