Between Instagram posts, Pinterest boards, and design magazines, there would appear to be no shortage of sources of inspiration for home decor. Add real estate listings to the mix - a number of new developments have teamed up with top interior design talent to create one-of-a-kind model units that put the latest trends on display and show off the views and interiors of the apartments.
In this article:
Classic elegance meets modern sensibilities
The Wales, #7B (Evan Joseph Photograph)
↓ Pembrooke & Ives brings its eye for elegance to this model unit at the condo conversion of the landmarked Hotel Wales.
↓ Custom decorative cornices and base moldings, white oak herringbone floors, and Art Deco motifs enhance the expansive living spaces.
↓ A white lacquer island is the unofficial heart of the kitchen, and generous custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances make it ideal for at-home gourmands.
↓ The primary suite is at the opposite end of the apartment from the living space, and enhanced by a walk-in closet and five-fixture bath.
Modern-day artist's loft
Front & York, #4E-YORK (Colin Miller)
↓ “Thinking about the priorities of actual homeowners and DUMBO residents led us to consider warmth, comfort, and texture in ways that are typically not a focus for this type of design.” - Andrew Bowen, Partner and Head of Staging, ASH Staging
↓ Generous seating and a marriage of cool and warm tones makes for a welcoming atmosphere for entertaining, and art sourced through Brooklyn-based artists acts as natural conversation starters.
↓ Between the linen bedding, knit blanket, silk rug, and concrete lamps, a variety of textures adds personality to the neutral-hued primary bedroom.
Masterpiece next door to the MoMA

↓ In addition to a collection of sculptures curated by RR Interiors, the home features an extensive collection of original artworks from 12 different countries curated by Creative Art Partners.
↓ Past a windowed study that perfectly reflects the modern buyer’s needs, the primary suite offers north and east-facing views, a walk-in closet, and a spacious windowed en suite bath.
Bright accent walls
One Manhattan Square (Evan Joseph)
↓ Designer Anna Karlin dubbed this model residence “The Instagrammer,” and a combination of colorful accent walls and distinctive furnishings and accessories brings an influencer to mind.
↓ Pale pink accent walls warm up the living space and kitchen.
↓ In the primary bedroom, royal blue walls make for a serene atmosphere.
Natural materials in an urban environment
96+Broadway
↓ "96+Broadway was created with practicality and design excellence at heart, maximizing the quality of living for all residents who choose to call it home through generous floor plans, top-tier materials, and master craftsmanship" - Thomas Juul-Hansen
↓ At the heart of the home, the kitchen displays European white oak flooring, solid oak cabinetry, and desert slab quartz countertops.
