The Studio
what we do
Becky Shea Design (BS/D) is an internationally recognized full service interior design studio specializing in organic modernist principles across our luxury residential projects and line of custom, artisan crafted furniture & home decor. Unlike most interior design studios which rely on architects for design elements and drawings, we oversee and design every single detail, inside and out. From all custom millwork, vanities, window and door details, down to the grout color and vegetation surrounding you, we holistically create spaces thoughtfully considering how each element symbiotically works together. Our design philosophy is rooted in our deep appreciation for embracing nature’s energy in a sustainable, timeless way that evokes a sense of welcoming calmness & peace. BS/D’s signature use of muted, organic textiles, and layered natural elements paired with industrial materials, like steel and concrete, define our studio’s ethos. When coupled with our obsessive desire to ensure functionalism is not lost, the end result is a truly beautiful, yet practical, design that will stand the test of time.
what makes us different
We're not just a room full of creatives. BS/D’s success stems from Becky & Jake’s respective business backgrounds, which has differentiated our studio's approach to interior design by way of developing proprietary processes and systems to maximize efficiency in project management. At the end of the day, your home is an investment, so our team approaches every engagement with a keen eye not just on design, but on all the moving parts that go into ensuring success in realizing our collective vision. Mindfulness & intention are our two driving forces in creating a home that is not just wholesome to you, but to our collective home, Earth. We believe there's more to sustainability than just being mindful of the materials selected, and that's why we have a heavy focus on economic sustainability by way of supporting local artisans and makers. It may take more time to get that piece, but it will be a piece that carries with it the maker's energy and passion for handmade creativity, while helping to sustain their small business. To us, that is priceless.

TESTIMONIALS
“My husband and I first met Becky Shea in the summer of 2016. We were gutting and renovating a 7,500 square foot apartment in NYC with a 1,000 square foot backyard. We initially interviewed the “top” designers in New York and were told to expect at least a 12 to 18-month project. Don’t be fooled by Becky’s small stature and young age. Thanks to her diligence and dedication as well as her hand picked team, we moved in 6-months later. Every detail, from artistic to functional has Becky’s fingerprint on it. Her taste is impeccable, clean, creative and environmentally friendly. And her dedication to my home hasn’t stopped. Becky has merchandised every aspect of every room, is on call to reach out to any contractor if we encounter a hiccup, and has hired and trained our house staff. I have also been witness to a number of other projects Becky has completed. Although smaller in scope and scale, there is no question Becky worked with the same commitment to timeliness and excellence as she did on my home. It is hard to imagine that Becky Shea Design could become even more efficient and productive, but she has found a way. Her equally talented husband has joined her and together they are growing their design company exponentially”
“Our work with Becky was above and beyond what we could have ever anticipated. She amazed us with her attention to detail, organization and most importantly her stellar design style. After our first meeting, she immediately grasped the vision we were trying to achieve and made it happen! There’s absolutely no way we could have ever made it though our home renovation without her. She’s so passionate about what she does and you can feel the love in all her work!”
“Designer, owner’s rep, project manager, friend, unstoppable force of nature. Becky led me by the hand into the fiery depths of gut renovation and let nothing stand in her way during our journey towards design perfection. My unflagging champion, she saved me thousands of dollars (…tens of thousands if we’re being honest) and took true ownership and accountability of the project across dozens of stakeholders, gatekeepers, and service providers. The result, sublime – jaw dropping, awe-inspiring, how-did-you-pull-that-off-ing. One answer; Becky Shea.”
“Becky Shea not only created a beautiful space, but made me a home in New York City. And not just any home, but my dream home. The team is innovative and thoughtful, and made sure I was involved every step of the way. When I felt overwhelmed in the process, Becky was there to explain, innovate and create. Becky’s ability to selflessly see the beauty in all is magnetic. Her process is therapeutic as she helps you develop your own personal style. No idea was too big, no question was unanswerable. The dedication and care for their clients are traits rarely seen and make you feel as though you are working with family. And this attentiveness is just the beginning. Every time someone sees my apartment, they are blown away at the beauty and level of detail Becky has achieved. Her creative energy radiates in every space she touches. Thank you for your kindness and generosity, patience and education. But, most importantly, thank you for making me feel like I have a home.”
“Becky’s focus is on surpassing your desires. She has great energy, focused attention to detail, is a curious listener, possesses a strong spirit of creativity and has a deep sense of accountability to her clients and profession”
“Becky is incredibly professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. She has a clear eye for design coupled with an intuitive, personable attitude. I had no idea what I wanted my space to look like but she really helped me hone in on the feel, energy, decor, and overall look I wanted. ”
“Working with Becky was a great experience. Great project manager that leveraged her experiences, connections, and talent to create a great space while being attentive to budgetary and time constraints. I would recommend her without reservation. ”
“We found our apartment on a whim and had no clue where to begin when it came to decorating. Plus, we don’t have the patience! Becky was a dream to work with. She fully understood our likes and dislikes and helped turn our place into a real home! ”
“We loved working with Becky! She took the time to talk with us in order to get a sense of our style, and then came up with incredible ideas for our space. She was great to work with throughout the whole process, from developing a floor plan, sourcing furniture and accessories, designing custom pieces, and styling our new apartment. We are so happy to have found Becky, and we would highly recommend her to design any space. ”
“Becky Shea has been phenomenal. I do not know what we would have done without her. We started our renovation/decorating process during a very hectic & stressful time. We got off to a rough start with our first designer after he went MIA. Becky called me back immediately on a Friday night and replaced our first designer immediately. Becky who was incredibly responsive, punctual, dependable and upbeat. I can’t imagine entering a project like ours and having to figure out what had been done and what needed to be done (even we didn’t 100% know). Tracking down all the appropriate people and materials with limited information must have been a nightmare for her but she never complained. Knowing I could rely on her to push the project forward (we had a tight timeline as I was already scheduled to move) and always have our best interest in mind gave me such peace of mind. I was also living in another state at the time so she was basically a life saver. Her upbeat personality also makes her a pleasure to be around. Her taste is exquisite and she pays attention to the details, always. I cannot imagine a better, harder working, or more caring designer than Becky!! I would definitely recommend her :)”
