New Yorker interior designer Sandra Nunnerley carries out projects which capture her passion for the construction of glamourous refuges for her clients. The comfort prevails in all her projects and elegance in every single detail.

”First and foremost in my work is the lifestyle of the clients. I'd never want to create a room that is beautiful but that people just walk through and look at but never actually use. So I'm always trying to demonstrate that while form can follow function, that doesn't mean it can't also have great glamour, luxe, and interest,” confirms.

Synonym of ”balanced and self-confident”, Nunnerley represents a timeless style which makes us feel safe, even with the passage of time, and which is eternal and distinguished without being too over-elaborate.

Her houses invite you to go in and to enjoy each room in a natural way thanks to the effect of her work: she creates warm and homey atmospheres due to the use of excellent materials and great quality fabrics.

”I like to juxtapose unfussy linens for walls, curtains, and furniture with luxurious fabrics: silk, cashmere, mohair. Touches of glamour-pearlized walls, wonderful stones-play against more everyday materials to create spaces that are both easy to be in and beautiful.”

Considering all her projects, she is especially proud of her own home, an accurate reflection of the designer’s real feelings: ”It represents a coming together of architecture, design, and collecting that is a hallmark of my work, and it has a special tranquility, a peacefulness about it: a harmonious balance of multipurpose furnishings, one-of-a kind pieces, and fantastic art alongside things I've collected on my travels.”

Nunnerley creates serene atmospheres which are decorated in a style that brings classic and contemporary together: ”Good things look better in rooms furnished with less.” It is important to achieve harmony to get a decoration able to ”envolve.”

A maxim with which the designer captures in all of her projects the essence of the real home.
