Few designers can claim that they excel in both creative pursuits and the minutiae of urban planning paperwork. Paula McDonald, Founder of her Design Build & Interiors firm, is rare in that she has both a creative eye and an expertise at navigating city codes and requirements. She explains: “What sets me apart is an exceptional design and build quality that results in transformations that are extraordinary because of my hands-on experience and management of our projects. The longevity of relationships with our crews and trades—plus our project management process—enables us to see the macro and micro levels of details.” Known for renovating spaces in projects with budgets from hundreds of thousands of dollars up to seven figures, McDonald says: “We optimize apartments in New York City while also removing the usual paperwork headaches of renovation—delivering our clients treasured homes.”

Growth Mindset

Continuing to dream big for her firm, McDonald outlines her current goals: “I aspire to scale the scope of my firm to double its current size. That would allow us to participate in more of the larger projects we have now, yet stay small with around 10 employees.”

Motivating Factor

Client reactions are energizing, inspiring and fulfilling for McDonald. She says: “The confirmation from new clients that they love and appreciate what we have created is so rewarding. Recently I got a ‘wow!’ reaction that seemed never-ending after an apartment transformation. It was an absolute thrill!”

Typical

Workday

No day is typical because things are always shifting, but McDonald is a consistent early riser because “there are never enough hours in the day!” She quickly adds on that this is a good problem to have: “Busy days mean progress and always moving forward.”

HOME SWEET HOME HOME SWEET HOME

New York is a tapestry of innovative architecture— from historic homes to contemporary marvels. Now that you’ve landed the house of your dreams—be it city apartment high in the sky or charming historic getaway deep in the country—it’s time to start decorating. We’ve consulted some of the industry’s top experts to help guide you down the path.

PHOTOGRAPH BY GIEVES ANDERSON. DESIGN: STUDIO ID.

ARCHITECTURE

How do you successfully connect a house with its site?

“The evolution of space planning seems to be cyclical, and I think we’re heading past the open-concept part of the curve and heading back to traditional spatial definitions. Under a more traditional space plan, everything is more defined by specific needs and tasks. Although this trend would have inevitably shifted on its own, the pandemic really marked the end of the preference for open-concept because people needed designated spaces within the home to work, to recharge, and then to come back together, too.”

—Thomas Zoli

“To make a home feel as if it belongs, we are intentional about understanding the broader context of the site, its orientation, and its views. The development patterns and the history of the surrounding area are always helpful in determining context and understanding what came before. On a more granular level, we also think about how the clients like to live. Do they have cocktails at sunset on the porch? Do they have coffee outside in the early morning? Knowing how the client envisions daily life in the home and cross-referencing these needs with solar orientation informs how the home sits on the site and how rooms are arranged within it. Similarly, maximizing views is important to making a home feel rooted to the land.” —Elizabeth Dillon

“With reverence. Most lands we’re welcome to play upon are of special natures. God has done the lion’s share of work—the best we can do is not muck it up. We try to enter the room quietly with our heads down a bit.” —Greg Tankersley

Are you still seeing the request for open-concept floor plans? If so, how has it evolved?

“Yes, but extra effort is taken to emotionally chamber them. Often this is done with changing ceiling heights/materials and carefully orchestrated furniture arrangements. Despite what COVID wrought with shuttering folks at home, most people aren’t returning to the past of dead-end rooms and closed doors.” — Greg Tankersley

“What we are seeing is the desire for a cozy sitting area and casual dining table open to the kitchen in a smaller version of a “great room” than we saw a decade ago. In some instances, we are actually designing walls with large pocket doors or interior windows between the kitchen, dining, and sitting areas so that you have ultimate flexibility: the ability to open them up and flow between spaces, or to close them into smaller spaces.” —Elizabeth Dillon

“In

many of our houses, the dining room has simply disappeared.

In its place is a kitchen open to a dining area and family room.”

—Tom Kligerman

What are some examples of the types of amenities that clients are requesting now?

“More clients are requesting “splunge” pools, whether they are familiar with that term or not. These are sort of a mix between a spa, pool, and plunge pool. They’re deeper than a typical spa, smaller than a pool, and larger than a plunge pool, but they are much easier to maintain. Most people only use their pools for eight weeks each year, so we’re seeing a shift toward smaller pools that are more easily adjusted to the desired temperature, using less water and energy. We’re getting requests for them in places that are warm year-round and ski homes, too. Splunge pools capture all the fun parts of a pool: they’re deep enough that you can jump in, submerge fully, or hang out on the side—you just can’t do laps.” — Thomas Zoli

“Nicely outfitted garages or carriage houses that can be thrown open and turned into an event space. Large backstage rooms off the kitchen to house all the clutter and effluvium that can trash a pretty kitchen. Working cloakrooms right off the foyer to corral life heading in or out.” — Greg Tankersley

“Golf simulators are new spaces most requested. That has a lot to do with technology. I’m not a golfer, but I hear the experience is very lifelike. We are also getting an interest in music rooms. Some are designed to simply sit and listen to music—cozy rooms with great sound and acoustics. But others are spaces where clients actually want to create music. We just completed a whole building dedicated to music—the storage of instruments, recording areas, instrument repair shops, and bedrooms for guest musicians. And potting sheds—we design a lot of them— replete with cavernous service sinks, deep heavy-duty shelving, hose bibs...and pots, lots of them.” — Tom Kligerman

“We are also seeing a lot of interest in wellness-related amenities—not just a home gym but a full spa with hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, steam rooms, and treatment rooms. Some clients want the convenience of having these spaces tucked under the same roof, often in the basement, so they are private and quiet. However, more and more people are embracing the idea of creating a separate domain focused on health and exercise, often with a connection to the outdoors.” —Elizabeth Dillon

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE TO THE BUILDING PROCESS WHEN THE ARCHITECT, DESIGNER, LANDSCAPE DESIGNER, AND BUILDER/CONTRACTOR TEAMS ARE ALL ON BOARD FROM THE VERY BEGINNING?

