services
every space has potential.
teak and cane exists to help you find it. without the dust, the disruption, or the contractor timeline.
we work with what's already there: layering vintage finds, beautiful furnishings, and considered styling to create homes that feel authentically, unmistakably yours.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 — stowe, boston, hoboken, manhattan, 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. for example, 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
i. the intro
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 pieces that bring the vision to life from local markets, estate sales, vintage shops, and trusted makers. you'll approve every selection before it's ordered, with transparent invoicing every step of the way.
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.
frequently asked questions
-
renovation-free means we transform your space without construction or contractors ripping out walls. we work with your existing layout and bring in new furniture, lighting, and art where it'll have the most impact, along with soft-finish updates like paint and carpet. no permits, no demo, no disruption.
-
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.
-
although we are based and work primarily in the northeastern u.s.; we’re happy to travel for the right project scope! our founder's canadian roots also mean we regularly hear from clients north of the border and beyond ;)
