Business Details
Your Trusted Interior Design Partner in New York City
I founded Monique Gibson Interior Design with a commitment to creating deeply personal spaces that reflect each client's unique story. My career began in Atlanta, Georgia, where I co-founded Dilger Gibson, a firm that gained international recognition after designing Elton John's homes featured in Architectural Digest. Since establishing my own practice in New York City, I've cultivated a reputation for listening intently to clients and translating their visions into functional, beautiful environments. My work spans diverse projectsfrom London townhouses to island retreatseach approached with the same philosophy of personalized design. Recognized on the AD 100 list and Elle Decor A-List, I bring over two decades of experience to every project. My atelier near the Metropolitan Museum of Art serves as both a creative hub and a testament to my dedication to client relationships, which often evolve into lasting friendships.I prioritize transparency, collaboration, and a joyful process that results in spaces where clients feel truly at home. The firm's growth through word-of-mouth referrals underscores my commitment to exceeding expectations. Featured in global publications, my work balances timeless elegance with modern functionality. Whether designing a city loft or a country estate, I focus on how people live, ensuring each space tells their story. This approach has earned recognition in 'A Century of Style,' a milestone publication celebrating Architectural Digest's 100th anniversary. I remain dedicated to the belief that great design emerges from understanding clients' lives, not imposing trends.

Questions
What design styles do you specialize in?
We don't follow specific styles—we create personalized spaces that reflect how clients live. Our approach adapts to individual preferences, whether modern, traditional, or eclectic.
Do you work on projects outside New York?
Yes, we've completed projects globally including London townhouses, Charleston penthouses, and island retreats. Our process accommodates long-distance collaborations through virtual consultations and site visits.
How do you begin a design project?
We start with an in-depth consultation at our atelier near the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This initial meeting focuses on understanding your lifestyle, preferences, and vision before developing tailored design concepts.
Are your services affordable for standard homes?
While we've worked with celebrities, our services apply equally to private residences of all scales. Pricing reflects project complexity rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
How long does a typical project take?
Timelines vary by project scope. A full home renovation typically takes 12-18 months, while smaller projects like single rooms can complete in 3-6 months, including design and implementation phases.
