Stepping into the world of Marisa Orlich Interiors is stepping into a philosophy: updated traditional design—where history, pattern, wallpaper, antiques, and warmth meet modern livable spaces. In this episode of New York’s Business Podcast, Marisa shares how she creates homes that feel curated, personal, and deeply lived-in… not like a magazine set or a fleeting Pinterest trend.
Marisa works with busy executives and families who want elevated design but don’t have the time to manage the details. From whole-home renovations to intimate gathering spaces, she blends craftsmanship, storytelling, and project management into one seamless experience. Her aesthetic brings together centuries-old motifs, updated textiles, vintage finds, and modern functionality—all with the goal of creating a home that “feels warm and feels like home.”
We dive into the real interior design world:
• Why HGTV creates unrealistic expectations
• The rising cost of renovations post-COVID
• Why Long Island design budgets don’t compare to influencer homes in low-cost states
• The importance of hiring a designer before a contractor
• Her stance on trends she loves—and the ones she hopes disappear forever (goodbye, white houses with black windows)
If you love color, history, craftsmanship, or want to understand what truly goes into high-end residential design… this is an episode you’ll binge to the end.
