What Romanek Design Studio does

Romanek Design Studio is a Los Angeles-based interior design practice founded in 2018 by Brigette Romanek, a self-taught designer whose prior career included handbag design for retailers such as Barneys and Harvey Nichols. The studio operates by appointment from its headquarters at 6207 Santa Monica Boulevard and delivers full-service interior design across residential, commercial, retail, and hospitality projects, with a clientele that includes A-list celebrities (Beyoncé, Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Moore, Christian Bale, Jay-Z, among others) and luxury commercial brands (Audemars Piguet, Piaget, Zuma, Delilah, The Great. Sportsmens Lodge, St. John, Maison Margiela). The firm differentiates on a "livable luxe" design philosophy that emphasizes spaces meant to be enjoyed rather than preserved.

The studio generates revenue across three streams: (1) project-based interior design fees, which are quote-based and undisclosed, (2) product collaborations licensed through retail partners, including a 54-piece furniture and home décor collection with Crate & Barrel launched in February 2025 and the Romi Collection with Loloi Rugs launched in 2024, and (3) book publishing, anchored by the 2023 Chronicle Books release of "Livable Luxe" with a foreword by Gwyneth Paltrow. Distribution for product collaborations runs through Crate & Barrel and Loloi Rugs retail channels; the book is distributed globally through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other book retailers. The firm maintains brand visibility primarily through earned media across Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, Vogue, Forbes, The New York Times, and international design publications, supplemented by an active Instagram presence under the founder's personal brand.

Romanek Design Studio has been recognized on AD100, elevated to Elle Decor Legend in 2024, named to Forbes 50 Over 50, Wallpaper 400, and 1stDibs 50, and made its international design week debut at Milan Design Week 2025 as part of Artemest's L'Appartamento showhouse. The studio operates with a 1-10 person team and discloses no external investment, parent company, or institutional ownership; it remains wholly founder-owned and controlled.
