About Us

“A well-designed home needs to do more than look sophisticated.

It should envelop you with warmth every time you walk in the door.”

—Estelle Weiss

Are you . . .

A first-time homebuyer who needs help selecting furnishings that fit perfectly?

An empty nester who recently downsized and wants to update your new space?

A homeowner in need of a stylish aging-in-place redesign for your forever home?

When we collaborate to realize your vision, every element in your space is inspired by you from the flooring to the furniture,  the cabinets to the countertops, the window treatments to the wallpaper.

Welcome to Estelle Weiss Designs, a full-service interior design firm in Manhasset, NY, where I take you on an exciting, life-changing and stress-free journey, designing your space in beautiful colors, fabrics, textures and design elements tailored to fit your lifestyle.

I’m Estelle. It’s a pleasure to meet you.

I find delight in creating comfortable spaces that reflect your personal style, design goals and vision. No decision is ever made without your input, no matter how small. Whether you need to furnish a custom house, remodel a new or existing home or redesign a single room, you and your family will always be considered in every aspect of the design journey from the kickoff meeting to the reveal.

 

I have a passion for fabric and tile, and exploring wallpaper is my happy place.

My Professional Background

I graduated from Adelphi University, Long Island University, CW Post Campus and Metropolitan Institute of Interior Design. I am an allied member of the ASID, a professional member of the IDS and a Board Member of the Long Island Chapter and a member of NKBA. Before I entered the field of interior design, my career path was as diverse as my clients. Earning several advanced degrees, I fulfilled roles in helping professions such as public relations, education and finance.

My strengths included managing projects, overseeing budgets and facilitating time management. It wasn’t long before my superiors discovered my creative skillset, and I was called upon to design a building lobby, furnish a tennis registration house, apply the finishing touches to a women’s health center and work side by side with architects.

My corporate background in project management, budgeting, time management and color and design provided me with a solid foundation for making vital decisions as an interior designer and project manager, including:

  • Overseeing contractors and vendor schedules
  • Fulfilling orders and procurement
  • Maintaining client budgets
  • Creating color palettes and selecting design elements
  • Collaborating with contractors to come up with out-of-the-box solutions when product or construction issues arise during renovations
  • Ensuring that everything comes together smoothly on installation day.

Education

  • BS and MA from Adelphi University
  • PD from LIU, CW Post Campus
  • Diploma from Metropolitan Institute of Interior Design
  • Continuing education to stay ahead of design and industry trends

Working with an Interior Designer

Enlisting the help of a designer is an investment in your home, and it’s essential to find the right professional. As an interior designer, I help clients avoid costly mistakes in planning. 

When you hire me, you’ll have access to a network of hundreds of vendors where I can source materials, furnishings and fixtures, many not available to the general public. I can show you many items you would have never been able to consider. It’s an opportunity to find stunning one-of-a-kind items that could look perfect in your home.

“Working with Estelle was wonderful. Five-star rating! She transformed a bare 10×10 enclosed sunroom into a palace. It’s my favorite room in our house. Estelle was super responsive, creative, flexible and organized. She had a vision for a design and incorporated our personal styles and needs into the finished product. She used various textures and materials, which made it so unique. Furthermore, we got a new puppy in January, and it’s his favorite room in the house as well!  Can’t say enough about her talent and design skills. Estelle is capable of converting any given space into a masterpiece. I can’t wait to work on another project together.”  — Debra K, Great Neck
