Suede Wallcoverings
In Jeremiah Brent’s “Study of Art and Beauty,” he employed a mix of tonal textures and modern pieces to pay homage to the Egyptian deity of beauty, Hathor. Black and white suede by Philip Jeffries covers the walls and ceiling here, bringing beautiful warmth to the room. Elsewhere in the home, interior designer Mikel Welch used a limewash paint in his room to mimic the material, and Shawn Henderson opted for a suede-like upholstered ceiling.
Reflective Ceilings
Nina Seirafi’s “opium den for Halston” is a sanctuary of alluring darkness, featuring stained oak panels, sleek black glass bricks, bespoke furniture, and a coat of shimmering silver roof paint for a contemporary twist. Seirafi covered the ceiling and part of the walls in the reflective paint and added a mirrored light fixture to further enhance its shine, bringing flashes of light into the room.
3-D Wall Art
In a living room meant to encourage relaxation, Aman & Meeks strove to create a welcome balance, making the space both inviting and refined. Bold pieces of art, including the three-dimensional scene against the black wall, were paired with tailored furnishings with sleek lines to create harmony. In the home’s stairway, Swati Goorha also incorporated a 3-D piece of art, this one featuring blue and white botanicals to symbolize transformation.
Creative Storage
“An homage to joy, the Wine Lounge is a sanctuary for celebrating life’s little pleasures and the art of hospitality,” says its designer Beth Diana Smith. “This space serves as a canvas for reimagining traditional wine cellar concepts in a refreshingly unexpected manner.” One of its surprising and intriguing factors is how the wine bottles are displayed on the wall. Instead of the expected wine rack, Smith created a 3-D display that functions as decor.
Statement Curtains
Another glamorous trend showcased at the townhouse: heavy curtains and drapery. Designer Phillip Thomas created an after-dinner salon full of references to his family and his Latin American heritage. The dark green curtain along the wall adds to the layered textures in the room, bringing warmth and richness to the space. In other rooms, designers Huma Sulaiman, Beth Diana Smith, and Jeremiah Brent also incorporated luxe drapery within their spaces.
Reimagined Closets
As huge fans of redesigning small or unusable spaces, we loved how Shawn Henderson mastered the idea of turning a closet into something more. The designer transformed this space into a daybed niche surrounded by a custom garnet-colored handmade wallcovering which makes the area feel even more intimate. Michelle Gerson’s innovative bar room is also an example of this trend, as she turned an entire unused butler’s pantry into a chic black and white watering hole.
Mural Ceilings
Ceilings get a lot of love in this year’s show house, and the idea to cover them with a gorgeous mural is sure to be a favorite. This unique look by Workshop/APD was created with an “expressive Fromental wallpaper in rich, earthy, feminine tones,” according to the room description. Designer Barbara Ostrom also used a mural on the ceiling of her game room, though she went in a brighter, more playful direction and had artist Andrew Tedesco paint flying cranes on that fifth wall.
