Elemental Interiors was created with the belief that transforming a space transforms us both individually and collectively. We want to know how you feel in a space, not only when you are entertaining, but when you are with your family or simply alone. Does your space support who you are now and your vision for the future?  Our inspiration comes from you, our present and future clients.

With over 15 years of experience working on both hospitality and residential design, we bring a high level of expertise to our projects.  Whether it's starting from the ground up or adding finishing touches to an existing space, our goal is to make each project a positive and inspiring experience, leaving you with a design that is a lasting reflection of who you are.

When designing through construction, the placement of things, or color & texture, we seek a balance that is both seen and felt. Whether you know exactly what you want or have no idea, want to be involved with the process or have all the work done for you, we welcome each new experience and support each client’s needs.

We founded Elemental in 2009, after working together at Thom Filicia Inc., managing projects such as the VIP Suite at World’s Expo in Japan, W Hotels in Atlanta, Los Angeles and San Diego and editorial projects for Oprah and Ellen.  We now call Montclair, NJ our home.  Past and current clients have included W Hotels, J&G Restaurants as well as residences in the New York tri-state area, West Coast, and abroad.

**★★★★★ — Melanie Smith, Jan. 2018**

> I hired the EI team in January 2017 on the advice of our architect to help with design elements of our home renovation.  The total budget was $400k+ and we wouldn’t be living in the country during most of the renovation so we felt we needed the services of a professional design team and that’s exactly what we got with Elemental Interiors.
>
> From the first meeting with Megan and Sarah I knew we had made the right decision.  We were renovating 2 existing bathrooms, adding a full bathroom, gutting the kitchen, adding a new entry and mud room and touching every other room in the rest of the house with either paint, flooring or decor and a lot of decisions had to be made.  We needed to keep the project moving forward so we could move back into the house upon our return to the US in June 2017.  They did not shy away from the challenge of having to service a client who would be 13 hours ahead time wise and not available in person more than once or twice during the renovation.  We used technology to select fixtures and finishes and they made great use of the face to face time they had with me.
>
> They also both had a keen eye for what we liked stylistically and were critical in selecting and procuring fixtures, paint colors, rugs, lighting,  and furniture for the various bathrooms, kitchen, dining and family rooms and helped keep the GC on track.
>
> We also had a couple of unique project items that included a built-in banquette in the kitchen and built-in seating in the mud room hallway which they helped outfit.  Both of these projects were not usual and therefore required creative solutions to ultimately execute.  We love both projects and the overall look and feel of the house.
>
> I cannot recommend the Elemental Interiors team enough.  Smart, accountable, creative and professional service that helped make a somewhat complicated renovation doable.

**Comment from Elemental Interiors:**

> Thank you Melanie; we really appreciate what you wrote.
> And we loved working with you!

**★★★★★ — Pedro Perez, Sept. 2017**

> We have worked with Megan and Sarah on multiple occasions and have had amazing experiences every time. We came to them because we love mid-century modern and minimalist decor, but it can be a little cold. So they have expertly guided us on ways that ensure our apartment remains warm. They are also outstanding at staying within our budgets, and advising us in which pieces we should invest and for which ones we should look for an alternative. Finally, their dedication to making sure the job is completed well is beyond compare. For example we had a custom made table that had some minor flaws from the manufacturer. They handled every logistic ensuring we got our money back and finding a new manufacturer. We couldn’t be happier with how well they have taken care of us!

**Comment from Elemental Interiors:**

> Thank you! What can we say, you are amazing clients and we feel lucky to have worked with you.

**★★★★★ — Hannah Volkman, Sept. 2017**

> It was a true pleasure to work with Elemental Interiors.  Sarah and Megan are extremely talented designers, and they really care about your home.  They helped me through the design and execution of an apartment renovation that ended up being quite complicated, and I could not have made it through it without their stedfast support and dedication.  Their design is beautiful and I get compliments on it all the time.  From layout to finishes to furnishings their taste is impeccable, and they will be a true partner in lovingly transforming your home.

**Comment from Elemental Interiors:**

> Thank you! Working with you on your apartment was a wonderful. Looking forward to the next project together!

