The minimalist, monochromatic decor selected by New York–based interior designer Inson Dubois Wood results in a modern look and Zen-like atmosphere. In the living area, a leather sectional sofa sits atop a silk rug, their off-white and ivory tones lending to the room’s palette. Bronze sconces, a wood bench and plants provide the only break from the colorless motif. Even Mother Nature contributes with a blanket of snow.