“Getting all of the essential parties on board from the beginning essentially helps the team to see into the future. That’s the best way to minimize surprises. You’re getting more predictable consistency throughout the job, from all angles; architecture, interior design, and landscape will integrate more easily. It’s easier to maintain budget, timelines, and overall harmony in a project.” —Thomas Zoli

Are there any certain spaces in a home that have historically been underused that you have been rethinking on how to maximize their potential?

“For quite some time, people have been rethinking the purpose of the dining room. Most families only use their dining rooms for infrequent entertaining, and, even then, it’s not critical. In New York City, a beautifully designed eat-in kitchen serves multiple purposes and frees space in the home for other uses. Otherwise, the dining table is where your laptop goes, or a place the kids can spread out and do homework—it’s the use case that changes whether the table’s still there or not. I think we’re seconds away from building power outlets into the dining table.” —Thomas Zoli

“The screened porch. We sometimes get pushback on the idea of screened porch because it’s not air-conditioned or heated. But that’s precisely their magic. You are protected from the elements—rain, bugs—but you are still in them. A fine, nearly invisible mesh between you and nature is just magical.” —Tom Kligerman

“Clients are also gravitating toward smaller guest suites without excess amenities. They want the rooms to be graciously efficient and comfortable, yet not encourage house guests to spend all their time in their rooms. We’re now designing more communal spaces for guests to gather, like a large hallway outside the bedroom suites with a comfortable seating area and television. A well-equipped office space dedicated to guests is also a thoughtful amenity in our age of remote work. It’s about guests interacting rather than isolating.” —Elizabeth Dillon

How can clients and architects have the best possible relationship?

“Like any relationship, openness and honesty. Not being afraid to say what you really think. Not being bashful. It doesn’t hurt our feelings if someone doesn’t like something; there’s always another idea. We prefer hearing that before going down a road on an idea the client never really wanted.” —Tom Kligerman

“Just like a marriage, building a house has its excitements and disappointments. And just like a marriage, if love and respect is there, the relationship can weather and thrive. At the basis of the relationship, we both need to like each other.” —Greg Tankersley

“There are so many minute details we need to know about the clients so that we can design a home that truly nurtures them. Sometimes clients feel vulnerable sharing their personal routines or how they want to use a space, or that they sleep in the nude and need to make sure their kids don’t see them when they first get up in the morning! These conversations can be awkward, so establishing a relationship in which both parties are at ease and trust each other with confidential or personal information is critical.” —Elizabeth Dillon

Sometimes, clients are hesitant to make certain decisions—both big and small—for fear of making the wrong decision. And, of course, time is money. How do you facilitate those impasses or moments of uncertainty?

“No decision is absolutely perfect. Drop that—perfection—from the vocabulary. Plus, there are thousands of choices on the road of building a house. Be intuitive and have fun with it. After all, you’ve made it to a successful point in your life where you can afford to build a house. You’re obviously not a complete idiot.” —Greg Tankersley

Are there any specific

elements

in a

home

that a client might want to economize

on,

but investing in the finest quality of that product will be best for the long term?

“If I had to pick one area in a house where it is important not to compromise, it's the windows. Buy the best quality window your budget will allow. Better to leave some other things out to ensure a good-looking house that will remain weathertight! And the best quality windows simply last longer. As a rule, better to go simple and highquality rather than an elaborate mix of lower quality.” —Tom Kligerman

“Part of our job is to present our clients with choices. We do that as early as possible— usually a moderately priced one, a more expensive one, and a “sky is the limit” choice: inexpensive tile versus marble tile versus marble slab, for example. Or stock doorknobs versus custom doorknobs. We do that far enough in advance so that a choice can be made without affecting the timeline.” —Tom Kligerman

“Spend money on anything that is authentic and real. Avoid products and impersonators of realness. Truth prevails and endures.”

—Greg Tankersley

“It’s the materials you touch every day—your kitchen countertops, wood floors, bathroom materials, stone, tile—that you want to invest the most in. Things you don’t touch or see every day are better for economizing.”

—Thomas Zoli

A FRESH START

HOW DO YOU CREATE A PRODUCTIVE CLIENT/DESIGNER RELATIONSHIP FROM THE VERY BEGINNING? CLIENTS CAN SOMETIMES COME INTO THE DESIGN PROCESS WITH CERTAIN ASSUMPTIONS THAT MIGHT BE ASKEW OR UNREALISTIC.

“You have to be a very good listener and listen to what they are actually saying instead of their words. Sometimes people say things but actually mean something else. Then guide them to where you think they want to be!” —Young Huh

“I have a rule I live by that always is best: Tell the truth. It is just best to share your honest and best advice with clients; always tell them what things cost, and give them a real time frame. I’m always asking everyone in the studio if they have told the clients anything challenging. It’s always the best plan.” —Thomas O’Brien

“For clients who are new to this, I take the time to walk them through each phase of the project, emphasizing that ‘design is a process’ throughout our conversation to reinforce the fact that creating and implementing design takes time. I also clarify that one aspect of my role as their designer is to guide them through this process and to find solutions to any roadblocks or challenges that may arise.” — Ahmad AbouZanat

ART SMART

SOMETIMES DESIGNERS CURATE ART COLLECTIONS IN TANDEM WITH THE INTERIOR DESIGN PROCESS. OTHER TIMES, CLIENTS HAVE A PASSION FOR COLLECTING AND HAVE PIECES (BOTH GOOD AND BAD), THAT NEED TO BE INTEGRATED. HOW DO YOU APPROACH EACH SCENARIO?

