Allison Babcock is a nationally recognized interior design authority, sought after for her sophisticated signature aesthetic: crisp, clean, comfortable designs imbued with warmth and enhanced by subtle details like sumptuous textures and materials. “We create interiors that are personal and memorable and partner with artisans across a variety of mediums to create one-of-a-kind pieces that make distinctive interiors that are highly reflective of our clients’ taste," explains Allison. Her style transcends current trends, with refined elegance, enduring architecture and uncluttered lines mixed with carefully curated art and antiques for today’s modern lifestyle.

At the center of Allison’s process is a collaborative, client-focused methodology that has guided her for decades. She believes in a team approach with architects, builders, tradesmen, and clients all aiding in the selection of materials, palettes, and accessories. Sensitivity and respect for an area’s indigenous vernacular are instrumental in the creation of the polished interiors for which the firm is known. Allison’s projects celebrate the natural beauty of the environments where they are located by capturing the light, water, views and indoor/outdoor lifestyle that her clients so often desire.

The firm has been featured in publications including Architectural Digest, Wall Street Journal - Off Duty, House Beautiful, Hamptons, Cottages & Gardens, Mansion Global, Purist, and Apartment Therapy. 

Allison was an early admirer of exemplary architectural beauty, having grown up in the shadows of Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia and attending the University of Richmond. After a few years in the industry, she joined the prestigious firm Cullman & Kravis Associates where she spent eight years as a senior project manager before leaving to open her eponymous firm Allison Babcock Design.

Allison and her husband, Luke, live in Sag Harbor, where she is able to enjoy this special part of the world all year round. When she is not knee-deep crafting interiors, she enjoys traveling, gourmet cooking, yoga, spending time with her dogs, and being a mother to her two amazing daughters.
