Haus Interior
Haus Interior is Elizabeth Street’s gem and one of our favorite Manhattan must stop pit stops for home décor, unique gifts, and items you never knew you always wanted. Don’t let the petite boutique size fool you; founder Nina Freudenberger offers a full service interior design and decorating for private residences, showcases, model residences, and commercial spaces. Her eye is immaculate with a proclivity to the modern zen lifestyle, and the portfolio featured on the store’s site is worth a perusal. The store offers gift and home items which have all been hand-selected; resin antlers for the hunter in your family, quirky stationery and coffee table books to match every whimsy, and my personal favorite – the Factory Bulb Sculpture for the light of your life. Can’t make it to Elizabeth Street? All gifts can be viewed and ordered online, but a visit to Haus Interior (where Nina is almost always present, ready to patiently advise or help select the perfect item) is guaranteed to delight ... and wait till you see the free gift wrapping.
