James Andrew Interior Design
We do bring you a lot of posts regarding furniture, art, and accessories, however sometimes it’s hard to imagine how all of this will come together in an actual interior – and so, after several requests to show more of my interior work, I bring you a sampling of what I like to call “Bohemian Opulence” – a rich mix of international arts and crafts integrated with important French and English antiques.
Featured here is a glimpse into the drawing room of a super chic couple’s townhouse. While residing in London my clients accumulated a rather spectacular array of fine antiques, and so when they acquired a 1890’s town house here in NYC, we opted to use this collection as the inspiration for the decoration. We developed a story for the interior based on a turn of the century world tour scenario, filling their home as was the style of the day, with an eclectic array of objects that would have been collected while on this fanciful gallivant around the globe. I made sense of the pieces, creating the perfect backdrops, furniture arrangements, and placement of these treasured items, filling in the missing parts where needed. The result is a striking modern day “Age of Innocence” kind of splendor with a few twists like the use of contemporary paintings to offset a massive fragment from an ancient Tibetan temple.
In any case, per request, we’ll be sure to bring you more from my portfolio (which includes a great range of styles) in the coming days!

Me encantan las cortinas, se ven maravillosas y el reloj es una obra de arte!
Lieber James,
Dieses Wohnzimmer ist ganz mein Geschmack, wenn ich das sehe erinnere mich an schöne Erlebnise, die Zeit bei meiner Oma in Bayern, sie hatte ein altes schönes Haus mit solchen Sachen, es ist unendlich schön…
Drück Dich,
Christiane

you reflect your inner beauty in your interiors…
Dear James,
What a warm and inviting room. I particularly like the window (curtains) and is that an “Odom” chair I see by the fireplace ? I find your palette very “English” – which seems very suitable for this client of yours. Congrats on yet another well done job !
