The apartment’s entry door opens onto a mezzanine perched between the two main levels, a stage set with a round table of pale wood, a custom storage and seating piece upholstered in red velvet, and a vintage caned bench. A trio of Rime glass gloves from Design Within Reach, hung at different levels, heightens the drama.

Working almost from scratch, as the homeowners brought only a couple of rugs and a few vibrnt Nigerian artworks from their previous home, Rosenblum re-imagined some two dozen vintage chairs and sofas from such sources as 1stDibs and the Brimfield flea market, re-vamping them with modern fabrics chosent for warmth and personality.

Upstairs in the primary bedroom, a distinctive channeled headboard by Double R Design, covered in moss-colored velvet, incorporates custom floating nightstands of fluted wood. The champagne-colored grasscloth on the wall above was sourced from Schumacher. An oval Hollywood Regency chair in purple burn-out velvet strikes a playful note in one corner.
