A professional interior design practice serving the tri-state region
What should we do with this place?
IDist offers a complete roadmap and plan for your residence, no matter where you are on the journey.
The engagement
Someone who has done this hundreds of times, standing in your rooms, telling you what to do.
Which wall wants millwork and which one wants nothing. Why that room has never worked. What to keep, what to sell, and what to wait for. Room by room, in the order the work should happen, written down.

A plan you own, for a residence you love.
Every room considered. Every piece named, with the reason it belongs and what it costs. And the sequence that keeps one decision from ruining the next, which is where the money goes when nobody is watching it.
Dan Flugger, founder. Fifteen years inside private New York residences, running a design and build practice and two furniture workshops in Brooklyn. A New York homeowner too, which is its own education in what this costs when it goes wrong.
Our work lives in
What we know
The best residences in New York were made by many hands, over years.
Millwork built for the wall it stands against. Upholstery cut for the room. Storage designed around what you actually own. Light placed for the way you live at night. Pieces by masters and artists whose work exists nowhere else. Knowing which hands, in which order, at which moment, is the whole craft.

The Record
$7,500
New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut
The whole residence designed, up to eight rooms, in the order the work should happen. Every piece named with the reason it belongs and what it costs. What stays, what moves, and what is worth letting go of. Kept current for a year.
Before you commit
The Assessment
$2,500
Manhattan
Ninety minutes in the residence before you buy it, or before you commit to renovating one you own. What it can become, what the building will allow, and what that work runs. Manhattan, in person. The full $2,500 comes off the Record if you go on to it.
Stop guessing.
One visit and you will know what to do first, what it will take, and what to leave exactly as it is.
