Elissa Fenster specializes in residential interior design. With an emphasis on a lean, well-edited esthetic, her interiors begin with a space plan. The plan and its implementation are a collaborative process: client involvement is encouraged, and both preferences and needs are incorporated. Well-versed in the range of styles, her designs are current yet classic, and formulated on timeless design principles of scale, balance, proportion and tension. Spaces are characterized by layers of rich textures and detail and are often punctuated with an antique or inherited piece.
