Fashion designers and stylists are known for their keen eye for style, so it’s never a surprise when their homes are as chic as their wardrobes. Nina Garcia, fashion journalist and judge on Project Runway, definitely stays true that. Her Manhattan apartment is every bit as elegant as her fashion sense. The palette is soft and neutral with controlled accents of color. Contemporary and traditional sensibilities blend together seamlessly with a nice variety of pattern and texture to create a lovely sense of home.
Take a look at this beautiful home tour fitting of a style expert…
A pale blue on the walls creates an elegant, relaxing atmosphere in the living area. Everything is subdued to keep the serene vibe.
Multiple conversation areas in the large living space are great for entertaining. Two are divided by a neutral chaise.
The dining room incorporates some shades of red while still keeping with the muted tones of the apartment.
The kitchen is a minimalist’s dream. A stainless steel backsplash adds a nice sheen to bring some interest to the space, especially when contrasted against the wood floors.
The red from the dining room is carried through to another sitting area, where the color is balanced well with the neutrals.
For a relaxing master bedroom retreat, incorporating blue-gray into the palette is a smart way to go, especially if you want it to also be gender neutral.
A large mirror behind the desk reflects light to make the space feel larger and more open.
Her closet is certainly one of dreams, including a chaise for putting on shoes and accessories comfortably.
The bathroom continues the streamlined theme throughout the home with an all-white palette. Only a few fresh flowers bring a dose of color into the space.
Another bedroom features incredible windows that are the focal point of the space. Warm brown tones make the space feel cozy and sophisticated.
I love the easy elegance of this home and how full of character it still manages to be.
Warm regards,
Megan
