The Chrysler Building is my favorite building in NYC. It's gorgeous, both inside and out. The architect, William Van Alen, used the style of art deco to create this glorious landmark. As soon as you enter this building, you see some of the most beautiful architecture ever created. The staircases, the elevators, the ceilings, etc. are works of art. It's breathtaking 😍 ✨️

Isn't it spectacular? I have loved this building since I first saw it as a child in the 60s. A building has got to be very, very impressive to make such an impact on a kid, dontcha think? I love the Chrysler Building!!💜💜💜 It makes the NYC skyline even more beautiful 😍 Thank you, Mr. Van Alen for such a stunning creation!! 😍

Timeless vs Trendy Balancing Tradition and Innovation in NYC Home Design

When I first moved to New York City, I was enchanted by its architectural patchwork. Walking down any street, you’re just as likely to pass a pre-war brownstone as a sleek, glass-walled high-rise. The city is a living museum, where tradition and innovation coexist, each telling its own story. As I began my journey into NYC home design, I quickly learned that creating a space here is about more than aesthetics — it’s about finding harmony between timeless elements and trendy touches.

There’s a certain allure to the classics. Exposed brick walls, herringbone wood floors, and crown molding whisper tales of the city’s rich history. These elements exude warmth and character, grounding a home in the charm of old New York. I once worked on a project in a Chelsea townhouse where the homeowner insisted on preserving the original fireplace mantle. At first, I saw it as a design constraint, but it became the heart of the room. Paired with modern furniture and bold artwork, it created a captivating juxtaposition.

Yet, the city thrives on reinvention, and its homes are no exception. The other side of NYC design is its willingness to embrace the new and the bold. Think modular furniture, smart home technology, and open-concept layouts. When I designed a loft in Williamsburg, I used a trendy color palette — muted terracottas and olive greens — with sleek, minimalist fixtures. The result was a space that felt fresh and vibrant, yet comfortably livable.

Striking a balance between timeless and trendy, I’ve discovered, is about respect. It’s about respecting the architecture, the neighborhood, and the personality of those who call the space home. In an Upper West Side apartment renovation, the challenge was blending a client’s love for mid-century modern design with the building’s early-1900s charm. We opted for vintage-inspired lighting and furniture with clean lines, while keeping the original wainscoting and ceiling medallions intact. The result felt as if the past and present were conversing with one another.

But I’d be lying if I said this balance is easy. Trends are fleeting, and it’s tempting to chase what’s popular now — marble waterfall countertops, matte black fixtures, or bold geometric tiles. However, I’ve learned that restraint is key. Trends should enhance, not overwhelm. A Tribeca penthouse I worked on is a perfect example. We added a trendy gallery wall of eclectic art pieces, but the foundation — timeless neutral walls and classic oak floors — ensured the space wouldn’t feel dated in five years.

Living and designing in NYC means honoring a city that never stops evolving. It’s a dance between holding onto the past and leaping toward the future. Each home becomes a microcosm of that larger dynamic. Whether it’s a Park Slope brownstone or a sleek Midtown apartment, the goal is always the same: to create a space that feels uniquely alive, yet grounded.

So, as I walk the streets of this endlessly inspiring city, I marvel at its enduring beauty. In every home I design, I strive to channel that magic — where timeless meets trendy, and tradition dances with innovation.
