With their children out of the house, the clients were ready to fully reinvent their home—infusing it with color, confidence, and ease. This full-floor renovation transformed the apartment into a space for dressing up, entertaining, and enjoying daily life without worry or restraint.
A high-design breakfast nook replaced a former study, and the entertaining spaces were reimagined with rich color and bold pattern. The wife’s dressing room, with its peach walls and vibrant rug, became a centerpiece of the design—both personal and expressive. A new walk-in closet and expanded bedroom suite gave the husband a sense of retreat, with layered color and custom storage throughout.
Each room reflects a balance of style and comfort, grounded in the couple’s tastes, travels, and personal routines. The result is a tailored interior that celebrates personality and makes space for pleasure—with nothing off-limits.
