Ariel Okin - The Traditional List

Ariel Okin

New York, NY

Ariel Okin is the founder of her eponymous firm, Ariel Okin Interiors, a New York based, full service interior design firm specializing in luxury residential, commercial, and hospitality projects across the country. Ariel’s signature style can be interpreted as “traditional with a twist” – warm, livable and elegant spaces, with an edited, contemporary and practical approach. A deft use of color, emphasis on clean lines, and mix of bespoke and antique items are hallmarks of her aesthetic, yet no two projects are alike; Ariel believes every home should reflect its owner. Ariel established her firm in 2016, and is a contributing writer to Vogue.com, Architectural Digest and Domino. In 2020, Ariel launched a furniture collection with Society Social, as well as a wallpaper collection with Chasing Paper. In August of 2020 she launched her editorial and e-commerce site, Fenimore Lane. Ariel lives in Westchester, NY with her husband, daughter and dog, Charlie.

Meet The Designer

How would you describe your aesthetic in three words?

Traditional with (a) twist.

What inspires you?

Homes of the past, nature, vintage interior design books, homes of people whose style I admire, and old films.

What is your favorite/go-to design advice?

Be faithful to your own taste, because nothing you really like is ever out of style.
