Why Materials Make All The Difference
Thoughtful materials are central to every design decision we make. They are the foundation of how a space looks, feels, and functions. The textures you touch, the finishes that reflect light, and the craftsmanship behind every detail all shape the experience of a home.
At Lisa Frantz Interiors, we believe thoughtful materials are what transform a well designed space into one that feels layered, personal, and enduring.
From custom home design in New York City to residences in Chicago, Connecticut, New Jersey, Aspen, Houston, Scottsdale, and Nantucket, our approach is rooted in creating interiors that are elevated yet livable, with materials chosen for both beauty and longevity.
Custom Finishes: Fabrics, Wallpaper, and Upholstery
Custom fabrics and wall treatments bring depth, warmth, and individuality to luxury interiors. From tailored upholstery to artisanal wallpaper and hand selected textiles, these elements introduce a sense of refinement that cannot be replicated with standard selections.
We source materials that align with the architecture of the home while reflecting how our clients live. Whether it is a custom upholstered banquette, performance fabrics suited for everyday use, or a statement wall covering that anchors a room, bespoke choices allow for a level of nuance essential to luxury interior finishes.
Furniture and Finishes: Quality You Can See and Feel
Luxury is defined by how a home supports the way it is lived. Thoughtfully selected furniture and finishes allow us to design spaces that balance beauty with function, creating environments that feel refined, comfortable, and personal. Every element is chosen with intention, considering how it will be used, how it will wear over time, and how it supports daily life.
We focus on sourcing and specifying pieces that align with each client’s lifestyle and needs. Scale, comfort, and performance guide our selections, ensuring furnishings fit seamlessly into the home. Through cohesive materials and finishes, we create luxury interiors that feel effortless, functional, and designed to be lived in.
Case Studies: The Impact of Bespoke Materials
Across our residential projects, bespoke materials elevate both style and livability. Thoughtful selection of finishes, fabrics, and furnishings allows each home to feel tailored to the client’s lifestyle while maintaining a cohesive, luxurious aesthetic. By choosing materials with intention, we create spaces that are not only visually striking but also functional and comfortable for everyday living.
These projects, showcased in our Portfolio, illustrate how careful material selection shapes the overall experience of a home resulting in interiors that feel complete, layered, and deeply personal.
