Never one for a restrained palette, designer Nick Olsen<\/a> brings his unabashed love for color, pattern and all things grand to this family room in a Greek Revival townhouse in Brooklyn. Olsen worked with decorative artist Chris Pearson to develop the \u201cpeacock blue\u201d paint. \u201cIt\u2019s an interior room with no windows, so the glossy finish adds sparkle and helps unify the artwork and other assorted treasures,\u201d Olson says. Among those treasures are marbleized paper obelisks<\/a>, a Regency-style games table<\/a> and a 19th-century Italian mirror<\/a>, which hangs above a Dune sofa in windowpane plaid.

In the living room, a painting by Otto Zitko overlooks the seating area, which is furnished with sofas, side tables and a bench by Christian Liaigre<\/a>, and a custom rug designed by Aspe. Aldo Chaparro created the aluminum sculpture specifically for the home.

They immediately went for it,\u201d she says. To take it one step further, Aspe anchored the space with a multi-stripe rug by Missoni<\/a>, which is offset by a black leather chesterfield and a beige tufted ottoman.

In Nussbaumer\u2019s own Dallas home, the sunroom is outfitted with sofas in a leopard print that is repeated throughout the space, punctuated by pops of emerald green. On the coffee table is a display of her favorite well-traveled objects, including a 14th-century bronze arm from Thailand.

The muse for this space? A Contessa di Carrabba. \u201cI was inspired by her bedroom lined in silvered silk in the family’s 17th-century Roman palazzo,\u201d he says. In bringing his vision to life, he covered the walls in Schumacher<\/a> fabric that became the sumptuous backdrop for furnishings ranging from an 18th-century Tuscan cabinet to a 19th-century Indian rug from Mansour<\/a>. The ornate Lisbon bed<\/a> comes from Bullard\u2019s own line.

Bullard had the ceiling painted in the 16th-century Umbrian manner by students from the Uffizi Gallery. A 17th-century Tuscan fireplace, an early 18th-century Flemish tapestry and Louis XV<\/a> chairs covered in embroidered leather and antique tapestry fragments complete \u201cthe illusion of a generational family residence and inherited possessions,\u201d Bullard says.

The discovery of the late 19th-century German carousel zebra set the tone for the room. Heissmann grouped together a Tommi Parzinger<\/a> bed from Lobel Modern<\/a>, bedside tables by Jacques Jarrige<\/a>, Christopher Spitzmiller<\/a> lamps, and a Poul Kj\u00e6rholm<\/a> chair prototype. The plaster table was a gift to Heissmann from Albert Hadley<\/a>, and the black-and-white leopard carpet, wallcoverings and ceiling fabric are all by Stark.

The spaces brim with eccentric finds that encapsulate the vibrant personalities of the occupants. \u201cWhen you walk in the door and see the home, you should feel transported both physically and emotionally,\u201d she says. In the living room, an eye-catching mix of furnishings includes a fringed sofa in pink velvet, a Chinese Art Deco rug<\/a>, a 1920s Lucite<\/a> coffee table and a berg\u00e8re<\/a> upholstered in a cheetah print.

There\u2019s no shortage of custom statement pieces, from the fuchsia alligator-leather chairs by Wearstler<\/a> to the custom carpet by The Rug Company. \u201cThe rug has such a beautiful movement, and I wanted to create the same energy on the wall elevation,\u201d says Wearstler, pointing out the salon-style wall of black-and-white photos<\/a>. \u201cThis created the dimension and depth necessary for them to coexist with the striking floor.\u201d Photo by Grey Crawford<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\u201cI don\u2019t have a style. I have a way of being,\u201d Juan Pablo Molyneux<\/a> once declared to us. He is a master at elevating rooms to the extraordinary, often layering elaborate motifs, painted murals and impressive ensembles of antiques. In his own 12th-century ch\u00e2teau in Pouy-sur-Vannes, the library features original wood paneling and cordovan leather panels that set the stage for a room of treasures, which include Regency armchairs<\/a> and a 17th-century painting<\/a> from the Emilian School.

Anchored by an 18th-century painted and gilded headboard, the room recalls the boldly layered spaces of great 20th-century decorators. The bed wall features a collection of antique engravings of birds done with embroidery and appliqu\u00e9.

Meriguet, one of the workshops, also created the Louis XIV<\/a>-inspired ceiling, from which hangs an early 19th-century Viennese chandelier.

He lined the living and dining rooms in a flocked-velvet wallpaper in teal and painted the trim and crown molding to match.

The vivid palette also serves, says Georgis, \u201cas a smoldering and luminous background\u201d for the vintage Kim Moltzer<\/a> \u00e9tag\u00e8res, 19th-century plaster corpus and sofa and club chairs from Georgis\u2019s collection for Maison Gerard<\/a>.

In his own 12th-century ch\u00e2teau in Pouy-sur-Vannes, the library features original wood paneling and cordovan leather panels that set the stage for a room of treasures, which include Regency armchairs<\/a> and a 17th-century painting<\/a> from the Emilian School.\u00a0Photo by Xavier B\u00e9jot, courtesy of Assouline<\/p>\n","items":false},{"image":293103,"link":"","image_title":"","caption":"Brockschmidt & Coleman designed this classically elegant bedroom<\/a> for a well-heeled couple in New York. \u201cThe room is old-fashioned, with its antique furniture and printed cotton floral curtains and bedcovers, but it is not too sweet,\u201d says Courtney Coleman.

