Imagine a colorful and contemporary home in the heart of Downtown Hoboken. It’s entirely possible, as Joanne Laurie can attest.
We had so much fun admiring this contemporary and colorful brownstone renovation by Joanne of J Laurie Designs LLC. Her color palette skews more neutral, but these clients love color, so she had fun playing with different hues, textures and alternating between high and low details. “We wanted comfort and color, but it’s an open concept, so a lot of color came from rugs rather than splashing on the walls.”

A DESTINATION HOTEL-FEEL BEDROOM
A plush upholstered wall and a glam dressing room offer ultimate lux relaxation.
STYLISH HOME OFFICE
The tropical monochromatic wallpaper brings out the black chair and makes the green couch pop.
MODERN DINING
The modern aesthetic is softened with artwork, dried florals and a delicate, organic chandelier.
SOFT SEATING (left)
There’s a throughline in the shape of the seating, but it was all chosen for comfort.
A CONTEMPORARY ATOMIC 50’s KITCHEN (right)
The stools’ rounded backs match the island, while the light fixtures and finishes tie the contemporary approach to retro.
