Spending a perfect autumn day with Workshop APD principal Matt Berman at his historic Brownstone in Brooklyn, New York. Matt discusses the seven-year renovation process he and his husband embarked on with their then-infant son. The perfect blend of historic craftsmanship with modern updates, this episode is a great example of interior design ideas and how to blend design periods and different color schemes. The architect discusses when to replace versus trying to find originals to update elements of a historic home. He shares tiled bathroom ideas and kitchen design ideas and also addresses a common question “what should I put on my open shelving units?” This home is full of vintage furniture (including mid-century modern designs) and a bold art collection that gives everyone ideas of how to decorate with art. Anyone looking for renovation ideas or preservation ideas will walk away with inspiration for their next home design project.
