Liz Tiesi

Liz Tiesi, owner and lead designer at threshold interiors, has a BA in History from UCLA and completed her interior design training at the Inchbald School of Design in London.  While living in London for over ten years, Liz was able to travel frequently and had the opportunity to view architecture and design elements from all over the world.  She has incorporated her international experience into her work and initially started her design business developing and designing property in the UK.  Upon her return to New York in 2010, Liz opened her own interior design firm to provide a fresh approach to the creation of residential spaces. Her design philosophy envisions interiors that are in keeping with the local vernacular, but are still sophisticated and reflect her clients’ desires.  Liz values her clients' perspective and always endeavors to have their homes be cohesive, stylish and comfortable for their lifestyle.

In 2022, Liz decided to shift from external client work to developing her properties and working exclusively on her own projects. This allows her to have full design freedom and flexibility.

Liz can execute many types of projects including new construction, full renovations, revamping of new developments, and decor projects.  Due to her depth of experience, she is comfortable renovating a mews house in Notting Hill, building a beach cottage in Nantucket, or developing a former rag shop in Manhattan into a family home. Her goal is to create unique visual experiences in her projects by layering textures and colors across many mediums.  Incorporating salvaged materials, sourcing items globally and researching for the most up to date product offerings all contribute to this aesthetic.

Liz lives with her family in Chelsea and loves walking her chihuahuas Taco and Minka on the Hudson River. 

Taco and Minka  

My design puppies help relieve tension and provide comic relief throughout the day.  Minka is an expert lapdog and Taco is responsible for security which includes barking at inopportune moments throughout the day.
