Life is far from perfect. The milk gets spilled. The kids throw up. The dog has to go to the emergency vet at 4am. You may have forgotten the last time you showered. I think that’s why amazingly beautiful spaces has such appeal. They offer the dream that maybe, one day, your life will look just as put together.
The cold truth is that’s highly unlikely, but we all need a goal to strive for. My current goal is this stunning NYC apartment designed by Sissy & Marley.
This space oozes order, structure and luxurious comfort thanks to its black & white color palette (my fave), use of geometric patterns, and strong architectural lines – and I’m here for it.
Obsessed with the variety of textures in this entryway vignette. Marble, wood, sheepskin, leather, steel and glass all mix to keep a uniform color palette from becoming monotone. Also squiggly branches in a vase have never looked so good. Perfect mid-winter decorating idea.
And then there’s this sumptuous kitchen! It’s ditching the white kitchen trend – woot. And I spy more graphic patterns with that throw rug. But ai’m also swooning over the details – all black spoons and cutting boards. A mix of black an white marble counters. All kinds of contrasts are at play in this space and it really really works.
I don’t know what I love more – the Sawkille Co bench or that amazing steel mesh curiosity cabinet!
The eat-in kitchen nook (if you can call a full dining table a nook) is all kinds of gorgeous. Loving the oversized art in this space.
Although the formal dining area is equally as stunning! It’s a light and airy juxtaposition to the moodiness of the kitchen.
The beautiful attention to detail, the use of standout, statement making pieces and the uniform color palette continue into the bedroom.
This little mini work area is pure genius.
Subtle textures and luxe materials continue straight into the bathroom. Really loving the heft of that sink.
And if all that weren’t enough, the kids’ bedroom and play area is next level cool.
Now let’s be real. This home features many a high piece. Everything from Apparatus Studio lighting and accessories to classic Carl Hansen dining chairs, case pieces by BBDW, one-of-kind vintage and even Hermes throw blankets. A resource list like that certainly makes it much easier to look ultra pulled together.
But more than that, this home is a lesson in continuity. In doing more with less – making sure every piece of furniture, light fixture and accessory is there to be noticed. When our lives get chaotic it can be really easy to get mired in the mess. But just remember, this too shall pass and you can bring back order and calm again.
Or just come back and stare at this home tour. I know I will be.