Outsize style meets outsize contemporary art in this Mexico City home<\/a>. \u201cArt is the gravitational center of this apartment,\u201d says designer Sof\u00eda Aspe. \u201cTo allow for the art to live in this space, we removed the lowered ceilings, played whimsically with the exposed beams and covered the walls with gray panels,\u201d she explains. In the living room, a painting by Otto Zitko overlooks the seating area, which is furnished with sofas, side tables and a bench by Christian Liaigre<\/a>, and a custom rug designed by Aspe. Aldo Chaparro created the aluminum sculpture specifically for the home. Photo by Alfonso de Bejar<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\u201cFor me, great design means color,\u201d says Aspe, who went full force while fashioning this library for a couple\u2019s home in Mexico City\u2019s Polanco neighborhood<\/a>. \u201cI saw a gorgeous purple door on a street in London and sent them a photo with the idea of painting all the bookcases in the color. They immediately went for it,\u201d she says. To take it one step further, Aspe anchored the space with a multi-stripe rug by Missoni<\/a>, which is offset by a black leather chesterfield and a beige tufted ottoman. Photo by Alfonso de Bejar<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tTexas designer Michelle Nussbaumer<\/a> does not believe in doing anything in a minimalist fashion. \u201cIf less is truly more, then go with more less,\u201d she once told us. In Nussbaumer\u2019s own Dallas home, the sunroom is outfitted with sofas in a leopard print that is repeated throughout the space, punctuated by pops of emerald green. On the coffee table is a display of her favorite well-traveled objects, including a 14th-century bronze arm from Thailand. Photo by Melanie Acevedo<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tGrandeur and opulence are part of Martyn Lawrence Bullard\u2019s design vernacular, and he overlooked no detail in the bedroom of a 12th-century castle in Umbria, Italy<\/a>. The muse for this space? A Contessa di Carrabba. \u201cI was inspired by her bedroom lined in silvered silk in the family’s 17th-century Roman palazzo,\u201d he says. In bringing his vision to life, he covered the walls in Schumacher<\/a> fabric that became the sumptuous backdrop for furnishings ranging from an 18th-century Tuscan cabinet to a 19th-century Indian rug from Mansour<\/a>. The ornate Lisbon bed<\/a> comes from Bullard\u2019s own line. Photo by Oberto Gigli and Deborah Anderson<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\u201cThe room was designed to become the central entertaining space for the castle and to appear like the original grand hall,\u201d Bullard says of the layered, limestone-paved great room<\/a> he recreated for the same Umbrian castle. Bullard had the ceiling painted in the 16th-century Umbrian manner by students from the Uffizi Gallery. A 17th-century Tuscan fireplace, an early 18th-century Flemish tapestry and Louis XV<\/a> chairs covered in embroidered leather and antique tapestry fragments complete \u201cthe illusion of a generational family residence and inherited possessions,\u201d Bullard says. Photo by Oberto Gigli and Deborah Anderson<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tFor the Holiday House in New York, Harry Heissman<\/a> took black-and-white elegance to a new level with this memorable bedroom design, which served as an homage to his late photographer friend Karin Kohlberg. \u201cI wanted to evoke the feeling of a child waking up on Christmas morning, all the excitement and wonder and magic,\u201d he says. The discovery of the late 19th-century German carousel zebra set the tone for the room. Heissmann grouped together a Tommi Parzinger<\/a> bed from Lobel Modern<\/a>, bedside tables by Jacques Jarrige<\/a>, Christopher Spitzmiller<\/a> lamps, and a Poul Kj\u00e6rholm<\/a> chair prototype. The plaster table was a gift to Heissmann from Albert Hadley<\/a>, and the black-and-white leopard carpet, wallcoverings and ceiling fabric are all by Stark.

Yet his mix-and-match interiors have a way of being both. This blend is best showcased in his own Antwerp home, which he keeps ever-evolving and \u201copen to the unusual,\u201d as he once told us. In his library, which is constantly changing save for the antique tapestry, eclectic busts<\/a> and objets<\/em> and well-worn furnishings pack the space with style and soul. Photo by Tim Van de Velde, courtesy of Lannoo<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tSummer Thornton blends comfort with drama in this Chicago home<\/a>, created for a comedienne and her family.

\u201cFor me, great design means color,\u201d says Aspe, who went full force while fashioning this library for a couple\u2019s home in Mexico City\u2019s Polanco neighborhood<\/a>. \u201cI saw a gorgeous purple door on a street in London and sent them a photo with the idea of painting all the bookcases in the color. They immediately went for it,\u201d she says. To take it one step further, Aspe anchored the space with a multi-stripe rug by Missoni<\/a>, which is offset by a black leather chesterfield and a beige tufted ottoman. Photo by Alfonso de Bejar<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tTexas designer Michelle Nussbaumer<\/a> does not believe in doing anything in a minimalist fashion. \u201cIf less is truly more, then go with more less,\u201d she once told us. In Nussbaumer\u2019s own Dallas home, the sunroom is outfitted with sofas in a leopard print that is repeated throughout the space, punctuated by pops of emerald green. On the coffee table is a display of her favorite well-traveled objects, including a 14th-century bronze arm from Thailand. Photo by Melanie Acevedo<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tGrandeur and opulence are part of Martyn Lawrence Bullard\u2019s design vernacular, and he overlooked no detail in the bedroom of a 12th-century castle in Umbria, Italy<\/a>. The muse for this space? A Contessa di Carrabba. \u201cI was inspired by her bedroom lined in silvered silk in the family’s 17th-century Roman palazzo,\u201d he says. In bringing his vision to life, he covered the walls in Schumacher<\/a> fabric that became the sumptuous backdrop for furnishings ranging from an 18th-century Tuscan cabinet to a 19th-century Indian rug from Mansour<\/a>. The ornate Lisbon bed<\/a> comes from Bullard\u2019s own line. Photo by Oberto Gigli and Deborah Anderson<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\u201cThe room was designed to become the central entertaining space for the castle and to appear like the original grand hall,\u201d Bullard says of the layered, limestone-paved great room<\/a> he recreated for the same Umbrian castle. Bullard had the ceiling painted in the 16th-century Umbrian manner by students from the Uffizi Gallery. A 17th-century Tuscan fireplace, an early 18th-century Flemish tapestry and Louis XV<\/a> chairs covered in embroidered leather and antique tapestry fragments complete \u201cthe illusion of a generational family residence and inherited possessions,\u201d Bullard says. Photo by Oberto Gigli and Deborah Anderson<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tFor the Holiday House in New York, Harry Heissman<\/a> took black-and-white elegance to a new level with this memorable bedroom design, which served as an homage to his late photographer friend Karin Kohlberg. \u201cI wanted to evoke the feeling of a child waking up on Christmas morning, all the excitement and wonder and magic,\u201d he says. The discovery of the late 19th-century German carousel zebra set the tone for the room. Heissmann grouped together a Tommi Parzinger<\/a> bed from Lobel Modern<\/a>, bedside tables by Jacques Jarrige<\/a>, Christopher Spitzmiller<\/a> lamps, and a Poul Kj\u00e6rholm<\/a> chair prototype. The plaster table was a gift to Heissmann from Albert Hadley<\/a>, and the black-and-white leopard carpet, wallcoverings and ceiling fabric are all by Stark. Photo by Peter Rymwid<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tBelgian designer Gert Voorjans<\/a> follows the philosophy that rooms should be lived-in rather than lavish. Yet his mix-and-match interiors have a way of being both. This blend is best showcased in his own Antwerp home, which he keeps ever-evolving and \u201copen to the unusual,\u201d as he once told us. In his library, which is constantly changing save for the antique tapestry, eclectic busts<\/a> and objets<\/em> and well-worn furnishings pack the space with style and soul. Photo by Tim Van de Velde, courtesy of Lannoo<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tSummer Thornton blends comfort with drama in this Chicago home<\/a>, created for a comedienne and her family. The spaces brim with eccentric finds that encapsulate the vibrant personalities of the occupants. \u201cWhen you walk in the door and see the home, you should feel transported both physically and emotionally,\u201d she says. In the living room, an eye-catching mix of furnishings includes a fringed sofa in pink velvet, a Chinese Art Deco rug<\/a>, a 1920s Lucite<\/a> coffee table and a berg\u00e8re<\/a> upholstered in a cheetah print. Photo by N. Johnson, B. Ambridge, J. Thornton<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tThornton carries her bold color palette into the dining room<\/a>, which also functions as a library and office. \u201cOur goal was to create something moody and dramatic for evening entertaining but that could double as a space for reading and paying bills when guests weren’t at the home,\u201d she says. A purple Murano chandelier<\/a> is surrounded by similarly hued sconce shades, and the chairs are intentionally mismatched for \u201can irreverent twist,\u201d Thornton says. Photo by N. Johnson, B. Ambridge, J. Thornton<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tWith its unexpected hues, polished mix of lacquer<\/a> and Lucite, and fierce contrasts, this Bel Air office<\/a> underscores Kelly Wearstler’s unmistakable Hollywood glam style. There\u2019s no shortage of custom statement pieces, from the fuchsia alligator-leather chairs by Wearstler<\/a> to the custom carpet by The Rug Company. \u201cThe rug has such a beautiful movement, and I wanted to create the same energy on the wall elevation,\u201d says Wearstler, pointing out the salon-style wall of black-and-white photos<\/a>. \u201cThis created the dimension and depth necessary for them to coexist with the striking floor.\u201d Photo by Grey Crawford<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\u201cI don\u2019t have a style. I have a way of being,\u201d Juan Pablo Molyneux<\/a> once declared to us. He is a master at elevating rooms to the extraordinary, often layering elaborate motifs, painted murals and impressive ensembles of antiques. In his own 12th-century ch\u00e2teau in Pouy-sur-Vannes, the library features original wood paneling and cordovan leather panels that set the stage for a room of treasures, which include Regency armchairs<\/a> and a 17th-century painting<\/a> from the Emilian School.

