What Affects Your Price in New York
Several factors shape where a New York project lands within these ranges:
- Scope of service — whether the engagement covers full planning, sourcing, procurement, and installation, or a narrower slice of the process.
- Square footage and number of rooms — [CONFIRM WITH OWNER: does square footage directly move a project between tiers?]
- Project type — the studio specializes in Commercial, Residential, Apartments, Townhouse, and Single Family Home work; each carries different sourcing and coordination demands.
- Market — New York, New Jersey, the Hamptons, Brooklyn, and Manhattan each present different building types (co-op, condo, townhouse, single-family) that can affect logistics and timeline.
- Level of customization — curated, decisive selections versus fully custom sourcing and fabrication. [CONFIRM WITH OWNER: does bespoke furniture/millwork move a project to a higher tier?]
- Timeline — preferred start date and project urgency, as captured on the studio's intake form.
How the Studio Approaches Investment
Mr. Interiors is built around a concierge, systems-based model rather than a menu of à la carte services. Every project — regardless of budget tier — is treated as a complete system: intelligent planning, curated selections, and decisive editing, rather than a collection of individual purchases. This is the same operating principle described across the studio's Brooklyn, Florida, and female-owned studio pages: one team manages planning, sourcing, and execution, rather than handing pieces off to separate vendors.
The studio's founder, Samantha Abrams, studied real estate at the NYU–Schack Institute of Real Estate and is a licensed real estate professional, giving the studio a technical foundation in how spaces are developed, used, and valued — which directly informs how budgets are structured around layout and long-term function rather than only aesthetics.
