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.

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.
