  • On today’s episode of Homeworthy, we’re taking you to the Gramercy Park neighborhood of New York City for a look inside designer Bennett Leifer's charming apartment. He renovated this pre-war apartment into a stunning jewel box complete with a painting bar instead of one that holds adult beverages! The apartment also has access to the private Gramercy Park--only accessible by key--which is an added bonus for anyone who lives on the perimeter of the park. Enjoy!

    Love this apartment! I love the designing of it and it feels clean, organized, spacious and grand! So well thought out. He was delightful and I would love to just sit and chat with him over a glass of wine.

  • @debrahayes3778
    @debrahayes3778 Před 11 měsíci +9

    Such a pleasure to listen to how he thinks! "A nest that no one can hinder". Love that. It's something everyone needs.

  • @terryleong1297
    @terryleong1297 Před 11 měsíci +16

    The interior design not only reflects his personality, but also the lushness of the park and trees. It's really well thought out, with the designed layout and specific design elements and artwork, even down to the china and glassware. Mostly, I like that it's not over-done. There's a simplistic elegance, refinement and moodiness that is so appealing. Love this home!

  • @nadiaali5022

    I've watched this feature multiple times. There was so much to admire. He is relaxed just like his space. Elegant and cute! Such an example of having everything you want in a small space. Well done!

    • @HenryJuhala
      @HenryJuhala Před 10 měsíci +2

      Same here. This is about my 3rd time. I am going through it pausing on multiple frames just to admire and absorb some of his design style and color combinations.

    Interiors are as soulful, flat, hollow, extraordinary as their creators. Bennett seems to honor all that potential magic and metaphor with great thoughtfulness, mental chisel, and tender application. Bravo, Bennett, you're place is really lovely, as I'm sure all your projects. Thank you for the share.

  • @fleurdelis2976

    • @TubeTorte
      @TubeTorte Před 11 měsíci +2

      YES! I have never seen any like that. No doubt another person would have them in a very busy room turning them into a negative. Here their uniqueness is showcased. Love them!

  • @regisnyder
    @regisnyder Před 11 měsíci +7

    ❤❤❤❤ I love his hidden away powder room - especially the clear push-to-open panel on the door! The colors are so rich throughout his apartment. His credenza used as a work desk makes me rethink how to change out my desk in the livingroom to a piece that is always functional but pleasantly cohesive with the other furniture - plus can used as a buffet table for gatherings!

  • @vintagegal5616
    @vintagegal5616 Před 11 měsíci +28

    These high end New York Apts are so fabulous, and have so much character. I would love to live in that location next to the park. You can actually have your own key to the entrance. 😮

    This is one fabulous apartment! And that outrageous, beautifully lush rug in the living room. He's got one hell of an eye.

  • @neweverymorningmercy3491
    @neweverymorningmercy3491 Před 11 měsíci +21

    Lovely. Very well thought out, I like how one room flows into another, nice calming feel and beautiful colours. The powder room floor tile and the living room rug..stunning!

  • @Staceydallen1
    @Staceydallen1 Před 11 měsíci +14

    Beautiful apartment and such good use of space. It highlighted things he loved perfectly. His demeanor was so calm that he was a joy to watch.

  • @karladenton5034
    @karladenton5034 Před 11 měsíci +26

    I love pre-war/between the wars architecture. (I have a c 1920s midwest Arts and Crafts Bungalow myself.) I really like the way he has honored the bones of his home and still updated and reconfigured to current needs. I would have done a massive library wall where he has the screen, but I have a bit of a book problem LOL. Totally stealing the idea of mouthwash in crystal!

    • @greggschroeder
      @greggschroeder Před 11 měsíci +8

      Yes, now I know what to do with my parents' crystal decanter that no longer has its matching glasses.

    • @mo.b1614

  • @lianeabeyta4515
    @lianeabeyta4515 Před 11 měsíci +18

    Yes... a nest! I always say I love to feather my nest. Also I have a dark navy camel back old sofa and and chair. I love the rich saturated colors, so your home feels so calming and peaceful to me. Looking out your bedroom window is like living in a treehouse. And.... I would expect nothing less from your closet !!! Immaculate , organized perfection.

