At BRT Interior Design, we believe your Tenafly home should be more than just beautiful. It should support how you feel and how you live, every single day.
At BRT Interior Design, we dig deeper, uncovering the unseen ways your environment affects your mind and body. Our Sensorized® design approach isn’t about trends or quick fixes. It’s about crafting spaces that heal, energize, and support your whole self.
We combine psychology, sensory insight and Feng Shui with real-world practicality to create a sensory-chic environment. A space that supports your flow, calms your nervous system, and helps you thrive in every part of your life.
Simply put, we don’t just decorate rooms; we create spaces that help you be your best self.

The way you feel each day is deeply influenced by how you live and work. If your environment doesn’t align with your needs, it can leave you feeling drained, overstimulated, and even affect your sleep.
That’s why our Sensorized® design approach is about more than creating a beautiful space.
It’s about designing an environment that helps regulate your nervous system, restores your energy, and supports who you are, at every level. Because when your space truly supports your emotional needs, it doesn’t just look better.
You feel better. You live better. You become more yourself.
We focus on creating spaces that feel peaceful and easy to live in. By thoughtfully arranging your environment to flow naturally and reduce sensory overload, we help ensure daily life feels less overwhelming and more manageable, even on the busiest days.
With our signature sensory-chic style, we add elegant and intentional touches that respect how you experience your space, transforming it into a place where you can truly relax, recharge, and be yourself.
The result? A space that finally feels like it fits you. Where you’re not overstimulated, distracted, or on edge. Instead, you’re calm, comfortable in your space, and feeling in control of your emotions.
Tenafly has a warm and welcoming feel with its tree-lined streets and colonial-style homes. It’s peaceful and charming in the best way and has a way of making everything feel a little more grounded.
When I’m in the mood for a great meal, Brasserie is my pick. The French-inspired menu and cozy atmosphere make it the kind of place you want to linger. For coffee, I love Café Trois. It feels like a little escape somewhere in Europe, and it’s perfect for a slow morning or a quiet work session.
Downtown Tenafly is always nice to walk around. The boutiques have unique finds, and the whole area feels thoughtfully curated. I usually treat myself to some frozen yogurt while I browse. It’s simple, but those little moments are the best.
For wellness, Jova Acupuncture has become part of my routine. It’s the only thing that’s really helped with my muscle pain, and now I don’t go without it. It keeps me feeling balanced and helps me stay focused creatively.
When I need some fresh air, the Tenafly Nature Center is my go to spot. The trails are peaceful and the views are beautiful. Whether I’m hiking by myself or with my kids, it always feels like the reset I didn’t know I needed.
A Tenafly interior designer plans and designs interior spaces with both function and aesthetics in mind. This includes space planning, layouts, lighting, materials, finishes, furnishings, and how a space supports the way people live and move through it. Interior decorating focuses primarily on surface level styling like furniture, color, and accessories.
At BRT Interior Design, we look far beyond how a space looks. We consider how it feels and how it functions on a daily basis. I design spaces from a psychological and behavioral perspective, taking into account how layout, color, lighting, and flow impact focus, stress levels, and overall well being. My role often includes problem solving, strategic planning, and guiding clients through decisions that support both beauty and everyday life.
The cost of hiring a Tenafly interior designer varies depending on the scope of the project, the level of service, and how involved the designer is throughout the process. Pricing can be influenced by the size of the space, the complexity of the design, the timeline, and whether project management or sourcing is included.
At BRT Interior Design, pricing is structured to be clear and intentional. I offer defined services such as a design consultation, Design in a Day, design only packages, and full service design. My packages range from $500-$10, 000 for the design fee. This allows Tenafly homeowners to choose the level of support that fits their needs and budget. I believe transparency builds trust, so expectations around fees, scope, and deliverables are discussed upfront before any work begins.
Tenafly interior design timelines can range from a few weeks to several months depending on the project type, decision making speed, construction needs, and product lead times. Design only projects tend to move faster, while full service projects with renovations or custom work take longer.
At BRT Interior Design, timelines are thoughtfully planned from the start. A Design in a Day delivers a complete design plan in a single focused session. Larger projects are broken into clear phases so clients always know what comes next. I prioritize realistic timelines that respect both the creative process and real life schedules.
Many people assume interior designers only work with brand new furniture, but that is not always the case. A good designer knows how to balance what already exists with new additions to create a cohesive space.
At BRT Interior Design, I often work with existing furnishings in your Tenafly home when they serve the space well. If a piece has good proportions, function, or emotional value, I will design around it. New pieces are introduced only when they truly enhance the space or solve a problem. The goal is never to replace for the sake of replacing, but to create a space that feels intentional and balanced.
A successful interior design project starts with listening. Understanding how a client lives in their Tenafly home, what they respond to visually, and what is not working in their current space is essential to creating a design that feels personal and supportive.
At BRT Interior Design, every project begins with one core question. How do you want this space to feel? From there, I dive into your routines, preferences, sensitivities, and goals. I use a combination of conversation, visual references, and intuition to translate your needs into a design that feels like you, not a showroom.
For many projects, collaboration between designers and contractors is essential to ensure the design is executed correctly. Coordination helps avoid costly mistakes, miscommunication, and delays.
At BRT Interior Design, I collaborate closely with contractors, builders, and other Tenafly professionals when the scope requires it. Whether that means providing detailed plans, answering questions during construction, or guiding design decisions along the way, my role is to protect the integrity of the design and support a smooth process from start to finish.
