T
hough styles come and go, traditional design
has always stayed true in many people's
homes and hearts, including David Santiago,
of Casa Santi Interior Design. Santiago
explained that the design of this beautiful
1,600-square-foot Fort Lee home speaks volumes of his
aesthetic, bringing in some of his favorite elements, from
stripes and wall coverings to the blending of color and tone.
Both Santiago and the homeowner are traditional at heart,
but love contemporary, modern flares, and that is exactly
what went into this home — true traditional design mixed
with a little bit of the unexpected.
Aside from the style of the home, Santiago was particularly
excited about this space because of his friendship with
the homeowner, and the fact that he was re-designing the
space from when he first worked on it 10 years ago. Starting
with the living room, Santiago designed the room around a
few elements that remained, including the floor-to-ceiling
fireplace, the lighting, the color of the sofa, and the meerkat
artwork, which all inspired the color palette.
