Of course, who wouldn’t begin with a new kitchen? A wonderful Sub-Zero and a Wolf range, that’s living in luxury.
Other designers also said that the affluent were still investing in their homes, especially their kitchens. “They may not do everything on their wish list, but the kitchen is a large part of their life,” said Alyse Ruth, an interior designer who brought two clients to Tuesday night’s party. In some cases, New York designers said that affluent clients are choosing designs that look less expensive. Eric Lysdahl, a Manhattan interior designer who was also at the reception, said one client had shelved plans two years ago to renovate her apartment on Central Park South with a Clive Christian kitchen and two bathrooms. But she recently enlisted him to resume the renovation. This time, she has chosen Clive Christian designs that he called “simpler,” “cleaner-lined” and “less showy.” – from NYTimes
