Redefining Old World Elegance for a Modern Renaissance
Drawn to the art of presentation, Maxwell Tyler Reagan, founder of Maxwell Tyler Interiors, is fusing contemporary and classic elements for innovative designs with exceptional eye appeal.
“I’m inspired by, and love history - and that translates into my designs,” said Max.
To create visually stunning work, Max relaxes into a client’s vision and incorporates the pieces they love into a comfortable home with timeless style.

More than a Pretty Face
Maxwell Reagan grew up in Queensbury and studied at the New York Institute of Art and Design and Johnson and Wales University in Rhode Island before living in New York City, Brazil, and Los Angeles. He returned to the area 18 months ago and has been creating spaces that exude refinement ever since.
Drawn to his Ballston Spa studio for its proximity to family and the rich antiques market that surrounds it, Maxwell Tyler Interiors’ designs are a voyage into the land of achievable opulence.
His sophisticated style was on display at the 2024 Saratoga Showcase of Homes in the Trojanski Builders’ custom home, 32 Chloe’s Way, revealing how clean lines, weathered woods, and handcrafted textures lend themselves to exquisitely intentional looks.
Laid-Back Glamour
Inspired by classical antiquity, Max’s design influences range from the neoclassical (as found in the architecture of the Trianon Estate at the Chateau de Versailles) to the symmetrical, incorporating the brilliance of a polished modern line to contrast the warmth and ease of loose natural fibers.
Through a thoughtful placement of remarkable pieces rooted in tradition, Max’s discerning use of deep, earthy colors, elevated neutrals, and pieces of unparalleled craftsmanship comes together within welcoming formal spaces that feel luxurious, yet lived-in.

Max recently redesigned the Trojanski Builders’ showroom, at
627 Maple Ave., in Saratoga Springs, transforming it from a blank slate into a “slightly dramatic” exhibition space that brings together the talents of the contractor’s vendors in one cohesively beautiful place. Featuring walnut panel walls, Steinberger Woodworks custom cabinetry, an impenetrably dark ceiling, and fun lighting, this is a space with exemplary style.
Magnificent Restraint
Investing in well thought-out designs now will save you money in the long run, said Max. By creating a full 3D computer-rendered model of a client’s interior design plan before they ever step foot inside their new home, he builds a solid foundation for an exceptional experience.
“With 3D rendering, you can see how it will look when it’s completely finished (before work begins). You’re not going to get that level of transparency with a mood board, paint samples, fabric swatches, and sketches,” said Max.
From mapping out moldings, to adjusting color palettes, modern technology is an integral element of Maxwell Tyler Interior’s approachable elegance.
“Great design can be attainable for anybody, and we can create it together,” said Max.
