Uptown Girl

 In Lindsey Harper’s tiny New York apartment, space is no constraint on her opulent, colorful style.

Channeling the best of WASP style, Harper gives velvet-covered sofas and elaborate window treatments a fresh new look. Flanked by a pair of vintage chrome tagres, the velvet sofa gets a jaunty aspect from its white painted frame and mother-of-pearl buttons. In the small space, Harper created a powerful focal point with striped curtains framing the apartment’s one window.

Originally from Cartersville, Georgia, designer Lindsey Harper cut her teeth in the Manhattan offices of Richard Keith Langham before striking out on her own in 2007. Now with her own flourishing design business, she embellished her tiny Upper East Side apartment with her favorite design tropes: sumptuous upholstery, bold color, and ubiquitous animal prints.

The coffee table in Harper’s apartment is from the furniture line she designs along with friend Maggie Currey. She requested the finish be as glossy as nail polish, and the result has all the liquid gleam of a fresh manicure. A zebra rug layered over a sisal carpet adds a layer of richness.
