She's respectful to your ideas and budget. She is fluid in her thinking, always bringing a special nuance to the project; she does not do cookie cutter design. She is also a great colorist with fantastic visualizing skills. Recently redoing a guest bedroom is our second project together. Again, I am very pleased with the outcome. Not only does the room function as I was hoping but the overall design has a wonderful sense of completeness. She has not created a room where things are just put in a place but, has created a space where the furnishings are all in a wonderful relationship to each other. ### All 6 reviews **★★★★★ — Lynda Shield Greig, Aug. 2016** > I have completed two projects with Sara Bengur. My first project was a new condo in South Florida. Sara was able to create a modern feel that suited the environment with out having a slick glossy empty feeling. Her travels and interest in cultures from around the world added texture, warmth and a unique character to the space, while also incorporating her knowledge and selection of beautiful and special items that made our vacation home a place that is inviting and relaxing for our family and guests. My husband and I were so in love with the work that Sara did in Florida, that we asked her to do the same for our two bedroom apartment in New York. Sara was faced with the challenge of finding space and storage in a small residence, while creating a sanctuary from the busy life of the city. Our apartment is peaceful and calm, and holds a lot of character that is distinctive to Sara Bengur Interiors. **★★★★★ — akyuzarchitectural, Aug. 2016** > Sara Bengur's work always has beautiful and well thought out design concepts and amazing attention to detail. She has a brilliant sense of color, and her work always continues to attract much praise and interest. If you are looking for something elegant and special, Sara is the one to call. **★★★★★ — SKOLNICK Architecture & Design Partnership, July 2016** > I am an architect in NYC and have known and collaborated with Sara Bengur for over 11 years. We have worked together on a range of projects including a NY townhouse, and a country-house in upstate NY that involved major renovation of multiple buildings and the creation of a family compound on a large site (see cover story of House and Garden from May 2007 - Couture Cabin). Her involvement in these projects has resulted in a joyful collaboration that I have found to be intensely creative, professionally respectful and fun and the best part is - our mutual clients get to be the happy beneficiaries of her thoughtful, interesting and personal vision. Sara creates individually conceived, beautifully detailed and well-crafted interior environments that are inspiring, colorful and uniquely reflective of each client-situation. Paul Alter, LHSA+DP Principal **★★★★★ — tucker84, July 2016** > Sara Bengur is not only a great designer, colorist and innovator but most importantly is a great big open heart. The process of design needs a caring designer so Sara provides her compassion and bright intelligence to all she does. I highly recommend her after 15 years of cooperation. **★★★★★ — Ampersand Architecture, July 2016** > I have worked with Sara and her team for 10+ years on high-end residences. As an architect I have worked closely with Sara Bengur Interiors on developing and executing projects with high level of design and details. They have been a pleasure to work with and bring to the table a very talented and professional interiors firm. Our clients seem to share my opinion that their work is colorful, refined, fun and thoughtful. ## Selected projects - [Claverack Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/claverack-farmhouse-pj-vj~7659880) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: For an 1800s farmhouse in the Hudson Valley, I worked collaboratively with my clients bringing together their personal collection of furniture, objects, and antiques from their extensive travels throughout Italy, Spain, Morocco, India, and Greece with eclectic finds I sourced locally.

Hall’s NYC apartment, they asked me to reprise my role for their weekend retreat in Stone Ridge NY.

They approached me after a long selection process to create a home in their new apartment at the historic Eldorado on the Upper West Side. We started our decorating journey drawing from their recent experience in the UK where Michael was shooting Safe. They were drawn by the look of British country homes, the casual elegance of florals and patterns, the feeling of design elements layered together over time and seamlessly coordinated in the most natu… - [Upper East Side Penthouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/upper-east-side-penthouse-pj-vj~6198149) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 7 - Description: Bengur’s style is surprisingly adaptable to a range of environments. In this Upper East Side apartment, Bengur uses traditional architectural detailing to great effect, by mixing continental pieces that speak to the gothic archway and ornate neoclassical fireplace. In a lively kaleidoscope of color and textures, accented by vintage photography from India and jewel toned ethnic textiles, the interiors come to life with a sense of wanderlust — the perfect highlight to her client's eclectic art col… - [Hollywood Beach](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hollywood-beach-pj-vj~7250286) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Hunting Lodge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hunting-lodge-pj-vj~976728) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: Sara and architect Paul Alter worked together to renovate this Hudson River Valley lodge.
