"A new interior design scheme was in order for a couple who renovated their Greek Revival townhouse two decades ago, but never seriously furnished while their kids were young. As empty nesters, they were ready to enjoy their home anew and do some grownup entertaining. They called on interior designer Emma Montgomery to upgrade the living and dining room decor in keeping with the building's understated elegance."
"Montgomery came up with a new paint, lighting, and furnishings program to brighten and warm the two parlor floor spaces, provide enough seating for large gatherings, and serve as a backdrop for her clients' art collection. "It was a perfect time to invest in things like a silver rug and white lounge chairs," said Montgomery, who established Brooklyn-based Emma Montgomery Design in 2021."
"Step one was a carefully considered paint job. Montgomery chose Strong White by Farrow & Ball for the front parlor and used Alabaster by Benjamin Moore, which has the merest hint of pink, to emphasize the moldings. "In a Greek Revival townhouse, the quality of the trim is stunning, and the height of the space substantial," she said. "You want to show off the trim in a space like this.""
A renovated Greek Revival townhouse received an interior update to create grownup entertaining spaces and showcase the owners' art collection. Designer Emma Montgomery introduced a paint, lighting, and furnishings plan to brighten and warm two parlor-floor rooms and increase seating for large gatherings. Paint choices included Farrow & Ball Strong White for the front parlor and Benjamin Moore Alabaster to emphasize historic moldings. Most furnishings are new and upholstered in custom fabrics, complemented by opulent finishes like a gilded mantel mirror, updated lighting, and hardware. The design preserves architectural details while creating a cohesive elegant backdrop for socializing and art.