“We love being a part of the art process and build that involvement into our program and budget. Sometimes the client has art you don’t love, but it’s your job to make it work!” —Young Huh

“I’m always hopeful that I can find a way to engage clients to be confident about art. It’s important to find a first connection and find a special location. It’s about building confidence and ownership.”

—Thomas O’Brien

“At the beginning of the project, we take an inventory of our client’s existing art, and we incorporate it into our initial design schemes. But most of the time, we buy our clients their art, too. I worked at Sotheby’s before McMillen; I have spent my whole life at art fairs and galleries, building up my resources.” —Elizabeth Pyne Singer

“When curating an art collection for a client, I can control the narrative with the overall mood, sourcing pieces that the client may not have considered before, and help them get out of their comfort zone. When a client has an existing collection, it can help as a jumping off point with the design process, and I can seamlessly integrate my design with the client’s art. When the client doesn’t have ‘good’ art, or art that doesn’t fit the space, I stress the schematic design choices made and guide the client toward choosing a different piece.” —Rayman Boozer

AVOIDING THE WORD “TRENDS,” WHAT SHIFTS OR MOVEMENTS ARE YOU SEEING FOR INTERIOR DESIGN IN 2025? OR WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO SEE?

“More use of traditional design and techniques! More trims on trims! That’s the difference between a showroom and a decorator.”

—Young Huh

“I hope to see the use of more murals, whether they are hand-painted or wallpaper.” —Rayman Boozer

“There is definitely a return to collected and beautiful rooms. Bringing quiet elegance forward.”

—Thomas O’Brien

“I hope that people continue to want to do custom work.”

—Elizabeth Pyne Singer

WINDOWS

“The first step is to figure out what the room needs. Is it light softening? Is it more structure? Are the windows ugly and in need of lots of dressing? Then we go about problem solving! You may need pelmets, valances, motorized shades to make the windows and the room work.”

—Young Huh

“There are always more chosen fabrics to use in any room, so when clients do want curtains the whole room becomes so much more.”

—Thomas O’Brien

“I first begin with determining the function of the room and amount of light that comes through the window. Generally, I

like to layer sheers and blackout curtains; in this way, depending on the client’s needs, the amount of light, and privacy, can be controlled.” —Rayman Boozer

ALTHOUGH EACH OF YOUR PROJECTS IS DIFFERENT, WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH TO WINDOW TREATMENTS? WHERE DO YOU BEGIN?

“Window treatments are an important element in every project and require a dedicated budget to avoid results that feel like an afterthought. Since windows are typically at eye level, how they are dressed leaves a lasting impression. I love using a combination of roller shades that can completely disappear when not in use or blinds, paired with curtains that add texture, color, or pattern to the space, creating a balanced and visually appealing design.” —Ahmad AbouZanat

“We look at the interior architecture of the house or apartment to determine what would be the most appropriate window treatment. For instance, in a room where there is no wall or very little wall on one or both sides of the window, you cannot have curtains, no matter how much the decorator or client wants them!”

—Elizabeth Pyne Singer

IN THE DETAILS

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MOST SPECIAL OR UNIQUE DESIGN DETAILS YOU HAVE INCORPORATED INTO YOUR UPHOLSTERY?

“I love looking at Henri Samuel and Renzo Mongiardino’s work for the beautiful details: different ways of applying trim, cord, buttons. Basically, finding inventive ways to utilize passementerie takes a piece from pretty to outstanding.” —Young Huh

“To make a piece feel more unique and customized, I will often suggest adding a contracting welt or trim. I will also try and get custom-printed fabric so it’s a one-of-a-kind piece.” —Rayman Boozer

“Subtle but elegant choices, for welting, like cross grain or a fabric in companion color weaves, can make upholstery so tailored and beautiful.” —Thomas O’Brien

KITCHENS + BATHS

MATERIALS: Is there a flooring, countertop, or backsplash material that’s inspiring you now? Or one that you’re eager to use on a future project?

“I am a neat freak and a perfectionist, so for kitchen countertops I gravitate towards the most durable materials. If our clients really want to use marble, then we recommend that the stone be in a honed finish and that it have a lot of movement (veining) that will obscure marks and abrasions.” —Elizabeth Pyne Singer

“I’ve been wanting to use green stone tops for a while now, after seeing an all-green onyx kitchen and bar that I instantly fell in love with.” —Ahmad AbouZanat

FINISHES:

Are we mixing and matching or sticking to one style for consistency?

“I’m never afraid of mixed finishes, if thought through. Brass and bronze together is a favorite combination, but nickel and silver can offer highlights.” —Thomas O’Brien

“I like to mix brass and polished nickel together. It can create a lovely dialog in a space.”

—Rayman Boozer

“We are doing some kitchens now with a darker marble and wonderful handmade Japanese tiles and Italian or Moroccan terracotta floors.”

—Thomas O’Brien

LIGHTING:

What are the most common pitfalls people make with lighting that can easily be avoided?

“I find that people use white light bulbs when they should be using warm light bulbs. It will soften the space and make it not feel like a doctor's office.”

—Rayman Boozer

“You must get light bulbs with a color temperature of 2700k or warmer.”

—Elizabeth Pyne Singer

“Be sure to layer your lighting. Recessed lights are not enough! Have lamps, surface mounts, sconces.”

