Home Renovation

Whether you want to expand your kitchen, reorganize your space or combine two apartments, CjDesignNYC will create plans to meet your needs functionally and beautifully. From construction drawings to custom cabinet design, lighting design, finish selection and furnishing, we offer complete design services.

Lighting Design

In any interior, good lighting design requires many types of light fixtures to create atmosphere, enhance architecture, or make art and furnishings come alive. At the same time it must serve essential functional requirements. We create lighting plans that specify everything from task, recessed and cove lighting to antique chandeliers and custom contemporary fixtures.

Bath and Kitchen Design

Kitchens and baths are complex orchestrations of layout, materials, fixtures, and architectural elements. Whether you want custom designed cabinetry, semi-custom cabinet systems, or stock vanities, we will enhance both the function and beauty of your new kitchen or bath.

Architectural Detailing

We will create special architectural details for your home such as fireplace mantels, window seats, ceiling treatments, stair railings, custom mouldings and floor designs. The harmonious integration of these details is what turns an average interior into a strikingly beautiful

home.

Furniture Planning

The essential first step in furnishing any space is to draw a furniture plan. By thoroughly assessing your needs and desires, as well as considering the constraints of the space itself, we will create a plan that specifies the types of pieces to be used, their scale, and placement.

Furniture Selection

Our approach to furnishing begins with the selection of unique items that will become focal points in the space. These may include vintage or antique pieces, carpets, art, or modern pieces that set a tone and create a distinct style. These also serve to determine the palette of materials. Additional furnishings are then selected or designed to enhance the already established style.

We offer complete art consultation services. We will "start with the art" by finding a great piece for you as a focus of interest and then create a room around it. Or, we will "fill in the blanks" with works of art that are fun, visually stimulating, thought provoking, or stunningly beautiful. We also offer consultation on placement, framing and displaying your existing artwork. Look for future web sections on these services.

When that special piece is not available on the market or what's out there is just not right, we will create a custom design. Whether you want a piece that functions in a particular way, fits a specific location, or needs to be uniquely styled, we will create something for you that will suit the purpose in any material or finish.

Selecting a complementary palette of materials is the key to the creation of style. From wood, tile, glass, metal and stone to paint color, carpet and fabrics, material selection is critical to overall appearance. Whether you want a neutral palette or are yearning for color in your life, we will give your interior the sophisticated custom treatment you are looking for.

We can turn an average set of windows into a focal point, give you control over light and privacy, or separate one area from another and do it all functionally and beautifully. We offer creative solutions to a host of needs through the use of drapery fabrics, shades, blinds, or shutters.

Are you about to build a new home with plans from your architect or builder? Unsure how the empty rooms will meet your needs or unable to make the necessary decisions? We will create a 'living plan' prior to construction that will include a complete furnishing layout. This service helps you to decide where the cable TV connection should go or what architectural adjustments will make your home right for you.

Our commercial work has included lobbies, reception areas, executive offices, and conference rooms as well as retail and trade showrooms. In all of our projects there is a strong focus on creating an environment that both attracts people and functions for those who use it. We employ a keen sense for atmosphere as well as a clear eye for product enhancement.
