In a market that feels oversaturated with new developments, renovating an old school, pre-war apartment into one that sings a fresh, new design tune, is one to take note of. This is the story of a two-bedroom home located in Carnegie Hill, New York blessed with high ceilings, charming aboriginal crown moldings, a vintage fireplace, old world furniture and more. A full gut renovation of this once-glorious space was the need of the hour, and husband and wife duo Britt and Damian Zunino of Studio DB stepped up for the challenging, yet rewarding task.
The apartment formerly featuring outdated design trends was swapped with a mix of bright and neutral colors, airy spaces, and maximalist wallpapers. 'The clients, who work in finance and fashion, have two young kids and wanted a home that was ideal for modern living,' says Britt. 'Style-wise, our clients loved classic European apartments that celebrate traditional, historic details juxtaposed with contemporary furnishings and art. They wanted the home to feel elegant, but not fussy and formal.'
Warm shades, eye-catching wall coverings, metallic finishes, and contemporary lighting pieces create a feeling of coziness while giving a modern home vibe to this once-dated apartment.
