Philosophy

At Lori Gentile Interior Design, client satisfaction is our top priority. We offer an elevated approach to everything we do, and are known for creating high-style, custom interiors that stand the test of time. From complete interior design and architectural specifications to art consulting and curation, we take care of our clients with a full spectrum of services.

We believe in the art of dwelling well.


 

The Process

We believe living your best life begins by cultivating beautiful surroundings, and what truly makes a house a home is not the things that fill it, but the people who reside there. Your space should reflect who you are—as a person, as a family—and inspire security and joy every time you step inside.    

That’s where we come in.

We customize each project to the client because style is subjective, and the very idea of a home is deeply personal. Interior design is not one-size-fits-all, but rather an intimate undertaking that requires trust and a sequential, thought-filled process.

We start by listening and asking questions about your passions, hobbies, travels and unique interests. These early conversations become the foundation of what we view as a long-term collaboration and partnership. Based on an initial interview, we determine the project’s scope, specific requirements and timeline. We can align the team you have in place or loop in architects, contractors and subcontractors as needed. We carefully vet every member of the team, including painters, audio consultants, electricians, landscapers, and more.

We present you with design concepts to review color schemes, fabrics, furniture selections, along with flooring, countertop, paint colors and material and finish selections. We guide you through all the hand-picked designer details with presentations, samples, and shopping trips to understand the design concepts being created. Keeping you pleased and confident with the specifics and pricing is of upmost of importance to us.

Through each phase, from demolition to art installation, we remain hands-on and engaged, and create detailed architectural specifications to meet the project’s needs. Whether its artisanal woodwork, fine finishes or custom built-ins, we ensure all specs are met with exacting standings.

As inevitable hurdles arise, we lean on our decades of experience and expertise to develop innovative solutions and problem solve. Transformations take time, but we consider the entire process an exciting adventure and the end result is always worth the effort. Our job is to translate your vision into a space you love—to arrive at the intersection of form and function, strike that delicate balance between stylish and livable, and ultimately create the home of your dreams.
