Design Matters

We hired Faten for our apartment renovation in Chelsea, NY. From the outset, she demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise and creativity that far exceeded our expectations. Faten was instrumental in helping us completely overhaul our new apartment, including the installation of a stunning new kitchen by Poggenpohl. Her keen eye for detail was evident in every aspect of the project, from the meticulous selection of furniture to the overall aesthetic of the space. Another aspect of Faten’s service that we greatly appreciated was her skill in coordinating with contractors. She took care of checking the quality of the contractors' work, down to the last detail, and helped us keep delays ...Read More

Faten and team were an absolute dream to work with. As a busy working professional, I did not have time to follow the entire design and construction process, but wanted to ensure high level results. Faten was able to take over design and oversee construction, which made things so much easier for me. Her vision was a perfect match to my taste and her eye for construction issues and details was second to none. I would highly recommend Studio 1820 to anyone looking for high end results and minimal construction stress.Read More

I HIGHLY recommend working with Faten. I found Faten on Houzz a for a living room update; help with the layout, rug, couches, coffee table.

After our initial email exchanges, she worked on a game plan to provide several living room layouts to match my goals/use of the room. She came over to take measurements and once a layout was selected, she put together multiple options for me to choose from for each piece of furniture. It was an effortless process for me as she continued to pick options until a full plan was agreed upon tha...Read More