Anchored by an 18th-century painted and gilded headboard, the room recalls the boldly layered spaces of great 20th-century decorators. The bed wall features a collection of antique engravings of birds done with embroidery and appliqu\u00e9.

McCarthy<\/a> happily obliged when his client requested that their Long Island home needed to entirely reference the 18th century. \u201cHence, the Louis XVI<\/a>\u2013style ch\u00e2teau influence,\u201d says McCarthy. \u201cTwo of the world\u2019s greatest workshops collaborated to produce this magnificent example of the Empire style<\/a> at its most pure,\u201d McCarthy says of this library\u2019s 18th-century-style wood paneling and gilded details. Meriguet, one of the workshops, also created the Louis XIV<\/a>-inspired ceiling, from which hangs an early 19th-century Viennese chandelier.

He lined the living and dining rooms in a flocked-velvet wallpaper in teal and painted the trim and crown molding to match. The coffee table is from Rose Tarlow<\/a> Melrose House, and the jewel-toned rugs are custom.

He brought his imaginative palette to this Palm Spring oasis, where he covered custom sectional sofas in a vibrant patchwork of Missoni<\/a> prints that reiterate the sunny hues of the home\u2019s surroundings. His clients, a roster that spans software billionaires, socialites, and artists alike, fully subscribe to his ideas of modern living mingled with grandeur. \u201cWe try to make every moment in our clients\u2019 lives matter,\u201d Fulk has told us.

Texas designer Michelle Nussbaumer<\/a> does not believe in doing anything in a minimalist fashion. \u201cIf less is truly more, then go with more less,\u201d she once told us. In Nussbaumer\u2019s own Dallas home, the sunroom is outfitted with sofas in a leopard print that is repeated throughout the space, punctuated by pops of emerald green. On the coffee table is a display of her favorite well-traveled objects, including a 14th-century bronze arm from Thailand. Photo by Melanie Acevedo<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tGrandeur and opulence are part of Martyn Lawrence Bullard\u2019s design vernacular, and he overlooked no detail in the bedroom of a 12th-century castle in Umbria, Italy<\/a>. The muse for this space? A Contessa di Carrabba. \u201cI was inspired by her bedroom lined in silvered silk in the family’s 17th-century Roman palazzo,\u201d he says. In bringing his vision to life, he covered the walls in Schumacher<\/a> fabric that became the sumptuous backdrop for furnishings ranging from an 18th-century Tuscan cabinet to a 19th-century Indian rug from Mansour<\/a>. The ornate Lisbon bed<\/a> comes from Bullard\u2019s own line. Photo by Oberto Gigli and Deborah Anderson<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\u201cThe room was designed to become the central entertaining space for the castle and to appear like the original grand hall,\u201d Bullard says of the layered, limestone-paved great room<\/a> he recreated for the same Umbrian castle. Bullard had the ceiling painted in the 16th-century Umbrian manner by students from the Uffizi Gallery. A 17th-century Tuscan fireplace, an early 18th-century Flemish tapestry and Louis XV<\/a> chairs covered in embroidered leather and antique tapestry fragments complete \u201cthe illusion of a generational family residence and inherited possessions,\u201d Bullard says. Photo by Oberto Gigli and Deborah Anderson<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tFor the Holiday House in New York, Harry Heissman<\/a> took black-and-white elegance to a new level with this memorable bedroom design, which served as an homage to his late photographer friend Karin Kohlberg. \u201cI wanted to evoke the feeling of a child waking up on Christmas morning, all the excitement and wonder and magic,\u201d he says. The discovery of the late 19th-century German carousel zebra set the tone for the room. Heissmann grouped together a Tommi Parzinger<\/a> bed from Lobel Modern<\/a>, bedside tables by Jacques Jarrige<\/a>, Christopher Spitzmiller<\/a> lamps, and a Poul Kj\u00e6rholm<\/a> chair prototype. The plaster table was a gift to Heissmann from Albert Hadley<\/a>, and the black-and-white leopard carpet, wallcoverings and ceiling fabric are all by Stark. Photo by Peter Rymwid<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tBelgian designer Gert Voorjans<\/a> follows the philosophy that rooms should be lived-in rather than lavish. Yet his mix-and-match interiors have a way of being both. This blend is best showcased in his own Antwerp home, which he keeps ever-evolving and \u201copen to the unusual,\u201d as he once told us. In his library, which is constantly changing save for the antique tapestry, eclectic busts<\/a> and objets<\/em> and well-worn furnishings pack the space with style and soul. Photo by Tim Van de Velde, courtesy of Lannoo<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tSummer Thornton blends comfort with drama in this Chicago home<\/a>, created for a comedienne and her family. The spaces brim with eccentric finds that encapsulate the vibrant personalities of the occupants. \u201cWhen you walk in the door and see the home, you should feel transported both physically and emotionally,\u201d she says. In the living room, an eye-catching mix of furnishings includes a fringed sofa in pink velvet, a Chinese Art Deco rug<\/a>, a 1920s Lucite<\/a> coffee table and a berg\u00e8re<\/a> upholstered in a cheetah print. Photo by N. Johnson, B. Ambridge, J. Thornton<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tThornton carries her bold color palette into the dining room<\/a>, which also functions as a library and office. \u201cOur goal was to create something moody and dramatic for evening entertaining but that could double as a space for reading and paying bills when guests weren’t at the home,\u201d she says. A purple Murano chandelier<\/a> is surrounded by similarly hued sconce shades, and the chairs are intentionally mismatched for \u201can irreverent twist,\u201d Thornton says. Photo by N. Johnson, B. Ambridge, J. Thornton<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tWith its unexpected hues, polished mix of lacquer<\/a> and Lucite, and fierce contrasts, this Bel Air office<\/a> underscores Kelly Wearstler’s unmistakable Hollywood glam style. There\u2019s no shortage of custom statement pieces, from the fuchsia alligator-leather chairs by Wearstler<\/a> to the custom carpet by The Rug Company. \u201cThe rug has such a beautiful movement, and I wanted to create the same energy on the wall elevation,\u201d says Wearstler, pointing out the salon-style wall of black-and-white photos<\/a>. \u201cThis created the dimension and depth necessary for them to coexist with the striking floor.\u201d Photo by Grey Crawford<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\u201cI don\u2019t have a style. I have a way of being,\u201d Juan Pablo Molyneux<\/a> once declared to us. He is a master at elevating rooms to the extraordinary, often layering elaborate motifs, painted murals and impressive ensembles of antiques. In his own 12th-century ch\u00e2teau in Pouy-sur-Vannes, the library features original wood paneling and cordovan leather panels that set the stage for a room of treasures, which include Regency armchairs<\/a> and a 17th-century painting<\/a> from the Emilian School. Photo by Xavier B\u00e9jot, courtesy of Assouline<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tBrockschmidt & Coleman designed this classically elegant bedroom<\/a> for a well-heeled couple in New York. \u201cThe room is old-fashioned, with its antique furniture and printed cotton floral curtains and bedcovers, but it is not too sweet,\u201d says Courtney Coleman. Anchored by an 18th-century painted and gilded headboard, the room recalls the boldly layered spaces of great 20th-century decorators. The bed wall features a collection of antique engravings of birds done with embroidery and appliqu\u00e9.

