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.

It’s no secret that every piece of furniture @theceh makes is gorgeous, but we needed to rave about them today for a different reason. Have you been following their stories lately? We have been so inspired and humbled by their dedication to their customers that we had to share…

Last month their delivery driver quit mid-delivery with no notice. For weeks now, Diana and Justin, the owners of @theceh have been driving cross country with their children, personally delivering the remaining pieces to make sure customers get everything in time.

Follow along in their stories as they share more from their nationwide delivery road trips and tap the link in our profile to learn more about @theceh on their #TTLDirectory page. { Design @lizziecullencox 📷 @laureywglenn } ...
