More Modern Life Show House

May 22, 2011 by Jane F 3 Comments

Elle Decor Modern Life Concept Show House living room bu Carrier & Co. - AtticmagPart two of our Modern Life Concept house tour in a NYC condo continues.

Ten young “Designers to Watch,” have decorated rooms in Elle Decor magazine’s first Modern Life Concept House. Apartments are on the tenth floor of a new condominium in Manhattan’s trendy Chelsea neighborhood. The elegantly minimalistic flats have wide-plank floors, window walls, and economies of space that are well served by leading edge ideas. Up-and-coming designers have furnished their rooms with products from name-brand home design partners.

Begin the Modern Life Concept tour here, or take the first half of the tour in Apt. 10C – no matter. Both spaces have a similar modern sensibility focused around bold colors, dark rooms, natural woods, embellishment,  texture, and stylish accessories. Proceeds from the Modern Life show house benefit Housing Works, a charity that deals with homelessness and AIDS.

Living Room – Carrier & Company & Room & Board
The maxim that a color scheme should be pulled from the rug holds true for this bright and shiny living room based on Room & Board‘s striped wool Capri carpet. There are the requisite neutrals highlighted by citrus accents in the hand-knotted weave. Carrier & Company (husband-and-wife team Jesse Carrier and Mara Miller) used the rug as the bridge between two neutral upholstered sofas from the Hess collection — one with its back to the window [top] and another across the room on the entry wall. At the window, the daybed serves as banquette, setting up a secondary dining area around a black-marble Saarinen table and Eames molded-plastic chairs.

The mustard- leather chair with matching ottoman offers squishy seating and in back, there is a quartet of étagères as a backdrop for storage and display.

Katie Lydon propped a mirror behind the dual-fuel range to glitz up the somewhat somber kitchen with charcoal-gray counters and matching backsplash.

A palette ranging from milk to java makes for a lush master bedroom by Marie Turner, who partners with her sister and mother at melledesign.  The high window dictates the placement of the bed on the west wall.

Leather boxes function as drawers for the handsome Lema unit. Don’t you see boots going into that empty corner? I can.

Furth, using a usm table and shelving, becomes a  cocoon with almost anything one might need within reach. At night, when the color of the sky matches the walls of the room, light from glass-mobile chandelier keeps the apartment in sync with the universe.

    What a treat! I have already found a few ideas. Love the chair & ottoman in the first photo and also the stitching detail in the headboard and rug. Very nice!

    Hi Jane, I love the soft gray with that odd shade of green/gold. The green is actually the color of our living room and we have teamed it with black (leather sofa) and natural bamboo colors. I am liking the gray though and will consider that as a wall color as we are preparing to paint the room.

    I love that leather chair and matching ottoman, Jane! What a great piece {pieces} to bring in and that whole sitting area looks like a great spot to sit and visit over drinks and nibbles!
