RIDGEWOOD
This is a reflection of the designer's personal style because this project is her very own home! An unusual railroad layout, each room is infused with color, intention, pattern play, and creating motifs that repeat themselves as you travel from room to room. Taking inspiration from a bit of every style, but to name a few, Midcentury modern, Art Deco, Shabby Chic, and some Hollywood Regency flare, this space is Ally's baby and is constantly evolving!
GREENWOOD LAKE
The vision: honor the cosy and original log cabin details while giving the space a romantic upgrade with a rustic & postmodern twist. This space was renovated by Doman Decors to add vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a dose of color inspired by the Mallard ducks spotted in the beautiful lake that oversees this property. The small square footage packs a big punch with whimsical wallpaper, limewashed walls, and organic textures for a perfect getaway experience.
HELL'S KITCHEN
Recently featured in Dwell Magazine, this is a sophisticated yet playful rental that celebrates a genuine love for Broadway (the major theaters are a stone throw away), color in a grounded and intentional way, and some of my favorites pieces to date (the pumpkin chairs are swoon worthy!). For the living room, we drew inspiration from the iconic Broadway poster, Sondheim's "Sunday in the Park with George", and for the bedroom we kept is soft, cool, and minimal with gold accents to marry the two rooms together.
BUSHWICK
This was Ally's very first interior design project: a his one bedroom home within a brand new apartment complex, my client wanted to avoid the feeling that his space was just another cookie cutter apartment. In the living room/kitchen area, we used curvy shapes and colorful hints of both warm and cool colors and meshed Midcentury vintage pieces with contemporary ones . For the bedroom, my client wanted a more neutral palette and minimal aesthetic, while infusing hints of the living room's aesthetic. My client said it best: "Both rooms feel like they are in the same quirky, colorful family.. probably cousins!"
PARK SLOPE
My client did not want to define her style, so when she hired me to give her gorgeous rental a facelift, we let the pieces of furniture come to us, and I designed the space as a colorful, free flowing eclectic haven, focusing on mixing vintage furniture and previously owned art of all different mediums. For her bedroom, she was inspired by Billie Eilish's monochromatic pink music video, "Happier Than Ever". I ran with this idea, and created a room fit for a princess! Because of the positioning of the bay windows, the room becomes warm and glowy as the sun sets, plus the midcentury crystal chandelier creates rainbows throughout the space during Golden Hour: my client's favorite time of day.
UPPER WEST SIDE
My client purchased this one bedroom home with the intention of making it her sanctuary in which she could host dinner parties, zoom with coworkers, and play dress up, all the while reflecting her girly, playful yet sophisticated style as a 20 something year old professional. Each room has a similar warmth to it, and we incorporated two bold patterns, the living room couch fabric and the bedroom accent wall paper, to achieve a bold and stylish aesthetic that complimented the preexisting architectural elements of the home.
