New York apartment style

New York apartment style is covetable in all of its various forms. However, stylish comfort, edgy art, and sophistication are common themes among these interiors. And this is exactly what one recent Decorilla client was in search of for her newly acquired city home. Read on to see how this tasteful transitional NYC apartment design came to life!

The Challenge: New York Apartment Style

Every space comes with its challenges to overcome and choosing the right NYC decorating style was the first task to tackle. The client loved a mix of modern and traditional – so transitional style fit best. They also needed help with choosing appropriate NYC apartment decor, specifically in the open concept living and dining space. The interior design help the client needed was: 

  • Infuse the space with a calming muted color palette
  • Choose design elements made with natural materials
  • Create a clearly zoned  yet comfortable furniture arrangement 
  • Add some well-curated decor and artwork to personalize the look

The Inspiration: NYC Apartment Decor

From the set of inspiration photos the client provided, it was clear that their style leaned toward classics, imbued with contemporary elements for added comfort. The overall color palette was neutral, with a nice pop of color here and there. Everything seemed like a perfect fit for a successful NYC apartment interior design: using transitional pieces from NYC furniture stores that could work in a small space but also be easily adapted as the needs or lifestyle change.

According to the client’s wishes, two Decorilla NYC interior designers composed unique concepts for the the New York apartment interior. Both proposals caught the clients attention, however it was the concept from Erin R. that hit all the marks most of all. Her presentation suggested a space that is both comfortable and stylish.

Since the floor plan of the apartment was an open concept, Erin proposed solutions for distinguishing zones for a living room, dining nook, and a small corner for reading or intimate conversation. While each area has a distinct feel, an overarching muted color palette, metallic accents, and stylish art gave the entire space a cohesive look.

Material diversity helped bring out the textures in the neutral colors and accentuated different vignettes around the room. Supported by modern artwork throughout, it made the space feel more dynamic. At the same time, a cozy soft grey sofa, cream rugs, and neutral walls kept the transitional NYC apartment living room from feeling too busy.

Placing a dining area into the nook helped this NYC apartment design convey an even stronger feeling of spaciousness. The set included a straight plush banquette at the back and a pair of elegant dusty rose chairs on the opposite side. In addition, an extendable oval dining table with a statement gold pedestal base, provided a flexible solution for hosting intimate dinners.

The dining nook was also flanked by the entryway. So the designer enhanced the space with a sleek bench, paired with an oversized abstract piece of artwork to pull everything together.

In the lounge area, Erin created a proper-sized conversational spot clearly defined by a rug. It included two relaxing armchairs and a small table to set drinks or snacks. From there, it was easy to reach a bar cabinet featured in the entryway. The accent piece incorporated the natural elements of teak doors and mango wood construction. 

Using a mix of light and dark colors created an inviting feel straight from the entry. Medium floors and wooden elements contrasted with the pastel upholstery, neutral walls, and rugs to convey dynamic vibes. Simultaneously, curated decor and strong accents used sparingly added visual interest and style
