Living like Neil Patrick Harris is certainly something to aspire to. His talent aside, his home mirrors the many layers and range of his talent and has elements that you can incorporate into your own home with the help of Lamps Plus.
Architectural Digest has recently published pictures of the New York town house he shares with spouse David Burtka and family and is a wonder of eclectic and tasteful decor.
The more formal space is dominated by elegant furniture a timeless piano. I am in awe of the bold painting that dominates the traditional room and woodwork and I love how the almost Venetian-Style chandelier umbrella’s the room. Did I just invent a new design term and verb?
Another living space is more casual and features bold, contemporary lighting. The cheerful space has bright pops of color which is great for young families who want to keep things lighthearted.
1. I love the whimsical Jonathan Adler Rio Patina Bronze Chandelier which has a sculptural quality.
2. The Kathy Ireland Essentials Spinal Floor Lamp is playful but also sophisticated.
The den has a clubby feel with soft leather seating and a warm patina. The antique brass floor lamp compliments the overall look and the colorful art keeps what could be a very serious space, alive and vibrant.
3. The Robert Abbey Ant Bee Swing Arm Brass Pharmacy Floor Lamp is a timeless mate to the classic leather chair.
The kitchen is a great combination of classic and contemporary with a unique way of clustering pendant lighting to create a one-of-a-kind functional focal point.
4. I love the totally unique design of the Quoizel Uptown Seaport Bronze Mini Pendant and would consider using them in powder rooms, halls and bedrooms.
The children’s room is certainly sophisticated yet still easy. Keeping rugs soft for little ones is key as is keeping them dark. That said the modern white chair is a good departure from the darker rug. You may want to “cheat” and keep leather furniture faux with the introduction of pleather.
5. Because the Leonardo Chrome and White Leather Arm Chair is leather, make sure your kids are beyond the “crayon stage.”
