Meredith Lewis Gallo brings a fresh, fashion-forward perspective to the firm, shaped by her formal design education, studies in European art history, and experience working alongside some of the industry’s leading designers. Her approach blends a deep appreciation for traditional design with a modern sensibility, creating interiors that feel sophisticated, layered, and effortlessly timeless.

Together, they unite timeless craftsmanship with contemporary creativity, offering a distinctive approach to luxury residential design.The Art of Living Beautifully Inspired by Palm Beach’s rich design heritage, their interiors embrace the details that make a home truly memorable: beautiful patterns, rich colors, natural textures, vintage furnishings, and an artful mix of old and new.

For a young family of five, we set out to create a home that felt timeless and sophisticated, yet comfortable enough for everyday family life. Set within a classic Colonial in Harrison, New York, the project was an opportunity to embrace traditional design while giving it a fresh, youthful perspective.

Throughout the home, we layered custom upholstery, carefully selected antiques, beautiful textiles, and a playful mix of color and pattern. The goal was to create interiors that felt collected over time rather than overly decorated—rooms with personality, warmth, and character, without ever feeling too formal or stuffy.

One of the home’s most memorable features is the dramatic two-story entry hall, where a custom mural commissioned from London and a hand-painted floor set the tone for the rest of the interiors. These special details bring a sense of artistry and individuality to the home while honoring its traditional architecture.

The result is a fresh interpretation of classic design—one that balances old and new, elegance and livability, and proves that traditional interiors can feel just as relevant today as they will decades from now.

Our philosophy is simple: good design should never feel tied to a trend. It should evolve with the family, tell a story, and stand the test of time.
