"Elissa and Katy were extremely thoughtful, savvy and considerate in their design ideas - from making sure it was not only beautiful but functional for our family. They took my ideas and "wish list" and up-leveled it in a way I couldn't have ever imagined on my own."

Co-Founders + Principal Designers

Swell Design Co. is a full-service interior design studio founded by longtime friends and creative partners, Elissa and Katy. What began as a shared love of design while working together at Restoration Hardware quickly grew into a lasting collaboration rooted in creativity, friendship, and a deep appreciation for thoughtful, personal spaces.

 

Since launching Swell in 2018, Elissa and Katy have built a boutique studio known for designing homes that are as functional as they are beautiful. Their work blends a relaxed, modern classic sensibility with a hint of eclectic charm, always guided by the unique story of each client. Inspired by nature, art, and the rhythms of daily life, they bring warmth, color, and intention to every project.

​

At Swell, design is about more than just how a space looks. It’s about how it feels. Elissa and Katy specialize in creating homes that reflect the people who live in them, with a focus on comfort, livability, and lasting joy.

Based in Monmouth County, serving the surrounding areas of Atlantic Highlands, Sea Bright, Rumson, Fair Haven, and Middletown, NJ.
