Hilary Swank’s New York Apartment as featured in Elle Decor.
Modest in size and surprisingly understated, “I feel comforted in smaller spaces,” the actress says “They’re more nurturing.” I second that.
Hilary has also started to collect art and this wall clad with planks of reclaimed barn wood sets them off beautifully.
Apparently a lot of the furniture is from Calvin Klein Home so it’s not surprising that it’s so tasteful. I love the mirror propped against the wall in the kitchen.
And the very restrained colour scheme.
Can’t you just imagine curling up with a book in this cosy corner?
On a side note, this is the third time in a week I have seen scissors used as decoration…I must investigate further…

Loving the the reclaimed planks on the wall!
I love the sophisticated elegance, stylish furinture and subdued colour palette. I’d love to come home to this appartment. Not sure I’d class it a ‘small’ though!
Love the reading corner!
Love the wall clad with planks – looks fantastic in a contemporary setting…

I love the plank wall with the art on. Definitely one to note for the current trends of utilitarian, solid, honest materials.
I love the reclaimed wood wall and the colourful oversized art but I’m sorry to say I think the rest of it looks a bit executive serviced apartment. Oh, minus the bedroom, that looks slightly more quirky. Sorry Hilary Swank !
Very beautiful, but doesn’t look very lived in, ie messy like mine
I can imagine it is very restful coming back here, my husband would love it x
