Via @admiddleeast Home to a Kuwaiti family, this maximalist residence in Manhattan is bold, bright and brilliantly out of the box. “We wanted something eclectic and personal – to go out of our comfort zone by not having a monotone, minimalist space,” say the owners of this luxurious four-bedroom apartment, at a sought-after address in New York City. Splitting their time between the United States and their residences abroad, the Kuwaiti family trusted interior designer Kevin Isbell ( @kevinisbell ) to translate their vision into reality, capitalising on a knack for deftly combining bold colour, rich textures and vintage furnishings. In addition to creating something unique, the brief for this home in Manhattan included reflecting an American perspective through the design. The result has clearly exceeded their expectations. “My client’s only demands were that I push myself creatively to deliver something magical,” says Isbell. “I embellished every inch of the home with lacquer finishes, hand-painted papers and tufted silk carpets. This rough diamond was polished into a shimmering aerie overlooking Central Park." The spectacular location played a major role in the selection of elevated furnishings and finishes. Adorning the walls in gold silk upholstery and light blue Venetian plaster, for example, emphasises the out-of-the-box thinking both the client and Isbell were after.
