All involved in the renovation were committed to balancing \u201cbeauty with functionality,\u201d Mars says, pointing to standout pieces like the Santambrogio & De Berti mirror that greets visitors in the foyer, and the custom dining table for 12 by Fong Construction Corp.<\/a>, complete with a marble lazy Susan.<\/p>\n

Lighting fixtures that pack a visual punch are another design through line, says Moirano. A ribbonlike Gaetano Sciolari pendant<\/a> in the entry hall, an A-N-D Iris pendant<\/a> resembling a giant orb in the breakfast room, a 1960s G.C.M.E. ceiling light<\/a> in Mars\u2019s office, and a conical Carlos Nason \u201cBirillo\u201d floor lamp in the family room\u2014as well as that vintage Sputnik chandelier now hanging in the parlor\u2014are but a few of the home\u2019s noteworthy luminaires.<\/p>\n

In the family room, an artwork by Aurel K. Basedow is flanked by a pair of 1960s Tulipan sconces by J.T. Kalmar. Custom sectional upholstered in a Chase Erwin fabric<\/a>; custom suede throw pillows; vintage Outrigger coffee table<\/a> by John Keal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love statement lighting,\u201d says Goldfarb before waxing rhapsodic about a bespoke Murano glass showstopper made of more than 100 handblown barbell-shaped components that hangs over the dining room table. It was inspired by a vintage model seen at auction. \u201cWe really pumped it up,\u201d he continues. \u201cAnd I love that it\u2019s so big.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even surrounded by so many statement pieces, Miller was clear that she wanted her home to feel less like a design museum and more like a \u201ctranquil\u201d cocoon, hence the bleached-walnut Versailles parquet floors and shades of warm sienna, blush, and aubergine that abound. \u201cI\u2019ve been in situations where you walk into a place and it\u2019s too stuffy and you feel like, oh, I don\u2019t belong here,\u201d she says. \u201cI want anyone who comes into our home to feel like they are welcome, that they belong.\u201d<\/p>\n
