Jonathan Yalif Interior Design

Murray Hill has long been a canvas for New York’s quiet reinvention, where pre-war facades meet the steady pulse of midtown ambition. It’s here, at Jonathan Yalif Interior Design, that residential spaces are reimagined without erasing their history. The practice specializes in blending contemporary function with the neighborhood’s inherent charm—think custom millwork that respects original moldings, or open-plan layouts that honor the building’s bones while accommodating modern living.

Found at 139 E 33rd St, the studio sits just steps from the historic Morgan Library, a reminder that design in this part of the city often dances between preservation and progress. Projects typically span full-home renovations, kitchen redesigns, and tailored storage solutions, each approached with an eye toward longevity rather than fleeting trends. The work extends beyond Manhattan, too, with clients in Brooklyn and the Hudson Valley seeking that same balance of sophistication and livability.

Those curious about transforming their own space can reach out at (212) 679-3443 to discuss possibilities. For directions to the studio, a quick look at the map will place you on the right block, where the street’s rhythm offers a preview of the thoughtful design that lies within.