—Young Huh

“I’ve worked as a lighting product and project designer, and one of the most important elements in every project is creating different light scenes and scenarios based on the use of the space. Not every light has to be functional, and definitely not every light has to be decorative and for ambience purposes. Having the option to alternate between both is essential.” —Ahmad AbouZanat

SURFACES: Any unique applications you’re using: waterfall countertops on islands, unique countertop edge profiles?

“I like to use a mitered edge because it can make the countertop look like a thicker piece of stone.”

—Rayman Boozer

“I usually prefer an eased edge, 1¼” thick.” —Elizabeth Pyne Singer

“Years ago, I discovered a good set of elegant classical edge profiles for furniture tops spanning a few centuries. I always use these for countertop edges. Being so fine, they always look special and fresh.” —Thomas O’Brien

CEILINGS:

Often overlooked, how do you approach them?

“When considering the ceiling of a space, it should be treated as if it is one of the main four walls. In previous projects, I’ve added wallpaper, painted it a bold color, or very subtly painted the ceiling a super pale color complementary to the walls. It’s all about creating visual interest and how much and when.” —Rayman Boozer

“I am always tempted to do a fun finish or wallpaper on the ceiling, but I usually end up with white ceilings. I prefer to leave the drama to the elements of the room that are at eye level.” —Elizabeth Pyne Singer

“Elegant, low-profile but sleek crown molding is my favorite.”

—Thomas O’Brien

WALLS: Anything new for 2025?

“Wallpaper

that looks like plaster and giant custom murals.” —Young Huh

“A favorite room for most people can often be the upholstered one. We are doing several special bedrooms, and unique foyer spaces now.” —Thomas O’Brien

“I can tell you that in our current projects we are doing plaster, wallpaper, and upholstered walls. We are also doing some handpainted murals.” —Elizabeth Pyne Singer

How do you make a powerful statement in a powder room?

“A powder room is usually one of the smallest spaces to work on; it’s a great opportunity to use unique materials and finishes and splurge on lighting and fixtures, as we’re working with minimal quantities. Creating a room with a different personality and vibe than the remainder of the project. Something to make this small space memorable.” —Ahmad AbouZanat

“I

would suggest doing a unique wallpaper. It’s a small space, hidden, and really for your guest. Do a bold print, or have very saturated colors. Along with that, don’t be afraid to add one-of-a-kind lighting elements to help tie everything together.”

—Rayman Boozer

“Think of it as less of a bathroom and more a room. Very special lights, fine finishes, and charming art are the tools.” —Thomas O’Brien

Looking Ahead: What goes around comes

around. Are there any design eras enjoying a renaissance

“Art Deco seems to be one that’s always popping up one way or another. In my experience, it’s the style that both clients with traditional or modern taste are open to integrating.” —Ahmad AbouZanat

“Old school Mario Buatta—layers upon layers!” —Young Huh

“Weird is out; rooms that make sense and are beautiful are in. Never stopped believing in this.” —Thomas O’Brien

“We try to avoid creating interiors that look like any one era. But I do like to incorporate 18th-century elements into even the most contemporary of our projects.” —Elizabeth Pyne Singer

“I have been seeing a resurgence of fringes used on sofas. It’s very Parisian and Victorian.” —Rayman Boozer

People have a lot of stuff. How to you approach storage concepts for a home?

“Working in New York City, storage solutions have always been a main concern for every project regardless of the size and/or budget. When we’re dealing with a lot of stuff, I find it best that the storage solutions are integrated with the architectural solutions. In one of our projects, we had limitations as to how much we could modify the floor plan, but we were able to increase the client’s storage by approximately five times what they originally had.” —Ahmad AbouZanat

“Closets and cabinetry are the special permanent furniture of a home. The details and hardware are what make things perfect.” —Thomas O’Brien

“I like to add built-in bookshelves to help highlight the client’s collected objects but also add cabinets below, so there can still be items not always on display. The thing about adding millwork to a project is that it can be completely customized for the client’s needs.”

—Rayman Boozer

FINALLY… Every room should have…

“A Louis XV giltwood fauteuil.”

—Elizabeth Pyne Singer

“Something blue.” —Rayman Boozer

“Vessels, plural! They’re beautiful, decorative, and functional. Decorative vessels bring colors and textures to any space. They can be used as an added visual element, and to hold florals, or display fruits or candies. They’re objects that can be moved around to easily change the look of a decorated shelf, styled coffee table, or fixed console.” —Ahmad AbouZanat

“Taste and something personal.”

—Young Huh

“Something to make you curious.”

—Thomas O’Brien

READY TO BUY?

Pointers to keep in mind:

“With current mortgage rates higher, the math often favors buying now and refinancing later rather than waiting for a slight dip in rates and potentially paying a higher price. Don’t pass up on your dream home. It’s a cliche, but it’s true—date the rate, marry the house.”

—Ryan Serhant

How do you advise clients on whether to take the leap?

