Residential Project / Financial District, New York Tired of going to the museum? Build your own and lose yourself in it. ​ Located in the heart of New York City, next to Wall Street, is a stylish one-bedroom apartment that showcases a striking monochrome color scheme. The living area has been thoughtfully designed to feature shades of black, gray, and white, creating a sleek and sophisticated ambiance. However, the interior designer wanted to infuse the space with natural colors to add some vitality to the room. As a result, the living area also features a touch of green as a sub-color, bringing the outdoors inside. In line with the minimalist and modern design ethos of the apartment, the furniture selection is centered around the concept of "sculpture-like" pieces. Every furniture item is carefully curated and placed to create an art gallery-like effect. Each item stands out on its own, like an individual artwork on display. As you explore the living area, you'll feel as if you're wandering around in a museum, surrounded by pieces that are both functional and artistic. Ultimately, the designer's intention is to create a living area that is not just a functional space but a visually stunning exhibit that immerses you in the world of modern art and design. -HOLM Interior Design

Pony wall from entry replaced an open iron rail. New wider wall provides privacy at entry, a display area for artwork and a more secure feeling in the living room. Before this new wall was built, the stairway was 8' wide. It was an attempt at grandeur, but left those traveling them feeling small and a bit lost in the too wide stairway. By reducing the scale of the stairway the path became more inviting. A bit counter intuitive, but sometimes you feel your way to good design.

With a budget of $3,000 and a two-month timeline, we set out to breathe new life into a dining area that felt more cramped than cozy. The transformation was not just about style; it was about creating a space that feels like home, a place where every piece tells a part of our client’s story. Table Upgrade: The original table was a quaint four-seater, perfect for the snug corners of a smaller apartment but it lost its charm in a larger space. We introduced a grand white marble table that not only made the room look more open but also blended seamlessly with the wood, stone, and rattan elements already present. This new table isn't just furniture; it's a gathering place, a spot that invites everyone to come together, share meals, and create memories. Ambient Lighting: The standard, fixed lighting in the apartment was too harsh and did little to enhance the inviting atmosphere we wanted to cultivate. Our solution was to install chic, renter-friendly wall sconces and scatter battery-powered candles across the table. Now, the lighting is just right—soft, warm, and perfect for setting the mood, whether it’s a lively dinner party or a quiet evening meal. Personalizing the Space: Beyond the aesthetics, it was important to our client that the space feel personal and heartfelt. We set up a gallery of family photos right across from the dining area. These aren’t just pictures; they’re windows into precious moments. We used innovative, rental-friendly magnetic frames that don't require nails, allowing our client the freedom to refresh the display as new memories are made. This dining area makeover was all about creating a space that not only looks beautiful but feels genuinely like a part of the family—a place where every element has its purpose and every detail adds to the story. We’ve transformed an ordinary space into our client’s favorite room in the house, where style meets personal history and creates the perfect backdrop for many more cherished moments.

Barbara and Gary's master bathroom had lost its spark. The colors were muted and monotonous, giving the room a tired feel. Functionality was another significant issue; the space was disjointed and inefficient. During the design phase, they collaborated with our in-house designer and one of the initial steps involved updating the color palette to infuse the design with a contemporary and quietness sense. The outdated cabinets were lacking in storage space, so we upgraded them to Solid Designer Series Corona Oyster Clear Alder cabinets, paired with Bianco Pearl Quartz countertops with a waterfall edge on the left side. The Jeffrey Alexander Boswell cabinet handles, coupled with the Delta Trinsic Widespread Faucets, infuse the space with a sense of elegance and vintage feel, completely transforming the room's overall feel. The old bathtub was no longer working, so they decided to add a large custom shower that included a wet area, pony wall, and dry-off area. They chose the Annie Selke Flora Coconut Milk Porcelain 18x18" tile to create a stunning wall. To craft a showstopper, we adorned the shower floor with Pebble Mosaic Warm Blend, achieving a breathtaking result. The remaining shower fixtures were impeccably selected to bring the dream shower to life. With the expertise and guidance from our team, Barbara & Gary have turned their old bathroom into their dream space, enhancing not only the property's value but also their daily living experience.
