Meet Yelena Gerts and The Women of House of Style & Design<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Yelena Gerts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Founder & Principal Interior Designer<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Yelena<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When did your love affair with design begin? And how did it make you feel?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My father was an antique collector, and I grew up surrounded by beauty from different centuries. Both my father and mother loved decorating, design, and fashion. Growing up exposed to that world sparked my interest in the design industry. It felt magical\u2014being immersed in timeless elegance and creativity made everything feel richer and more inspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us a bit about your path and what led to your decision to start House of Style & Design?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t start with House of Style & Design right away. My career began with luxury cosmetic brands, where I handled overall business management. I always knew I wanted to pursue design, but I wasn\u2019t sure which area. So I explored everything\u2014from fashion to floral arrangements to events\u2014gradually finding my way to where I truly belong: luxury residential interior design. Launching House of Style & Design felt like coming home; it combined my business acumen with my passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you recall any critical turning point when you realized your business was succeeding?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I remember that moment exactly. The minute I realized who I am and who my ideal client is, everything changed. I started catering specifically to them, and my career took off like wildfire. Early on, I was advised to be “relatable” and blend into any environment. That didn\u2019t work\u2014I love wearing high heels, dressing up, and embracing luxury fashion and style. When I embraced that authenticity, I found clients who appreciated luxury, quality, and stylish interiors. Once I aligned with them, the business ignited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Luxury<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What do you consider your greatest achievement to date?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My greatest achievement is building a business I absolutely love while providing exceptional service to my clients. Creating incredible systems for smooth project execution has been transformative. Equally meaningful is offering my team a livelihood, a place where they feel inspired, empowered, and able to learn and grow. And personally, my showroom dream has come to life as a dedicated space for client collaborations\u2014it\u2019s been years in the making and now enhances our concierge-level experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who has contributed most to your success?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My team has been a huge factor throughout the years\u2014their loyalty and dedication have brought me where I am today. And of course, my amazing clients, who have let me be part of their lives for so many years, trusted me and our process, and allowed us to be incredibly creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What surprised you most about growing a business?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As a business owner, sometimes you have to be very assertive and make tough decisions that are good for the overall business. They\u2019re not always easy, but they\u2019re necessary. That balance of heart and strategy was a real eye-opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us about your most demanding client and what you learned from the experience.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The majority of our clients are very demanding\u2014and that\u2019s absolutely normal. They\u2019re investing in the best and expect nothing less. That demanding philosophy aligns perfectly with my business model of concierge-level, personalized luxury service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"luxury<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How do you handle negative feedback or criticism of your work?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve learned to handle constructive criticism or negative feedback with a simple, effective approach: I acknowledge and truly hear what the client has to say. I always do my best to solve the issue and make them happy, as long as it\u2019s reasonable. Both sides\u2014clients and our trades\u2014are very important to us, so I make sure to listen to both stories and find fair resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you could have done something different, what would it be?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If I could start all over again, there are only two things I would do differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number one: Don\u2019t give my time away for free. As I\u2019m getting older, I realize how valuable and precious time is, and giving it away to people who don\u2019t appreciate our value is just not worth it.
The other lesson: Don\u2019t hold onto anyone who does not want to be here. It’s a privilege to be a part of our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What helps you move forward with your business despite the inevitable struggles?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When things get a little challenging, I accept the challenge and come up with a plan. I strategize, perfect, restore, recharge, reorganize, and use this time to improve and learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lately, we’ve been fully invested in AI for efficiency and productivity and have been getting incredible results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I have to say that we rarely get this opportunity :).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"luxury<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Who is Yelena Gerts, the woman of House of Style & Design?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In real life, I\u2019m a mother to three wonderful boys, married to the love of my life, a mom to two very playful golden retrievers. I love living life to the fullest\u2014I love to travel, spend time with family and friends, while taking a million pictures along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When women invest in other women, we all rise together. Do you have any specific thoughts about working with women on your team<\/span>?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I feel lucky and privileged to be surrounded by the most talented, dedicated, and hard-working women on my team who inspire me every day. I understand what they go through at different phases of life, and I fully support them every step of the way. I care deeply about their professional growth and development, their success, mental health, and financial independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What advice would you give to someone starting their career in design?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My main pieces of advice: Be patient, realistic, and honest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a very difficult business, despite what social media and TV make it look like. Be honest with your clients about what you know and what you\u2019re still learning. Most importantly, gain as much experience as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any mottos you like to live by?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My favorite motto is:
“Don\u2019t take no for an answer.”
And from my own philosophy:
“When you add style and class to the ordinary, it becomes extraordinary.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s next for Yelena and House of Style & Design?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Oh my God, we\u2019re working on the most incredible projects right now\u2014all of them are “pinch me” kind of dreams come true. With exciting new collaborations on the horizon, the future is brighter than ever. We\u2019re continuing to elevate luxury living, one extraordinary space at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