McCarthy<\/a> happily obliged when his client requested that their Long Island home needed to entirely reference the 18th century. \u201cHence, the Louis XVI<\/a>\u2013style ch\u00e2teau influence,\u201d says McCarthy. \u201cTwo of the world\u2019s greatest workshops collaborated to produce this magnificent example of the Empire style<\/a> at its most pure,\u201d McCarthy says of this library\u2019s 18th-century-style wood paneling and gilded details. Meriguet, one of the workshops, also created the Louis XIV<\/a>-inspired ceiling, from which hangs an early 19th-century Viennese chandelier. Photo by Fritz von der Schulenberg<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tIn a New York City penthouse<\/a> designed for an art-collecting philanthropist, John Barman didn\u2019t spare a single wall from paint or pattern. \u201cThe overall mood we wanted to create was an apartment that was elegant but fun with an updated traditional mood,\u201d says Barman. He lined the living and dining rooms in a flocked-velvet wallpaper in teal and painted the trim and crown molding to match. The coffee table is from Rose Tarlow<\/a> Melrose House, and the jewel-toned rugs are custom.

He brought his imaginative palette to this Palm Spring oasis, where he covered custom sectional sofas in a vibrant patchwork of Missoni<\/a> prints that reiterate the sunny hues of the home\u2019s surroundings. His clients, a roster that spans software billionaires, socialites, and artists alike, fully subscribe to his ideas of modern living mingled with grandeur. \u201cWe try to make every moment in our clients\u2019 lives matter,\u201d Fulk has told us. Photo by Douglas Friedman, courtesy of Abrams<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\u201cStudy in red is just that,\u201d architect William T.

Grandeur and opulence are part of Martyn Lawrence Bullard\u2019s design vernacular, and he overlooked no detail in the bedroom of a 12th-century castle in Umbria, Italy<\/a>. The muse for this space? A Contessa di Carrabba. \u201cI was inspired by her bedroom lined in silvered silk in the family’s 17th-century Roman palazzo,\u201d he says. In bringing his vision to life, he covered the walls in Schumacher<\/a> fabric that became the sumptuous backdrop for furnishings ranging from an 18th-century Tuscan cabinet to a 19th-century Indian rug from Mansour<\/a>. The ornate Lisbon bed<\/a> comes from Bullard\u2019s own line. Photo by Oberto Gigli and Deborah Anderson<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\u201cThe room was designed to become the central entertaining space for the castle and to appear like the original grand hall,\u201d Bullard says of the layered, limestone-paved great room<\/a> he recreated for the same Umbrian castle. Bullard had the ceiling painted in the 16th-century Umbrian manner by students from the Uffizi Gallery. A 17th-century Tuscan fireplace, an early 18th-century Flemish tapestry and Louis XV<\/a> chairs covered in embroidered leather and antique tapestry fragments complete \u201cthe illusion of a generational family residence and inherited possessions,\u201d Bullard says. Photo by Oberto Gigli and Deborah Anderson<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tFor the Holiday House in New York, Harry Heissman<\/a> took black-and-white elegance to a new level with this memorable bedroom design, which served as an homage to his late photographer friend Karin Kohlberg. \u201cI wanted to evoke the feeling of a child waking up on Christmas morning, all the excitement and wonder and magic,\u201d he says. The discovery of the late 19th-century German carousel zebra set the tone for the room. Heissmann grouped together a Tommi Parzinger<\/a> bed from Lobel Modern<\/a>, bedside tables by Jacques Jarrige<\/a>, Christopher Spitzmiller<\/a> lamps, and a Poul Kj\u00e6rholm<\/a> chair prototype. The plaster table was a gift to Heissmann from Albert Hadley<\/a>, and the black-and-white leopard carpet, wallcoverings and ceiling fabric are all by Stark. Photo by Peter Rymwid<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tBelgian designer Gert Voorjans<\/a> follows the philosophy that rooms should be lived-in rather than lavish. Yet his mix-and-match interiors have a way of being both. This blend is best showcased in his own Antwerp home, which he keeps ever-evolving and \u201copen to the unusual,\u201d as he once told us. In his library, which is constantly changing save for the antique tapestry, eclectic busts<\/a> and objets<\/em> and well-worn furnishings pack the space with style and soul. Photo by Tim Van de Velde, courtesy of Lannoo<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tSummer Thornton blends comfort with drama in this Chicago home<\/a>, created for a comedienne and her family. The spaces brim with eccentric finds that encapsulate the vibrant personalities of the occupants. \u201cWhen you walk in the door and see the home, you should feel transported both physically and emotionally,\u201d she says. In the living room, an eye-catching mix of furnishings includes a fringed sofa in pink velvet, a Chinese Art Deco rug<\/a>, a 1920s Lucite<\/a> coffee table and a berg\u00e8re<\/a> upholstered in a cheetah print. Photo by N. Johnson, B. Ambridge, J. Thornton<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tThornton carries her bold color palette into the dining room<\/a>, which also functions as a library and office. \u201cOur goal was to create something moody and dramatic for evening entertaining but that could double as a space for reading and paying bills when guests weren’t at the home,\u201d she says. A purple Murano chandelier<\/a> is surrounded by similarly hued sconce shades, and the chairs are intentionally mismatched for \u201can irreverent twist,\u201d Thornton says. Photo by N. Johnson, B. Ambridge, J. Thornton<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tWith its unexpected hues, polished mix of lacquer<\/a> and Lucite, and fierce contrasts, this Bel Air office<\/a> underscores Kelly Wearstler’s unmistakable Hollywood glam style. There\u2019s no shortage of custom statement pieces, from the fuchsia alligator-leather chairs by Wearstler<\/a> to the custom carpet by The Rug Company. \u201cThe rug has such a beautiful movement, and I wanted to create the same energy on the wall elevation,\u201d says Wearstler, pointing out the salon-style wall of black-and-white photos<\/a>. \u201cThis created the dimension and depth necessary for them to coexist with the striking floor.\u201d Photo by Grey Crawford<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\u201cI don\u2019t have a style. I have a way of being,\u201d Juan Pablo Molyneux<\/a> once declared to us. He is a master at elevating rooms to the extraordinary, often layering elaborate motifs, painted murals and impressive ensembles of antiques. In his own 12th-century ch\u00e2teau in Pouy-sur-Vannes, the library features original wood paneling and cordovan leather panels that set the stage for a room of treasures, which include Regency armchairs<\/a> and a 17th-century painting<\/a> from the Emilian School.

