This bright and airy Upper East Side townhouse marries youthful exuberance with old-school refinement. The elegant home gets an energizing boost from punchy colors, luxe finishes and whimsical decor. Oozing with personality, the abode is a study in balance—bold pinks are reigned in by silvers, grays and whites, and unexpected elements, like taxidermy pieces, are complemented by the inhabitants’ extensive photography collection. The result is a sophisticated and livable home that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Click here to view the full project.

Designer Suzanne Kasler asserts that “a room should be collected, not decorated” and this stunning residence is a testament to that belief. The home’s high ceilings, large windows and beautifully crafted moldings serve as the ideal backdrop for an eclectic assortment of art, furniture and decor. Furnishings range from the opulent (think Georgian, Regency and Hollywood Regency furniture) to more minimalist forms, including sleek Federal and Art Deco furniture. The home’s art collection is equally as varied, spanning from bold abstract works to classical portraits. Click here to view the full project.