“What’s important is finding the right place for all of your needs, and that takes research, time, sometimes imagination and patience. In my world, taking the leap into real estate is a great investment and a great idea.” —Ryan Serhant

“I always encourage a buyer to be first with their offer. I think sellers can respond a bit more positively to someone that sees their property and comes in with a respectable offer early. Of course, every situation and every seller is different; however, overall, I like to be first at the table.” —Noble Black

“Long-term goals are a primary consideration as there are significant friction costs associated with buying and selling. If you are buying in a market where prices have been flat, you’ll fare better if you assume the property you are investing in will be suitable for at least the next five to seven years. In a market that’s experiencing excellent growth and low inventory, a shorter timeline may make sense.” —Cathy Taub

BIDDING WAR Best Strategy

“Information is key. Find out as much as possible: How many offers are there? Does the seller have any non-financial needs? Long or short closing? Purchase of furniture? Post-closing possession?” —Cathy Taub

“I always say your best bet is to make sure the other side feels like they’re winning. Sometimes, small concessions or understanding the seller’s needs can go a long way in securing the deal. It’s about creating a win-win situation where both parties feel satisfied with the outcome.” —Ryan Serhant

“Know the comps. Bid high enough that you don’t wish you pushed higher. If you lose, you can always try to offer more. An agent is required to submit all offers.” —Cathy Taub

“Go in with a price at which if you lose it, you’ll have no regrets as you’ll have put forward a sum representative of the home’s real worth to you. A bidding war is no time for a buyer to save money—make an offer on a less prime, more project-oriented property if that’s the objective.” —Noble Black

What kind of layout do clients want right now?

“Generally, we’re continuing to see a preference for open layouts and larger living spaces. More and more bedroom sizes, particularly for children’s bedrooms, which can be smaller if the living space is larger or if the home is in an amenity-rich building.” —Noble Black

“Buyers want modern design, oversized walk-in closets, and water or open views. There is a trend for homes to start feeling like the places you go on vacation, whether it’s through amenities that have music rooms or sunset views.” —Ryan Serhant

“Winged en suite bedrooms and five-fixture primary bathrooms. Natural light filtering in spaces is one of the top considerations.”

—Cathy Taub

“Open and spacious layouts remain on trend with well-equipped kitchens with islands with seating where friends and families can gather while food is being prepared.” —Cathy Taub

“Design towards livability and zen lifestyle vibes are hot right now. Our experience with buyers and relationships with developers is crucial, because we are able to credibly weigh in and let them know exactly what is being demanded in the market.” —Ryan Serhant

What is the best part about NY real estate?

“Finding new neighborhoods and buildings to invest in as they develop. New York City is the greatest city in the world, and it really is the most exciting real estate market. There is always a new building or a new neighborhood that’s trending and always something new to see, so no matter how much you think you know New York it will always find a way to surprise you.” —Ryan Serhant

“The best parts of New York real estate are the people we have the privilege of working with and the properties we’re able to see. Many of the former are leaders in their industry, and the latter includes some of the most spectacular real estate in the world.” —Noble Black

“There are all kinds of people and neighborhoods, myriad architectural styles, amazing museums, theatre, and endless culture. Whether you prefer a bustling urban setting or a quiet residential neighborhood, there is something for everyone in the vibrant and dynamic New York real estate market.” —Cathy Taub

When is the best time to make an offer?

“The best time to make an offer is as soon as you know you’re serious. Interest rates are high, inventory is low, and if you know you love something, it probably won’t be on the market for long. You can’t wait too long in today’s market and can’t be deterred by sticker shock.” —Ryan Serhant

“The best time to make an offer on a property is when you have thoroughly researched the market, are pre-approved for a mortgage, and have a clear understanding of your budget and priorities. It’s important to act quickly and decisively in a competitive market.”

—Cathy Taub

What are the components for a successful flip?

“Buying the product for the right price and renovating with a budget geared towards a successful exit. With that in mind, a flip can be a small studio or a large estate. Location is not even necessarily as important as the price the buyer pays.” —Noble Black

“Buy low. Sell high.” —Cathy Taub

“Having the eye to identifying a good property with exceptional qualities that cannot be changed like pre-war bones, great layout, location, natural light and ceiling heights. Old paint, oversized furniture, musty smells can all be tweaked with a budget for improvements. With some elbow grease and vision, you can prepare many mediocre homes to be incredible investment properties. It is about seeing the value through the chaos.”—Vickey Barron

HOT MARKETS (AREAS) IN NY

“There’s record breaking sales happening all the time. Areas like Greenpoint and Williamsburg are great because you can be on the water and get more space compared to Manhattan. You can commute to work via ferry, so it’s a very unique and appealing lifestyle.”

—Ryan Serhant

“In Manhattan, Greenwich Village continues to sizzle. In Brooklyn, besides Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, and Dumbo, Bed-Stuy is still seeing growth as is Fort Greene and points further east that benefit from mass transit. I’m betting on Ridgewood Queens. Follow the hot restaurants!”

—Cathy Taub

“There are several ‘hot’ markets in New York. Downtown continues to do well, especially the West Village. Even the Upper East Side, which has traditionally been slower, is incredibly busy for newly renovated and brand-new product.” —Noble Black

“We are seeing a ton of interest in Brooklyn. Brooklyn has neighborhoods, waterfront, city vibes and it has become its own destination—not just an outpost of Manhattan.”

—Ryan Serhant

How can you get the most out of renting your APARTMENT, CONDO, OR CO-OP?

“The key steps for preparing a home are decluttering, airing out, applying fresh paint, deep cleaning, using lightly scented (but not overwhelming) candles, playing music, and replacing broken lightbulbs. It’s also very important to tidy up your closets; cluttered and disorganized closets suggest insufficient space. Finally, the number of pillows on sofas (this is not the ’80s) should be reduced, and unnecessary furniture should be removed.” —Vickey Barron

“Spruce up the space with basics like window washing, painting, and a deep clean. Declutter. Vet prospects very carefully. Better to take a lower price from a great tenant than a higher price from a potential deadbeat or difficult tenant.” —Cathy Taub

Mortgage rates are higher now than in the past 20 years: Is it still a good time to buy?