Anchored by an 18th-century painted and gilded headboard, the room recalls the boldly layered spaces of great 20th-century decorators. The bed wall features a collection of antique engravings of birds done with embroidery and appliqu\u00e9.

McCarthy<\/a> happily obliged when his client requested that their Long Island home needed to entirely reference the 18th century. \u201cHence, the Louis XVI<\/a>\u2013style ch\u00e2teau influence,\u201d says McCarthy. \u201cTwo of the world\u2019s greatest workshops collaborated to produce this magnificent example of the Empire style<\/a> at its most pure,\u201d McCarthy says of this library\u2019s 18th-century-style wood paneling and gilded details. Meriguet, one of the workshops, also created the Louis XIV<\/a>-inspired ceiling, from which hangs an early 19th-century Viennese chandelier.

He lined the living and dining rooms in a flocked-velvet wallpaper in teal and painted the trim and crown molding to match. The coffee table is from Rose Tarlow<\/a> Melrose House, and the jewel-toned rugs are custom.

He brought his imaginative palette to this Palm Spring oasis, where he covered custom sectional sofas in a vibrant patchwork of Missoni<\/a> prints that reiterate the sunny hues of the home\u2019s surroundings. His clients, a roster that spans software billionaires, socialites, and artists alike, fully subscribe to his ideas of modern living mingled with grandeur. \u201cWe try to make every moment in our clients\u2019 lives matter,\u201d Fulk has told us.

Georgis says of his fiery living room for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House<\/a> in New York. \u201cIt\u2019s a place for study and contemplation rendered in claret, burgundy, cerise and Chinese and blood reds.\u201d The crimson theme is grounded in the 19th-century Agra rug and trickles over to Piotr Uklanski’s resin drip painting, Untitled (First Stroke)<\/em>. The vivid palette also serves, says Georgis, \u201cas a smoldering and luminous background\u201d for the vintage Kim Moltzer<\/a> \u00e9tag\u00e8res, 19th-century plaster corpus and sofa and club chairs from Georgis\u2019s collection for Maison Gerard<\/a>.

\u201cThe room was designed to become the central entertaining space for the castle and to appear like the original grand hall,\u201d Bullard says of the layered, limestone-paved great room<\/a> he recreated for the same Umbrian castle. Bullard had the ceiling painted in the 16th-century Umbrian manner by students from the Uffizi Gallery. A 17th-century Tuscan fireplace, an early 18th-century Flemish tapestry and Louis XV<\/a> chairs covered in embroidered leather and antique tapestry fragments complete \u201cthe illusion of a generational family residence and inherited possessions,\u201d Bullard says.

The discovery of the late 19th-century German carousel zebra set the tone for the room. Heissmann grouped together a Tommi Parzinger<\/a> bed from Lobel Modern<\/a>, bedside tables by Jacques Jarrige<\/a>, Christopher Spitzmiller<\/a> lamps, and a Poul Kj\u00e6rholm<\/a> chair prototype. The plaster table was a gift to Heissmann from Albert Hadley<\/a>, and the black-and-white leopard carpet, wallcoverings and ceiling fabric are all by Stark.

The spaces brim with eccentric finds that encapsulate the vibrant personalities of the occupants. \u201cWhen you walk in the door and see the home, you should feel transported both physically and emotionally,\u201d she says.

There\u2019s no shortage of custom statement pieces, from the fuchsia alligator-leather chairs by Wearstler<\/a> to the custom carpet by The Rug Company. \u201cThe rug has such a beautiful movement, and I wanted to create the same energy on the wall elevation,\u201d says Wearstler, pointing out the salon-style wall of black-and-white photos<\/a>. \u201cThis created the dimension and depth necessary for them to coexist with the striking floor.\u201d Photo by Grey Crawford<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\u201cI don\u2019t have a style. I have a way of being,\u201d Juan Pablo Molyneux<\/a> once declared to us. He is a master at elevating rooms to the extraordinary, often layering elaborate motifs, painted murals and impressive ensembles of antiques. In his own 12th-century ch\u00e2teau in Pouy-sur-Vannes, the library features original wood paneling and cordovan leather panels that set the stage for a room of treasures, which include Regency armchairs<\/a> and a 17th-century painting<\/a> from the Emilian School.

Anchored by an 18th-century painted and gilded headboard, the room recalls the boldly layered spaces of great 20th-century decorators. The bed wall features a collection of antique engravings of birds done with embroidery and appliqu\u00e9.

Meriguet, one of the workshops, also created the Louis XIV<\/a>-inspired ceiling, from which hangs an early 19th-century Viennese chandelier.

He lined the living and dining rooms in a flocked-velvet wallpaper in teal and painted the trim and crown molding to match. The coffee table is from Rose Tarlow<\/a> Melrose House, and the jewel-toned rugs are custom.

