Luxury and elegance are two keywords to her work. Offering personalized service, very detail-oriented with a talent for blending her personal style with the client’s wishes to help them create the homes of their dreams. Along with her team of other designers and experienced trades that stand behind the quality of all the services, the firm specialized in turn-key residential interiors, new constructions, renovations, home solutions, and custom window treatments.
Who sees all the successful luxurious projects done, have no idea of how much effort it takes to get there. The most challenging time in her career is now, she believes, with the increasing visibility and demand situation, as well as dealing with the supply.
“The only thing we can do now is be honest and straightforward with everyone. I never would imagine that I would say to my clients: ‘you are going to get your custom sofa next year’”

DESIGN TRENDS
Along with the fashion industry, design is also influenced by time, context, and trends. After so long, the reign of neutral tones is giving space to colors. Accordingly to Yelena, they are coming back in a lot of different materials like paint, stone, and cabinetry, which makes her excited: “I got pretty bored, looking at the white kitchens with white stone for a while. The use of natural woods, cerusing and my favorite is ombre effect in fabrics, wall-covering, and furniture”

VIEWS OF THE FUTURE
After she finishes the current projects, like a contemporary penthouse in Florida, a real castle, and an Art Deco mansion in New Jersey, the plan is to finish a furniture line that should be ready to launch by the fall of 2022. And also to make a few exciting collaborations: because of covid, a lot of people re-evaluated their living arrangements: “Comfortable and beautiful spaces, well-made furniture is no longer a luxury, but rather a necessity. Consumers started to appreciate craftsmanship and details that go into each peace more than ever”.
On top of that, she confesses: one of her biggest dreams is to create a product/service that would be niched to a particular demographic group like a male audience. Partner with large retailers, become a household name, to create her own line of furniture. “I feel like I have achieved a lot, but because of my ambitious personality I always dream of more”.
