Interior designer Alison Jennison crafted a homey space in her Greenpoint townhouse, combining a modern color palette with character-filled furniture and art.

The natural hues of exposed wood beams and red brick walls warm the otherwise cool color scheme — dominated by slate blues and grays. The living room’s white couch echoes the wall color, while the room’s gray ottoman, pillows, and lamps evoke the darker tones of the painted entry.

The original stone fireplace surround had to be stripped of six layers of paint to bring it back to its former glory, Jennison told Lonny.

The living room rug is a vintage Afghan kilim. The curvy design of the Roost Lars Rattan Chair in the bottom left of the photo bridges modernity and comfort.

The kitchen — with its dark cabinets, brass accents, farmhouse sink, and wood chairs — evokes a country modern aesthetic. The cabinets are from IKEA, with doors by Semihandmade. The cabinet paint color is Benjamin Moore‘s Black Knight.

Upstairs, the child’s nursery has dashes of fuchsia and green. The large goose figurine beside the fireplace is actually a vintage Gladys the Goose light. The artwork above the fireplace is by Faile, the dreamcatcher is by Spoke Woven.

The serene master bedroom showcases a feature wall of Strata Study wallpaper by Zak+Fox and Apparatus Studio. The protruding wall and pattern help to visually anchor the bed.

Jennison’s home artfully brings together trendy elements — like bold wallpaper, exposed beams, and a subdued color palette — with more personal, character-filled objects. She’s created an inviting, of-the-moment space that’s far from generic.