His clients, a roster that spans software billionaires, socialites, and artists alike, fully subscribe to his ideas of modern living mingled with grandeur. \u201cWe try to make every moment in our clients\u2019 lives matter,\u201d Fulk has told us.

Georgis says of his fiery living room for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House<\/a> in New York. \u201cIt\u2019s a place for study and contemplation rendered in claret, burgundy, cerise and Chinese and blood reds.\u201d The crimson theme is grounded in the 19th-century Agra rug and trickles over to Piotr Uklanski’s resin drip painting, Untitled (First Stroke)<\/em>. The vivid palette also serves, says Georgis, \u201cas a smoldering and luminous background\u201d for the vintage Kim Moltzer<\/a> \u00e9tag\u00e8res, 19th-century plaster corpus and sofa and club chairs from Georgis\u2019s collection for Maison Gerard<\/a>.

For the Holiday House in New York, Harry Heissman<\/a> took black-and-white elegance to a new level with this memorable bedroom design, which served as an homage to his late photographer friend Karin Kohlberg. \u201cI wanted to evoke the feeling of a child waking up on Christmas morning, all the excitement and wonder and magic,\u201d he says. The discovery of the late 19th-century German carousel zebra set the tone for the room. Heissmann grouped together a Tommi Parzinger<\/a> bed from Lobel Modern<\/a>, bedside tables by Jacques Jarrige<\/a>, Christopher Spitzmiller<\/a> lamps, and a Poul Kj\u00e6rholm<\/a> chair prototype. The plaster table was a gift to Heissmann from Albert Hadley<\/a>, and the black-and-white leopard carpet, wallcoverings and ceiling fabric are all by Stark. Photo by Peter Rymwid<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tBelgian designer Gert Voorjans<\/a> follows the philosophy that rooms should be lived-in rather than lavish. Yet his mix-and-match interiors have a way of being both. This blend is best showcased in his own Antwerp home, which he keeps ever-evolving and \u201copen to the unusual,\u201d as he once told us. In his library, which is constantly changing save for the antique tapestry, eclectic busts<\/a> and objets<\/em> and well-worn furnishings pack the space with style and soul.

The spaces brim with eccentric finds that encapsulate the vibrant personalities of the occupants. \u201cWhen you walk in the door and see the home, you should feel transported both physically and emotionally,\u201d she says. In the living room, an eye-catching mix of furnishings includes a fringed sofa in pink velvet, a Chinese Art Deco rug<\/a>, a 1920s Lucite<\/a> coffee table and a berg\u00e8re<\/a> upholstered in a cheetah print.

A purple Murano chandelier<\/a> is surrounded by similarly hued sconce shades, and the chairs are intentionally mismatched for \u201can irreverent twist,\u201d Thornton says. Photo by N. Johnson, B.

Belgian designer Gert Voorjans<\/a> follows the philosophy that rooms should be lived-in rather than lavish. Yet his mix-and-match interiors have a way of being both. This blend is best showcased in his own Antwerp home, which he keeps ever-evolving and \u201copen to the unusual,\u201d as he once told us. In his library, which is constantly changing save for the antique tapestry, eclectic busts<\/a> and objets<\/em> and well-worn furnishings pack the space with style and soul. Photo by Tim Van de Velde, courtesy of Lannoo<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tSummer Thornton blends comfort with drama in this Chicago home<\/a>, created for a comedienne and her family. The spaces brim with eccentric finds that encapsulate the vibrant personalities of the occupants. \u201cWhen you walk in the door and see the home, you should feel transported both physically and emotionally,\u201d she says. In the living room, an eye-catching mix of furnishings includes a fringed sofa in pink velvet, a Chinese Art Deco rug<\/a>, a 1920s Lucite<\/a> coffee table and a berg\u00e8re<\/a> upholstered in a cheetah print. Photo by N. Johnson, B. Ambridge, J. Thornton<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tThornton carries her bold color palette into the dining room<\/a>, which also functions as a library and office. \u201cOur goal was to create something moody and dramatic for evening entertaining but that could double as a space for reading and paying bills when guests weren’t at the home,\u201d she says. A purple Murano chandelier<\/a> is surrounded by similarly hued sconce shades, and the chairs are intentionally mismatched for \u201can irreverent twist,\u201d Thornton says. Photo by N. Johnson, B. Ambridge, J. Thornton<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tWith its unexpected hues, polished mix of lacquer<\/a> and Lucite, and fierce contrasts, this Bel Air office<\/a> underscores Kelly Wearstler’s unmistakable Hollywood glam style. There\u2019s no shortage of custom statement pieces, from the fuchsia alligator-leather chairs by Wearstler<\/a> to the custom carpet by The Rug Company. \u201cThe rug has such a beautiful movement, and I wanted to create the same energy on the wall elevation,\u201d says Wearstler, pointing out the salon-style wall of black-and-white photos<\/a>. \u201cThis created the dimension and depth necessary for them to coexist with the striking floor.\u201d Photo by Grey Crawford<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\u201cI don\u2019t have a style. I have a way of being,\u201d Juan Pablo Molyneux<\/a> once declared to us. He is a master at elevating rooms to the extraordinary, often layering elaborate motifs, painted murals and impressive ensembles of antiques. In his own 12th-century ch\u00e2teau in Pouy-sur-Vannes, the library features original wood paneling and cordovan leather panels that set the stage for a room of treasures, which include Regency armchairs<\/a> and a 17th-century painting<\/a> from the Emilian School.

Anchored by an 18th-century painted and gilded headboard, the room recalls the boldly layered spaces of great 20th-century decorators. The bed wall features a collection of antique engravings of birds done with embroidery and appliqu\u00e9.

McCarthy<\/a> happily obliged when his client requested that their Long Island home needed to entirely reference the 18th century. \u201cHence, the Louis XVI<\/a>\u2013style ch\u00e2teau influence,\u201d says McCarthy. \u201cTwo of the world\u2019s greatest workshops collaborated to produce this magnificent example of the Empire style<\/a> at its most pure,\u201d McCarthy says of this library\u2019s 18th-century-style wood paneling and gilded details. Meriguet, one of the workshops, also created the Louis XIV<\/a>-inspired ceiling, from which hangs an early 19th-century Viennese chandelier.

He lined the living and dining rooms in a flocked-velvet wallpaper in teal and painted the trim and crown molding to match. The coffee table is from Rose Tarlow<\/a> Melrose House, and the jewel-toned rugs are custom.

He brought his imaginative palette to this Palm Spring oasis, where he covered custom sectional sofas in a vibrant patchwork of Missoni<\/a> prints that reiterate the sunny hues of the home\u2019s surroundings. His clients, a roster that spans software billionaires, socialites, and artists alike, fully subscribe to his ideas of modern living mingled with grandeur. \u201cWe try to make every moment in our clients\u2019 lives matter,\u201d Fulk has told us.

