When you have a penthouse condo in Manhattan at a prestigious address, you want your visitors’ first impressions to be warm and gracious. The entry in this residence was blah, nothing to impress except perhaps the mirror which reflected to make the space feel larger.
Someone decided to make a more elegant and dramatic entry into this Brooklyn apartment building, and we were thrilled to be a part of it. The non-descript rectangle tile entry floor was replaced with a charming diamond pattern mosaic in black and white, which was a great first step – pun intended.
Historic architectural styles like Italianate, Greek Revival and Gothic Revival made an impact on Brooklyn’s 19th century home construction. Three to four-story style townhomes, often with a front stoop, bay windows and exterior ornamentation, exuded wealth and luxury of the time.
It’s possible that being less than a block from Central Park, with its blooming Annabelle hydrangeas, anise hyssop, Arkansas bluestar, clematis and other flowers, inspired this homeowner to have us wallpaper two powder rooms with floral patterns.
Midtown East is known for its lively streets, tall buildings, and busy professional scene. In the heart of this area, one commercial space shows how wallpaper can transform an ordinary wall into a striking backdrop. Each wallpaper has a subtle horizontal pattern, which brings depth and texture to the walls. This choice is more than just decoration; it helps set a modern, welcoming tone for anyone who steps inside.
Neutral is a delightful lukewarm word that stands in the middle of things without a commitment to anything. Neutral in the car transmission is neither forward nor reverse. In politics, it’s neither for nor against. In colors, it’s not black or white, not even light or dark. The advantages are abundant starting with that proverbial blank slate.
A homeowner in Battery Park City called us in to remove wallpaper in the bedroom. It’s a wonder he ever slept next to this bold green, cluttered, jungle-like pattern.
In Yorkville, Manhattan, wallpaper has quietly become one of the most creative ways to upgrade an apartment’s interior. It’s not about dated prints or difficult removal anymore—today’s wallpaper is all about style, texture, and personality.
From cheesy to chic, we were only too happy to help this homeowner change out the garish burnt orange wall and rectangular, utility room-style sink. The mirror looked like a cast-off of a full length mirror kind of awkwardly hung up high.
Red Hook might be called Brooklyn’s hidden gem from the land side. But, from the East River, it’s right out there, not at all hidden and serviced by the New York Waterway ferries and New York City Ferry Service.
