Francis was a true gem. After having had a disappointing experience with a previous designer, we were in need of a designer who was not only reliable, dedicated, and creative but who was also willing and able to take an existing blueprint and pivot to something better without having us go back to square one. Francis and his team went above and beyond to meet our needs, including our sensitivities, and created a space that we feel truly blessed to call home. He is extremely talented and passionate about serving his clients. Highly recommended.

5+++ stars!!! I am a busy cancer physician and really need my home to be my stress-free oasis. Francis Toumbakaris from Francis Interiors made this a reality. He converted a small blank slate condo in NYCs upper west side to a beautiful and serene home and all during the first year of COVID when most of the city was shut down. He was wonderful to work with, included me in the entire process, and somehow harmonized my husband and my different visions without compromise. He is also a magician in crafting space problem solutions often with his own furniture creations. Honestly, 5-star hotels do not hold a candle to our Francis Interiors home it is my favorite place to be; I absolutely love it!!

Being first time homebuyers, we had several reservations about purchasing a penthouse apartment that required a complete renovation. After a consultation with Francis Toumbakaris of Francis Interiors, our concerns were calmed when he creatively presented several options with both high- and lower-end materials and finishes.
Our apartments beautiful transformation was accomplished to our delight and within our discussed budget. Every room has its own unique personality but there is also a subtle design thread connecting each visually to the adjoining spaces, causing a sense of comfort and relaxation to the eye. We are thrilled with our Shanghai-La which warmly welcomes us home every time we walk through the front door.

Francis was the first designer my husband and I ever worked with, and so we were apprehensive going in, but from the first meeting it was clear that we had made the right decision. We started our project at the beginning of COVID, and so all of our interactions were virtual, but Francis and his associates made the process feel like we were all together in the same room. We would always look forward to our weekly meetings, from going over our story and vision for our apartment, to creating blueprints, to making selections from the options he brought us. We were starting from scratch, which was quite overwhelming, but Francis made the process safe and enjoyable. He introduced us to design elements that we never would have thought of going in, but now that theyre here feel so authentically us. And the results!!! Everyone who walks into our apartment says they think it looks like a home out of architectural digest. From the custom built-ins that Francis designed, furniture, paint, wall coverings, lighting, stone, rugs it all came out like a work of art. We couldnt be more thrilled, and look forward to working with Francis for all of our future design projects.
