New York Interiors. Bold, Elegant, Refined

From midtown Manhattan to the Hudson Valley, discover the most unique interiors that the Big Apple and its environs have to offer.

    A favorite haunt of designers, artists, artisans, decorators, and architects from around the globe — as well as all those who delight in creatively embellishing their home — New York never ceases to enchant us with its wealth of exceptional interior spaces. The harmonious coexistence of traditional and avant-garde, chic and bohemian, imposing and intimate — both in and out of doors — defines the city’s unique style. A luxury apartment with magnificent paneling hung with old master paintings; a glassed-in eagles’ nest perched atop an art deco skyscraper; or a delightful brownstone with a private garden worthy of a picturesque country village — this multifarious city captivates and seduces its visitors.
   Offering exclusive access into seventeen homes of prominent New Yorkers, this book showcases the often colorful and audacious, but always fashionable and sophisticated interiors of New York’s best style-setters.
   Barbara and René Stoeltie take readers on a personalized journey through New York, from antiques expert Louis Bofferding’s elegant Manhattan apartment, to architect James Joseph and composer Scott Frankel’s meticulously restored bucolic haven on the outskirts of the city, via the dizzying heights of decorator John Saladino’s exquisite apartment in the Olympic Tower, a Fifth Avenue skyscraper.
   Lavishly illustrated, this volume presents an array of New York residences that perfectly reflect the diversity and eclecticism of  the city’s inhabitants and provide endless inspiration for contemporary interiors.
