DREAMING OF HOME Hello, and welcome to the new issue of Safavieh Style. This magazine is a celebration of home, which has never felt more important as a refuge, retreat and family nest. If you’re dreaming of a more beautiful home, we hope these pages inspire you to pursue your dreams. The home on our cover is representative of Safavieh’s recent client projects. Designed in 1893 by Lamb and Rich, the architects of Theodore Roosevelt’s Sagamore Hill, this Gilded Age mansion in Setauket, N.Y., survived largely unchanged for more than a century.

If you’re like me, you’ll find this sundrenched home irresistible. Not all of the homes in this issue are grand. You’ll also tour the new Village Square, a mixeduse development in Glen Cove, N.Y. Safavieh furnished the club-like amenity spaces there, from lobby, to library, to game room, as well as a range of model apartments. The rental units at Village Square are aimed at young professionals, and while each is luxurious, the furnishings are all both moderately priced and relaxed in feel. Renters can easily, quickly and affordably duplicate these model apartments by shopping Safavieh’s extensive, in-stock inventory. We call this retail concept Safavieh Express, and we’re pioneering it in a very focused way at
