Rumson Estate

This expansive full home design was centered around creating a refined backdrop for gathering, entertaining, and everyday living. Clean architectural lines and custom furnishings establish a modern yet inviting atmosphere throughout the home. 

The living areas were curated with sculptural furniture, modern finishes, and intentional negative space, allowing the architecture and natural light to take center stage. Thoughtfully placed moments of color and pattern introduce visual interest and depth, creating subtle focal points without overwhelming the overall palette. Tailored millwork, soft material transitions, and a cohesive approach to color bring continuity across the residence while still allowing each space to feel distinct. The result is a polished, gallery-like interior that feels elevated yet livable.
