In the heart of bustling New York City, E! News correspondent Zanna Roberts Rassi and Milk Makeup co-founder Mazdack Rassi have created a serene oasis for their twin daughters. Seeking a home that felt like a relaxing spa retreat, the couple enlisted the help of Crate & Barrel Design Desk to transform their newly renovated apartment into a tranquil haven.
Embracing a neutral palette, the apartment exudes understated luxury, providing a visual exhale from the city’s hustle and bustle. The space is devoid of bold colors or prints, allowing for a sense of calm to permeate throughout. According to Roberts Rassi, the couple aimed for a space where coming home felt like a peaceful escape.
The living room, a multi-functional hub for the family, serves as a dining area, workspace, homework zone, and hangout spot. Despite its small size, the room needed to cater to various demands. Roberts Rassi’s favorite piece in the room, the Triomphe Marble Square Side Table from Crate & Barrel, strikes a perfect balance between making a statement and maintaining subtlety – a reflection of the couple’s aesthetic preferences.
Moving into the primary bedroom, the design focuses on creating a hotel chic ambiance. Layers of flattering lighting, cozy bedding, and a quiet reading nook come together around the Milano Walnut Wood Upholstered King Bed with Nightstands from Crate & Barrel. The room exudes boutique luxury, with built-in nightstand cubbies and hidden charging ensuring both elegance and functionality.
In the children’s bedrooms, daughters Juno and Rumi, aged 11, had a hand in designing their own spaces. Vibrant pops of color and mix-and-match patterns in muted tones reflect the girls’ personalities while harmonizing with the home’s neutral color scheme. By giving their daughters creative freedom with a designer’s guidance, Roberts Rassi witnessed their confidence, imaginations, and personalities shine – a joyous experience for the family.
In a world where the urban pace can be overwhelming, Zanna Roberts Rassi and Mazdack Rassi have curated a serene sanctuary for their family in the heart of New York City. This tranquil retreat, epitomizing understated luxury, offers a much-needed respite from the chaos of city life.
