Beige doesn’t have to be boring. Neither does brown, gray, or cream. Using a range of neutral hues with just a few color accents, interior designer Purvi Padia crafted a look that is as eye-catching as it is refined in this four-bedroom Tribeca loft. “I don’t use a ton of color, in the traditional sense, in my designs” Padia says. “I want points of interest to come from shapes, materials, finishes, and textures.” Comfortable furnishings and understated but elegant custom accents and antiques give this loft a lived-in feeling that is anything but basic.
