The lady above is Iris Barrel Apfel. She was a big deal in the interior design world, reaching a point of fame for it. She has even worked on designs in the White House. She’s also something of a textile tycoon. Much of her career was spent running a company that specialized in restoration. So Architectural Digest gave us a look inside her hyper-stylish eclectic interior New York City apartment.
Her apartment boasts an eclectic taste for lavish fabric styles. Large-scale floral fabrics, abstract patterns, and bold-colored velvet all sit within the same room. To complement her eclectic interior, she has a very busy décor style. The style features bright flowers, classic art, old-fashioned metal picture frames, floral-themed rugs, antique lamps, and distressed wooden pieces like dressers.
If you’re looking to try a style like this one, you’ll want to aim for eclectic art and furniture styles. That will help the different fabric textures seem like they belong together.
