For Luxe Next In Design 99 talents Crystal and Ben Sinclair of Crystal Sinclair Designs, a Brooklyn brownstone was both a playground and inspiration. See: its living room, ripe with soul.

The inspo: A mix of old and new and a good dose of color. Plus, a playlist of the owners’ favorite songs!

The stars: The curved sofa is Crate & Barrel and the art is Liza Giles (right) and Natural Curiosities (left).

The palette: Our clients wanted warm hues that wouldn’t feel too warm. A riff on primary colors always feels right and balanced.

Manhattan’s landmarked Belnord building was the perfect backdrop for the comfortable and composed ethos of Luxe Next In Design 99 pros Sarah Sargeant and Risa Emen of Cochineal Design. The homeowner’s bedroom is case in point.

The inspo: Our client requested a “grown-up pink bedroom,” and we were thrilled to oblige.

The stars: Pierre Frey velvet on the bed, an embroidered Holland & Sherry pillow and Farrow & Ball wallpaper.

The palette: Warm tones to foster joy and lightness. Mixing textures, tones and eras adds sophistication and depth.

With Becca Interiors, Becca Casey tailored a Southampton haven for a family of five. The Luxe Next In Design 99 honoree runs us through the breakfast nook.

The inspo: To seek informality. This is a space to gather and create special memories, not one to feel precious around.

The stars: A vintage table and chairs under an Authentic Provence pendant light.

The palette: Nubby sand textiles drawn from the dunes and indigos inspired by the ocean.
