The Newlyweds Apartment
Summary
For this newlywed couple, we transformed a contemporary space into a warm and inviting home, without breaking the bank!
By incorporating vintage, antique, and consignment shop treasures, we created a unique blend of modern elegance and timeless charm.
Design highlights we love:
Maximizing the View – Floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the stunning East River make the space feel larger and more open.
Embracing Statement Pieces – A stunning, oversized vintage mirror creates the illusion of double the space AND the double the views — highlighting the reflection of the Manhattan skyline.
Balanced Contrast – Neutral tones paired with black-and-white accents keep the design crisp, while pops of bright blue add a playful, refreshing touch.
Warm Metallics – Gold and brass finishes on the artwork frames, lighting fixtures, and an antique-style mirror soften the contemporary edge and bring warmth to the room.
Curated Character – Each piece, from the vintage-inspired armchair to the mid-century credenza, was carefully sourced to balance style and affordability.
PRO TIP: Mixing vintage finds with modern pieces adds personality while staying on budget—don’t be afraid to explore consignment shops and antique markets for those one-of-a-kind treasures!
