New York Behind Closed Doors
About this book
A look inside the homes of New York City's artists, designers, writers, and social influencers, including in-depth interviews.
These twenty-four homes reflect the tastes and styles of real New Yorkers who live in small spaces with art, books, collections, treasures, and fabulous, sometimes funky furniture—each space expressing the resident's unique personality. Bright, captivating photographs throughout pair dynamically with Polly Devlin's in-depth interviews with the homeowners. Her critiques of their spaces are at once delightful, bold, and irreverent—and always lively and opinionated.
From architectural grandeur to streamlined modern buildings, see how individuals turn older apartments and historic structures into places for comfortable living. Houses and apartments are sampled from across the city, including Tribeca, Murray Hill, Union Square, Harlem, Midtown, Brooklyn, and more.
Assembled by a former Vogue editor and a photographer who has worked for House Beautiful, Travel + Leisure, and other major publications, this is a visual and literary feast.
