Tier Options
Decor
Objects, furnishings, art, and textiles. Assembled to a standard — not a budget.
Investment Range: Starting at 5% of the property value
Project Duration: 12 - 24 weeks
Scope: Complete home styling with custom elements and without structural work
Perfect for:
- New properties needing a complete and tailored aesthetic
- Existing spaces requiring a sophisticated aesthetic without construction disruption
- Homeowners seeking immediate, impactful transformation
Bespoke
Museum-quality curation. Exclusive international sourcing. Ongoing collection stewardship.
A client commissioning a permanent home - typically a $3M+ property - where the objectss in the space are understood as part of the long-term investment in the residence. Clients who understand the difference between buying furnitur and building a collection.
Investment
Lead times for made-to-order pieces are typically 12–20 weeks. Project timeline runs concurrently with procurement once specifications are locked.
In Detail
Every project at this scope begins with a full FF&E specification — a written record of every piece before a single order is placed. This documentation is not administrative overhead. It is the protection against a sofa arriving in the wrong fabric, a rug appearing two inches short, or a fixture being discontinued at delivery. Our specification prevents the vast majority of procurement errors before they occur.

The Process
Sourcing Playbook
- Primary: Trade showrooms — made-to-order from the D&D Building showroom floor and sister showrooms across Manhattan. These are the largest selection of quality residential furnishings available in the US, trade-only.
- Secondary: Auction houses and secondary market for specific pieces with provenance, patina, or character that new production cannot replicate. Doyle and Christie's for estate material; 1stDibs and Chairish for curated vintage.
- Fabrication: Vetted New York workshops for custom upholstery, drapery, and millwork. We work with the same fabricators across projects — their consistency is part of the quality control.
What We Don't Do
We do not source from retail — not West Elm, not Restoration Hardware, not Wayfair. The furniture in a Signature Decoration program is made-to-order or individually selected, not pulled from warehouse stock.
Process by Subservice
Decor
Bespoke
Extended brief development including investment philosophy, provenance preferences, cultural references, legacy intentions. This is a significantly deeper conversation than standard decoration briefing.
International sourcing trips and remote sourcing. Estate and pre-sale review. Commissioned piece development including artist and craftsperson selection, concept development, contract.
Curated presentation of all proposed pieces with provenance, condition, and placement rationale. Client review and selection. Confirmation of commissioned work.
Commissioned pieces in production. Purchased pieces in transit. International logistics managed including customs, insurance, and condition reporting.
White-glove installation. Art hanging. Final placement and styling. Collection documentation.
Collection management, acquisition advisory, and curatorial services on a retained or project basis after initial installation.
Ideal For
The Client
A client who has recently moved, is moving, or wants to refresh a space without undertaking construction. New condo buyers who need to furnish from scratch. Existing residents who want to upgrade quality and coherence without disrupting the building's systems.
Not A Fit If
If you need to reconfigure the kitchen, add built-in storage, or address the lighting infrastructure, Signature Decoration is the wrong starting point. See Home Upgrade.
Tier Evolution
Signature Decoration clients often return for Home Upgrade or Home Improvement once they've experienced the result of a curated decoration program and want to extend that quality to the architecture of the space.
Building Requirements
Applicable Architecture
Applies to all building types. Board approval not required — no structural or mechanical work involved. The only constraint is service elevator dimensions for furniture delivery.