Summer Thornton blends comfort with drama in this Chicago home<\/a>, created for a comedienne and her family. The spaces brim with eccentric finds that encapsulate the vibrant personalities of the occupants. \u201cWhen you walk in the door and see the home, you should feel transported both physically and emotionally,\u201d she says. In the living room, an eye-catching mix of furnishings includes a fringed sofa in pink velvet, a Chinese Art Deco rug<\/a>, a 1920s Lucite<\/a> coffee table and a berg\u00e8re<\/a> upholstered in a cheetah print.

Thornton<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tThornton carries her bold color palette into the dining room<\/a>, which also functions as a library and office. \u201cOur goal was to create something moody and dramatic for evening entertaining but that could double as a space for reading and paying bills when guests weren’t at the home,\u201d she says. A purple Murano chandelier<\/a> is surrounded by similarly hued sconce shades, and the chairs are intentionally mismatched for \u201can irreverent twist,\u201d Thornton says. Photo by N. Johnson, B. Ambridge, J. Thornton<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\tWith its unexpected hues, polished mix of lacquer<\/a> and Lucite, and fierce contrasts, this Bel Air office<\/a> underscores Kelly Wearstler’s unmistakable Hollywood glam style. There\u2019s no shortage of custom statement pieces, from the fuchsia alligator-leather chairs by Wearstler<\/a> to the custom carpet by The Rug Company. \u201cThe rug has such a beautiful movement, and I wanted to create the same energy on the wall elevation,\u201d says Wearstler, pointing out the salon-style wall of black-and-white photos<\/a>. \u201cThis created the dimension and depth necessary for them to coexist with the striking floor.\u201d Photo by Grey Crawford<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\u201cI don\u2019t have a style. I have a way of being,\u201d Juan Pablo Molyneux<\/a> once declared to us. He is a master at elevating rooms to the extraordinary, often layering elaborate motifs, painted murals and impressive ensembles of antiques. In his own 12th-century ch\u00e2teau in Pouy-sur-Vannes, the library features original wood paneling and cordovan leather panels that set the stage for a room of treasures, which include Regency armchairs<\/a> and a 17th-century painting<\/a> from the Emilian School.

Anchored by an 18th-century painted and gilded headboard, the room recalls the boldly layered spaces of great 20th-century decorators. The bed wall features a collection of antique engravings of birds done with embroidery and appliqu\u00e9.

McCarthy<\/a> happily obliged when his client requested that their Long Island home needed to entirely reference the 18th century. \u201cHence, the Louis XVI<\/a>\u2013style ch\u00e2teau influence,\u201d says McCarthy. \u201cTwo of the world\u2019s greatest workshops collaborated to produce this magnificent example of the Empire style<\/a> at its most pure,\u201d McCarthy says of this library\u2019s 18th-century-style wood paneling and gilded details. Meriguet, one of the workshops, also created the Louis XIV<\/a>-inspired ceiling, from which hangs an early 19th-century Viennese chandelier.

He lined the living and dining rooms in a flocked-velvet wallpaper in teal and painted the trim and crown molding to match. The coffee table is from Rose Tarlow<\/a> Melrose House, and the jewel-toned rugs are custom.

He brought his imaginative palette to this Palm Spring oasis, where he covered custom sectional sofas in a vibrant patchwork of Missoni<\/a> prints that reiterate the sunny hues of the home\u2019s surroundings. His clients, a roster that spans software billionaires, socialites, and artists alike, fully subscribe to his ideas of modern living mingled with grandeur. \u201cWe try to make every moment in our clients\u2019 lives matter,\u201d Fulk has told us.

Georgis says of his fiery living room for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House<\/a> in New York. \u201cIt\u2019s a place for study and contemplation rendered in claret, burgundy, cerise and Chinese and blood reds.\u201d The crimson theme is grounded in the 19th-century Agra rug and trickles over to Piotr Uklanski’s resin drip painting, Untitled (First Stroke)<\/em>. The vivid palette also serves, says Georgis, \u201cas a smoldering and luminous background\u201d for the vintage Kim Moltzer<\/a> \u00e9tag\u00e8res, 19th-century plaster corpus and sofa and club chairs from Georgis\u2019s collection for Maison Gerard<\/a>.

With its unexpected hues, polished mix of lacquer<\/a> and Lucite, and fierce contrasts, this Bel Air office<\/a> underscores Kelly Wearstler’s unmistakable Hollywood glam style. There\u2019s no shortage of custom statement pieces, from the fuchsia alligator-leather chairs by Wearstler<\/a> to the custom carpet by The Rug Company. \u201cThe rug has such a beautiful movement, and I wanted to create the same energy on the wall elevation,\u201d says Wearstler, pointing out the salon-style wall of black-and-white photos<\/a>. \u201cThis created the dimension and depth necessary for them to coexist with the striking floor.\u201d Photo by Grey Crawford<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\u201cI don\u2019t have a style. I have a way of being,\u201d Juan Pablo Molyneux<\/a> once declared to us. He is a master at elevating rooms to the extraordinary, often layering elaborate motifs, painted murals and impressive ensembles of antiques. In his own 12th-century ch\u00e2teau in Pouy-sur-Vannes, the library features original wood paneling and cordovan leather panels that set the stage for a room of treasures, which include Regency armchairs<\/a> and a 17th-century painting<\/a> from the Emilian School.

Anchored by an 18th-century painted and gilded headboard, the room recalls the boldly layered spaces of great 20th-century decorators. The bed wall features a collection of antique engravings of birds done with embroidery and appliqu\u00e9.

McCarthy<\/a> happily obliged when his client requested that their Long Island home needed to entirely reference the 18th century. \u201cHence, the Louis XVI<\/a>\u2013style ch\u00e2teau influence,\u201d says McCarthy. \u201cTwo of the world\u2019s greatest workshops collaborated to produce this magnificent example of the Empire style<\/a> at its most pure,\u201d McCarthy says of this library\u2019s 18th-century-style wood paneling and gilded details. Meriguet, one of the workshops, also created the Louis XIV<\/a>-inspired ceiling, from which hangs an early 19th-century Viennese chandelier.

He lined the living and dining rooms in a flocked-velvet wallpaper in teal and painted the trim and crown molding to match. The coffee table is from Rose Tarlow<\/a> Melrose House, and the jewel-toned rugs are custom.

He brought his imaginative palette to this Palm Spring oasis, where he covered custom sectional sofas in a vibrant patchwork of Missoni<\/a> prints that reiterate the sunny hues of the home\u2019s surroundings. His clients, a roster that spans software billionaires, socialites, and artists alike, fully subscribe to his ideas of modern living mingled with grandeur. \u201cWe try to make every moment in our clients\u2019 lives matter,\u201d Fulk has told us.

