Paul Stuart Rankin Inc.

I had never utilized a professional project manager and interior decorator prior to working with Paul and I worked with Paul for over a year. It was a tremendous experience and for my next project in another city, I went thru three before I found one CLOSE to Paul but never equal to Paul. Very much the professional, Paul challenged me to think differently, take some risk, be a bit more bold and he had to because frankly I would painted everything hospital while and gone to Ethan Allen for furniture. Paul was on time, on budget and the results were spectacular, beyond my wildest imagination. I would utilize Paul again in a second and can recommend Paul highly.

I have known Paul for over 30 years. He is a pleasure to work with and understood what I wanted right away. He brought the right swatches immediately and I never needed to ask him to go back again. He understood my taste. He made great suggestions and was always prompt and careful.

I have had the pleasure of working with Paul Stuart Rankin over the past three decades. Our long working relationship began when I hired Paul to decorate my first apartment in NY, just off Fifth avenue. He was very sensitive to both my budget and time constraints. He found the right mix of classic style and American comfort, and he worked with all of the different people involved in putting the apartment together with tact and professionalism. He was particularly attentive to keeping to schedule. I was so delighted with the results that when I moved to Paris and had an apartment to decorate, I called Paul. He brought a deep understanding of the French decorating idiom, grounded in a thorough knowledge of the various styles, as well as excellent French language skills that allowed him to work easily with the French artisans. Once again he successfully married French style with a relaxed idea of American livability. And after beautifully decorating my apartment in Paris, I turned to Paul to work with me on my country house, a 300-year old Burgundy farmhouse. Working closely together, we were able to breathe new life and style into a rustic country abode. The results were marvelous- in line with what I had envisioned, and finished on time. Working with Paul is always a pleasure. He is a true gentlemen, whose in-depth knowledge and great style bring about wonderful places to live and entertain.

Paul Rankin has been working with us for almost 20 years now on a number of projects and we could not be happier. He has done everything from a complete renovation of a large pre-war apartment in NYC to a redecoration of an 18th century farm house in the country. He has excellent taste, and knows how to translate our dreams into reality.

Paul has impeccable taste - and is a genius with colors. He is careful with your money and handles all the follow-through on deliveries, etc. His style is classic - and he's a classic!

I have worked with Paul Rankin a number of times during the past ten years. He has exquisite taste and is tireless in his efforts to find just the right fabric, tiles, paint, lighting. He is a good listener and has often found objects and designs that have been perfect for my space. Paul maintains strong relationships with contractors, painters, stonecutters, carpenters. He is patient but firm, always keeping an eye on your budget and your deadline. He designed and supervised the creation of an open kitchen in my apartment in Chelsea that transformed it into a beautiful, efficient place for cooking and entertaining. I am just moving into a small house on City Island. Paul will be at my side as I turn it into my dream house. Anne Dowling

Paul is a wonderfully talented at both the elements of style and the practical considerations of remodeling a kitchen, bath, etc. His experience and vast resources will guide you through any process and help you make selections that will deliver your desired result. I have greatly enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend him.
