Intro
This Clinton Hill brownstone in Brooklyn, New York was redesigned as part of a full-service residential interior design project to create a refined yet highly functional living environment for a growing family. The project focused on reimagining the living room and playroom to balance historic character with modern comfort and everyday usability.
The Project
Located in the heart of Clinton Hill, this classic Brooklyn brownstone features original architectural details including moldings, fireplaces, and generous ceiling heights. The goal was to preserve these elements while introducing a more cohesive and livable design tailored to the client’s lifestyle.
The living room was designed as a sophisticated yet inviting space for both entertaining and daily use, while the playroom was carefully integrated to feel connected yet distinct—allowing for flexibility without compromising the overall aesthetic of the home.
Design Approach
The design approach focused on layering materials, textures, and tones to create depth while maintaining a sense of calm and cohesion throughout both spaces.
In the living room, furnishings were selected to complement the scale of the architecture while softening the space with warm textures and subtle contrast. In the playroom, custom storage solutions were incorporated to maintain organization while allowing the space to evolve over time.
The result is a home that feels both elevated and approachable—where design and function coexist seamlessly.
