Meet Aviva

The best interior designer is nature — and rooms should feel just as alive.

Aviva is a New Jersey–based interior designer and corporate stylist working with clients across New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. Her simple belief: your home should put the “U” in “HOUSE.” Her spaces showcase your personal treasures and collections, layer warm color and texture, and always make room for the details that tell your story.

Beyond full design projects, she brings a maker’s hand that most firms can’t — custom-painted furniture transformations, floral arrangements, and styled tablescapes that turn a dinner into an occasion.

The Process

Clear, collaborative, creative

Step One

Discover

We meet, walk the space, and talk about how you live or work — your style, timeline, and budget.

Step Two

Design

Concepts, color stories, and layouts come together into a cohesive vision for your space.

Step Three

Curate

Every piece is sourced or handmade — furniture, lighting, art, florals, and the details in between.

Step Four

Reveal

Installation day: the space is styled down to the last stem, ready for you to simply enjoy.

Kind Words

What clients say

Aviva decorated two of my homes. Her sense of space and colour is remarkable. She just has to have one look at your space and she can show you samples that are spot on in terms of size and colour. She is good at observing your own taste and style and doesn’t waste time showing you things you won’t like. She has a talent to put a room together beautifully within your budget and works quickly.

I have used Aviva for all my design needs for many years. I love the way she is able to help me create my own style and figure out the look that reflects my taste. Aviva makes the process a pleasure and stress free. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!

I have had the pleasure of having Aviva be my decorator and designer for the past 18 years. Aviva is a pleasure to work with because she is smart, creative, hardworking and cares about you as her client — and she puts her whole heart into making your project meet every one of your expectations.

I met Aviva when I was looking for a decorator/designer for my new living room. I interviewed over a dozen decorators but I chose Aviva — and I am beyond thrilled with this decision. The living room was a large project with a lot of complexities. Aviva was sensitive to my style choices and also to my budget and time frame. The living room turned out to be stunning — and then Aviva decorated my dining room. I receive, to this day, compliments from friends and family about the elegance and design choices in this large and often-used dining area. Over the course of the last 18 years, Aviva essentially has helped me redo, redesign and re-engineer almost every room in my home.

The last project that Aviva completed with me was my kitchen. When designing this kitchen, Aviva made some brave decorating decisions and helped me see “out of the box” so that the kitchen is elegant, functional and aesthetically beautiful — and friends who visit still comment on how much they love it. I am grateful to Aviva for her ability to visualize and work within a client’s needs and framework to create a design outcome that is functional and beautiful. Thank you, Aviva.
