Owner/Designer: The Design Studio Of Somerville

 Tom Sfisco

With more than 36 years of experience in the interior design industry, Tom Sfisco has built a legacy of excellence, creativity, and deeply personalized service. As the founder of Design Studio Somerville, based in downtown Somerville, New Jersey, Tom leads a full-service interior design firm known for turning houses into timeless, livable homes that reflect the people who live in them.

Tom’s journey began in 1989 with a small business called Peeping Tom, focusing on blinds, shades, and wallpaper. That passion for detail and quality grew into what is now a nationally recognized design firm offering complete interior design services—from pre-construction consultation to full-scale furnishing and styling.

He and his team work directly with homeowners, builders, and architects to guide every aspect of a project: space planning, lighting, flooring, window treatments, custom upholstery, home automation, accessories, and more. Whether it’s selecting the right backsplash for a kitchen or planning the sight lines of a living room before the foundation is poured, Tom brings practical insight, aesthetic excellence, and heartfelt passion to every job.

Tom’s love for design is matched by his passion for helping people live better in their homes. That philosophy—and his design journey—will be featured in an upcoming interview, where he shares personal stories, insights, and what truly sets his firm apart. The interview will be released soon and shared here on the website as well as on social media.

 

What Sets Tom Apart

Tom Sfisco’s approach is rooted in experience, empathy, and collaboration. What sets him apart is not just what he does—but how he does it.

Over 36 years of hands-on experience in interior design, construction coordination, and full-service project management Coast-to-coast portfolio, including custom homes in Florida, California, and other states in between Deep relationships with industry-leading vendors including Hunter Douglas, Lee Industries, Hickory White, Bernhardt, Universal, Bassett Mirror, and many others A design philosophy centered on timeless style, functional beauty, and lifestyle-driven planning A trusted, tight-knit team of designers who contribute ideas, solve problems, and support one another throughout every phase of a project A warm, collaborative client experience that makes every homeowner feel seen, heard, and supported Tom is proud of the team environment he’s built. “I couldn’t do what I do without my team,” he says. “We all bring something different to the table, and we’re always helping each other push the work further.

There’s no ego here—just a shared passion for great design.” Serving New Jersey—and Beyond

Design Studio Somerville proudly serves clients throughout Central and Northern New Jersey, including towns such as Somerville, Bridgewater, Basking Ridge, Bernardsville, Bedminster, Far Hills, Flemington, Hillsborough, Mendham, Morristown, Peapack-Gladstone, Princeton, Short Hills, Warren, Watchung, and other surrounding communities.

But Tom’s reach doesn’t stop there. Thanks to technology, he and his team are available to clients nationwide, offering virtual consultations, remote design packages, and cross-country project management.

Whether you're in California planning a new beach house, furnishing a ski home in Utah, or designing a vacation property in Florida, Tom has done it—and continues to do it. “We’ve worked on homes from coast to coast,” Tom says. “With video calls, digital planning tools, and trusted shipping partners, we can manage everything—from measuring and product selection to installation oversight—no matter where you are.” Your Home.

Your Vision. Our Expertise. Tom’s process is always client-centered. Whether you're building from the ground up or simply refreshing one room, he and his team begin by learning how you live and what you want from your space. From there, they create a personalized design that reflects your lifestyle, taste, and needs. Tom is known for obsessing over details—from remeasuring spaces two and three times, to evaluating how a drapery panel affects the balance of a room. He makes sure every piece, color, and layout decision contributes to a space that feels like home the moment you walk in.

Classic, Timeless Design


 

 


 

 

 


Function Meets Fashion


At Design Studio of Somerville, we believe great design should look beautiful—and live beautifully, too.

This project is a perfect example. Our client needed a space that could keep up with real life: two kids, a large dog, frequent guests, and everyday chaos. But they also wanted it to feel refined, cohesive, and timeless.

So, we designed a room that delivers both. Durable finishes, smart layouts, and family-friendly fabrics make the space effortless to use. Thoughtful lighting, balanced proportions, and a curated palette ensure it still feels elevated and pulled together.

It’s not just functional. It’s fashionable. It’s not just beautiful. It’s built to last.

This is what we do every day—designing spaces that serve your lifestyle without compromising on style.
Take a look at the before photos, and explore the 360° transformation to see how intentional design can shape the way a home feels, flows, and functions.

Peace of Mind, Your Style, Our Expertise, Partners in Design

We keep “YOU” in your interior design.

Our sensible, low-pressure methodology helps you control the design process. It’s a concept that makes the notion of hiring an interior designer much less daunting.

We do:

  • Keep as many of your existing furnishings in the redesign as possible.
  • Help you learn what you like and dislike, what you want and don’t want.
  • Match design ideas to your budget.
  • Leave the “designer attitude” out of the mix.

We don’t:

  • Make you get rid of everything and start from scratch.
  • Take away your say in the design and style of your space.
  • Order only the most expensive furnishings and accessories.
  • Tell you what to do and buy.

Our hands-on process includes 3 quick and easy collaborative consultations.

1) We visit your home, evaluate your space, soak in your style and taste, take measurements and pictures, and ask lots of questions!

2) You are then invited to our showroom where we present design ideas based on your needs—furniture, fabric swatches, paint colors, wallpaper samples, and more. Our detailed quote leaves nothing to surprise.

3) We fine-tune our ideas with your expectations and desires and make the design decisions we know you will love. 

With DSOS, there is no minimum amount you need to spend on your design elements, and we offer a variety of styles and multiple price points to suit all tastes and budgets.

You have the option of having a design specialist arrange your new space for you, which takes the guesswork out of your hands and brings each finished room to life with an allure that many homeowners tell us they would not have achieved otherwise. All in all, our approach to design is a breakthrough service that is changing the perception of working with interior designers and that our new and repeat clients rave about.
