View from hallway into the master bedroom of a townhouse gut renovation in Chelsea, Manhattan, NYC

The interior design of this garden level apartment inside a historic Chelsea townhome sought to reflect the youthful and warm energy of its inhabitants.

The renovation included a full gut of the existing space: 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms, an office, and garden. The ceilings were raised and a reclaimed wood was added to create a warmth that spoke to the original detailing of the home.
The kitchen renovation included simple, white kitchen shaker style kitchen cabinetry that was complimented by a bright, yellow, Italian range.


This combination of sophistication and whimsy made its way throughout the rest of the space. The master bedroom was designed to exude warmth and intimacy. The fireplace was updated to have a modern look, offset by painted, exposed brick. We designed a custom asymmetrical headboard that hung off the wall and extended to the encapsulate the width of the room. We selected three silk bamboo rugs of complimenting colors to overlap and surround the bed. This theme of layering: simple, monochromatic whites and creams makes its way around the room and draws attention to the warmth and wood at the floor and ceilings.


The brief for the living room included creating a space that is comfortable, modern and where the couple’s young children can play and make a mess. We selected a bright, vintage rug to anchor the space on top of which we added a myriad of seating opportunities that can move and morph into whatever is required for playing and entertaining.
The entire backyard facing facade needed replacing and was sourced to accommodate the historic look of the home, and its Landmarked Status.
