ELEVATED BUT COZY

Caitlin McGilvery Home is a comprehensive design and décor studio offering services to homes in the New York Area and beyond. Whether you need a simple styling update, a room makeover, or a complete redesign, Caitlin is here to collaborate with you to enhance your daily living with beauty, ease, and comfort.

Our core design tenants - 

  • A space should feel collected, layered, & curated

  • It shouldn’t all feel bought from the same store the same day.  A home takes time to build, both literally and figuratively

  • Mixing high with low & new with old is the best approach 

  • A space should be built to be lived in. It’s okay if you leave your coffee maker and your dog bed out if you want to! Being functional for your everyday life is more important than looking picture perfect.

  • Art should make you happy! If something makes you smile every time you see it, but doesn’t necessarily fit the vibe, it’s okay - that smile is more important.

Primary Bedroom Refresh

This bedroom redesign project blends rich colors and unique accents to infuse personality while maintaining a tranquil and serene atmosphere. Soft, calming tones are complemented by pops of rich hues, creating a balanced space that feels both fun and restful. Thoughtful details, like textured fabrics and carefully selected artwork, bring warmth and individuality, ensuring the room remains a peaceful retreat.

Lake Tahoe Toddler

Work-in-Progress

This room design-in-progress for a toddler boy in Lake Tahoe seamlessly incorporates existing furniture while creating a playful yet timeless space that will grow with him. Inspired by the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains, the design features earthy tones, woodland-inspired decor, and subtle pops of color, offering a cozy and adventurous atmosphere. Flexible pieces, like a convertible crib and adjustable storage, ensure the room can evolve as he grows, transitioning from a toddler’s sanctuary to a young boy's retreat. Thoughtful details, such as wall decals and non-traditional shelving, add personality while allowing for easy updates as his interests evolve.

Brooklyn Nursery

Work-in-Progress

This nursery in Brooklyn Heights blends gender-neutral blues and yellows with grandmillennial and preppy design elements. Classic gingham, whimsical prints, and stripes create a timeless yet youthful vibe, while traditional furniture and touches of brass and wicker add warmth and charm. The result is a stylish, cozy space that will grow with the child.
