Forest Hills, NY Home Design
This Forest Hills residence proves that a home can feel bold, expressive, and full of personality while remaining calm, welcoming, and effortlessly refined. Designed for clients ready to transform an unfamiliar house into a meaningful sanctuary, every space was shaped around their lifestyle, passions, and vision for everyday living. The result is a home that feels deeply personal while balancing creativity with enduring sophistication.
Beginning with a clean foundation, we preserved the home's original architectural character while introducing thoughtful updates that maximized both beauty and value. Entering the home, guests are welcomed into a living room that embraces simplicity without sacrificing warmth. Rich textures, carefully selected furnishings, and vibrant artwork inspired a palette of greens, blues, and warm terracotta tones that continue throughout the residence.
The original archway connecting the living and dining rooms became the defining design element, echoed through the fireplace tile and patterned area rugs. In the dining room, custom built in cabinetry provides abundant storage while incorporating integrated seating framed by nature inspired wall covering. Moving into the kitchen, a second arched opening finished in blue green complements the vertically stacked terracotta backsplash, while neutral cabinetry allows the materials and warm metallic accents to command attention. A wood coffee bar and a serene main bathroom featuring wood accents, arch inspired wall covering, and a fresh interpretation of classic subway tile complete this inviting and distinctive home.
