Entrance with Pizzazz!

Previously, I discussed about giving life to a humdrum hallway by providing unique furniture. Here’s another way to give that old hallway some pizzazz! At the Kips Bay Designer Show House interior designer extraordinaire, Larry Laslo, showed us his flair for drama.

At the penthouse suite, Mr. Laslo covered the entrance walls in a red and gold velvet animal stripe fabric – called Magnetism, part of his new fabric collection he designed for Robert Allen fabrics. Doesn’t it just mesmerize and pull you in? He then proceeded to add an oversized Jansen sunburst mirror that just radiates “look at me!” in a very elegant way. A simple bench upholstered in a jeweled striped fabric called Aquavite completes the picture.



Hanging above the foyer is a brass Sputnik chandelier. The other wall of the foyer displays a mixed-media artwork by Perez Flores called Prochromatique. A pair of shell sconces flanks the artwork and a matching plaster console table provides space to drop your keys or display your curios. Just because the hallway is the least important space in the house doesn’t mean you have to settle for boring!

If you’re looking for more inspiration, head out to the Kips Bay Designer Show House. This year’s event is held at the Manhattan Center on 200 E. 66th St. in New York City and is on display until May 22nd.

That really does say "LOOK AT ME" - the kind of bold statement that really impresses me. Keep up the good work please.
