Gail Green, the founder and principal of Gail Green Interiors in New York City, is celebrated for her timeless and elegant yet decidedly modern interiors. Her firm, which specializes in upscale residential and commercial projects of all sizes, is dedicated to creating beautiful, comfortable, and practical interiors. Combining form and function, Gail Green Interiors constructs unique, luxurious spaces that exude a sense of harmony, balance, and order.

Educated at Columbia University and trained at a number of esteemed architecture firms, Green has been an active member of the design industry for over thirty years. She lectures widely on design topics and writes on an array of subjects, including art, antiques, wine, food, and luxury goods. Her work has been featured in a number of esteemed publications, including House Beautiful, House & Garden, Elle Decor, and The New York Times Magazine. Green’s latest tome,  An Insider’s Guide to Interior Design for Small Spaces: How to Create a Beautiful Home Quickly, Effectively and on a Budget, is a primer on how to enhance space. Intrigued by the multitude of misconceptions surrounding small spaces, Green set out to create an educational guide that laid out the fundamentals for making any room feel more gracious and more in tune with how a person feels as they walk through it.
