The color-drenched New York kitchen of Nicholas Hussong and Masha Tsimring (and their cat, Watson) is an exercise in renovating for high impact with as little work as possible. They went for materials with texture, including Clé zellige tiles in Fired Opal on the backsplash and a sintered stone countertop, and their contractor painted Ikea cabinets with Benjamin Moore’s Racing Orange.
In the dining room, Guillerme et Chambron armchairs from Maison Gerard surround a CB2 table. The ceiling light is by Lambert & Fils. In the kitchen, rich blue cabinetry with wood details from GD Arredamenti is topped with a Caesarstone “Aire Concrete” counter. The gold artwork is by Joyce Billet.

It is incredible, and it is very elegant.” Fala’s Filipe Magalhães says the plays of scale and direction in the house’s patterns make the modest spaces feel grander and create a visual rhythm.
