Downtown NYC Apartment Gets a Refreshing and Colorful Makeover

ByMyProperty Life

Every New York City apartment has a style of its own and each one brings with it something unique in terms of how décor is used and overall visual appeal. This Downtown NYC apartment is no different with Rinaldi Interiors transforming a small apartment into a fabulous and colorful space where it is the furniture that makes the biggest difference. In the small living room, a comfortable couch in bluish-gray welcomes you indoors with the rug in dark blue accentuating the colorful charm. A bright red club chair on the opposite side as the small living room starts to transition into the dining area just next to it.

The dining area is ultra-tiny with a round table in white and chairs in pastel pink. A large indoor plant with a light pink platter sits just next to it with a small yellow chair on the opposite side of the room. Lighting comes in the form of pendant lights and floor lamps in the corner while curated accessories bring both color and pattern to the open plan living. Every little detail has been carefully placed to fit in with the overall contemporary eclectic style of the apartment that feels bright and captivating.

    This project was a true evolution of design. The owners originally approached DC+A about 10 years ago to design an informal home on their narrow cliff-side lot in the resort community of Lago Vista outside of Austin, TX. The couple worked with our firm remotely, trusting us to design their dream home. The original designs were for the narrow lot, but when a piece of land became available next door, the owners bought it and decided to re-envision their dream home to stretch across both pieces of property and leave more “breathing room” for the neighboring properties. The ultimate design is a 4,000 square foot limestone-clad home that frames views of the Colorado River from every room. The home uses some classic hill country and contemporary features that lend themselves well to the Central Texas lakeside setting, incorporated in a beautifully laid-back way. Featuring clerestory windows, floor to ceiling retractable glass doors and multi-purpose rooms, the home has an incredible quality and depth of natural light. The furnishings complement the architecture while remaining both casual and durable. Concrete floors add to the easy-going personality of the home, while redwood finishes outside and white oak inside reflect the riverside setting. The landscaping echoes the home’s relaxed nature with indigenous plants, while the Texas-sourced Antique Lueders Limestone finishing the exterior walls roots the home firmly in its setting.
