FR Review:
A darling of the uptown club set, Todd Romano calmly offers an easy propriety with just enough verve. Many of Romano's settings are founded on classical American motifs, highlighted with unexpected colors, inherited furnishings, and rich details. He is known to interweave fine antiques with quality reproductions, creating a finished product at a reasonable price. Romano often works with architect Patrick Carmody, and clients say the two make a terrific team.
The firm works with standard design fees, standard percentages over net, and reasonable hourly oversight fees. Romano is also available for hourly consultations. Most clients are the young families of Park Avenue or those in the suburbs referred by friends to their first real decorator. Other clients include more established homeowners who appreciate Romano's breadth of product choices. References report that Romano is willing and able to take the quality to the highest level, but that he never pushes and has many interesting sources. Project costs average in the $250,000 to $500,000 neighborhood.
Romano recently opened a shop at the above address with furniture ranging from 18th century English to 1970s Lucite. He is highly recommended by clients for the "right look" created with good humor, thoughtfulness, and high-quality workmanship. HB Top Designers, 2002, 2003, 2004. Elle Decor A-list.
Representative Client Comments:
"He took my inherited English and funky Victorian and created something beautiful." "He has great Texas warmth." "He was able to do a great job with our first apartment, and then he created a whole new, more sophisticated and polished look for our Park Avenue apartment. I can't wait to see what he will do with the country house." "The cost of the children's beds was more that I expected, but they looked great." "He is a real gentleman. While my project was not very large, I got lots of attention." "Todd even considered what colors I look best in, and flooded the house with those tones." "If I didn't like it, he would take it back." "Todd oversaw the entire operation really well." "Very couture. He doesn't like to do the catalog thing." "He has a great group of custom vendors. The light fixtures were particularly fabulous and changed the whole construct of the apartment." "Timely, likable, straight down the fairway."
