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.

What better way to embrace indoor/outdoor living than placing real full-grown tall trees in the entryway? That’s just one of the many delightful highlights from interior designer’s Tobe Morrow’s ‘Open House’ tour on NBC. Tobe’s approach to filling this Brentwood home with warmth and sophistication, while simultaneously brightening it, was to mix luxury with comfort and layer materials and textures throughout the space. (For example: wooden furniture, travertine on tabletops, leather trays, and a beautiful bookcase with unlacquered brass vintage poles that will patina over the years and ultimately add more character).

And from the kitchen with its TWO marble islands, white oak cabinetry, and classic black-and-white breakfast nook with its very own swing to a moody parlor that teems with drama and old Hollywood glamour via walnut shelving, well-lit mercury glass mirror, and bar fashioned out of marble and coved wood to the most inviting primary suite withs its soft color palette, velvet fabrics, double layered mantle over the fireplace, and an ensuite bathroom featuring a limestone floor, shower walls comprised of Taj Mahal slabs, and a gorgeous Japanese soaking tub made from oak, this residence captures an elevated California lifestyle to a t.

SoHo glamour meets Hollywood allure in this Open House home tour. Featured in the hit film ‘The Devil Wears Prada,’ this beautifully renovated loft — with its decadent windows, 16-foot ceilings, and grand entry hallway accentuated with exposed brick, dramatic archways, and Corinthian columns — would definitely get Miranda Priestly’s oh-so rare nod of approval.

Located at 56 Crosby St., this 2-bedroom apartment is located in a landmark pre-war building that was built in 1882 and features chic touches, curated art, and contemporary upgrades across its 4,400 square feet of luxurious space. From the sophisticated Great Room (with its oversized gas-burning fireplace, wall of custom-built cherry wood cabinetry, open-floor kitchen, layers of light tonal whites and creams in soft tactile fabrics to brighten things up, Noguchi-inspired statement chandelier, and curved furniture that complements the angular nature of the space) to a mezzanine level that feels like an exclusive VIP lounge with a gaming section, wine cellar, gym, and seating area perfect for relaxing — to the intimate primary bedroom with sumptuous bedding in neutral tones, a giant walk-in closet, and an ensuite bathroom that’s reminiscent of a spa with its heated floors, deep waterfall-edge soaking tub, and marble countertops, this condo provides a cinematic take on downtown NYC living.

Join stager and interior designer Cheryl Eisen for a look around this spectacular property, which is currently listed for $8,995,000.

In this edition of NBC’s Open House, our illustrious host Sara Gore leads us through an array of gorgeous homes on both the East and West coasts.

First stop on the tour: the chic Park Avenue home of ‘Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard’ star & NYC-based DJ Jordan Emanuel. Much like its glamorous owner, this 1-bedroom Murray Hill abode radiates with warmth and style. From the inviting living room with its comfortable sofa and geometrical rug that complements the (faux) cow-print one in the dining room to the modern bar fixture with its colorful glassware, Golden Girls-themed shot glasses, and orange ottoman lounge chairs that pack a bold statement — and from her tranquil bedroom with its oversized headboards, lamps, and night stand (and cozy corner featuring some seriously ‘Winnie-the-Pooh’ cuteness to the rooftop terrace that offers the ideal venue for hosting get-togethers — this is Jordan’s first self-proclaimed “big girl apartment” and provides a relaxing space to retreat to after a busy day of filming and entertaining.

We then drop by 56 Crosby St. to join stager and interior designer Cheryl Eisen for a look around a spectacular property, which is currently listed for $8,995,000 and fuses SoHo glamour with Hollywood allure.

That’s just one of the many delightful highlights from interior designer’s Tobe Morrow’s latest project. Her approach to filling this breathtaking Brentwood home with warmth, sophistication and depth — all while simultaneously brightening it — was to layer materials and textures throughout the space.

Tune in for a look around this residence to see how Tobe effortlessly mixed luxurious elements with modern comforts to create an elevated California aesthetic.

As for the last stop in this episode? A major dose of innovation and awe, courtesy of architectural designer Robert Garneau. Take a look his award-winning “Pivot: project — a renovated 400 square foot pre-war apartment, which was inspired by a Swiss Army Knife — to witness multifunctional furniture in action that unfolds as you need it (which includes the table changing height, the table extension flaps deploying, as well as a hidden office revealing itself). See how Robert used limitations of the space to create an entertainer’s dream home that’s also flexible, sustainable, and functional.

In this segment of NBC’s Open House, explore the lovely live-work home of interior designer Kristina Phillips. Located in Ridgewood, NJ and built in the early 1900s, this Craftsman Bungalow-style abode teems with saturated colors, striking patterns, and beloved family heirlooms — all while capturing Phillips’ design sensibilities and love of travel and collecting memorable pieces from around the world. From the swoon-worthy wraparound lemonade porch with a relaxed seating area perfect for enjoying warm evenings with company to the warm & inviting living room with its slightly shimmery Phillip Jeffries grass cloth wallpaper, floral drapery by Josef Frank, blue-and-white Buffalo check sofa (a classic Swedish motif), Saarinen table, custom rug from India, and antiques inherited from her Swedish grandparents (including a wooden console and elegant grandfather clock), this residence strikes a fine balance between preserving original details while incorporating touches of mid-century modernism.

Other moments of interests: a cubby storage area upon entering the home that’s adorned with an artichoke chandelier; a collection of traditional wooden horses from Sweden known as Dala Hess; a more formal area that features swivel chairs done in a fret pattern with an orange detail welt, a large sofa upholstered in a ecat fabric, and two hand-painted murals that she uncovered in the back of a dusty antique shop; a kitchen with a big, center island comprised of quartzite, quintessential white cabinetry, and stunning views of the garden right outside; and an office with a kitchenette that was a complete gut renovation and embraces natural light through deft use of skylights, French doors, and floor-to-ceiling windows.
