4 Exclusive Tips From The Domino Show House

Last week’s first-ever shop-able show house by Domino magazine was alight with young designers with contemporary visions. The show house, located at 15 William Street in NYC, featured four condominiums decorated by Antonino Buzetta, J+G Designs, Dekar Design & Jenny J. Norris. All merchandise is readily available and can be purchased from each room.

Antonino Buzzetta along with Sebastian Pinon created a chic retreat with a tribal flair featuring Homeware’s furniture. Ethnic patterns peppered the entire space, tying several rooms together.

Tip: “Getting a little crazy with pattern is okay in our book, because it adds depth and interest” explains Pinon, “And in a small space, we like to paint the moulding the same color as the wall to visually raise the height of the ceiling.”

Dekar Design brought some of our favorite trends to their apartment unit—marbleized prints (on the master bedroom’s headboard) and a mix of intricate geometric prints (in the living area). We love their eclectic combination of both sleek and rough-hewn Ballard pieces.

Tip: “We tried to layer on the patterns particularly in the living room. We have blue, black, white and red and we threw it off with a mustard coffee table that gives an authentic touch so it feels like it’s been collected through the years”

One of the more colorful spaces of the show house, this apartment unit by J + G design feels refreshing with its skilled use of Thomasville furniture. Features that stood out to us were the abstract artwork that mimics the throw pillows in the living room, the fun confetti-like bedding in the kid’s room, and the pretty chinoiserie panels in the master bedroom.

Tip: “In a modern high rise city apartment, use a mix of textures to create a warm and cozy environment!”

Jenny J. Norris brought the ’70s back with Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams’ mid century furniture in a super-stylish way. Crushed velvet, luxurious furs and grasscloth accent walls are featured in this space.

Tip: “Use textured wall coverings like grass cloth to give dimension to a room.”

Fun critter-themed prints like butterflies, birds and turtles are a fun way to liven up a room! Check out these ways to incorporate them into your home in a refined, grown-up way.

Mixing contrasting styles is a major décor trend that we see sticking around. Give playful prints of wild things a dose of sophistication by pairing it with elegant pieces. Here, artist Hunt Slonem’s tortoise-themed fabric (his personal favorite from his new collection) is upholstered onto ornate 19^th century chairs.

In a similar way, cheerful animal prints can add a sense of whimsy to spaces with modern architectural features. This adds softness and warmth to features that can otherwise feel a bit sterile. Style editor Chassie Post’s home is a prime example of this—we especially love how the butterfly wallpaper looks in the kitchen.

Instead of using an animal-themed print all over your walls, try incorporating a pattern on one piece of furniture. Here, designer Nick Olsen used a fabric fit with colorful parrots on the sofa of this bedroom. Olsen’s look incorporates a lot of color and pattern, but you can use the bird print as the single pop of color in the space, too.

Prints with animals in them can be subtle, too! Just choose a version that is neutral in color. This bedroom showcases a large Cole & Son Flamingo wall covering in a grey/taupe color way, which tones down the large scale of the pattern, making it soothing enough for a bedroom.
