Episode 188 - ARIEL OKIN

Ariel Okin is the founder of her eponymous firm, Ariel Okin Interiors, a New York-based, full-service interior design firm specializing in luxury residential, commercial, and hospitality projects across the country. Ariel’s signature style can be interpreted as “traditional with a twist” – warm, livable and elegant spaces, with an edited, contemporary and practical approach. A deft use of color, emphasis on clean lines, and mix of bespoke and antique items are hallmarks of her aesthetic, yet no two projects are alike; Ariel believes every home should reflect its owner. Ariel established her firm in 2016, and has since been featured and profiled in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Domino, Vogue, The Wall Street Journal, and New York Magazine, among others. Ariel has been recognized as one of House Beautiful’s Next Wave Designers, an exclusive list of the top interior design talent in the country. Ariel has also received several prestigious industry awards, including House & Garden’s “The List”, Architectural Digest’s “Pro List” and Luxe Magazine's Gold List. Ariel has launched multiple capsule collections, including wallpaper lines with Chasing Paper and The Mural Source, accessories with One Kings Lane, and most recently, a lighting line with Mitzi. Ariel's first interior design book will debut with Rizzoli in Fall 2025.  Separate from her design work, Ariel helms her editorial and e-commerce site, Fenimore Lane, where she is Editor in Chief. She also hosts Fenimore Lane's popular design podcast, "Talk Shop", and leads Fenimore Lane's annual design summit at The Mayflower Inn & Spa. In addition to her work with Fenimore Lane, Ariel is a contributing writer to Vogue.com, Architectural Digest and Domino. Current residential projects range across the country, from Greenwich, CT, and Cape Cod, MA, to Palm Beach, FL, and Oyster Bay, NY, among others. Ariel lives in Westchester, NY, with her husband, two daughters, and dog, Charlie. https://www.arielokin.com/ https://www.instagram.com/arielokin/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talk-shop-with-ariel-okin-a-fenimore-lane-production/id1713624140
