Step Inside This Artistic Apartment by Kelly Behun
Step inside this modern artistic apartment in Manhattan, filled with art and natural light.
When it comes to residential interior design, it’s crucial to consider the client’s identity, including their preferences, values, and lifestyle. Renowned designer Kelly Behun took this into account when creating a stunning modern apartment in Manhattan for an international couple, Marcus Meijer, a real estate investor, and his wife Maria. Their apartment serves as a luxurious pied-à-terre and showcases their fascinating art collection.
A vision brought to life
Kelly Behun’s artistic apartment exemplifies contemporary luxury living. Located in one of New York City’s most coveted areas, it boasts mesmerizing views of the Hudson River, the iconic skyline, and landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, World Trade Center, and Empire State Building. The clients’ priority was to optimize natural light and capitalize on the remarkable vistas.
To fulfil this vision, Kelly Behun skillfully designed a tranquil haven that feels like a hidden sanctuary amidst the bustling city. It offers a sense of detachment from the world. Furthermore, it’s a place where you can quietly observe the breathtaking panorama from your own comfortable and private space in the sky.
Take a look inside
Upon entering this extraordinary apartment, one immediately senses a serene and tranquil atmosphere that envelops the space.
This sensation of peace is achieved through a combination of factors. Firstly, the soft neutral colour palette serves as the foundation of the design, evoking a soothing ambience. From creamy tones to gentle corals and earthy browns, these carefully chosen colours create a perfect backdrop for the remarkable art collection that adorns every room.
Additionally, the calm and composed ambience can be attributed to the slightly minimalist approach employed by designer Kelly Behun. Embracing organic shapes and clean lines, she deliberately selected furnishings that maintain a sense of simplicity. As Behun explains, “It’s a minimally furnished apartment, but it incorporates luxurious details.”
Through the skilful interplay of a serene colour palette and mindful minimalism, Kelly Behun has created a space that exudes tranquillity. Furthermore, it allows residents and guests to immerse themselves in a world of refined beauty.
