How do you inject personality into a blank canvas apartment? Interior designer Courtney McLeod shows us how she creates subtle visual interest by using a muted palette mixed with versatile textures, as she walks viewers through a recently completed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo in NYC’s Financial District. See how she established a cohesive design identity in this Park Row home — that is equal parts urbane, sophisticated, and modern to reflect the sweeping views of old New York and 21st century New York right outside the windows — by incorporating her client’s favorite color in the foyer, installing a ceiling light fixture in the primary bedroom with an angular shape that is reminiscent of the decorative ones in the carpet and casts a soft romantic glow; and adorning the living and entertaining spaces with a curated collection of complementary curved pieces, including: a coffee table with a chagrin finish that also functions as art; a custom dining set that features brass details; and a sofa in the living room that’s upholstered with the same fabric as the area rug. Overall, as evident in the tumbling cube pattern feature wall in the bedroom, circular chagrin mirror in the foyer, and color-blocked rug in the living room, calm design does not mean boring!
