Delia Kenza is a Brooklyn-based interior designer who specializes in complete renovations of urban living spaces. She officially launched her career in home design nine years ago, putting her stamp on a diverse range of projects – from her own real estate investments to renovations for clients who place unequivocal trust in her design vision for their homes.

She realized her passion for design at a young age, heavily influenced by Delia, the grandmother whose name she shares. “She was elegant in everything she did, everything she wore, and in how she lived,” Delia says. A seamstress by trade, Delia Kenza’s grandmother surrounded herself with beauty. From the “emerald green slubbed silk” she used to reupholster her sofa, to the “delicate porcelain dishes” in her cabinets, it was clear to Delia Kenza, even as a child, that her grandmother was a person of quality and style with exquisite taste. 

Today, the grandmother’s namesake puts her own interpretation on what elegance means in the 21stcentury. Preferring bold, clean lines, natural materials and a neutral palette augmented by carefully chosen color accents, Delia Kenza creates custom interiors with a very modern aesthetic that incorporates subtle touches of the past. This parallel appreciation for the past and present results in a delicate, comfortable and thoroughly pleasing balance that bucks current trends, is never static, and relies on her organic sense of what works. Drawing inspiration from “almost any physical source” around her – Delia is influenced by everything from an evening spent at the ballet to a museum exhibit.

Buoyed by her grandmother’s influence and a life of rich experiences, (including a short stint as a self-taught auto mechanic, and years as a successful lawyer, Delia Kenza’s design inclinations have resulted in beautiful, practical and unique interiors. Her work has been featured in publications like New York Magazine and Brownstoner and on platforms such as, HGTV and Open House New York.

Delia Kenza resides in Brooklyn with her husband and two daughters.
