A modern apartment in New York with a neutral color palette.

Jessica Gersten Interiors has completed the design of a home in New York, that has a neutral color palette throughout.

The open living/dining space has views of the city, while the living room niche in parchment was inspired by the de Noailles residence in Paris designed by Jean-Michel Frank in 1925.

In the main bedroom, the headboard wall was another custom-designed element by the designer, which was produced using Toyine Sellers fabric and pale oak paneling. Art pieces on the opposite wall are by Estuko Ichikawa, curated with the help of Hourglass Advisory.
