Victoria, a successful attorney, and Jack, a doctor, hired Antoinette Allande Anderson, principal designer at Antoinette Allande Interiors, to decorate their Jersey City Heights, New Jersey house, which they share with their two dogs, Coco and Ember.

“Working with my clients Victoria and Jack on their home has been so much fun!” begins Anderson. “They are so open-minded and really love bold statements. Creative and bold interiors are our jam! So naturally we are a perfect fit.”

Anderson explains that the homeowners’ decor style is “eclectic with an eye to contemporary.” And she explains that some of the key elements she tried to highlight in the home were coziness and a lot of layering of art, contemporary furnishings, vintage elements, color, and patterns. More is more in this Jersey City Heights’ space.

“My clients were my inspiration,” Anderson writes. “As first-time homeowners they craved a bespoke and well-designed home. Victoria and Jack are attracted to many different styles being exotic, romantic, bohemian, mid-century modern. I felt inspired to create a big mix of exciting elements!”
