Apartment Redecoration
15 years after completing a complete gut renovation/combination of two townhouse apartments into a single residence with DCA, the owner wanted to fine-tune a few more items, and to redecorate.
In a close collaboration with his client DCA designed several architectural details, such as gilt pilasters and wall corner guards, and new antique mirrored wall panels. Vintage lights, window treatments, custom rugs, and furniture all set against a bold new color palate to create a vibrant and lush environment. One of the more transformative elements was installing a fantastic antique eglomise screen as the backdrop for a bed headboard. A laundry niche secreted behind a fanciful rolling shade in the powder room, is one of the unusual elements of this glamorous bespoke home.
