American designer and It girl Erin Fetherston recently welcomed the keen style eyes of www.vogue.com into her New York home where she chatted about her décor style and how her day job influences her living space. We absolutely love Erin’s flair for combining old with new and you can clearly see her design style of whimsy and soft femininity as well as her love of France running through her home. Erin says about her home “I see it as a reflection of my creative universe. It’s romantic and chic, but clean and modern.” Here are a few snaps of her dreamy home with little insights taken from the interview.

When the elevator doors open into Fetherston’s apartment, guests find themselves merrily deposited in the main entrance to the loft. “The doors actually came with the apartment, which was shocking because I would’ve picked them myself.”

 

“This is the room I live in the most,” says Fetherston of her expansive living room, complete with soaring ceilings and oversize windows. “I wanted to balance the forties French vibe I had in my old apartment with pieces that were more modern.”

 

“I like everything to be a little magical, a little whimsical,” the designer says. “So I covered this Holly Hunt candle chandelier with some vintage silk roses.

 

The designer keeps the sketch she received from a friend to thank Fetherston for making her a coat. The hands, however, are a bit more random. “They are moulds to make rubber gloves,she says, laughing. “I like to add surreal touches here and there.

  

On the nesting tables in the living room (found buried at a flea market in Napa Valley), Fetherston piles vintage children’s books as decor.

 

“This apartment has quite a bit of closet space, which was important to me considering what I do,” she says

 

Fetherston displays some of the most important pieces from her past collections on the wall in her closet.

“I wanted this space to be clean, open, and mostly white,” she says of her bedroom. “It helps clear my mind.”

 

Fetherston uses the mezzanine loft in her apartment as office space. “I believe in creative chaos when I am working,” she says of the now-pristine space.
