Choosing an interior designer in Albany, NY comes down to trust. You’re inviting someone into your home and into your decisions. It’s a big step and often one tied to a new season of life.

That’s why listening well and following through matter so much to us, and where founder and principal designer Linda Gerace-Skinner leads by example. Along with a strong eye for inviting, sophisticated spaces, Linda puts homeowners at ease. She listens closely, offers practical and aesthetic guidance, and makes room for questions. That approach sets the tone for our entire team.

As a firm, we specialize in full-service interior design for renovations, new construction, and whole-home furnishings. Here’s how the process typically works:

I. Consultation
Every project starts with an in-person consultation. We walk through your home, talk through what’s working and what isn’t, and get clear on the goal. Afterward, you’ll receive a detailed scope of services with projected costs.

II. Design Concept
Next, it's time to hone in on your vision by exploring layouts, finishes, and furnishings. Renovations and new builds start with choosing finishes such as tile, cabinetry, countertops, and lighting. Furnishings projects move straight into plans and furniture selections.

III. Presentation & Plan
The full design comes together during your presentation. We review layouts, materials, furnishings, and custom elements. Drawings and samples help you visualize the direction.

IV. Construction Support
If construction is involved, we’ll handle coordinating trades schedules, tracking progress, and keeping you in the loop.

V. Procurement
Once selections are approved, ordering begins. We handle sourcing, tracking, inspections, and storage. You won’t need to chase updates.

VI. Installation
Installation day brings everything together. Furniture, lighting, art, and final details are placed and adjusted as needed. Grab the champagne–your new space is ready to enjoy.

At the end of the day, you, your family, and your Albany home deserve the very best. We’re here to help you get there.
