Interior Design | New York | Manhattan | NYC

Interior Design New York - Interior Design is all around us. Where is there not a fusion of art forms to represent an individual’s interpretation of life in their immediate surroundings? Since New York is a microcosm of the world, It is a melting Pot and embraces a myriad of cultures and influences. What does that really mean I hear you ask? Well, it means that Interior Design in New York is very much like NY; You make and break the rules, what are rules anyway? Styles can be mixed as you wish Every departure is a new creative opportunity Interiors are varied and diverse.

Interior Design Manhattan - The word "Manhattan" has been translated as "island of many hills" from the Lenape language. The Lenape Indians themselves gave a slightly different, inaccurate account of the name to Moravian missionary John Heckewelder: They called it Manahachtanienk, which in the Delaware language, means "the island where we all became intoxicated." Some neighborhoods, such as SoHo, are commercial in nature and known for upscale shopping. Others, such as Greenwich Village, the Lower East Side, Alphabet City and the East Village, have long been associated with the "Bohemian" subculture. Chelsea is a neighborhood with a large gay population, and also recently a center of New York's art industry and nightlife. Washington Heights is a vibrant neighborhood of immigrants from the Dominican Republic. Manhattan's Chinatown has a dense population of people of Chinese descent. The Upper West Side is often characterized as more intellectual and creative, in contrast to the old money and conservative values of the Upper East Side. Manhattan's many neighborhoods are not named according to any particular convention. Some are geographical (the Upper East Side), or ethnically descriptive (Chinatown). Others are acronyms, such as TriBeCa (for "TRIangle BElow CAnal Street") or SoHo ("SOuth of HOuston"), or the far more recent vintage NoLIta ("NOrth of Little ITaly"). Harlem is a name from the Dutch colonial era after Haarlem, a city in the Netherlands. Alphabet City comprises Avenues A, B, C and D, to which its name refers. In Manhattan, uptown means north (more precisely north-northeast, which is the direction in which the island and its street grid system is oriented) and downtown means south (south-southwest). This usage differs from that of most American cities, where downtown refers to the central business district. Manhattan has two central business districts, the Financial District at the southern tip of the island, and Midtown Manhattan. The term uptown also refers to the northern part of Manhattan (generally speaking, above 59th Street) and downtown to the southern portion (typically below 14th Street), with Midtown covering the area in between, though definitions can be rather fluid depending on the situation. Fifth Avenue roughly bisects Manhattan Island and acts as the demarcation line for east/west designations (e.g., East 27th Street, West 42nd Street); street addresses start at Fifth Avenue and increase heading away from Fifth Avenue, at a rate of 100 per block in most places. South of Waverly Place in Manhattan, Fifth Avenue terminates and Broadway becomes the east/west demarcation line. Though the grid does start with 1st Street, just north of Houston Street, the grid does not fully take hold until north of 14th Street, where nearly all east-west streets are numerically identified, which increase from south to north to 220th Street, the highest numbered street on the island.

Interior Design NYC - NYC Interior design hinges on the backbone of good architecture, providing the icing on the cake to structurally and functionally well proportioned spaces. The interior design styles, like the buildings in New York are diverse, unusual, and sometimes even illogical. However, the marrying of different styles, have over the years added to the charm, and boldness in gentrification of the city. Nothing is out of place, nothing is too ancient, too modern, too old, to new, too quaint too staid, it’s all just plain too New York!
