Over the years, I've often been invited into living rooms or family rooms that lack a focal point. While these spaces may look fine, they often feel directionless and unbalanced. That's where a built-in wall unit can work wonders! I've designed many wall units, ranging from simple bookshelves to those that accommodate flat-screen TVs or even feature elegant mirrored bars. Wall units have the power to truly transform a room, and I believe they are well worth the investment. Take a look at some of the stunning transformations below!
A FASHION FORWARD NEW INTERIOR DESIGN PROJECT IN CHELSEA FOR THE NEW FALL SEASON
I love talking about some of my favorite interior design projects. I just completed a new one in Chelsea, a lovely, storied NYC neighborhood with a decent amount of newly constructed or adapted modern residences, like this one. What makes this one different from most is that the elevator opens right into the apartment. This fun project for a fantastic client took about a year from start to finish.
This space was conceived for a family with two young children. The only initial directives were to design a welcoming entry with a "wow factor" to set the tone and to transform what was a somewhat boring living / dining room into a cool, colorful, and comfortable space for the whole family and guests to enjoy.
There are a lot of musicians in this family, the custom wall unit was built to house 5 guitars in addition to a television and bar. In the end, the piano was the only piece left over from the old space. I'm thrilled that this charming musical family is as happy as I am with the outcome of their new open living area!
