Glamour images can be simply elegant, such as black and white, or truly elegant.
For a living room arranged in such a way, you need to choose non-accidental prints. Any gold, or silver finishes, as well as glass, light-reflecting decorations will certainly work. It is important to choose all accessories with care, because if you do not do it, it is easy to turn glamour into kitsch. Gilded or copper bowls or sculptures will also look good. You can consider wallpaper with a shimmering ornament. The living room, considered the heart of the house, is worth equipping with high-gloss furniture, stylized or simply crystal chandeliers, elegant curtains. Anyone who wants to live in a unique place, refined with attention to detail, and feel in their own home every day as in a real residence, should consider the glamour style. Modern glamour interiors, apart from being simply beautifully finished and decorated, invite you to suberge yourself in their pleasant glow. However, those who think that such arrangements are cold and devoid of coziness, are wrong. The glamour style in the interiors manifests itself in elegance and chic. “I think you can get a formal house to bend both ways.Glamour is English splendor, brilliance and charm. “I’m a nut about livability,” Schafer says. The floors throughout, of reclaimed antique oak, can stand up to Amber and Chloe, the couple’s Brittany spaniels. In the library, the touch of a button transforms the mirror above the fireplace into a television. Two bedrooms upstairs serve as private quarters for guests-ideal for the owners’ young grandchildren. My choice would have just disappeared.”įor all the understated grandeur and rich color Redd brought to the project, Schafer made sure the house functions beautifully. “I wanted a subdued New England color, like putty,” she explains, “but Miles said, ‘You have to go with me on this.’ I struggled, and then told him, ‘Miles, I am going to give you this, because you have given me what I want.’ The minute it was done, I saw how brilliant it was, relating the blues throughout the rooms.
But when he suggested the butler’s pantry be lacquered marine-blue, the wife initially resisted. Redd, who understands how hue can add emotion and flow to a house, repeated the celery color in the couple’s bedroom with a de Gournay wallcovering. Braun & Co., and the bench is 19th century. In the master bedroom, the wrought-iron bed by Oscar de la Renta is fitted with a canopy of silk by Roger Arlington Designs the bedding is by E. “It didn’t have any of the problems of the other old houses in the area.” “When we got there, I said to my husband, ‘This is the most extraordinary Greek Revival,’” she recalls. Then they were invited to architect Gil Schafer’s annual summer cocktail party. “Most of the houses were dark and close to the road.” Not to mention they are often jumbled on top of one another and, with their huge rooms, difficult to heat in the winter and cool in the summer. That’s exactly what a financier and his wife, a former antiques dealer, were looking for when, after renting in the area for several years, they decided to make the leap and trade in their Upper East Side townhouse for a place in the country. It’s not an uncommon fantasy among sophisticated Manhattanites-trading in the urban digs (while maintaining a pied-à-terre, of course) for a great old house in New York’s historic Hudson Valley-one with big fireplaces and lots of room for grandchildren and guests, as well as views of some of America’s loveliest countryside.
