services
full home design
the big picture
our core and signature offering. we work across your entire home to create a cohesive, layered environment that reflects your personality and evolves with you. every piece is chosen with intention. nothing generic, nothing disposable.
room refresh
one room. big impact.
for clients ready to transform a single space — living room, bedroom, entryway. we assess what you have, source what you're missing, and style it into something that finally feels finished. a great starting point if you're not sure you're ready for the full picture. a proven way to turn a room you tolerate into one you love.
personal antiquing
the art of the find
a dedicated sourcing service for clients who want their space filled with pieces that have a story. we scour local markets, estate sales, and antique shops to handpick vintage finds tailored specifically to your aesthetic. available as both a standalone service or woven into a larger project.
consults
the starting point
not sure where to begin? a consult is a focused, low-commitment way to get expert eyes on your space. we offer paint consults for clients navigating color decisions, and virtual consults for those outside our service area in the northeast. you'll leave with clarity and a direction.
commercial
beyond the home
we bring the same renovation-free, curation-first approach to offices, restaurants, and wellness & hospitality spaces. ideal for brands who want their environment to reflect their identity without a full buildout.
interior photoshoot styling ✦ specialty
for interior photographers and designers who know that the details make the shot
we style interiors for interior photographers and fellow designers who want a considered, layered finish for shoot day. we bring our own sourced and curated pieces into your space — adding the objects, textiles, and vintage finds that make a room feel alive on camera. whether it's a portfolio shoot or an editorial project, we're there to make sure the environment does the work it needs to do.
teak & cane serves clients across the northeast — the hudson valley, stowe, boston, hoboken, brooklyn, and beyond. virtual consults available everywhere.

our ethos
construction and demolition waste makes up 30–40% of all solid waste generated globally.
that's why teak & cane specializes in enhancing existing spaces without the stress and disruption of major renovations. we believe in elevating the everyday through thoughtful styling and decorative changes —turning your coffee station into a memorable daily ritual, or a blank wall into a captivating gallery of art. we excel at helping you romanticize the mundane aspects of life.
let us help you transform your space into something you're proud of, excited to wake up to, and eager to share. everyone deserves a home that feels like a true reflection of themselves, regardless of square footage. with teak & cane, you're not just designing a space, you're investing in a lifestyle that gives back to you every day.
what it’s like to work with us
no two teak & cane projects look exactly alike. a full home unfolds differently than a single room or an afternoon of antiquing. but the way we work stays the same: collaborative, transparent, and built around you. here's the rhythm you can expect.
i. hello
it starts with a conversation. we get to know you, your space, how you live in it, and what's not quite working. we'll talk through your vision, your timeline, and your budget so we're aligned from day one. no guesswork, no pressure.
ii. the vision
we translate everything we've learned into a clear direction. mood boards, layouts, and a curated point of view for your space. this is where the look and feel start to take shape, and where your input does the most to steer the outcome.
iii. the find
we source the pieces that bring the vision to life, scouring local markets, estate sales, vintage shops, and trusted makers for finds with a story. you'll review options and sign off on everything before anything is ordered. our invoicing is fully transparent, so you always know exactly what you're paying for.
iv. the reveal
we bring it all together. for local projects, we're there to install and style in person. this is the moment it stops being a plan and starts being your home.
v. and beyond
homes evolve, and so do we. when you're ready for the next room, a seasonal refresh, or just a few new finds, we'll pick up right where we left off — like we never left.
frequently asked questions
-
it means we transform your space without the dust, the demo, or the contractor timeline. no knocking down walls, no months of disruption, no living in a construction zone. instead, we work with what's already there; layering vintage finds, beautiful furnishings, and considered styling to create a home that feels finished and entirely your own. it's design that respects your space, your timeline, and the planet.
-
every project starts with getting to know you and your space. from there, you can expect thoughtful mood boards, pieces sourced from a curated mix of vendors (many of them local makers and shops), clear sign-offs before anything is ordered, and transparent markup invoicing so you always know exactly what you're paying for. we share tracking on everything and, for local projects, we're there to install and style in person. no surprises, just a space that feels like you at the end of it.
-
our favorite clients are people who love their home and want it to feel intentional, but don't want the upheaval of a full renovation to get there. some come to us for the whole house. others just need one room to finally feel finished, or a sourcing partner to help them find pieces with a story. whether you want to be hands-on or hand us the keys, if you care about a home that's collected rather than catalog, you'll feel right at home here.
-
not at all. we believe the best interiors are layered over time, and the pieces you already love often become the anchor of the room. we'll tell you honestly what's worth keeping, what's worth re-homing, and where a vintage find or new piece would make the biggest difference. starting from scratch is rarely the answer.
-
it depends on the scope a single room refresh, a full home, or a focused antiquing session all look different. we'll always walk you through the structure before we begin so there are no surprises. when we source furniture and decor on your behalf, we invoice with transparent markup, meaning you see exactly what each piece costs and what our sourcing work adds.
-
think of it as a partnership, not a hand-off. you'll be involved at the moments that matter most — sharing your vision up front, reacting to mood boards, and signing off before we order anything. beyond that, we carry the heavy lifting. the spaces that turn out most "you" are always the ones where we stayed in close conversation, but we promise it never feels like homework.
-
we work in person across the northeastern united states (i.e., hudson valley, hoboken, brooklyn, stowe, boston, and beyond). if you're outside our service area, our virtual consults bring the same considered eye to your space from anywhere.
-
we love a long relationship. homes evolve, and we're here for it. whether you want to refresh a room down the line, add a few finishing touches, or bring us back for the next space entirely. just reach out and we'll pick up right where we left off.
