Style Profile: Robert Stilin

{Hamptons Designer Showhouse 2011: This room illustrates Stilin’s mastery of proportion, texture, and his expert selection of unique lighting, chairs, and art.}

I’ve been familiar with interior designer, Robert Stilin’s name for some time now, but hadn’t delved into his body of work until recently. You see, my “He Said, She Said” partner and friend, Jon Call recently shared how much he admires Stilin’s work which prompted me to seek out his portfolio. I was met with interiors that are not only beautiful, but thoughtfully crafter. The spaces Stilin creates are decidedly modern, yet they exude warmth and a special breed of patina. Not only are these rooms layered with textures, colors, furnishings from various time periods and styles—they are also imbued with personality. I am especially drawn to Stilin’s clever use of interesting lighting and seating as well as his expertly-curated selections of art. Every room is punctuated by remarkable, thought-provoking pieces. Stilin’s approach is fresh, modern, and distinctly American.

{Upper East Side: This room is the embodiment of chic, eclectic style. The room has elements that read as baroque, southwestern, Asian, and modern and they all work together so beautifully thatnks to the color palette and composition created by Stilin.}

{A Detailed View of the Same Living Room from the Previous Picture. I love that the bookshelves extend from the floor to the ceiling. Stacking books horizontally is one of my favorite styling tricks. Stilin plays on the scale of this room perfectly while creating a visually interesting mix of pieces.}
