Tag along to Locust Valley, NY as we visit the stylish home of designer Alfredo Paredes. As the former chief creative officer of Ralph Lauren Home, he knows a thing or two about creating enticing spaces. For over three decades he fashioned entire environments, envisioning rooms, restaurants, stores and products that told transportive stories. And here in this leafy Long Island enclave he did the same for himself, transforming his historic house by legendary architect Harrie T. Lindeberg into a chic yet comfortable family home that has a sense of place and yet is supremely personal. See how, working within the original footprint, he renovated the house from the ground up, designing rooms that feel enveloping yet sophisticated. The spaces are anchored in the stunning 1929 architecture, inspired by that East Egg Gatsby era, yet feel totally of our time. Contemporary and comfortable, the house is layered with art and collected objects that have patina and reference the past. Learn how Alfredo collects and displays, always with an eye for the unexpected, the edgy and the high/low mix. Watch to see how texture plays out in his mostly neutral color schemes and see how he let his children express themselves in their charming rooms. And do stay for the fabulous family room - a spectacular vaulted space that encompasses cooking, eating and relaxing. You’ll be inspired, informed and entertained!! See more of Alfredo’s homes in his new book Alfredo Paredes At Home, an intimate collection of the four interiors that he has called home !!
