Luxury House Tour in NY | 16 Ridgewood Pl | Living Room

Luxury 3,452 SF living room in NY blending modern elegance with statement design, curated art walls, and premium finishes.

This luxury house located in Brooklyn, New York, is a space where urban energy and personal serenity coexist in perfect harmony. Stepping slightly away from the city’s bustling rhythm, the home is designed so that taste and contemplation naturally flow into everyday life, making it a stage that expresses a way of living rather than a mere residential space.

Within the openness created by high ceilings and expansive windows, the living room prioritizes negative space over display and experience over pure function. Centered around a brown-toned fabric sofa, the layout avoids directing attention toward a single focal point, instead encouraging awareness of the relationships between people and the space itself. The deep, low seating allows the body to relax effortlessly, and as evening falls, dimmed lighting sets the tone for conversations, music, and moments of quiet reflection to unfold naturally.

Design Story

Floor-to-ceiling windows heighten the room’s proportions,
 while long drapery softens the daylight into a calm, luminous atmosphere.
 As sunlight stretches across the floor,
 the space feels expansive yet composed—luxury expressed through clarity, not excess.

Brown-toned seating introduces grounded warmth,
 balanced by the cool refinement of marble, steel accents, and clean-lined forms.
 Golden lighting acts as a subtle highlight,
 bringing softness to the palette and a quiet glow to the overall composition.

Homeowner Q&A

Favorite Element:

“This living room is defined by scale—
 where soaring light meets warm material depth.”

Biggest Challenge & Solution:

A striped rug adds graphic rhythm underfoot,
 sharpening the silhouettes of the furniture and preventing the neutrals from feeling flat.
 The result is a living room where light and material become the focal point—
 modern, warm, and unmistakably elevated.

Budget:

With an investment of $250,000, every piece was chosen for longevity and collectible value. From designer furniture to bespoke finishes, the living room is not merely decorated but crafted as a portfolio of timeless luxury assets.

Lifestyle Impact

This space suits a contemplative lifestyle that breathes slowly in the heart of the city. Rather than functioning as a place centered around watching TV, the living room becomes a space to slow down the pace of the day and truly enjoy lingering moments.

At the center of the room, the brown-toned fabric sofa invites the body to settle in naturally, thanks to its deep and low seating that remains comfortable even over long periods. Instead of facing a television, the sofa embraces the entire space, effortlessly conjuring scenes of evenings spent with dimmed lighting, soft music playing, or intimate conversations over a glass of wine. Even when guests visit, this piece encourages people to think less about what to watch and more about how to spend time together.
