Interior designer Tara Benet’s work is often featured on lists of ways to create the perfect modern home. The painter-turned-interior designer’s signature minimalist style serves as a jumping-off point for explorations of color and texture, and her choices are always grounded in a space’s available light and views. This is especially true when she is working in glass-box apartments in New York City highrises. Take, for example, the SoHo-style living room featured in this Decoist roundup, to which Benet brought a few pops of color and a variety of rich textures with just a few choice items.
