Homepolish - Glamorous Manhattan Apartment

Begin Slideshow

Joey was ready to redesign his Chelsea apartment and had dreams of old school Hollywood, '50s five-star-hotel-glamour and banana leaf print. Very Beverly Hills Hotel meets Marilyn Monroe meets a contemporary eyebrow expert (that's Joey).

Matched with our designer Tina Apostolou, the two found the perfect, classic Martinique wallpaper, beautiful, fun art, and glam wall sconces to complement Joey’s existing furniture. Adding the bedroom's banana leaf wallpaper to the bookshelf he already had in the living room created a cohesive visual connection between the living and bedroom. Custom neon lettering that says "noir" adds a cool contemporary detail that works perfectly with his lavender velvet sofa!

Tour the space in the slideshow and get lost in Joey’s super chic jungle.
