When a hip Manhattan family approached Top Design’s Season 2 winner, Nathan Thomas, to rejuvenate their daughter’s bedroom, he was surprised and delighted when the makeover stretched into a redesign of the entire 4000 square foot apartment.
The designer enthuses, “The family gave me complete freedom to update the space and leverage their love of colour. “
Nathan kicked off the project by creating a unique “Kid’s Study.” He added playful flourishes like the chalkboard paint wall, striped carpet and casual, outdoor lounge seating to stimulate activity.
Located in the classic Upper East Side and steps away from the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art and Central Park, this pre-war residence features ample natural light and handsome coffered ceilings.
