This sophisticated New York City apartment awash in neutrals and reminiscent of breezy California design is this weeks addition to my Inspired Interiors series. With amazing views, keeping the interior subtle allowed the surroundings to be the star. Shortly after starting the design project, the owners discovered they were expecting, giving the project an immediate deadline. The results are nothing short of spectacular and include one of the chicest nurseries I’ve ever seen!
It’s safe to say I am completely obsessed with all things white, bright, grey and brass. So it’s no wonder that when I came across this gorgeous Nashville home I fell in love instantly and had to feature it in my Inspired Interiors Series.
The home was designed by the incredible duo behind Pencil and Paper Co., Gen and Benjamin Sohr, who masterfully paired crisp white walls with soft grey and warm brass accents to create the most lovely palette. How beautiful is that painted brick? And the School House Electric lighting throughout the home has me ready to overhaul all of the lighting in my own space!
I believe the old adage: you only get one first impression to be true – both in life and in the home. From the moment someone walks into your space, an impression is set.
Which is why the entry way is the perfect place to set the tone for your home. I absolutely love this entry way designed by Becky Owens. Smart, functional and high on style.
When designing your entry way, start by determining what needs must be met. Storage for scarfs, toques umbrellas, etc? Somewhere to toss your keys or the mail? Something to perch on while putting on shoes? Once you’ve determined what you need in the space, the fun begins!
