Comfortable
elegance is the design theme preferred by Greenwich/New York
interior designer Kathi Gernat.
Kathi
Gernat plies her versatile and distinctive style in CT, Westchester,
NYC, and across the country. She was chosen as one of only
50 top designers recently published in Spectacular Homes of
Metro New York, which is now available. Her work can also
be seen in issues of Fairfield County Home.
Kathi’s
work runs the gamut from traditional to contemporary, from
country estates to NYC apartments. Comfortable Elegance seems
to be her mantra as she believes in using and enjoying your
home.
Kathi
believes that defining a specific style is less important
than the overall effect of combining favorite pieces, lovely
fabrics and unique and interesting furnishings and accessories.
As always, the lifestyle and taste of the homeowner provide
the essential element.
With
an acute sense of her client's needs, Kathi and her client
work hand-in-hand so that the design is a reflection of the
client.
When
working with architects and contractors, Kathi feels it is
important to include the interior designer in the process
to ensure that all areas of the project are considered. Her
expertise results in a pleasing experience for everyone involved
and she feels that the journey of the interior design process
should be a positive one.
Examples
of Kathis work grace homes ranging from waterfront estates,
to New York City apartments, to back country cottages. |
