Projects

Current design trends are calling dark blue the new black. Transmit energy into any space by indulging in color.



The overall ambiance of this room is homey, understated, and non-jarring. It uses a mix of vertical lines with more restful horizontal lines, and gentle curves are seen in furniture, pillows, and accessories.



Animal print fabrics are a great accent for any room that needs pizzazz.



Accessories give a room its personality. Whether it’s art or a potted plant or a table lamp, it’s your story.



This harmonious blue and yellow dining room with blue being versatile and yellow adding warmth is perfect for any dinner party.



Perhaps because blue is the color of both the sky and the sea it evokes clarity and purity. In the home, blue as a backdrop is immediately calming and welcoming.



There is no better way to set the course of your home’s interior experience than to do it through the entry hall. If you want your visitors to get a warm yet sophisticated feel for your home, then you have to make your entry hall a classic elegant design.



This transitional home tends to take a casual approach to gathering for meals and is enhanced with amazing garden views.



This transitional bedroom has layers of blue tones and white accents to give it a pop.



Yellow is the most cheerful color of the rainbow, it adds a lighthearted touch to any bedroom.



Blue may be the ultimate bedroom color. It's subtle without looking boring, it's serene and calming, and it works with most styles.



This “modern” turquoise retro chair takes its stylistic influences from more recent decades, like the 1970s through the 90s.



An abundance of natural light enhances any room, making you happier, healthier and calmer. And, in the bedroom natural light improves your sleep.



We created a light and airy living room with calming blues, patterned fabrics, hardwood flooring and ivory rugs.



This blue living room has a calming, stabilizing effect; blue is timeless and versatile, reminiscent of the night and deep sea.



The key to a summer makeover is light fabrics, bright colors and even a touch of beach-inspired decor. Be bold and combine colors with intriguing textures to create a living space that really captures your meaning of the season.

Testimonials

"Scott Sanders gave our New York apartment a fresh and more modern look. He selected new furniture; refurbished existing pieces; chose new wall, window, and floor treatments; and consulted on the purchase of new art and reframing of existing artwork. Scott was always professional, organized, and well prepared for our meetings. He completed the project on time and on budget. We love our new look!" - Lynne Weinberg

"I've worked with Scott Sanders for over 15 years. During that time, and continuing today, we've worked together on my city and beach homes; through both construction and design. Each home has its own distinctive look, with the City being more classical, and the beach more modern. Scott and I continue to work together on projects in both homes. Scott is incredibly professional, has a keen eye towards detail, and has beautiful taste. It is an absolute pleasure working with Scott." - kuhnsdune

"I have worked with Scott for over 15 years, styling numerous projects for Scott and his clients. His clients are always enthusiastic and excited by Scott's designs- many if not most are return customers. He is professional, thorough and has a keen eye for detail.  Many times I have seen Scott create environments that are inviting, beautiful and most importantly livable." - sean2936

"I highly recommend Scott Sanders! He and his team transformed our home into beautiful, inviting and comfortable indoor and outdoor spaces that my entire family loves. Scott listened, paid attention to even the smallest details and worked tirelessly and patiently to find the perfect solutions for us. Scott is an extremely talented designer who really cares about his clients." - Leslie Cooleen

"Scott has a gift for creating comfortable, stylish, timeless interiors, and his skilled use of color pleases young and old alike. A cocoon of a purple-and-white child’s bedroom, for example, might get hundreds of thousands of views, largely because any child in the world would want to curl up there with grandma and a favorite bedtime book." - Rusk Renovations

"Our family has enjoyed 18 years of working with Scott on many successful projects, including 4 hotels and numerous private residences.

"As a wallpaper and painting contractor, I have worked with Scott on numerous jobs and find him to be super organized and very professional. He has a great sense of style and can transform the ordinary into something truly beautiful. A true gentleman with top notch standards!" - avilakb674

"Having collaborated with Scott and his team on a few occasions I have found them to be exceptionally professional and talented. Scott produces custom interiors that are both beautiful and functional." - Michael Smith Architects

"I work for Mecox, a national, luxury home furnishing retailer. I have known Scott in various ways over my tenure. As Scott Sanders LLC. I worked with Scott and his team, in this case he, as the "client". I have found Scott to be kind, professional, level headed, in possession of an unparalleled eye, and ultra talented in both residential and hospitality projects. He and his team are detailed oriented and methodical when it comes to the "nuts and bolts" of the business- keeping orders on track and product installed on time. I also know Scott as a Mecox "collaborator". On multiple occasions he has styled our windows in our New York City and East Hampton locations. His windows are always creative, thematic, colorful and eye catching. We know they have brought new people into the store and highlighted Mecox product in inspired, bold ways. Finally, I, as well as the rest of the Mecox Family, consider Scott a dear friend. His passion for design is only matched by his charitable heart." - Michael Hofstadter

"My experience with Scott Sanders LLC has been professionally life changing. Not often do you work with a designer like Scott, who can not only read a clients vision but help that client to find that perfect ambiance for that space and once that happens, he knows just what to do. He creates the road map to accomplish that vision, with great organization & great taste. He has just the right sources up his sleeve, after all, he was the director for the Ralph Lauren interior design division for two and a half years, helped create the department and with all of his experience he knows how to direct and give inspiring direction to the people working with him for the same cause. I worked with Scott on some very large hotel projects, such as The Albion, Miami,  Lord Baltimore, Md., Capital Skyline, Washinton, D.C., and in The Hamptons, Long Island & more. I was brought in to do the artwork. With his well thought out vision of the projects we were able to find just the right aesthetic to put these projects over the top. " - Sabrina Baron

"My experience with Scott Sanders LLC was outstanding. Completed project on time and I love the results. Scott and his assistant, Jen Jimenez, are not only talented and meticulous, but also a joy to work with. I plan on working with them again." - Tina Messing

"It was great to work with both Scott and Jennifer throughout the entire project. Not only did they understand our vision of what we felt the hotel should be, they were able to direct us with their tremendous creativity to ensure the hotel became everything we envisioned and more. Communication is always key when doing such a large scale job and they were great. I always felt as though I had tremendous input and that what I suggested / asked for was valued. Both Scott and Jennifer were good at directing my creativity in the proper direction. I would strongly suggest working with them on any size project as they are knowledgeable, creative and just overall great individuals." - jragonese12