Georgis says of his fiery living room for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House<\/a> in New York. \u201cIt\u2019s a place for study and contemplation rendered in claret, burgundy, cerise and Chinese and blood reds.\u201d The crimson theme is grounded in the 19th-century Agra rug and trickles over to Piotr Uklanski’s resin drip painting, Untitled (First Stroke)<\/em>. The vivid palette also serves, says Georgis, \u201cas a smoldering and luminous background\u201d for the vintage Kim Moltzer<\/a> \u00e9tag\u00e8res, 19th-century plaster corpus and sofa and club chairs from Georgis\u2019s collection for Maison Gerard<\/a>.

Brockschmidt & Coleman designed this classically elegant bedroom<\/a> for a well-heeled couple in New York. \u201cThe room is old-fashioned, with its antique furniture and printed cotton floral curtains and bedcovers, but it is not too sweet,\u201d says Courtney Coleman. Anchored by an 18th-century painted and gilded headboard, the room recalls the boldly layered spaces of great 20th-century decorators. The bed wall features a collection of antique engravings of birds done with embroidery and appliqu\u00e9.

McCarthy<\/a> happily obliged when his client requested that their Long Island home needed to entirely reference the 18th century. \u201cHence, the Louis XVI<\/a>\u2013style ch\u00e2teau influence,\u201d says McCarthy. \u201cTwo of the world\u2019s greatest workshops collaborated to produce this magnificent example of the Empire style<\/a> at its most pure,\u201d McCarthy says of this library\u2019s 18th-century-style wood paneling and gilded details. Meriguet, one of the workshops, also created the Louis XIV<\/a>-inspired ceiling, from which hangs an early 19th-century Viennese chandelier.

He lined the living and dining rooms in a flocked-velvet wallpaper in teal and painted the trim and crown molding to match. The coffee table is from Rose Tarlow<\/a> Melrose House, and the jewel-toned rugs are custom.

He brought his imaginative palette to this Palm Spring oasis, where he covered custom sectional sofas in a vibrant patchwork of Missoni<\/a> prints that reiterate the sunny hues of the home\u2019s surroundings. His clients, a roster that spans software billionaires, socialites, and artists alike, fully subscribe to his ideas of modern living mingled with grandeur. \u201cWe try to make every moment in our clients\u2019 lives matter,\u201d Fulk has told us.

Brian J.

Meriguet, one of the workshops, also created the Louis XIV<\/a>-inspired ceiling, from which hangs an early 19th-century Viennese chandelier.

San Francisco designer Ken Fulk<\/a> has a magical way of infusing the fantastical into the most modernist interiors. He brought his imaginative palette to this Palm Spring oasis, where he covered custom sectional sofas in a vibrant patchwork of Missoni<\/a> prints that reiterate the sunny hues of the home\u2019s surroundings. His clients, a roster that spans software billionaires, socialites, and artists alike, fully subscribe to his ideas of modern living mingled with grandeur. \u201cWe try to make every moment in our clients\u2019 lives matter,\u201d Fulk has told us.

The vivid palette also serves, says Georgis, \u201cas a smoldering and luminous background\u201d for the vintage Kim Moltzer<\/a> \u00e9tag\u00e8res, 19th-century plaster corpus and sofa and club chairs from Georgis\u2019s collection for Maison Gerard<\/a>.

Never one for a restrained palette, designer Nick Olsen<\/a> brings his unabashed love for color, pattern and all things grand to this family room in a Greek Revival townhouse in Brooklyn. Olsen worked with decorative artist Chris Pearson to develop the\u00a0\u201cpeacock blue\u201d paint. \u201cIt\u2019s an interior room with no windows, so the glossy finish adds sparkle and helps unify the artwork and other assorted treasures,\u201d Olson says. Among those treasures are marbleized paper obelisks<\/a>, a Regency-style games table<\/a> and a 19th-century Italian mirror<\/a>, which hangs above a Dune sofa in windowpane plaid.

In the living room, a painting by Otto Zitko overlooks the seating area, which is furnished with sofas, side tables and a bench by Christian Liaigre<\/a>, and a custom rug designed by Aspe.

Outsize style meets outsize contemporary art in this Mexico City home<\/a>. \u201cArt is the gravitational center of this apartment,\u201d says designer Sof\u00eda Aspe. \u201cTo allow for the art to live in this space, we removed the lowered ceilings, played whimsically with the exposed beams and covered the walls with gray panels,\u201d she explains. In the living room, a painting by Otto Zitko overlooks the seating area, which is furnished with sofas, side tables and a bench by Christian Liaigre<\/a>, and a custom rug designed by Aspe. Aldo Chaparro created the aluminum sculpture specifically for the home.

In Nussbaumer\u2019s own Dallas home, the sunroom is outfitted with sofas in a leopard print that is repeated throughout the space, punctuated by pops of emerald green.

Grandeur and opulence are part of Martyn Lawrence Bullard\u2019s design vernacular, and he overlooked no detail in the bedroom of a 12th-century castle in Umbria, Italy<\/a>. The muse for this space? A Contessa di Carrabba. \u201cI was inspired by her bedroom lined in silvered silk in the family’s 17th-century Roman palazzo,\u201d he says. In bringing his vision to life, he covered the walls in\u00a0Schumacher<\/a> fabric that became the sumptuous backdrop for furnishings ranging from an 18th-century Tuscan cabinet to a 19th-century Indian rug from Mansour<\/a>. The ornate Lisbon bed<\/a>\u00a0comes from Bullard\u2019s own line.

For the Holiday House in New York, Harry Heissman<\/a> took black-and-white elegance to a new level with this memorable bedroom design, which served as an homage to his late photographer friend Karin Kohlberg. \u201cI wanted to evoke the feeling of a child waking up on Christmas morning, all the excitement and wonder and magic,\u201d he says. The discovery of the late 19th-century German carousel zebra set the tone for the room. Heissmann grouped together a Tommi Parzinger<\/a> bed from Lobel Modern<\/a>, bedside tables by Jacques Jarrige<\/a>, Christopher Spitzmiller<\/a> lamps, and a Poul Kj\u00e6rholm<\/a> chair prototype. The plaster table was a gift to Heissmann from Albert Hadley<\/a>, and the black-and-white leopard carpet, wallcoverings and ceiling fabric are all by Stark.

Belgian designer Gert Voorjans<\/a>\u00a0follows the philosophy that rooms should be lived-in rather than lavish. Yet his mix-and-match interiors have a way of being both. This blend is best showcased in his own\u00a0Antwerp home, which he keeps ever-evolving and \u201copen to the unusual,\u201d as he once told us. In his library, which is constantly changing save for the antique tapestry, eclectic busts<\/a> and objets<\/em> and well-worn furnishings pack the space with style and soul.