“Yes, it’s a great time to buy. The best strategy is to look and buy now. By the time a buyer closes, rates are likely to be slightly lower and they can always refinance for a lower rate. Low inventory levels coupled with pent-up demand means prices are unlikely to decrease and, as rates get cut, more likely to increase. Intentionally waiting for lower rates could very well end up costing a buyer more.”

—Noble

Black

“It is true that they are higher now, which opens an opportunity to have less competition when bidding, if the rates don’t come down, you will be happy you purchased. If they do go down, you can always refinance.” —Vickey Barron

“Yes! It’s a buyer’s market in many NYC locations and interest rates

are coming down.”

—Cathy Taub

How do you best prepare for a showing?

“Declutter, depersonalize, deep clean. Paint. Make large and small repairs to maximize showing appeal. Neutralize the space. Consider staging. First impressions matter! A lot.”

—Cathy Taub

“It’s essential to create a space that potential buyers or renters can envision themselves living in, so limit family photos, trinkets, and clutter. It’s helpful to keep your apartment tidy at all times in case a lastminute showing presents itself. This way, you won’t have to rush to clean, which can be stressful and unnecessary.”

—Vickey Barron

“I want to ensure the apartment and myself present as well as we can. For me, that means knowing all the facts about the property as well as pertinent comps and trends in the market.” —Noble Black

What should a client know before starting the search?

“Clients should know their budget, location, must-have features, and realistic financing expectations. Priorities typically crystallize and often shift once the search is underway and clients have a better understanding of what is available to them given their budget.” —Cathy Taub

“The client must know what they can spend. They should have spoken with their financial advisors and a mortgage broker if they intend to finance. Following these elements, they need to understand the market and the comps or enlist a broker they trust in possession of this knowledge and insight.” —Noble Black

“Review property listings and compare them carefully. Remember, not all two-bedroom properties are the same. Some have additional amenities, elevators, or require walking upstairs. Understand why certain properties sell faster than others and follow those patterns. Have your agent guide you and provide you with the necessary information so that when it’s time to select your home, you’ll get the real value.” —Vickey

Barron

When is the sweet spot for shopping for

NEW YORK REAL ESTATE?

“The sweet spot is to be the first in or the last out.”

—Vickey Barron

“While we see the newest inventory in the Spring, opportunities for buyers exist in the slower summer months when there is less competition, and sellers may have grown tired of waiting.” —Cathy Taub

“The ‘sweet spot’ for buying NY real estate is really when the buyer is ready. That’s far more important than seasonality. It’s far more important that a buyer is able and ready to move quickly when they see the property they want.” —Noble Black

“During August and the holidays when people are vacationing and there is less competition. It may not be a great time to list, but it’s excellent to buy. When they go vacationing, I go shopping!” —Vickey Barron

OUTDOOR LIVING OUTDOOR LIVING

From a couple of planters to a patio filled with pots to a multiacre plot, it’s easy to go green even if you’ve never gotten your hands in the dirt before. Just follow the expert advice from our region’s top landscape designers, and your garden, large or small, will thrive.

What’s your best advice for first-time gardeners?

“Don’t overwhelm yourself—gardens are meant to bring joy, not stress. It’s easy to get ahead of yourself, especially in places like the Hamptons and New York City, where expectations can run high. However, the best approach is to formulate a simple, achievable plan and stick to it. Gardens require patience, as they take time to mature and reach their full potential. Remember, a garden that thrives years down the line is far more rewarding than one that’s rushed.”

“Don’t try and do it all in one shot, especially when you haven’t really lived in the environment that you’re trying to garden in. Take a breath and see truthfully what you’re going to like.”

—James C. Grimes

“My advice for first-time gardeners is to start small and learn to work with and care for plants before jumping into a complex design. A great way to start is with seasonal plants in decorative containers that can be changed throughout the year. I love to plant our urns with hellebores, primrose, and violas in spring, then replace that with a summer planting of rosemary topiaries (or other upright plants) combined with a trailing annual. Starting with a simple planting like that is a great way to get into gardening.”

—Anthony Bellomo

“Because I’m in an artificial landscape arena, most people are looking for a maintenance-free solution. A lot of people I deal with in New York City tend to move around a lot and want to create environments that won’t need any caretaking or watering. The goal is to make them look the same from month to month.”

—Garry Wade

What Do Clients Want Now?

“Sustainable Gardens. More clients are requesting eco-friendly, sustainable designs that incorporate native plants and require minimal water.

Outdoor Entertaining Spaces. There’s a growing demand for patios, terraces, and outdoor dining areas, complete with fire pits, comfortable seating, and ambient lighting.

Water Features. Whether it’s a simple fountain or a grand pond, clients are drawn to water elements that add serenity and movement to the garden.

Low-Maintenance Landscapes. Busy clients are leaning toward easy-care plants and landscapes that don’t require constant attention.

Year-Round Interest. Gardens that look great in every season are becoming a priority. Evergreens, winterblooming plants, and structure-focused designs are in demand.” —Michael Derrig

Which

“I’ve come to understand that what people are looking for in most situations is privacy. People are looking to create environments that don’t require maintenance and also give them a sense of privacy.” —Garry Wade

“A more natural simplistic design that isn’t overburdened with color.”

—James C. Grimes

“Beautifully clipped hedges seem to be one thing my clients really appreciate. Because hedges are living, they provide a sense of lushness you just can’t obtain with fencing, and hedges are a great way to create privacy, define garden spaces, and add great framework to a garden all year round.” —Anthony Bellomo

plants are demanding but absolutely

worth the effort?

“Roses are often considered high-maintenance but pay off with their unparalleled beauty and fragrance. They require careful pruning, feeding, and attention to pests, but their long-lasting blooms and ability to transform a garden are worth every bit of effort.”

