We have three types of services.

1. Renovation Design

   We specialize in transforming existing homes into highly customized, design-driven spaces. Our full-scope renovation services guide clients through every phase of the process—from reimagining layouts and architectural details to collaborating with builders, artisans, and architects to bring the vision to life. Whether it’s preserving historic character or redefining a home entirely, our team leads with creativity, technical precision, and a deep respect for craftsmanship.

2. Architectural Detailing

   For clients seeking a fully realized home from the ground up, NFID often serves as the Design Architect, directing all creative and architectural design work. With a strong technical background, our team develops comprehensive drawing sets and custom details that shape a home’s identity—millwork, built-ins, finishes, and architectural moments that blend function with artistry. We partner with an Architect of Record locally to handle permitting and code compliance, ensuring each project’s execution aligns perfectly with our creative intent.

3. Furniture & Styling

   Our furniture-focused projects center on the art of refinement—layering color, texture, and pattern to breathe new life into a home. We curate furnishings, textiles, lighting, and art that reflect your personal style and tell a cohesive design story. From new builds that need warmth and character to existing properties ready for a refresh, NFID creates interiors that feel lived-in, luxurious, and unmistakably you.

We only work on entire home projects at this time. This is to ensure your space is being thought about in a holistic and cohesive sense.

Our team specializes in making a house a home, no matter the style, size or period. However, we love a historic home that needs restoring, or a challenging space that begs for a fresh eye.

Challenge accepted.

An architect or structural engineer is needed for any renovation or build project. These individuals execute fully stamped drawings based on the designs we have created. They are also in charge of job site management, which ensures our designs are being followed when bringing the project to life. Apart from accuracy, they’re observing the nitty gritty on your job site with a keen eye. These trusted partners ensure they are our eyes and ears on the ground. For milestone visits, ie: stone templating, or plumbing rough ins, a member of our team will be on site to reinforce accuracy and any design details.

From concept to completion, we translate your lifestyle into spaces that feel lived in, loved, and entirely your own. We manage every detail—space planning, sourcing, procurement, and coordination with trusted builders and artisans—tailored to the unique scope of each project. That said, we like to get involved as early as possible. That allows us to dictate the design direction from the beginning, and gives the project a holistic approach.

Our value lies in our expertise, our taste, our relationships with vendors, and our access to things the everyday consumer doesn’t have access to. That said, our time is very valuable when making a vision become a reality.

In general, our firm charges an hourly rate for our time, and a markup on all product purchases.

Yes! All product is purchased through our firm and received by our warehouse in New York. We check it in, ensure it’s in proper condition, and is exactly what we ordered. Your product is housed in our climate controlled warehouse until your final installation.

If your project is located outside of the tri-state area, we’ll partner with a local receiving warehouse to store and deliver your items.

The limit does not exist.

We source from all over the world. Literally. We’re also lucky enough to work in a place surrounded by some of the most beautiful antiques in the world. We pull from our own inventory, local antique stores, auction houses, and designer showrooms.

About 75% of any project will be custom. That can be reupholstering a vintage piece custom to you or making a completely custom piece for your project. We want things to look just right. And we don’t want it to be replicated. You have a one-of-one end product in the end.

Projects range based on scale and scope. Typically, furnishing a project spans 9-12 months. A renovation or new build project can typically last 18 months to 3 years.

Yes! Nicole is intimately involved in every project. However, our team of experts handles many facets of executing the details of your project. It is a collaborative effort among the team.

Yes. We have put this in place to ensure you are not dealing with the headache of scheduling, deliveries, damages, errors, and no-shows. The receiving warehouse is an essential part of our success.

Yes. Our minimum spend is based on square footage. We give you a cost per foot during our initial discovery call. This estimate gets us on the same page when thinking of budget, and allows you to understand what it truly takes to make all the details in a room come to life. The devil is in the details, and that’s what makes our projects stand out from the rest.

Yes! We account for pillows, window treatments and decorative lamps in our initial design. However, that layer of throws, bedding, dishware, and decorative accessories are all considered an extra layer at the end of the project. We send you a “styling guide” so you can decide how much of those smaller items you want us to source for you. Most often, clients want that extra level of detail that you see in a photograph. So all you need to bring is your suitcase!

We’re currently booking 5 months in advance.

Once you decide you’re ready to work with us, you will receive a scope of project to sign off on. From there, you’ll be billed a retainer fee to hold your spot. We’ll give you an approximate date to kick off the job.

Then we make magic!
