This Upper East Side four-bedroom was designed for a young family who wanted classic bones with a sense of humor. We leaned into traditional details, then layered in playful patterns, rich textures, and unexpected color to keep things from feeling too precious. The result is a home that feels polished but lived-in—where antiques happily coexist with kids, dogs, and real life. It’s elegant enough for grown-ups and warm, cheerful, and durable enough for everyday family chaos.
