All About NYC
Longevity is having a moment. In New York, even luxury real estate is beginning to move beyond the usual amenities — gyms, spas, pools — and into the world of diagnostics, recovery, prevention, and long-term wellbeing. One recent example is One High Line, where Atria Health and Research Institute is reportedly bringing five floors of longevity-focused health services to the building, including advanced screenings and medical wellness offerings. But to me, designing for longevity is not a trend. It is not simply about adding a cold plunge, a sauna, or a wellness room. It is about creating homes that support the body, calm the nervous system, encourage daily rituals, and age beautifully over time. At Kati Curtis Design, we think about longevity in two ways: the longevity of the people who live in the home, and the longevity of the home itself. Longevity Begins With How a Home Makes You Feel A home can either regulate you or deplete you. The right interior does more than look beautiful. It affects how you sleep, how you move, how you breathe, how you gather, how you recover, and how you begin and end each day. When we design a home, we are thinking about the invisible layers as much as the visible ones: light, air, acoustics, flow, materials, comfort, and emotional ease. The goal is not perfection. The goal is a home that quietly supports a better life. Designing for Healthspan, Not...

With so many working from home these days, you may be thinking "It's time to rethink my home office interior design". We don't blame you! You spend so much time in your office, and it should be a space that is not only functional, but beautiful. Today, we are sharing some of our top tips for making your home office feel like an inspiring workspace. From color palette to finishes, every detail matters. Take a look! Warm Color Schemes A typical home office interior design usually gravitates towards white and stale colors, but why not make your space warm and inviting? For our client's Central Park West home office, she wanted a space that was warm and bright, and we delivered. The red grasscloth wallpaper is warm without being overstimulating, and the rich wood furniture makes the space feel more welcoming and cozy. To balance out all the warmth, we added in bright blue accents to give contrast. Most importantly, we positioned the desk right by the window for lots of natural light and beautiful views of the park. Luxe Finishes Our clients' Tribeca apartment was full of rich color and luxurious finishes. It was only natural to continue this palette into the home office! We believe that your workspace affects your headspace, so we brought in beautiful brass and gold accents to promote prosperity and mindfulness. The cabinet doors have a luxurious rich blue overlay, which...
After the year we've all had, we're seeing more and more of our clients ask for extra color in their homes. Of course, we are more than happy to oblige. Bold color statements are a great way to brighten up your home and perk up your spirits on even the darkest of days. Here at KCD, we are no strangers to color, so today, we're sharing our secrets to mastering bold color. Take a look below for colorful interior design inspiration! Monochromatic Color Inspiration One of the most obvious ways to make a bold color statement in your interior design is to use a monochromatic color palette. In our client's Central Park West apartment, she insisted on a "red" bedroom. Of course we wanted to honor her wishes, but we needed to figure out a way to make it feel natural and not overwhelming. Red has a tendency to be overstimulating when used too much, so it's all about balance. We started with a red grasscloth wallpaper, which was the star of the show. With such a bold color, it's important to keep it simple. The grasscloth texture gave that bit of visual interest without feeling too busy. We then moved to the bed, which featured a red blockprint fabric upholstery, and was complimented by the antique red ikat at the foot of the bed. Complimentary Colors Next, we have complimentary color schemes. Complimentary colors are on...
After the year we've all had, I think it's safe to say a trip to the Hamptons sounds like the perfect escape. The clean breeze, soothing waves, and tranquility all are so appealing, no wonder the Hamptons are such a popular destination! Many of our clients have stunning beach houses in the Hamptons, and we've come to find that bringing a little bit of that refined, yet relaxed Hamptons energy into our NYC interior design can be a great choice. Today, we wanted to share a bit of our philosophy into channeling that Hamptons interior design style no matter where you live. Take a look! It's All in the Mix If you've been following us for a while, you know that style mixing is a big part of how we create our magic. And designing with the Hamptons Interior Design style in mind is no different! As you can see above, we mixed a multitude of styles, patterns, and textures to attain this relaxed look. We mixed materials like the raw wood table and the exposed brick fireplace with crisp, clean lines in the furniture. We added abstract art above the fireplace to balance the very contemporary lines of the millwork and windows. To tie it all together, we added in subtle, yet intricate patterns in the wool rug and the throw pillows to add some more interest and culture to the space. Contrast is Everything Next,...
