Erin Mercadante is the founder and principal of Erin Mercadante Interiors, a full-service design studio dedicated to creating interiors that marry timeless elegance with soulful, lived-in warmth. Known for her thoughtful integration of antiques, fine art, and bespoke craftsmanship, she curates spaces that feel collected and enduring—rich with story, layered in texture, and deeply personal.

Her creative path began in the fine arts, where she studied painting and art history before working with contemporary artists in New York City. This early immersion in the art world sharpened her eye for color, composition, and historical reference, shaping the foundation of her design sensibility.

Drawn to bring her artistic perspective into the built environment, Erin pursued a degree in interior design—merging her love of art with a passion for creating livable, beautiful spaces. She went on to spend more than seven years designing luxury residential interiors at leading New York firms, honing her skills on multi-million-dollar projects of the highest quality. In 2025, she founded her own studio to share that expertise through a more personal, collaborative approach.

Inspired by the beauty and rhythms of the natural world, Erin often weaves organic materials and forms into her work—whether designing a grand country estate or a refined city residence. Her goal is simple: to create spaces that are not only beautiful, but deeply livable—tailored to the lives, stories, and surroundings of the people who call them home.
