Design & Projects
Every project begins with listening. Sara Bengur Interiors creates homes that feel unmistakably like the people who live in them, layered with color, rich in texture, and full of the kind of detail that rewards a second look.
But what defines the studio's work is not a single aesthetic. Sara works across a genuinely wide range of projects. She works on a select number of comprehensive residential projects each year, stewarding each one from early concept through completion, with the kind of care and continuity that complex, character-driven homes require.
Color is her signature and her most powerful tool, deployed differently in every project. Exuberant and boundary-pushing in one home, warm and muted in the next, precisely targeted in another. Sara has spent her career understanding what color can do to a room and she is still discovering it. Her upbringing across Washington DC, Istanbul, and Maine, and decades of international travel, give her interiors a breadth of cultural reference that is genuinely rare. She brings that same internationalism to her clients' spaces: a European sensibility introduced into a Florida apartment, a global collection of antiques woven together with local finds in a Hudson Valley farmhouse.
At the center of every project is a client whose life, rhythms, and personality become the real brief. Sara's most distinctive skill may be her ability to translate who someone is into spaces that feel coherent, expressive, and entirely their own.

Meet The Designer
Sara Bengur founded Sara Bengur Interiors in 1993, bringing to the practice a cosmopolitan sensibility shaped by a life lived across cultures and continents. Raised in Washington DC, Istanbul, and Maine, and informed by decades of international travel, her design perspective is rooted in direct experience rather than stylistic reference.
Sara is widely regarded as a masterful colorist: her bold, joyful, and deeply considered use of color is the signature thread running through every project the studio undertakes. It is an ability that comes not from formula but from a lifetime of looking, traveling, and immersing herself in art, culture, and the visual richness of the world.
At the heart of every project is careful listening. Sara brings a genuine interest in how her clients live, the rhythms, rituals, and everyday details that shape a home, and an uncommon ability to translate that understanding into spaces that feel expressive, coherent, and truly their own. Her interiors balance individuality with architectural respect and longevity, resulting in homes that feel generous, layered, and enduring.
I tell every client: do not treat the accessories as an afterthought.

Tips from the Experts
My dream material or product to work with
Antique textiles, without question. There is nothing that brings the same warmth, history, and irreplaceable character to a room as a piece of fabric that has been somewhere and done something. I find them everywhere, markets, dealers, trips abroad, and they find their way into almost every project I do.
My favourite hack as an interior designer
The details. People spend carefully on sofas and floors and then rush the finishing. But it is the pillows, the lampshades, the artwork, the objects on a shelf, those are what actually make a room feel complete or not. I tell every client: do not treat the accessories as an afterthought. That last layer is where a room either comes alive or falls flat. Invest in it, take your time with it, and get it right.
The one thing I always tell my clients
A home should feel like you, not like a designer. My job is to listen first and design second. The most successful interiors I have created came from understanding how a client actually lives, not how they imagine they might.
Trend I love and one I avoid
A trend I love: Color. It is the single most transformative tool in any interior and the most underused. People are often afraid of it, but color used with care and intention, the right combinations, the right depth, the right light, can change everything about how a room feels. I have spent my entire career working with color and I am still discovering what it can do. A trend to avoid: The disappearance of color from interiors. So many beautiful rooms have been quietly flattened by the fear of committing to something. Neutral does not have to mean colorless, and restraint does not have to mean absence. A room can be calm and still have warmth, depth, and personality. I always find myself hoping people will be a little braver.
