Meryl Toback

Marked by her innate creativity and an unwavering passion for the arts, Meryl Toback is a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, where she majored in interior design. She also studied at the New York Society of Interior Design and Pratt Institute, and is an active member of the American Institute of Interior Designers.

She opened the doors to her own design studio, Meryl Toback Interiors, in 1996, after honing her skills at several boutique firms in New York City.

Prior to that, Meryl lent her hand creating store windows for the famed Henri Bendel and took home awards from the Village Alliance Society for the most creative window displays for independent stores in the East Village. In addition—after studying weaving, knitting, and other forms of fiber art at the Brooklyn Museum—she designed handmade sweaters and woven goods for fashion labels such as Mary McFadden, Michael Vollbracht and Carlos Falchi, which captured the attention of several national television shows and made the pages of numerous international fashion magazines. Meryl also takes great pride in having worked with the famed contractor Stephen Fanuka, of DIY Network's Million Dollar Contractor, and having their ‘Glass House’ project air on his show.

With local projects ranging from Soho loft to Sagaponack beach house—as well as homes farther afield in St. Maarten, San Francisco, Palm Beach, and London—Meryl’s portfolio of work is a testament to her eclectic ideology.

A lifelong New Yorker, Meryl currently resides with her husband and Cavapoo puppy in a 19th-century Neo-Grec brownstone in Manhattan near her loving children and grandchildren.
