West Village Eclectic

A primary home, the house reflects a family’s evolution with decades’ worth of treasures from trips abroad, projects from their kids’ childhoods, sentimental mementos. Pieces of shared experiences inform and reveal who these owners are, in every room. Individually, all the pieces seem random and disparate, but together, they reveal a full life. We wanted to evoke that same eclecticism through the pattern-play of fabrics, the mix of textures and weaves, and the selection of colors. These elements are beautiful on their own, but together spark a connecting current that is even better when juxtaposed with all else. Favorite moments include the dashed rug pattern in the family room echoing some of the glittering light in the street scene from the painting above. The LR coffee tables and chandelier- which both blur the line between art and furnishings- were selected to hold their own in a room with dominant paintings and sculpture that use direct, angular lines against the softer curves of the 120-year old architecture.
