Known for conceiving cozy yet minimalist residential interiors and approachably glamorous restaurants and hotels, Christine Gachot, who heads Gachot Studios with her husband, John, often visits museums and galleries to find interesting color combinations in paintings to produce her own sophisticated decor palettes. Here, she crafts an eclectic living space layered with a striking combination of elegant and whimsical pieces.

“I love how this John Currin painting is very celebratory but eerie at the same time. Amid a very dark moment, everyone is glowing, which is off-putting yet incredibly beautiful”