—Michael Derrig

“I’ve always felt there is no chicer plant than a classically trained Myrtle topiary. They can sometimes be demanding due to their need for regularly watering, but are so good looking I find hem well worth the routine maintenance.” —Anthony Bellomo

“Japanese maples are also somewhat finicky, needing the right amount of sunlight and water, but their striking foliage and color make them a stunning addition to any landscape.”—Michael Derrig

“If they’re demanding, they typically aren’t worth the effort. Another plant I love, jack-inthe-pulpit, is a springtime wonder that climbs up out of the soil; there are some really cool varieties that are Japanese and Chinese in origin. It’s worth the effort if you let them do their thing. They’re pretty reliable and come back every year.” —James C. Grimes

Which plants are great low-maintenance choices but still add character to a landscape?

“In a lot of situations with balconies, there’s nothing on them; they’re pretty much just a blank canvas. It’s important to have a conversation with people, asking what they like and what they want to achieve. A lot of people purchase outdoor furniture; they want something to fit in with the garden furniture, to break up the space.” —Garry

Wade

“When

we discuss plants with clients, it’s a little like going to a dog show. They ask: ‘What does it do? Does it flower? Does it have nice foliage? Does the bark peel?’”

—James C. Grimes

“Liriope is an excellent choice for borders, offering year-round greenery and elegant, subtle purple flowers that bloom in late summer. It’s hardy and requires very little maintenance, making it a favorite for both professionals and beginners.” —Michael Derrig

“I’m a big fan of using hardy succulents in planters, stuck between stones in a garden wall, or along a steppingstone path. There is a tremendously wide range of colors, textures, and shapes available, and they need very little water, so maintenance is essentially nonexistent.”

—Anthony Bellomo

LIRIOPE

SUCCULENTS

Do you have a go-to perennial or annual that you like to use?

“For annuals, dahlias are my favorite. They’re perfect for cutting gardens and offer an abundance of vibrant blooms throughout the season. As for perennials, hydrangeas are a go-to. The ‘Endless Summer’ variety blooms repeatedly all summer, while white ‘Annabelle’ and ‘Tardiva’ hydrangeas provide a delicate charm later in the season.” —Michael Derrig

“Some of the time, clients may already have live plants in planters on their balconies, annuals or perennials, and they are looking to have something behind the real-life plants. The other day, a client with live plants wanted to put something behind them that is artificial, that will give a sense of privacy. I work with regular landscape companies; we have a client that loves his plants but wants to put in a backdrop for the live plants. Sometimes we use boxwood or sometimes something a bit more tactile, more of an artificial wall, a cumulation of different types of plants.” —Garry Wade

“I like a whole bunch of tropicals; I use a lot of succulents and sedums. I use topicals if I’m doing something in containers.”

—James C. Grimes

“There are so many plants I adore, it’s hard to narrow the list, but a go-to perennial I use over and over is Lady’s Mantle (Alchemilla). It’s fantastic at the front of a border or along a path, and when it blooms in late spring/early summer I love the billowing chartreuse flowers. A great annual that I use every year is Salvia. The annual salvias come in a fantastic range of jewel tone colors, bloom all season, and by the end of summer can be quite large and wonderful.” —Anthony

Bellomo

DAHLIA

LADY'S MANTLE

Are there any native plants that you tend to incorporate into your work?

“For coastal environments, which are common in the Hamptons, cedar trees thrive in salty conditions, as do Rosa rugosa, American beach grass, Montauk daisies, bayberry, and American irises. Using native plants ensures the garden is resilient and suited to the environment.” —Michael Derrig

“I love using ferns, and the native varieties do so well in our woodland and shaded areas of the garden. A sea of ferns punctuated with a few flowering woodland perennials can be magical. There is a fern called Christmas Fern that stays green year-round, and it’s all over the woodlands in our area. It’s great to see that bit of green during the winter when so much else is brown.” —Anthony Bellomo

“I use common blue stem a lot in design, butterfly weed, switchgrass; I use a lot of grasses. I come from an environment here which is somewhat grass dominant, and I like the fact that it is a changing landscape that doesn’t really come awake until Memorial Day. There are constant changes through the season into fall, and the grass on a large scale really generates incredible fall color.” —James C. Grimes

“Yes, I often use the Blue Mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum) for its soft, elegant purple blooms, which add texture and a pop of color to a landscape. When it comes to native trees, I love using different varieties of hornbeam, as they adapt well to our local climate.” —Michael Derrig

What plants do you prefer for a terrace?

“For terraces, I love incorporating jasmine for its fragrant blooms and gardenias for their elegant white flowers. Boxwoods and Japanese maples are also excellent choices for container planting—they can be pruned into interesting shapes, adding structure and greenery. For a burst of vibrant color, Tibouchina is a fantastic option with its striking purple flowers. Including plants and trees that offer year-round interest is also a good idea. Red twig dogwoods and red stem Japanese maples stand out with their vibrant branches, providing color throughout the year. Another favorite is the Hinoki cypress, which can be shaped into whimsical forms and is slow growing, making it easy to maintain.”

—Michael Derrig

“I think most of the time people are looking for something that’s familiar: usually boxwood or boxwood bushes, laurel bushes, I suppose ferns. Having palm trees and exotic plants in New York City doesn’t really fit with the general aesthetic. Usually, my recommendation is to stay with a species type that is geared to a location.” —Garry Wade

“If it’s a paved terrace, it usually means it can be hot, especially if the terrace is in full sun. I tend to use large planters on terraces, which help to define the corners of the space and provide a soft layer against outdoor furniture arrangements. Larger planters need watering less, so they are great for plants on terraces, and I typically like to use something large an upright in the planters— many times I make use of shrubs such us upright boxwood or tree hydrangeas, and then underplant those forms with annuals that provide bloom, texture, and a trailing habit to soften the planter edges.” —Anthony Bellomo

BLUE MISTFLOWER

Are there any evergreens or other plants that you like to use for year-round interest?

