During the process of renovating and designing three spaces of his own, he realized his love of creating the perfect home and wanted to share that with others. Striving for a comfortable, eclectic, undecorated look, Mark is a big fan of “adaptive reuse,” mixing rejuvenated favorite pieces with those key new choices that create a fresh look. He relishes the dialogue with clients, which he feels brings out the best in his and their design aspirations. Mark believes that the “hand of the decorator should be lightly placed upon the interior” and that a home should mirror the character of its inhabitants, as interpreted through his aesthetic. Primarily based in New York City, he also works in the Hamptons, New Jersey, Florida and Southern California. Mark’s favorite charity is ARF – The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons. Therefore, “if the sofa isn’t comfortable for Sparky, it just doesn’t work.” ### Services Provided - 1)Interior Design 2)Project Supervision 3)Art Installation 4)Kitchen & Bathrooms ### Areas Served - Manhattan - Greater NYC Area - Long Island - New Jersey - Washington DC - Palm Springs - and Miami ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Studio-Fichandler | | Address | New York, New York 10011, United States | | Phone | (917) 887-7742 | | Website | http://www.studio-fichandler.com/ | | Followers on Houzz | 16 | ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Studio-Fichandler](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/studio-fichandler-pfvwus-pf~1325409444) - **Website:** http://www.studio-fichandler.com/ - **Phone:** (917) 887-7742 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 1 award (2016), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 14 reviews** ### Reviews **★★★★★ — horgan\_k, June 2015** > Mark Fichandler turned my house into my dream home. His "eye" for detail is incredible. He listened to my vision, improved on it and translated it into reality. He is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. He is organized and follows through. His calm demeanor and sense of humor saved the day on several occasions. What I appreciated most was his advance work in scouting out light fixtures, furniture, paint colors, fabric swatches, kitchen cabinets, etc., and then presenting me with several options to choose from. It saved me time and the feeling of being overwhelmed by too many choices. I am so happy I agreed to his suggestion of installing dimmers on each light switch in my home. It has really made a difference. Visitors to my home are always impressed by the quality of work that Mark did. I receive nothing but compliments. I don't think anyone would ever be disappointed by hiring Mark. **★★★★★ — A Waylett Photography, June 2015** > It was my pleasure to work with Studio-Fichandler. During the process they were very professional, organized and had clear vision what they expect from my work. I would love to do more projects for them. **★★★★★ — rosekav, June 2015** > Studio Fichandler renovated and decorated two of my homes. The first was a cottage in Southampton NY and the 2nd just recently, a condo in Miami Beach, FL. Both are beautiful, delightful and make me extremely happy. Mark's use of soft, warm color, his integration of old and new pieces of furniture, and his sensitivity to the placement of art are all outstanding. Both renovations were complicated and of somewhat long duration. yet were handled with fantastic coordination and attention to detail. I am so pleased with Marks work that I would not start a new project without being sure he could be the decorator. **★★★★★ — gmapes82, June 2015** > We hired Mark Fichandler to help us refresh our Greenwich Village apartment. We wanted to keep most of our traditional furnishings, which have come to us via family members or travels, and yet to be in better harmony with the beautifully spare and spacious quality of the apartment, which includes a sun porch overlooking the garden in a landmarked mid-20th-century co-op. Mark made this process, which we had looked toward with trepidation, both successful and easy for us. > > We recommend him wholeheartedly for three qualities: his excellent taste; his kindness, good humor, and restraint in giving advice without being the least bit pushy; and his awesome efficiency and dependability. He went shopping with us for lighting and located carpet and paint choices. Either he or his equally pleasant assistant made daily visits to be sure the work was being done properly, and arranged installations when we were not there. > > Our project was modest, the changes were not major. But they were all strategic. As a result, both our interiors and our sun porch feel like they have been lightened, enlarged and opened up to the architecture and garden. **★★★★★ — Red Bank FrameWorks, May 2015** > Red Bank FrameWorks has had the opportunity to work with Studio Fichandler many times over the past several years on projects in Manhattan and the Jersey Shore area. We collaborate with many different interior designers and consultants, and always find Mark and his assistants a pleasure to work with. They bring a level of professionalism, personal service, and a strong, confident design vision that puts the client at ease. One of our favorite designers, highly recommend! **★★★★★ — laurierhodes, May 2015** > My partner and I completed a renovation on our new 2 bedroom apartment. We hired Mark Fichandler of Studio-Fichandler to complete the interior design of our living room. He also guided us in selecting paint colors for the entire apartment. Mark and his team were very professional, prompt, efficient and always available. They pre-selected three furniture showrooms based on our feedback to their initial questions, making it possible for us to make our selections in a short window of time. Mark has relationships and connections with many fabric manufacturers allowing us access to high quality fabrics for our furniture and drapes. In addition, the vendors that Mark works with are professional, highly skilled and a pleasure to have in one's home. One of the essential elements of our living room was a wall of built-in bookcases. Mark and his team generated five different designs. He worked closely with the craftsman we hired to build the bookcases to make sure that every detail was to our liking. When it was time to select the paint colors Mark and his team had 4 or 5 choices for each room and were very patient with our selection process. I highly recommend Mark and his team for your interior design project. **★★★★★ — Marcus Hutcheson, May 2015** > Mark Fichandler is an exceptional interior designer whose expertise is matched by his integrity and interpersonal skills. he is results-oriented and client-focused. > > Mark is meticulous, knowledgeable, and is excellent at being able to combine a “big picture” view of the project while being keenly aware of the many smaller details. He has the ability to quickly assess the potential of the space and brings a highly creative vision to offer design options to the most challenging spaces. **★★★★★ — Trimbach Interior Design, Inc, May 2015** > Three words: Fab U Lous! > > A joy to work with. Just get in touch and set up a meeting. You will be pleased. **★★★★★ — wendy1373, May 2015** > Studio- Fichandler is wonderful design firm and we are always happy to do business with them. The firm is creative and easy to work with, with a high attention to detail and professionalism. It is always a please to collaborate with Studio-Fichandler. **★★★★★ — Simon's Hardware & Bath, May 2015** > Mark is an excellent designer! He is friendly and personable, which makes it very easy to work with him. He has a great sense of design and is willing to work based on the clients needs and wants. I highly recommend working with him you will not be disappointed! **★★★★★ — tomaspedrogeorgi, May 2015** > Studio Fichandler's work is impeccable in its execution and style. Mark, the principal, is a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Studio Fichandler. **★★★★★ — emblitzer, April 2015** > Studio-Fichandler guided us through decorating two rooms in our new apartment. We found Mark quite helpful in showing us how to mix vintage with contemporary furnishings. We asked Mark to push us toward using more color than we would have chosen on our own, and we are very happy in our new home. ## Selected projects - [East 57th Street Co-op](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-57th-street-co-op-pj-vj~894073) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [1910 Southampton Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1910-southampton-residence-pj-vj~894024) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Southampton Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/southampton-cottage-pj-vj~913726) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Palm Springs Mid-Century](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/palm-springs-mid-century-pj-vj~894002) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Greenwich Village Duplex](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/greenwich-village-duplex-pj-vj~894052) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [1898 Victorian - Red Bank, NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1898-victorian-red-bank-nj-pj-vj~913465) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Beekman Place Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beekman-place-residence-pj-vj~913803) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Miami Beach Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/miami-beach-condo-pj-vj~1173498) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 [See all 8 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/studio-fichandler-pfvwus-pf~1325409444) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
