Guest Post: The Art Filled Home

3 Artful RoomSometimes, the most minimalist of artwork can have a big impact as in this golden rectangle of color. A picture light shines on the painting, while tiny contemporary floor lamps flank the long velvet sofa. It’s a beautiful space.

4 Artful RoomA vast gallery of eclectic artwork fills the wall behind the sofa in this black and white living room. Gallery walls offer a wonderful opportunity to personalize any space with a blank wall.

8 Artful RoomNo available wall to display art in a room? Then take a cue from this lovely Bohemian chic space and hang your favorite painting or print in front of a book shelf. This piece looks great with its wide white frame that blends seamlessly with the white shelves.

Inside Athena Calderone’s Brooklyn Home

02-s97a9799 06-s97a9295 25-s97a9728And her incredible style, apparently. A former model and now interior designer; Athena Calderone’s only rule of design is “you should never follow any rules”. “I am all about mixing and contrasting elements. I think a room should never strike just one note. I love combining polarizing qualities and using elements that seem like they shouldn’t work, but do. I think it creates a tension that brings intrigue and curiosity to a space.”

“I am definitely all about extremes in how I dress and how I design a room. Never too much of the same period in decor and never too many items from the same store or designer. I love mixing the raw and the refined; mixing high and low so things don’t feel too precious or over thought.”
