Living Room

Designer Amanda Nisbet mixed elegance and comfort in her New York living room, along with a dash of bling: "I want to eat Christopher Spitzmiller's lamps, they're so juicy!" In the background between the two lamps, the white-painted Cherington bookcase from William Yeoward.

Entry Hall

In the entry hall, Nisbet played a 19th-century marble pier table against a twisty modern ceiling light from Ralph Pucci and Stark's Antelope carpet.

Back-to-Back Sofas

Back-to-back sofas in the living room are upholstered in different fabrics and separated by a sliver of a console that allows just enough room for two lamps and a bouquet. Above the pale, understated mantelpiece, a 1940s rococo mirror looks playful rather than formal. A mixture of subtly striped and geometric-pattern pillows and stacking tables from Hinson bring plush comfort to the sofa.

Dining Room

The china and bibelots on the dining room table once belonged to Amanda's grandmother. To balance the gleam of its ebony surface, the antique dining chairs are covered in lavender matte cotton. An antique demilune table is decked with 20th-century gilt metal palms in black japanned pots. Painting in far corner by Maureen Russell.

Daughter's Bedroom

Her teenage daughter's room is "hip and young, with splashes of modern art" by Polly Apfelbaum hanging on the bookcase, and Gregg Carbo over the bed. "It's a room she can grow into, although I've left some little-girl elements." The extra-tall headboard and the window shade are Canovas's Montego Tourmaline within navy-blue cotton tape. Carpet is Stark's Beaton in brown. Note the stylized Greek key on the rug and headboard.

Master Bathroom

The master bathroom, prettily wrapped in an overscale Manuel Canovas paper from Cowtan & Tout, is "clean, feminine, and glamorous," says Nisbet.

Master Bedroom

The master bedroom is pure crème fraîche, starting with the white Berber carpet. An ivory mohair headboard from Élitis cozies up to two layers of curtains. The zippy fuchsia velvet Louis XV chair adds pop. Painting above it is Much Magenta by Wolf Kahn.

Sitting Area

The bedroom sitting area centers on a painting by Ray Kass, Maury River Cliffs. The Lucite furniture virtually disappears as, to an extent, do the Barbara Barry Baker chairs that Nisbet lacquered creamy white.
