Duplex

Apartment by Doug Meyer Studio in New York, NY

Meyer chose the largely red, white, and blue scheme to complement the owner’s art collection, which includes works by Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe, Diane Arbus, and Mitch Epstein. Each art-filled room in the apartment has a dominant hue. The master bedroom, which houses Katy Grannan’s Untitled, is a sea of blue. The living room is a white-walled space with an island of red furnishings at its center; Epstein’s Flag 2000 and two Warhol Polaroids, of the American flag created out of beans, are among the pieces hanging on the walls. The dining room is a subtler pink space with amethyst accents that features only black-and-white photographs, including two major works by Mapplethorpe and Lisa Lyon. The guest bedroom is an emerald jewel box that showcases five silhouette portraits by photographer Katherine Wolkoff. The furnishings are a mix of old and new and custom and found pieces. The final design shows off the art without overpowering it.
