Lucy Harris Studio

Lucy Harris is a New York-based interior designer whose studio, founded in 2012, works on residential projects across the United States and abroad. The studio creates expressive, layered homes shaped by architecture, materials and the people who inhabit them. Lucy works closely with her clients to understand how they want to live, guiding them through the many decisions involved in designing a home and crafting interiors that feel personal and deeply considered. The studio partners with architects, contractors and craftspeople, creating interiors that build upon the architectural framework and extend through the final layers of furniture, art and objects. Lucy’s perspective is influenced by a lifelong closeness to distinctive houses. Her great-great-grandparents’ art and antiques-filled Boston townhouse became the Nichols House Museum. Later, her great-grandparents, landscape architect Arthur Shurcliff and designer Margaret Nichols Shurcliff, built an Arts and Crafts-style summer house in Ipswich, Massachusetts and transformed a 1790 English-style barn on the family property in Cornish, New Hampshire into a rustic studio. Lucy was raised in a modernist home in New England and today lives with her husband and daughter in a mid-century home in Usonia, a neighborhood designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, north of New York City. She is currently exploring the transformation of the barn on the Cornish property into a retreat for her family, continuing a long family relationship with houses formed by design, place and the generations who have lived in them. Lucy Harris’s work has been featured in Architectural Digest, AD Italia, Elle Decoration, House Beautiful, Homes & Gardens, The Local Project, The Wall Street Journal, Luxe and Interior Design. She is represented on The Expert and in the AD Pro Directory.
