"The designer had never been inside her new clients' Westchester home. What struck her first, beyond its quaint charm, was its modest scale. "For the area, it was actually very petite," she says of the 1,940-square-foot property. "And when you're walking in, the ceilings are a bit lower." Because the clients wanted to preserve the original 1923 layout, Fisher focused on making each room feel more expansive through strategic use of color and pattern, and by introducing a carefully edited selection of visually powerful pieces."
"She did, however, tear down a couple of walls to make way for the aforementioned chef's kitchen, creating an ample space with a long soapstone island, a professional 48-inch range with side-by-side ovens, and a dining area. Then Fisher, who once worked as a celebrity fashion stylist, took things up a notch with a custom copper hood and a House of Hackney wallpaper featuring big blue flowers on a mustard background."

The living room pairs mauve, sage green, and dusty peach hues with antique and vintage furnishings, a tigerwood bar table by Osvaldo Borsani, and a custom three-sided sofa upholstered in geometric kilim-style fabric from Zak + Fox.
