ARIEL OKIN seems to be everywhere lately. Before founding Ariel Okin Interiors, she was a premier designer with New York-based interior design firm Homepolish.
This particular design project was the one that first caught our eye for its ultra-romantic vibe and wonderful use of trelliage. (Read more about our love of trelliage here.) Created for Holiday House NYC, the idea for the designer’s fourth-floor bedroom of the Upper East Side Townhouse began with the idea of an English rose garden. Okin worked with de Gournay, (another of our favourites), to create a custom trellis pattern that evokes an enchanted indoor garden. The result, of course, is pure romance.
Okin’s other projects include the New York offices for Goop and Maisonette, a full floor apartment at the Four Seasons in Tribeca, two separate three bedroom lofts in Tribeca, a gut renovation of a pre-war Upper East Side three bedroom apartment in a landmarked building, and a penthouse in a Brooklyn new development. She is also a contributing writer for Vogue.com, Architectural Digest and Domino Magazine.
Holiday House NYC is a showhouse founded ten years ago to raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. This year, the house is located at 118 East 76th Street in New York’s Upper East Side, in a neighbourhood of beautiful townhomes. Twenty-three established and rising interior designers are participating, each with their own rooms to decorate. The event is open to the public and runs from October 24th – December 2nd, 2018. You can book tickets here.
