Jersey City, New Jersey
Modern High-Rise living with a Victorian Twist
The Brief
Highlight the amazing Manhattan skyline and Hudson River view from the 23rd floor of a modern Jersey City high-rise apartment building. Incorporate vintage family furniture originally used in the family’s historic, turn-of-the-century Massachusetts’ Victorian home to create a space that celebrates both the family heritage and the success of the current generation.
The Design
Vintage Oriental rugs in a rich red add warmth to the space.
Living area seating takes advantage of the spectacular view and includes vintage gold velvet armchairs.
A modern comfortable sectional couch and cream-colored shag rug provide cozy seating.
Vintage pieces of family art contrast with the modern teal frames of the large windows.
A mirror hung above the couch reflects the skyline view, to make it visible from all sides.
