Every interior has a story. Apartment 48 takes an organic approach to building your narrative. For over two decades, we have worked with clients on a multitude of projects: modern lofts, television studios, summer homes, and commercial offices. Regardless of the project, our goal is to discover our client’s voice and to cultivate a design that enhances their uniqueness and style.
Our principal designer, Rayman Boozer, is a graduate of Indiana University. After moving to New York City, "Time Out" magazine had dubbed him the “go to designer for color consulting.” Over the years Apartment 48 has embraced that distinction - specializing in combining vibrant colors, exotic materials, and contemporary furnishings to create spaces that feel optimistic, relaxed and effortless. Our company focus is on our clients and utilizing our craft to tell their story.
