“The design for the foyer began with the round table,” says interior designer Taylor Zack. “The client was actually unaware that she could, in fact, use a round table in such a structured and rectangular room, but when we assured her that not only was it possible, it would be a beautiful feature to soften all of the angular aspects of the room, she was delighted.”

“We wanted this foyer to set the tone for the design of the rest of the house, which meant ensuring that there was ample color, brought in via the vintage Turkish kilim rug and the blush marble table base. There are also interesting shapes, like the custom scallop entry bench. We also introduced the clients as a family, and their culture through the beautiful hand carved vintage Indian mirror.”

“This room had to be the standout,” Taylor says. “It had to be somewhere all of their friends could gather and really represented who these clients were and what they loved, which is spending time with the people in their lives. This meant ample seating, and different types of it for long evenings sharing stories, having drinks, and making memories. The colors are inviting, warm, and there is no lack of personality or conversation starters.”

“The curved sofa and the Dedar Tiger Mountain ottomans are custom made.”

“The oversized blue artwork also tells a story, as that photo is one the client took when they lived in New York, where they met, that we were able to edit to be this outstanding visual piece,” Taylor shares.

“The dining room also needed to be somewhere that could host many people,” the designer explains. “So we custom designed a 10-foot farm-style table, flew in the Razor Blade chairs from Denmark, and we actually used a Ruggable rug to ensure it was extra-family friendly and the client could easily wash it!”

“The showstopper in this room though is really the Melt Mirror that we are completely obsessed with,” Taylor explains. “We knew the fireplace needed something, but all the art we tried was falling flat and not really complimenting the room in its entirety. So the contemporary form of this piece in contrast with some of the more warm elements, and the reflection that it brought in was just perfect.”

“The family room had to be designed as a space where this family could really kick their feet up, watch the game, lounge together on movie nights, play games, do puzzles, and play chess,” Taylor says. “We custom designed the oversized sectional to be extra-deep for lounging. It is clad with a performance fabric, so no need to worry about wine spills and buttery popcorn fingers, but we made it a little more fun and interesting on the backside because it was so visible from the kitchen. We added three tiers of fringe matching the green fabric. Business in the front, party in the back!”
