<\/a>Nicholas Sargent1Statement LightingAaron Dougherty<\/p>\nIn the “Emerald Room” by Tula Summerford of Design by Tula<\/a>, the hand-blown glass chandelier resembles orchids and “bathes the room in a tender, warm glow, intensifying the lush green palette while casting dancing reflections that evoke an air of enchantment,” the designer says. This sanctuary was designed for the lady of the house and is wrapped in a glossy emerald hue and accented with rich velvets, dramatic curtains from The Shade Store<\/a>, and finished off with a gilded ceiling that reflects the warm light. <\/p>\n 2Animal Accents Philip Thomas Vanderford of Studio Thomas James<\/a> added dimension and more intrigue to this regal salon space with animal-patterned accents, specifically on twin Klismos chairs and a late 20th-century Donghia Versailles bench by John Hutton that acts as an ottoman. The fabric, called Hear Me Roar in Sahara, brings an intimate playfulness to this “Belvedere Room” without taking away from the layered elegance of the space. <\/p>\n Advertisement – Continue Reading Below<\/p>\n 3Bamboo Details In a room that’s meant to evoke the beauty of the natural world while still feeling sophisticated and elegant, it makes sense why designer Paloma Contreras<\/a> would furnish her room, called “The Morning Garden,” with Maison Drucker\u2019s woven rattan chairs and floral patterns. This room displays how bamboo details can look in a setting more refined, imaginative, and livable, capturing that sunroom feel.<\/p>\n Bamboo can also be found in Lori Paranjape’s of Mrs. Paranjape Design + Interiors<\/a> flamboyant space, too, flanking either side of the game table. The bases of the floor lamps are shaped like stalks of plants, just in a warm golden finish. <\/p>\n 4Ceiling Murals Hand-painted by herself and artist Anne Meredith<\/a>, designer Sarah Stacey<\/a> created the folk-inspired mural that crowns this moody room, titled “The Last Room.” Stacey describes the space as “an experience of color, classic old-world motifs, and a surreal couture edge.” She looked to Medieval Bavaria and the Schiaparelli runways to design this whimsical refuge with a clear appreciation for craftsmanship and history. Vintage finds meld with modern techniques, resulting in a room that’s collected and dramatic, with the wine-like color of the ceiling (swathed in Dark Walnut by Benjamin Moore<\/a>) being the cherry on top. <\/p>\n Advertisement – Continue Reading Below<\/p>\n 5Textured Walls Designing a transitional space can be a challenge; you want to make it a moment of its own, even when it’s typically something people just walk through. However, designer Joshua Bernard<\/a> transformed this hallway (and a glorious bathroom off of it) into something moody, warm, and alluring, giving it a spotlight. The bittersweet chocolate Venetian plaster walls by Benjamin Moore soak in the golden light illuminating from the Arteriors<\/a> chandeliers and reflecting off the Holly Hunt<\/a> wallcovering on the ceiling. Cloaked in texture, the deep tones of the walls give the space depth and make it feel even more intimate. <\/p>\n 6Luxe Board Games Laura Lubin of Ellerslie Interiors<\/a> designed her “Moonlight Pavilion” to be the ideal mahjong room, honoring Asian artistry and drawing inspiration from the “cosmopolitan glamour of 1930s Shanghai,” she says. The intimate lounge space is comfortable for those not playing as much as it is for those who are\u2014spectators get to lounge on layered seating or make cocktails at an Arteriors Manhattan bar cabinet, hidden by custom screens upholstered in Schumacher<\/a> fabric. The actual players get to sit around a Brigitte fossilized stone table from Made Goods<\/a> as they handle a Macao mahjong set from Herm\u00e8s. <\/p>\n Advertisement – Continue Reading Below<\/p>\n 7Chrome Touches Past and present merge in Shane & Pierce<\/a>‘s “Retro Avenir” lounge atop the stairs. The duo behind this space, Evan Shane Krenzien and Pierce Jordan, wanted to imagine how modern and vintage may look in years to come, which came out in draped walls, lacquered ceilings by AB Custom Painting, luminescent silken drapery by the Shade Store, and metallic, specifically chrome, finishes. <\/p>\n 8Transportive Curtains “The Rumor Room” by Joe Ireland of JD Ireland<\/a> is wrapped in Sandra Jordan Alpaca fabric, working as drapery that was installed by The Shade Store. The feature “envelops the room in warmth and texture, enhancing its inviting allure,” Ireland says, while the custom mirrored wall in gold tile from TileBar<\/a> behind the greyhounds commands the space with contemporary edge. The room is layered, sexy, and intimate, and forces you to face yourself as conversation lingers over whispered confessions\u2014unless you close the curtains. <\/p>\n Advertisement – Continue Reading Below<\/p>\n 9Dog Statuettes Twin Italian greyhounds stand guard in Lori Paranjape<\/a>‘s saturated \u201cJaded FlamBOYance\u201d space leading to a cheeky men’s restroom, where the line between masc and femme blurs. The dog statuettes flank an antique sideboard from Nick Brock & Company Antiques<\/a>, and they even have a poodle friend in another nook off this hallway, which watches over a game of chess played on a custom game table by Coley Home<\/a>.<\/p>\n 10Dramatic Molding In collaboration with German artist Florian Meisenberg<\/a>, designer Jean Liu<\/a> transformed Renaissance architecture into a digital illusion. The installation turns the classical rotunda into a simulated grid space with blue perspective lines stretching across the walls as floating paintings appear as glitches or windows into alternate worlds. Molding, trim, and wainscoting can be found in many other spaces throughout the house, though it’s not as dramatic as this grand central zone.<\/p>\n Advertisement – Continue Reading Below<\/p>\n 11Suspended Artwork Gallery walls are about to be given a bit more flair\u2014in many spaces in the show house, you can find art suspended by chains, a traditional treatment typically found in museums. In designer Katharine Pooley<\/a>‘s “The Study,” she hangs artwork from a system constructed by Collier Webb that has “been carefully curated to suggest the intimacy and intention of a collection assembled over a lifetime,” she says. Pieces from Piero Centofanti, Quintessa Art, Deborah Tarr, and Pooley’s personal collection can be found in this elevated and contemporary escape. <\/p>\n 12Convex MirrorsNick Sargent<\/p>\nAimee Mazzenga<\/p>\nStephen Karlisch<\/p>\nPatrick Biller<\/p>\nAnnie Schlechter<\/p>\nPatrick Biller<\/p>\nElliott Fuerniss<\/p>\nMarco Ricca<\/p>\nLisa Petrole<\/p>\nMarco Ricca<\/p>\nDouglas Friedman<\/p>\n
