residential DesigN

Rooms that feel authentic are rarely completed all at once. Studio Formichella designs residential interiors across New York City, layering art, color, and texture over time so a home feels collected and lived in.

How a Project Unfolds

01
Discovery

We start with a conversation about how you live, then learn the space like the back of our hands. Our contractors and specialists join early to define the scope.

02
CURAtion

Concept development and floor planning come first, then we start selecting furniture, fixtures, materials, and finishes. Design meetings find an intuitive flow as we settle on a shared design language.

03
Installation

We handle procurement, project coordination, installation, and final styling. On site, it should feel as seamless as the design itself.

Selected Residential Work

  • A luxury apartment in Boerum Hill Brooklyn

    Boerum Hill Home

    Artful modernity guides this Brooklyn new build from sun-lit corner to sun-lit corner, with soft blue upholstery and veined marble to anchor the living room.

  • Interior of a living room designed by Studio Formichella with a beige armchair from Crate and Barrel, a patterned throw pillow, a potted plant, a side table with a glass vase of green plants, and a large window showing an apartment building outside

    Tribeca Loft

    A full-home remodel for a family loft. Antiqued mirror and brick give the dining room its depth, and a cluster of globe pendants softens it overhead.

  • An outdoor patio with wicker chairs, colorful cushions, and a marble fire pit, set against large green flowering bushes and trees with tall buildings in the background, showcasing a terrace designed by Studio Formichella

    Park ave penthouse

    An evolving penthouse shaped through fine art sourcing, custom fabrication, and a deeply personal collecting process. Botanical prints hung in a single grid give it quiet drama.

  • Two modern, round upholstered stools with wooden backrests placed on a rug next to a glass coffee table inside a room with wooden flooring and a large window.

    upper east side apartment

    Exposed brick, a gold sunburst chandelier, and a chunky knit throw give this apartment its edge and its ease.

  • Living room with large sliding glass doors opening to a patio with outdoor seating and trees.

    Midtown pied-à-terre

    A compact city residence that lives like a larger one: bold pattern, a navy sofa, and a terrace that works as a second living room.

Where We Come In

  • Art, furnishings, and full-scale renovations, edited over time so a home feels collected.

  • Layouts that change how you move through a room, where you pause, and where you sit.

  • Furniture, lighting, textiles, and objects chosen for depth and comfort. We love a custom piece when the right one doesn’t exist.

  • Procurement, white-glove installation, and final styling. We stay until the last pillow is placed.

  • Art sits at the center of many projects. Through our relationships with artists, galleries, and makers, we source, commission, frame, and place work, and help clients build collections over time.

Project Inquiries

Room to Live

Studio Formichella is a deliberately small, hands-on team. We edit more than we fill, and we love a touch of the unexpected.

Before You Ask

Do you take on a single room, or only full homes?

1

Both. We’ve designed single rooms and full-home renovations. Either way, we start by learning how you live in the space.

Not ready for a full project?

2

Book a Studio Session. A Studio Session is a cocktail before dinner. Have one and dash, or stay for the whole meal. It’s one hour with Rebecca, held virtually, so wherever the room is, we can see it. Share photos and questions ahead of time, then leave with clear direction and a personalized design guide.

Do we need to bring our own architect or contractor?

3

No. We’ve built a close community of architects, contractors, millworkers, electricians, and bespoke craftspeople, and we bring them in early so the project feels as seamless on site as it does on paper.
