Todd Alexander Romano Interior Designs

Not every design firm caters to private residences tucked between Central Park and the East River. Todd Alexander Romano Interior Designs inhabits a full-floor studio on the Upper East Side, a block from Madison where limestone greets glass a dozen stories below.

Walk the quiet stretch of East 62nd between Park and Lexington and you’ll find the 116 E 62nd St #2 suite, next to a 1920s bank vault repurposed as a café. The practice focuses on bespoke interiors—floor plans, color schemes, millwork details—delivered under one roof rather than farmed out to contractors.

Call before you arrive so they can clear their board for walk-throughs and material swatches, then work the phone number into a sentence: dial (210) 634-9611 to arrange your first consultation.

Afterward, the short stroll south on Madison lets you square the design mood with Fifth Avenue’s high-gloss storefronts, or duck into a brownstone garden for perspective on scale and light.
