To make the gorgeous view of Manhattan, including Central Park, the highlight of the apartment, minimal design was the primary goal for designer Tara Benet. White walls and clean lines keep the space simple and chic.

Creative Lighting

The living room ceiling only had a socket for a single chandelier. Sculptural, high-wattage lamps add light but continue with the minimal design that the homeowners loved.

Weighty Wall Unit

In an effort to keep the living room clutter free and to add some visual weight to the space, a large wall unit was installed. A few shelves of gray add interest and depth to the otherwise all-white living room.

A Separate Space

A soft rug is added to the dining area to create a feeling a separation, while the surrounding modern art helps to give the space its own personality, independent from but complimentary to the rest of the condo.
