What are some
of your favorite
architectural
periods to work
with and why?
Designer Sandra
Nunnerley used an
understated pattern
and sleek curves to call
attention to the far end
of a stunning Harborside
apartment, where she left
a sweeping view of New
York undisturbed.
I’m inspired by all
architectural periods; I
don’t have a favorite one.
I’m not a minimalist,
but I believe an interior
look improves when the
furnishings are pared
down. It’s when you
give things breathing
room that you reveal
own homes: a home should be highly functional,
but also reflective of the owner’s passions and
interests. My New York City townhouse brings a
tasteful form-meets-function approach in each of
its rooms, reflecting my own lifestyle and passion
for travel and art.
Let’s talk about your approach to color
and texture. Can you describe your
personal philosophy regarding these two
elements? How do you balance the two,
typically?
I personally love the interplay between fabrics,
the shared line, shape,
color and texture that
allow pieces of disparate
provenance to harmonize
any architectural period.
