I recently introduced you to interior designer
Miles Redd, who I said got his start in the design world decorating his own apartment and those of his friends. You got a glimpse of his portfolio, which is full of cozy, cluttered, and glamorous homes that approach traditional elegance with practicality. Lucky for you, New York Social Diary recently interviewed Redd in his home and shared photos to prove it.

Whether he's designing for interiors, television sets, or as part of a challenge for a show on HGTV, Style, or the DIY Network, designer
Kyle Schuneman remains loyal to his company's slogan: "Be You. Live You. Live Well."
I appreciate how Kyle's designs integrate trendy items into comfortable, livable interiors.

Interior designer Miles Redd got his start working as an assistant to decorator Bunny Williams, and using his own East Village shoe box and friends' apartments as canvases for developing his own particular brand of cozy glamour. In 1998, he opened his own design office in NoHo, creating comfortable, elegant interiors to suit his clients' personalities, opting a practical approach to traditional formality. Ten years later, he's built a diverse portfolio ranging from a Miami Beach condominium to a farmhouse in the South of France, and has been featured in New York, Vogue, House Beautiful, Elle Décor, House & Garden, W, and Country Life, and was an
influence to the bright young mind of Nick Olsen.

It's no surprise that she can make a Chicago high-rise and a country cottage look equally charming: she is rooted in both.
