One thing in particular in this updated apartment has us border-line obsessed.
-
Neutrals ‘n’ more.
Bespoke built-ins and soothing curves feature heavily in this new favourite fit-out — the Bond Street apartment by US design firm Home Studios, who modernised the New York dwelling within a landmark 1925 building for a young family. Subtly encouraging a sense of playfulness, the curves are a nod to late Finnish architect Alvar Aalto’s shapely forms, but it’s the contrasting edging that enhances them — such as this headboard’s walnut timber and the copper borders around the door frames and skirtings — that really gets us going. It’s an effect you could also achieve with paint, amid pieces like these in calming neutrals offset by moody blue and rich earth tones.
