Delia Kenza is a Brooklyn-based interior designer who specializes in complete renovations of urban living spaces. She officially launched her career in home design nine years ago, putting her stamp on a diverse range of projects – from her own real estate investments to renovations for clients who place trust in her design vision for their homes.
She realized her passion for design at a young age, heavily influenced by Delia, the grandmother whose name she shares. “She was elegant in everything she did, everything she wore, and in how she lived,” Delia says. A seamstress by trade, Delia Kenza’s grandmother surrounded herself with beauty.
Preferring bold, clean lines, a muted palette, natural materials and a neutral palette augmented by carefully chosen color accents, Delia Kenza creates custom interiors with a modern aesthetic that incorporates subtle touches of the past. This parallel appreciation for the past and present results in a delicate, comfortable and thoroughly pleasing balance that bucks current trends, is never static, and relies on her organic sense of what works.
Buoyed by her grandmother’s influence and a life of rich experiences, (including a short stint as a self-taught auto mechanic, and years as a successful lawyer, Delia Kenza’s design inclinations have resulted in beautiful, practical and unique interiors. Her work has been featured in publications like New York Magazine, Brownstoner and Dwell. She is one of 50 designers featured in Carl Dellatore’s book, On Style Inspiration and Advice from the New Generation of Interior Design and has appeared on platforms such as, HGTV and Open House New York.
What Does Black History Month Mean To You This Year?
For me, Black History is every day because Black history is American history. But, this year, Black History Month means so much more to so many. We had a heart-wrenching last few years, and our contributions and voices must be recognized, seen, and heard. Black people are standing firm and are continuing to refuse to be put in a box.
