When the family moved in, there was a surprisingly small amount to be done. “I wallpapered and painted and put in new carpeting and decorated, but I didn’t want to gut renovate,” Lederman says. The majority of the work happened in about six months, which in the design world, where projects can stretch on for years, was relatively quick. Of course, an interior designer’s idea of not having to “do that much” should be taken with a grain of salt—the home’s end result is nothing short of impressive.

Amidst decorating their new home, Lederman also managed to launch a wallpaper and textile line this past March called Three Fates, which can be seen across the apartment’s various spaces. “The collection was born out of a love for travel,” she says, citing Bhutan, Morocco, Japan, and Peru as recent destinations. “Whenever my husband and I visit these historic places, we try to tour old homes, and I’m always taking pictures of interesting patterns and thinking about how I can adapt that into my design practice.” Other inspirations sparked closer to home. “Ideas also came from going to the Met, or seeing some sort of architectural element in New York City that I liked,” she adds.
