I am literally dying over Derek Blasberg’s UES Manhattan apartment and especially the prominence of the French blue color throughout his elegant but masculine home. Below, a few of my favorite finds for nailing the look:
+Farrow & Ball Cook’s Blue paint — the exact color he’s used in select rooms in his home.
+Blue velvet sectional. Or this, in green velvet, similar to the one in his living room.
+Matouk Cairo towels (I own these ones in the azure blue!)
+Degaulle table lamp (<<so chic and under $150).
+Kohler faucet in gold. Love this clean, modern style.
+French blue upholstered bench.
+Gold inlay room divider. Love the way he’s added dimension to his bedroom by placing one of these against the far wall!
P.S. Some of my favorite interior design books, for when I’m hunting around for inspiration: The Things That Matter, Domino, and Design Sponge. All feature livable but stunning style tricks and treatments.
P.P.S. The best of everything: home edition.
P.P.P.S. More home discoveries.
I, too, died over this apartment when I saw it on Arch Digest! LOVE the playful aspects they infused into such a classic, traditional space.
I have given both the Domino and Design*Sponge books as gifts numerous times — love that you included them here! xo
SO CHIC! I basically want to re-do everything in my apartment. AHH. Mr. Magpie and I were just chatting about reupholstering our couch and I was like — BLUE EVERYTHING!

Absolutely gorgeous in the classic, masculine , beautiful way!
Right?! I’m swooning.
