On the slow entryway
Why the first eight feet of a house deserve more attention than the last eight thousand dollars of furniture.
Vol. 11 · Spring Folio
Quiet rooms,
deeply lived in.
Debby Rask is a full-service interior design studio working with families and small businesses across the Hudson Valley, Brooklyn, and Western Mass. We build slow, layered rooms that hold up to ordinary Tuesday afternoons.
Featured Project
A farmhouse, gently brought forward.
Full renovation of a 1902 farmhouse in Columbia County. We kept the original oak floors and rebuilt the kitchen around honed Calacatta, unlacquered brass, and a plaster range hood — the kind of details that look like they were always there.

Philosophy
"A good room is a long conversation between the things you've gathered and the light you actually live in. Our work is to listen carefully on both sides."

"Debby gave us a house that finally feels like the one we'd been describing to each other for years. The rooms are calm and the details are quietly perfect."

Five linens we keep returning to
A short list of the cloth we specify again and again, and the small mills that still make it the old way.
