What’s the best way for young people in NYC to design their apartments on a budget?
Young designers are lucky because the zeitgeist says that over-the-top is out and ingenuity is ALWAYS in and to that end, one can be very inventive about the materials that are used to decorate a home. I never buy a “table cloth,” for example, but I often use a canvas drop cloth from the hardware store as a super chic table covering.

Recently, due to Hurricane Sandy, we had to move the Whitney Museum’s Gala from its planned location on the Pier to the actual Museum. Our creative solution to budgets and time? We “drew” all kinds of designs on the walls of the galleries with painter’s tape. Be open to using materials in ways and for things that they weren’t necessarily intended for and you can make a gorgeous apartment on a budget. Lasso creativity.
