Plascon House Tour: Brooklyn Brownstone Transformation

A rundown Brooklyn Brownstone apartment is given a makeover with a stylish new interior that is sleek, neutral and ideal for modern living.

From the entrance, a neutral interior sets the tone of this home, and the soft colour palette extends throughout this home, lending it a calming yet timeless ambience. Many of the home’s original features were kept, including the cornices, high ceilings and period features in the living room.

A vintage pendant adds to the timeless design of the living room. Large windows allow for a light-filled and airy space.

A neutral scheme extends into the kitchen where again, vintage light fittings add hints of gold and sparkle to the design. Wooden flooring and bespoke neutral cabinetry brings a sense of elegance and richness to this new home.

The kitchen opens up to a dining room, which is kept simple and neutral. Pared-back design is the order of the day here, and a simple, uncluttered table steals the show. Abstract framed art brings added interest too.

Ornate ceiling details breathe life into the master bedroom. A dark upholstered bed and headboard are bold and beautiful in this light-filled retreat. The bed linen is kept sleek and simple – a minimalist yet appealing layout that creates a haven of rest in the bedroom.

The master bedroom leads to the ensuite bathroom, complete with freestanding bath and shower head. White subway tiles give this space a relaxed yet elegant feel – clean, crisp and sleek in its design. A central window also allows for ample natural lighting and hints at the urban exterior and apartment living that is right on the doorstep. It also makes provision for a few views of the adjacent garden area.
