Every remarkable residence begins with discernment—what to include, what to leave behind, and what deserves to become part of a life.
For three decades, Betty Wasserman has created modern residences where architecture, custom furnishings, fine art, and daily living exist in considered dialogue. Her work has earned recognition among the best New York interior designers through decades of acclaimed projects, national publications, and a practice shaped by art as much as architecture.
Before founding her interior design studio, Betty spent ten years as a New York private art dealer, advising collectors and corporations on significant works of art. That perspective remains central to her practice today. Art is never treated as a finishing touch; it is considered from the beginning as part of the architecture, atmosphere, and identity of the home.
For clients acquiring investment-grade works, Betty brings careful attention to provenance, scale, composition, and long-term significance. Custom furnishings are frequently designed specifically for each residence, allowing architecture, art, and craftsmanship to evolve together.
The result is a home that feels composed rather than decorated—reflecting not merely an aesthetic, but a deeply considered way of living.
Betty’s work has been featured in Elle Décor, Interior Design, Metropolitan Home, Hamptons Cottages & Gardens, New York Living, and NBC’s Open House. Her projects have received multiple Best of Year honors from Hamptons Homes Magazine.
She also serves on the Board of Directors of GoodWeave and as Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees for the Ice Theatre of New York, reflecting a lifelong commitment to design, culture, and responsible craftsmanship.



Betty Wasserman maintains homes and design studios in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, the Hamptons, and Palm Beach/Wellington. Each provides a welcoming place to meet with clients while drawing inspiration from the architecture, lifestyle, and character of its region.
