Whether you’re refreshing a home or preparing a short-term rental, our process blends creativity, hospitality insight, and thoughtful sourcing to create spaces that feel layered, intentional, and deeply connected to their surroundings.
Low bookings often come down to one thing: the space doesn’t stand out. We design short-term rentals that photograph beautifully, feel welcoming in person, and function seamlessly for guests.
Every detail is considered with both experience and performance in mind. Ideal for new hosts, underperforming listings, or property investors looking to elevate their return.
We help homeowners or renters create calm, functional interiors that feel personal rather than showroom-perfect. Whether you’re renovating, downsizing, or simply unsure where to begin, we guide thoughtful decisions that make your home feel more aligned with how you live—from one room to an entire home.

Our styling approach focuses on warmth and intention. We curate spaces using thoughtfully sourced pieces, often incorporating vintage or second-hand finds to create environments that feel unique, inviting, personal, and designed for moments of connection, relaxation, and everyday enjoyment.

Beyond our core offerings, we provide flexible support tailored to each project. Whether remote or in person, we can guide, source, and execute every step with a thoughtful, streamlined approach.

Every project follows a clear, client-first approach to ensure your space is functional, beautiful, and true to your story.
This is where we explore your style, your goals, and how you want your space to feel, whether you’re creating a cozy home environment or a guest-ready short-term rental.
You’ll receive a clear, itemized budget that balances aesthetic vision with practicality. We present high and low options so you feel confident about where to invest and where to scale back. Every recommendation considers durability, comfort, and real-life use, especially important for homes designed to host.
We create a visual roadmap for your project through curated mood boards and a refined color palette. This step allows you to see how furniture, decor, and textures will come together before any purchasing begins.
Once your design direction is established, we develop detailed floor plans and layouts that ensure every piece feels purposeful, from how you move through the space to how natural light shapes each moment.
We source through professional trade accounts or identify high-quality alternatives that have proven durable across past projects. Whenever possible, we incorporate vintage or secondhand pieces that add character and a sense of place, creating spaces that feel elevated, personal, and intentionally collected.
We stay closely involved through installation and final setup, offering guidance remotely or in person to ensure every detail comes together seamlessly.
This is where everything comes together. For homeowners, it’s the moment your space feels truly yours. For short-term rentals, it’s when your property is styled, staged, photographed, and ready to welcome guests.

“Emily was more than just a designer for us. She helped us think through every little detail of our home to ensure that the end product was thoughtful, thorough and an exact representation of our goals and our personality. Working with her exceeded our expectations in every way and has ruined me on all other designers for the rest of time.”
Meredith C.
We work with homeowners, short-term rental hosts, property managers, and investors who care about how a space feels, not just how it looks. Our clients value thoughtful design, comfort, and creating environments that feel welcoming and personal.
Yes, and this is a key part of what makes our work unique.
Emily brings over ten years of hands-on hosting and hospitality experience, designing spaces for both personal homes and income-producing properties. Our approach balances guest experience, durability, and the emotional details that guests remember long after their stay.
Our work is rooted in intentional, sustainable design.
This means prioritizing repurposed and vintage materials whenever possible, designing beyond trends, and creating spaces that feel calm, personal, and deeply lived in. Emily’s background in fashion and hospitality informs every decision, from layout and color to the quiet details that make a space feel cared for.
Services may include:
Each project is customized. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all packages.
Yes. We offer remote design services for clients both locally and nationwide.
These are ideal for homeowners seeking professional direction, hosts wanting clarity and cohesion, or clients who want expert guidance without full in-person installation. Digital services follow the same intentional process, simply delivered virtually.
Not exclusively, but always thoughtfully. Whenever possible, We incorporate repurposed and reclaimed pieces sourced from salvage yards, vintage shops, and local marketplaces. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s intention, choosing materials that feel meaningful, lasting, and aligned with the space.
Emily is based in the Hudson Valley, New York, and works throughout New York and the surrounding region, including the Catskills, Adirondacks, Finger Lakes, NYC, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey for in-person projects. She partners with clients nationwide through remote design services and offers travel-based design and installation when schedules align.
Our process is collaborative, thoughtful, and intentionally paced. It begins with understanding how the space will be lived in or experienced, followed by:
Yes. Depending on the level of service selected, we can help source vintage and thoughtfully sourced pieces, curate furnishings and accessories, and provide purchase links or manage procurement through trusted vendors and trade accounts.
Yes. While Reclaimed Retreats focuses on design and creative direction, we have a trusted network of painters, contractors, and skilled trades we regularly recommend. We also work with a reliable local team who assists with receiving, installation, and assembly to help bring each project together smoothly.
If your project is outside our local area, we’re happy to collaborate with you to build the right team or work alongside your existing vendors to ensure the design is executed thoughtfully and with care.
Every project is unique, so pricing is tailored to your space and goals.
After an initial inquiry and conversation, Emily provides a custom proposal based on:
This approach ensures you’re investing in what truly supports your space and how it will be lived in or experienced.
