My mission was to introduce you to the new design trend called Quiet Luxury, which started in the fashion world. Think high-quality, minimalist pieces that have timeless appeal and an end to big, blingy logos. However, I ended up with a designer crush on a rising star, Ariel Okin of New York, who brings this aesthetic to her many high end projects. So today, I will introduce you to her work and the reasons it stole my heart.
No color, but this streamlined bath feels tranquil and timeless just the same.
I am a sucker for an antique piece turned cocktail bar. This one is simply perfect.
Okin’s bedrooms are soothing and mostly traditional, yet never boring.
This summer home master suite makes you want to crack open a book and read for hours.
This clean lined breakfast nook is an enticing and colorful spot to have your morning coffee.
Soft neutrals abound in Okin’s designs, yet the pops of color steal the show.
Love her mastery of combining patterns and colors.
This classic kitchen with herringbone floors and antique, slate-topped island still seems very current and fresh.
In this kitchen, Okin shows her more modern take on quiet luxury.
This sunny Southhampton home is a classic blend of traditional and retro elements.
