New York designer takes on leadership roles
To say Toni Sabatino paid her dues before striking out on her own is an understatement. Working with a kitchen cabinet manufacturer and then a distributor in house, the designer amassed a portfolio of over 1,000 kitchens before starting her own Long Island, NY-based firm Toni Sabatino Style.
An award-winning kitchen designer, Sabatino has designed residential and commercial projects on Long Island as well as in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and beyond New York’s borders to resort destinations including Vermont, Palm Beach and Las Vegas. Her style is a mix of high and low design elements, with a focus on distinctive details, large-scale, rich colors and sophisticated patterns.
Sabatino’s expertise goes beyond standard kitchen design, with her interest piqued by the idea of creating safe, accessible spaces for everyone, regardless of physical, cognitive, developmental or mobile levels of functioning. She has earned a CLIPP certification as a Certified Living in Place Professional.
A recipient of several Best of Houzz Awards and an Interior Design Society Designer of the Year Award for Kitchens, Sabatino has extended her reach as a designer, collaborating with Baden Haus Spa to create The Retro Collection, a line of Italian-crafted bath furniture.
As president of the Manhattan Chapter of NKBA for 2018-2019, the designer is displaying her skills as an industry leader. Sabatino is also an active member of the Interior Design Society and the Sustainable Furnishings Council. She travels as a blogger and DesignHound with Modenus, and continues to be a featured speaker at industry events.
