About Philip Andrew
The Designer
Eleanor McManus
Founder & Principal Designer
With a keen eye for beauty and a deep understanding of how spaces shape our daily lives, Eleanor McManus founded Philip Andrew Interiors to bring thoughtful, elegant design to homes across New Jersey and the tri-state area.
Eleanor's approach blends classical sensibility with modern livability. Her background spans the full spectrum of interior design — from architectural floor plans and custom furniture to fabric selections, lighting, and the finishing touches that make a house feel like home.
Whether working on a sprawling shore estate or a cozy country retreat, Eleanor brings the same level of care, creativity, and commitment to every project. Her designs are known for their warmth, refinement, and the effortless way they bring a client's vision to life.
Our Values
What Guides Our Work
Every design decision is rooted in a set of principles that ensure each space we create is truly exceptional.
Timeless Over Trendy
We design spaces meant to endure — choosing quality, craftsmanship, and classic beauty over fleeting trends.
Client-Centered
Every project begins with understanding you — your lifestyle, tastes, and the way your home should make you feel.
Attention to Detail
From the weave of a fabric to the finish on a handle, it is the details that elevate a room from beautiful to extraordinary.
Warmth & Livability
A home should be lived in, not just looked at. We create spaces that are as comfortable as they are stunning.
