Our Story
Dubbed “the go-to decorator for Manhattan’s well-heeled millennial set” by the New York Post, Sasha Bikoff has made a name for herself with her unapologetically maximal, imaginatively bold interiors. Her viral kaleidoscopic staircase design for the 2018 Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse earned her work descriptors like “eye-popping” and “psychedelic” and heralded the designer as an “Instagram sensation.”
But while it may seem all fun and games, Sasha’s exuberant style is informed by a depth of knowledge on–and insatiable curiosity for–design history. For the Instagrammable color pop bathrooms of an upscale exercise studio, for example, she looked to Jean-Pierre Raynaud’s Maison de La Celle-Saint-Cloud, remixing his idea with an of-the-moment color palette. Much of Sasha’s work is this kind of referential mashup: She nods to Memphis in the same space as French 18th-century, pairs Rococco with Space Age Modernism, and brings an Italian Futurist spin to 1980s chintz-mania.
Sasha’s voracious visual appetite is fueled by her extensive travel: Her spaces bear influence from Milan to Marrakech, Paris to Palm Beach, and always, of course, her beloved hometown of New York City. Sasha was trained in Fine Art and Art History at George Washington University and the American University in Paris, then cut her teeth working at the prestigious Gagosian Gallery before founding her eponymous firm. Her first decorating job was in New York’s storied Dakota, an apt debut for a native New Yorker with an eye for history.
Sasha is as deft with residential interiors as with commissions of all shapes; in addition to homes, she’s outfitted museums, restaurants, bars, and retail stores including cult candle brand Otherland, trendsetting jeweler Alison Lou, and DTC darling Away. She has also produced collaborations with the likes of Vervain, Versace, Fabricut, Rug Art, New Ravenna, and Currey & Company, to name a few. Her work has made a splash at Salone del Mobile and Art Basel in addition to the illustrious Kips Bay Decorator Show House. Sasha splits her time between
Manhattan and a–surprisingly subdued–modern farmhouse in the Hamptons.

Emily
Hailing from Palm Beach, Florida, Emily grew up surrounded by the world of design and glamour. She was trained in the fine arts throughout grade school before attending Florida State University to join the accredited Interior Architecture and Design program. Graduating in 2020, she immediately set off to New York City where she joined Sasha Bikoff Interior Design in August of 2021, serving as the Head Designer and Operations Manager.
She credits her hometown, her Art History minor, and the women in her life for her love of antiques and using vintage pieces in her designs, and the ability to 'hustle.' When not at her desk, you can find her walking the streets in her self proclaimed 'Palm-Beach-Grandma-Chic' being constantly inspired by the places she’s been and dreams to go.
Eliza
New to the scene, Eliza from the West Coast was born with a distinct sense of personal style. As a child, Eliza was always drawn to coloring and spending her time doing anything creative whether it was spending hours sketching fashion illustrations or making drawings of her dream bedroom. Growing up in a home with a mother who equally shared her passion for design, Eliza was encapsulated by aesthetic environments that made her appreciate the spaces around her from a very young age. Although she wears a lot of black, bright colors and bold patterns have been the root of Eliza’s personal style and it shows in all of her projects and creations. Eliza began working at Sasha Bikoff Interior Design in June of 2023 after graduating from The Savannah College of Art and Design where she studied interior design through their accredited program while also receiving a minor in electronic design.