  • @robinzaleski5
    @robinzaleski5 Před 11 měsíci +1

    He is a magpie in the best sense in that he has feathered his nest with all his favorite things, but in a way that is cohesive and makes sense. We should all be so fortunate!

  • @melindaferreira9879
    @melindaferreira9879 Před 11 měsíci +11

  • @marty1159
    @marty1159 Před 11 měsíci +6

    I love your “nest” and may I say you hit it outta the park with your jewel box. I love the color combination and the amazing use of space. It’s hard to choose a favorite with so much beauty but I’d say that area rug is insane. I’ve never seen anything so perfect. I’ve watched 3 times and still find a new delight. Thanks for sharing!

  • @marcoquivaqui

    @klou3527 Před 11 měsíci +1

    @fishercourt Před 11 měsíci +4

    Allison and everyone at Homeworthy, you guys picked a great homeowner to interview and I love how calm and welcoming he was during the video. He reiterated the importance of how you feel in your own space, rather than how trendy and expensive the brands are in a home. Bravo! ❤❤❤

  • @sambrugato6645

  • @chrispnw2547
    @chrispnw2547 Před 8 měsíci

    This man is a master of color and assembling a cohesive palette of complementary colours, patterns, and fabrics. The before was harsh from a lighting perspective but he added a massive mix of color yet the space is properly light balanced. His home is clearly expensive as he has not skimped on anything yet it does not shout "I'm Expensive". I will be creating my next home in the Netherlands and I could truly benefit from his talents but expect his sort of skills are $$$$$. Thank you Homeworthy.

  • @jameswarhol442
    @jameswarhol442 Před 11 měsíci

    The muted color combinations are really great. Overall elegant, sensual, calming. Walk a block away from the park and you're surrounded by the hustle, bustle, noise and madness of NYC.

  • @carolefreeman2544
    @carolefreeman2544 Před 11 měsíci +6

    Your home should be comfortable but reflect who you are. Your home does exactly this! You can tell that you are very creative, artistic and a lover of design and organization. To walk into your Apt., I feel I am walking into a Masterpiece which is welcoming, very thought out and a great representation of your own personal space.

    Bennet is a great looking man with AMAZING Talent! I like what he did with his home in NYC’s Gramercy Park. I myself am a bit VERY Traditional with great antique & oil paintings. But he’s much younger and I like the way he mixes everything together... Thank you for sharing your home on HomeWorthy Bennet!! Doug from Philadelphia...

  • @ehpeachylove
    @ehpeachylove Před 11 měsíci +2

    Thank you Homeworthy for taking us on a tour of the gorgeous apartment.
    What a delightful, humble, and sensitive young man. I loved every detail of his home. You can tell how much thought was put into each room.
    The color green is my favorite too. The kitchen may be small but so calming and bright, the wallpaper is beautiful.
    I loved all the sweet favorites gifted from his family, the paintings and the portraits. I especially liked the color and style of the chairs and sofa in the living room. The rug brings it all together so nicely.
    Enjoyed listening to this young man very much. 🌆

    @jimandjudyc48 Před 11 měsíci +2

    Beautiful colors and designs for an apartment that overlooks Gramercy Park...it just seems to belong there. A bit moody and "old-school," but with some modern touches, which I like. He has also paid careful attention to details.

  • @heartofoak45
    @heartofoak45 Před 11 měsíci +3

    A beautiful apartment in a lovely area with a private garden. As is mentioned it looks very reminiscent of a garden square in London. In England, a 1000 sq ft one-bedroom apartment would not be considered small and would more than likely have two smaller bedrooms.

    • @TubeTorte
      @TubeTorte Před 11 měsíci +1

      It isn't considered small in the US either. Everything is relative, particularly when it comes to money.

    Oh my, I love this one. The colors are perfectly balanced and beautiful. I cannot take my eyes off that rug, it's fabulous! It looks like moss on the forest floor. I need one of those in my life! The entire space is very serene. I'd probably be content to stay home more if I lived here. OK seriously now....I want that rug!
