In this playfully grown-up living room, designer Barbara Ostrom set in motion a kinetic balance of old and new, classical and modern, luxurious and lived-in. She transports guests to an avid art collector’s library, and crowns it with a ceiling inspired by Frank Stella’s minimalist paintings.
Color Your Dreams
5月1日至5月31日，紐約上東區一座價值5,100萬美元的聯排別墅變身為一個設計奇幻世界，並對外開放。這裡就是Kips Bay Decorator Show House，今夏紐約最讓人興奮的設計盛事。22位頂級設計師的創意作品在這裡集聚一堂，展示著2018年室內設計的潮流。亮色便是其中一項非常顯著的趨勢。
