Buddy Warren is known as “The Pad Shrink” — a designer who blends aesthetics, psychology and craftsmanship to create homes that reflect who you are and how you want to live.
 

 

A Different Kind of Designer

 

Before becoming an interior designer and contractor, Buddy was a cognitive-behavioral therapist. That background shapes his entire approach to design.
 

He listens deeply.
He asks the right questions.
He helps clients discover what they actually want — not just what they think they should want.
 

Buddy believes design is both creative and therapeutic. He guides clients in finding their “Inner Decorator” — their innate ability to create beauty and functionality in their own lives.

A Soho Original

In 1994, when Soho was still emerging as an artistic and commercial hub, Buddy opened Cranberry Hole Road, the first antique shop and coffee bar in New York City. Located on Lafayette Street, the space featured a hand-painted trompe l’oeil mosaic floor that quickly became a destination in itself.
 

The shop attracted artists, collectors, and notable personalities — many of whom later became design clients. This early fusion of art, hospitality, and curated interiors paved a foundation for what Buddy Warren Home has become today.

Holistic Interior Design & Contracting

Buddy’s signature philosophy is holism. Every project is viewed as a complete ecosystem — from layout and light to color, energy, materials, and furnishings.
 

As both designer and licensed contractor, Buddy provides a rare advantage in NYC:

• One cohesive vision

• One accountable leader

• One highly skilled, mindful crew

From decluttering and conceptual design to renovation, painting, custom installations and furnishing, Buddy Warren Home delivers a seamless, hands-on experience from inception to completion.