“Boxwoods are my go-to choice for year-round greenery. They retain their shape and vibrant color throughout all seasons, and their adaptability to pruning allows them to be shaped into playful forms like spheres, adding a touch of charm to any garden. Their versatility makes them a key element in many of my designs. Similarly, Hinoki cypress is another favorite evergreen. Its ability to be shaped into intriguing and unusual forms offers a unique focal point in the garden, providing interest and beauty year-round.”

—Michael Derrig

“I love hollies, which is a plant that is native and natural to this area. Some native pines I love, but there are a lot of challenges that are coming with insect issues. I still end up sneaking in rare, unusual evergreens.”

—James C. Grimes

“I do use a lot of boxwood because it clips so well, and the deer don't bother it. My two favorite varieties of boxwood are Green Mountain and Green Velvet. A great deciduous shrub for year-round interest is Witch Hazel because it blooms in winter and has a great fall color. I also love Viburnums for their spring bloom, and then fall color and berries.” —Anthony Bellomo

BOXWOODS

WITCH HAZEL

Vegetable and herb gardens are popular. ANY TIPS?

“Plant what you know you’ll use the most. It’s easy to get carried away, but you don’t want to end up with more produce than you can handle. For instance, if you love cooking with fresh herbs, prioritize planting those. If tomatoes are a favorite, plan how you’ll use or preserve them by the end of the season to avoid waste.” —Michael Derrig

“A cool thing about vegetables is that you don’t need a large area to have a large vegetable and herb garden. I have a vegetable and herb garden; I do tomatoes in barrels, and my vegetable garden is probably about 8xx16. One of the things I enjoy most is starting vegetables in the spring, I love planting lettuce seed and getting the whole sequence going. I love salad greens and lettuces, and beyond eating them I get into vegetable gardens that look good. I like multi-colored carrots.” —James C. Grimes

“My grandfather had a very large vegetable garden, which inspired me to garden when I was growing up. His was very much a traditional Victory Gardenstyle vegetable plot, a big rectangle with everything in straight furrowed rows. My approach is to treat a vegetable and herb garden the same way one might lay out a formal garden, so I like the idea of creating a series of beds crisscrossed with paths, and I love intermingling cutting flowers and herbs amongst the various vegetables so it reads like a beautiful garden rather than something just utilitarian.” —Anthony Bellomo

CONTAINER GARDENS ARE POPULAR.

How do you incorporate them into your designs?

“Containers are great for paved spaces, such as terraces, and small spaces like balconies. I also think flanking a main entranceway with planters is a great way to create a focal point that can change with the seasons.” —Anthony Bellomo

“Container gardens usually end up being almost the last thing you’re thinking about, or deck spaces. Make them a little more homey and more organic. For me I’m not trying to marry it into the surrounding environment. I will use some really funky stuff when I’m doing container gardens. Pitcher plants? People don’t even know they exist. Not only do they exist, but they’re native to our own area. There’s a lot of unique stuff you can use in container gardens. Most of my clientele have weekend homes, and the challenge with container gardening is how these things get watered. We use a lot of succulent and cacti because there is color and texture, but the biggest benefit is that it’s minimal care. They’re the closest thing to plastic you can get, since you can skip a weekend and they’re still alive.” —James C. Grimes

“A

lot of the times, when people have container gardens, they’re already pretty established. If they ask us to come in, we usually create perimeters because of a wind issue, or they want to create shadows somewhere, or give it more of a country vibe.”

—Garry Wade

What is something that can be done in the garden right now that will pay off big dividends in the future?

“A

premise

for us to sell something to a

client

is to

push

the

longevity of the products that we use. Privacy in urban environments is key; people want spaces to escape to. If someone wants to do something that would pay off long-term, give them a happy place to go to, because that’s usually what people are trying to do in the city.” —Garry Wade

“Incorporating elements like pergolas and water features can greatly enhance your garden’s character and charm, transforming it into a space of enduring beauty. As these features age, they add depth and appeal to your garden environment. For example, climbing vines paired with an elegant pergola create a stunning effect that becomes more captivating over time. Regular maintenance is crucial to keeping your outdoor space vibrant and functional. Proper property maintenance is essential to preserving the longevity and utility of your outdoor space.” —Michael Derrig

“One proactive measure you can take now to reap future benefits is enhancing your soil quality through composting and the addition of organic nutrients. Composting plays a vital role in enriching the soil with essential organic matter and nutrients, laying a strong foundation for vigorous plant growth as spring approaches. I cannot emphasize this enough: compost, compost, compost! These soil amendments not only improve soil structure but also provide valuable nutrients that will decompose over winter, setting the stage for robust and thriving growth.” —Michael Derrig

“I’m always an advocate for creating a master plan for a property so time isn’t wasted installing plantings that then have to be altered later as the plan evolves. Once a master plan is in pace the best approach is to start with the planting of trees, particularly if hedging is desired, as these things take time to get started. You can’t go wrong planting a tree now, so that it can be enjoyed for years to come as it matures.” —Anthony Bellomo

“Additionally, consider planting fall bulbs such as daffodils, crocuses, and alliums at this time. These bulbs will reward you with a spectacular display of early blooms when spring arrives, adding to the beauty and vibrancy of your garden.” —Michael Derrig