**★★★★★ — L Costello, Sept. 2016**

> We had the pleasure of working with Elemental Interiors on an overseas installation that involved an entire home renovation.  Elemental Interiors is very knowledgeable about their craft, design resources as well as domestic and international products.  Their creativity as well as attention to detail came out in countless areas of our house.  They took care in learning about our wants and needs while pushing us outside our comfort zone.  The team also worked well with budget considerations and when it made sense, they used pieces that we already owned.  Given that the project was in Europe, communication and flexibility were key to making this relationship work.  The team was in constant communication and able to respond quickly to time sensitive decisions.
>
> The end result is a beautiful, comfortable and warm home.  We receive endless compliments.  It is unfortunate that the ladies can only see the final product through pictures and videos.  We could not have done it without their care, guidance and excellent advice.

**Comment from Elemental Interiors:**

> Thanks! We just wanted to take the time to tell you what a great experience it was working and collaborating with you. Your home is beautiful and the challenge of working on a project overseas was a gift in and of itself.

**★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2016**

> This firm does amazing design work with detailed focus on the clients' particular taste and style.  Additionally, they are very dedicated, personable, down to earth and fun to work with.  I highly recommend them as they go above and beyond for their clients.

**Comment from Elemental Interiors:**

> Thanks Karen! We look forward to collaborating with you again!

**★★★★★ — Courtney Tierney, Aug. 2016**

> Elemental Interiors has been a joy to work with. We hired them 9 years ago to create the layout and design of our entire home. They did an incredible job. Later, when our finances changed dramatically, they treated us exactly the same and gave us designs on a small budget.
> Their billing is straight-forward which makes working with them much less stressful.
> We are purchasing a new home and can't wait to have Elemental Interiors do the entire home!

**Comment from Elemental Interiors:**

> Thank you! You have been such a gift to Elemental and we are so thankful for our journey together.

**Comment from Elemental Interiors:**

> Thanks! It was great working with you and look forward to having the opportunity again.

**★★★★★ — Karen Sardzinski, July 2016**

> We could not have asked for a better design team to help with our new home!  Megan and Sarah were an absolute pleasure to work with.  They were recommended to us by our architect (Siegel Architects) and were an integral part of our team through both planning and construction.
>
> They did a fabulous job of integrating our favorite possessions with new pieces more appropriate for this style of house; mixing high end pieces, with moderately priced pieces and even finding local craftspeople to design and build certain pieces to really give the house that special touch.
>
> They are creative, efficient , organized and an absolute pleasure to work with. They worked well with our contractor and all of the various subs throughout this 2+ yr project and no task was too big or too small. We could not have brought our home to its beautiful and comfortable completion without them.
>
> These are two very talented young women and my husband and I would recommend them to anyone.

**Comment from Elemental Interiors:**

> Thank you! We both think about your project often, it was truly a special experience. We loves working with you and love your home.

**★★★★★ — nbaema, July 2016**

> Sarah and Megan are wonderful.  They listened to our ideas and presented a plan that perfectly fits our house and lifestyle.  They gave us great choices and presented alternatives when we asked them to.  We found them to be extremely organized and responsive.  They also worked directly with our contractor and were invaluable when it came to making the hundreds of final decisions regarding lighting, tile placement etc.  The fact that we reside in NJ was not an issue  - they were available whenever we needed them.  Without exception, every person who has seen our home since our renovation has commented on how great everything looks.  We recommend Elemental Interiors without reservation.

**Comment from Elemental Interiors:**

> Thank you! We really loved working with you and helping transform your home.

**★★★★★ — karen Criares, July 2016**

> I would highly recommend Elemental Interiors. Megan and Sara were a pleasure to work with through the whole design process. They respected my opinion but also pushed me to try new things. The end result is beautiful!  I have worked with several designers before and they are by far the most talented and easiest to work with. They stayed on budget and always got back to me right away. They love what they do which comes across the first time you meet them.

**Comment from Elemental Interiors:**

> Thank you Karen! Working with you was a wonderful experience; we really appreciate the collaboration and process. And it was very rewarding to see the transformation of your home.

**★★★★★ — Virginia Sibal, July 2016**

> Elemental Interiors professionally communicated their design plans and recommendations following the initial project discussion.  They listened to my needs and desires for the rooms in our new home.  It was easy to have open discussions about the layout and furniture options throughout the project.   The project came in under budget, but with amazing results.  Elemental Interiors incorporated our lifestyle and personal sense into the project.  The living spaces are warm, comfortable, yet stylish.  They took the stress out of helping to make this new house our home.
