Join Josh Greene for a look around his private residence: a refined and welcoming apartment located on the Upper East Side. See how this noted interior designer seamlessly blended different style eras in his furnishings to establish a sense of calm and balance that is as curated as it is arresting. From the formal entry with its deep beige color palette that is reminiscent of the “inside of a paper bag or jar peanut butter” (according to Greene) and combination of unexpected decor (e.g. hanging large scale art alongside a contemporary blue table and antique Louis the XV chair that’s upholstered with textiles from Japan) to the living room that is a continuation of the entry with its relaxed-yet-interesting aesthetic, limestone fireplace that he decorated with sconces from a Parisian flea market, and an octagonal mirror that he discovered in an antique shop in Connecticut) and collection of late 20th century pieces (including: new modern chairs with a 1970s Italian vibe to them, a confidential sofa from the 1960s, a 1980s Paul Evans cabinet, a snug Moroccan-esque Benny shag rug, and lamps by Michael Taylor from the 1980s), this home is a direct expression of Josh’s design sensibilities and creativity.
Additional points of interest include: a dining area complete with a sleek table paired with mid-century chairs that he updated so that their wood matched the table more; a kitchen with a breakfast nook sectioned off by a screen inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, cabinets with Louver doors that serve as a reference to 1980s Palm Springs, and unique geometric mosaic floor featuring four different types of stone whose colors can be found throughout the apartment; and a large tranquil bedroom featuring contributions by his many talented friends, including a tray ceiling covered in textured plaster, lamps by his friend Danny Kaplan, LF nightstands, window treatment fabric from Zak and Fox, and a plush king bed from his own collection that’s draped with custom fabric.
