To make an exciting impression from the moment anyone walks into this apartment, the designer chose wallpaper with a bark-like pattern and a dark jewel-toned color for the ceiling. A shagreen console adds to the layers of texture.
This living room tries something new and unexpected with its layered rugs: The top rug, in strong black, is positioned diagonally, instead of parallel, to the sofa. The move pulls the eye across the space and breaks up the room's boxy shape.
Patterns are the primary source of visual interest in this master bedroom, stripes on the floor and bed linens, geometric prints popping up by the armchair.
Because the home's floor plan is so open, the designers used area rugs to visually differentiate the living room from the dining area. From here, guests can see the stairs that lead to the second level as well.
The stainless steel appliances in this gourmet kitchen become part of the snappy display. They gleam against white cabinets and countertops. A petite rug adds a touch of soft.
