Design lesson of the day (just in case you were doubting it for a second) is that white definitely can be a wow for interiors. Case in point is the NYC home of (the former "serial renter", according to AD) Donny Deutch. From the Damien Hirst medicine cabinet above the sofa to the giant quilted headboard to the pristine hard-edged kitchen, this is one sleek, decidedly non-vanilla, white home.
Filled with art and fantastic furnishings, the photos of the project by designers Tony Ingrao and Randy Kemper are totally compelling. It's such a very contemporary direction for an 1880's home but it feels just right - it's a classic in it's one way and suits the sophisticated bones of the space.

I love the modern glam. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the Hirst, but a suitable replacement could easily be found.
The rich red velvet takes that living room from stark and imposing to lush and inviting! I was just thinking today how I may never get away from white walls and that's okay by me even though I LOVE color!
I dont care for this at all. Red velvet reminds me of the early 90s.
Nothing new....
Now I feel really poor : (
It both looks like it was inspired by the inside of a sharps disposal container and is about as livable.
i think there are some good pieces in here, but i don't care for the assembly at all. i think they took the black/white/red color scheme a bit too seriously.
My first thought, on seeing the LR photo was 'wow, very self-conscious home' - and - I was shocked because I've never thought that about any interior before. Then I read Deutch's name and I was genuinely surprised it's his home (I don't find him appealing but it seems odd to me he lives inside a white box). The BR's a bit better but the kitchen is absolutely cold and sterile. I don't find the home inviting and it makes me so grateful I have my space (even if it is much smaller!).
The kitchen already seems dated somehow.
It's like a 14 year old girl was asked to design a space for a sassy grandmother in 2002.
That couch will be miiiiiiiiiiine.....
Dude, he has two of them! And a million other couches besides... surely he can spare me one? XD
(I really like the smiling cloud on the playroom wall for some reason....)
