About Elana
Before she was an interior designer, Elana spent years working on the business side of the fashion industry. That background gave her something rare in the design world: an exceptional eye for aesthetics paired with an airtight process. For the busy professionals she works with, that combination makes all the difference.
Elana founded Elana Cohen Interiors to bring a different kind of design experience to her clients. Her specialty is full home renovations, projects where she can shape a home from the inside out, creating spaces that feel cohesive, personal, and genuinely livable.
Her aesthetic is rooted in traditional design with a modern sensibility. She layers color and pattern, mixes antique pieces with contemporary furniture to create homes that have real character. Her goal is a space that transcends trend, one that you’ll love more over time, not less.
“I want your home to feel like you, but the best version of you. Not a showroom, not a Pinterest board. A space that actually reflects how you live.”
What sets Elana apart is the process. Designed specifically for clients who are juggling demanding careers and full lives, it’s built to be clear, efficient, and low-stress. Every phase is mapped out and communicated in advance. You’ll be consulted at the key moments without being buried in details, present for the decisions that matter, freed from the ones that don’t.
Elana is based in Teaneck, NJ and works with clients across Bergen County, Westchester County, and Northern New Jersey. To start a conversation about your home, fill out the inquiry form.
