Sara Bengur Interiors, the New York-based design firm, enjoys a reputation for sophisticated spaces that reflect the multi-cultural background of its founder, Sara Bengur. Sara, who founded her namesake business 18 years ago, comes by her particular brand of Yankee-inflected exoticism naturally: the daughter of a Turkish economist with the International Monetary Fund, she spent her formative years in Washington DC; Istanbul, Turkey; and Maine.
Sara has completed residential interiors in Manhattan, and the Hamptons, New York; Connecticut; Maine; and the French West Indies. “Our philosophy,” says Sara, “starts with understanding our client’s needs so that we can create a comfortable and elegant interior that reflects that client's personality and lifestyle in every aspect of the interior.” From custom upholstery and window treatments to antique textiles and one-of-a-kind pieces discovered here and abroad, Sara and her associates select or craft each detail of every interior specifically for its future occupants. The result is interiors of great visual depth, complexity, and personality but also great ease, comfort, and accessibility.
It's no wonder
her designs greet the
eye with a sense
of calm and purpose,
even though
its elements are
lovingly eclectic.
