Michael Haverland’s East Hampton study is a simple-yet-elegant glass box that the architect designed to showcase pieces from his blue-chip furniture collection, including a 1953 Jean Prouv\u00e9<\/a> Compass desk and Standard chair; a 1946 Eero Saarinen<\/a> for Knoll Womb chair; and a 1950s Jacques Adnet<\/a> leather desk.<\/p>\n Stephen Shadley<\/a> cites his client Diane Keaton as one of his inspirations behind the decor of his upstate New York retreat. “She has an eye for antiques, and taught that you really need to make a statement with your collection by having a large amount of pieces. I became an avid collector and have never stopped.” The Windsor chairs are by Heywood-Wakefield<\/a>, and the table linens and china are by Russell Wright<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n Each of the 14 bedrooms in Timothy Corrigan’s<\/a> 18th-century Loire Valley estate Ch\u00e2teau du Grand-Luc\u00e9<\/a> reflects a distinct design sensibility. This blue-gray guest room includes an antique Portuguese rug, an 18th-century Swedish chandelier<\/a>, a pair of 19th-century British side tables<\/a> and a Louis XVI<\/a> chair. <\/span><\/p>\n Jamie Drake \u2014 one of the two principals of DRAKE\/ANDERSON<\/a> \u2014 designed his colorful West Chelsea loft with a focus on entertaining. The 1960s Hand chair is by Pedro Friedeberg<\/a> and the resin-cast floor lamp is by Alpha Workshops<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n Ben Pentreath<\/a>, who says that he “always takes inspiration from the past,” oufitted his Dorset, England country home with a yellow sofa by Max Rollitt and several pieces of his own design, including the marble-patterned lampshade, the Imari<\/a> vase lamp and the patterned textiles. <\/span><\/p>\n Suzanne Kasler’s<\/a> dazzling Atlanta dining room is clad in floral De Gournay wallpaper and ringed with antique mirror at the cornice line. Of the dining table and chairs, Kasler says that she does not “have any qualms about mixing dark wood with light wood \u2014 oftentimes it is far more interesting than having a matched set.<\/p>\n “I absolutely love the color blue and decided to use this shade in my own home, because I find it to be very soothing,” says Sheila Bridges<\/a> of her 1901 Harlem brownstone. Bridges also notes that she “did not do a one-stop-shop to furnish my home, but instead acquired interesting and eclectic pieces over time.” These include a small marquetry table<\/a>, an alabaster Swedish chandelier and an antique French convex mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n Kelly Behun<\/a>‘s beachside Long Island, New York home is furnished with organic textures \u2014 woven textiles, hand-made ceramics and potted trees \u2014 that contrast with the residence’s clean-lined contemporary architecture. The antique Samarkand rug is from Doris Leslie Blau<\/a>, the Boa sofa is by the Campana Brothers<\/a> and Behun designed the macrame plant holders.<\/p>\n In Robert Couturier’s<\/a> New York apartment, a photograph by Ron Agam hangs above a sofa \u2014 at right \u2014 that Couturier designed himself. The oak and porcelain table, at left, is by Jacques Adnet and Maurice Savin, and the low 1930s cocktail table is by Frances Elkins<\/a>. “I can try things in this space because I don’t live here permanently. “An apartment is a little bit like a suit,” says Couturier. “When you’re tired of it, you can easily change it to reflect your current taste.”<\/p>\n Shawn Henderson’s<\/a> upstate New York Colonial retreat was inspired by the look of Scandinavian summer homes. Fittingly, the designer used a pair of Papa Bear chairs<\/a> and a floor lamp by Danish creator Hans Wegner<\/a>.<\/p>\n Peter Mikic<\/a> describes the vibe of his London home as \u201cClaridge\u2019s meets 1950s Milan.\u201d The drawing room features a scene-stealing blue velvet sofa of Mikic\u2019s own design.<\/p>\n “We subtracted all the color so you would notice the fantastic textures,” says Nate Berkus<\/a> about his Fifth Avenue Manhattan penthouse. The home is a showcase for Berkus’s and his partner Jeremiah Brent’s incredible collection of vintage furnishings. These include the pictured 1970s Maison Jansen<\/a> brass and smoked glass coffee table, a George Pelletier<\/a> ceramic pendant light, a 1970s chrome Soriana sofa by Tobia and Afra Scarpa<\/a>, a circa 1950 Jacques Adnet leather vide-poche and a 19th-century French gilt mirror<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n Pierre Yovanovitch’s<\/a> Paris apartment is reflective of the designer’s signature “warm minimalist” style. The high-ceilinged space features armchairs and sofas of Yovanovitch’s own design, plus artworks by Alex Katz<\/a> and Georg Baselitz<\/a>. “Art is very important to me: it gives life to an interior. Artworks dialogue with both architecture and interior design,” he says. <\/span><\/p>\n Matthew Patrick Smyth<\/a> says that he sought to respect the 18th-century architecture of his Litchfield County, Connecticut Colonial weekend house. Accordingly, the living room includes a Schumacher<\/a>-upholstered 19th-century camel back settee and a pair of late-19th-century iron urns. The carpet is by Patterson, Flynn and Martin.<\/p>\n Vance Burke’s<\/a> Palm Springs home is a paean to mid-century style \u2014 but with a modern twist. In the living room, brightly colored upholstery and bold shapes emphasis the scale of the home and complement the desert landscape, as seen through the large panes of glass.<\/p>\n “When you have light-filled rooms, subtle textures and color shifts are illuminated. The walls and moldings, as well as the larger pieces, are all painted a matte, soft pale grey to act as a neutral backdrop for the pops of color that come from smaller gestures like the blue lining of the draperies, the accessories […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":73813,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15522073],"tags":[4545813,4549233,110,1343563,3963543,562,274,15527063,2157143,3126673,4547473,1343553,2157153],"dibs-categories":[],"dibs-designs":[],"dibs-styles":[],"dibs-creators":[],"dibs-sellers":[],"class_list":["post-73763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interiors","tag-barbara-barry","tag-designers-at-home","tag-interior-design","tag-kelly-behun","tag-michael-haverland","tag-nate-berkus","tag-robert-couturier","tag-schumacher","tag-shawn-henderson","tag-sheila-bridges","tag-stephen-shadley","tag-suzanne-kasler","tag-timothy-corrigan"],"acf":{"subtitle":"What better place to seek style inspiration than in the homes of the pros?
