Interiors: Todd Alexander Romano's Unrestrained Glamour

Todd Alexander Romano leaves the eyes with little place to rest in his over-the-top New York City apartment. The home is layered wall to wall with furniture, art, and objects of multiple periods and styles. Labeling his tastes "highly schizophrenic," it seems Romano’s rules of design are to simply ignore the rules.

There's a consistent use of high shine throughout the space, from the green lacquered entry to the glossy master bedroom. Equally fearless is Romano's bold use of color on the walls or through pops of upholstery. I love this combination of yellow and blue in the kitchen.

Perhaps Elle Décor put it best:

"Indeed, he is that rare decorator whose work defies tidy definition, and nowhere is his innate talent for mashing up different periods and styles better executed than in his own Manhattan apartment."

Though primarily a self-taught decorator, Desiré studied at The Art Institute, where she honed a distinct aesthetic largely influenced by the Modern Glamour movement, the theme of her popular design blog, Sukio. Not only is she considered a "closet fashionista," discreetly stashing handbags and shoes whenever possible, but, as an MIT graduate, she’s also an undercover nerd. Fashion, nerdom, and several years as a Washingtonian have combined to shape her unique perspective on interior design.
