Samantha Ware Designs

Samantha’s eye for design stems from her educational background in fine and decorative art history. After receiving her MA, she went on to work for some of New York’s top galleries, authenticating countless pieces of art and furniture. Wanting to pursue a more creative component of the industry, Samantha turned her experience in the arts into a career in interior design.

Combining both her love of history and interiors, she went on to work for the highly coveted wallpaper company de Gournay, working closely with clients to create custom hand painted wallcoverings. She then went on to work for One Kings Lane as a curator for their vintage and antiques department. Shortly thereafter, Samantha joined the interior design team at OKL, assisting the director on large scale commercial and residential projects before setting out on her own.

Samantha’s design philosophy is rooted in the idea that a home should tell the story of those living in it and therefore be completely unique. She believes that timeless design respects the original fabric of a house while simultaneously elevating it to a contemporary standard, comfortable enough for modern day living. Samantha’s curatorial experience allows her to source from the very best artisans, craftsmen, and dealers, creating a completely bespoke experience specifically tailored to her client’s needs.
