from New York design guru Steven Gambrel
STEVENGAMBREL’S second tome,
Steven Gambrel: Perspective,isa
masterclass in good taste. As the founder
and president of SR Gambrel, the
sought-after New York interior design
and architecture practice, he’s honed
his signature style across a slew of
international projects. This book is filled
with beautiful images, from the designer’s
tailored period townhouse in New York
City’s West Village to a limewashed brick
beach house in Bridgehampton. Gambrel’s
renovation of a charming sea captain’s
house in Sag Harbor, with its quaint
shiplap cladding and modern take on
a white picket fence, is one to drool over.
His confident use of colour is endlessly
inspiring – a rich palette of bright pinks,
emerald greens and cerulean blues make
for a lively backdrop – while nods to
historical references and a mixture of
curated vintage and antique pieces give his
spaces their warm and welcoming mood.QSteven Gambrel: Perspectiveby Steven
