In the competitive world of luxury hospitality design, every detail matters. At New York Custom Interior Millwork, we don’t just create spaces—we craft experiences that leave lasting impressions. Our recent project at a prestigious NoMad hotel perfectly illustrates how custom millwork can completely transform an interior, turning ordinary spaces into extraordinary destinations.
The Art of Hospitality Design: More Than Just Furniture
When we first approached the library and lounge area of this Manhattan hotel, we saw more than just a room. We saw an opportunity to create a sophisticated sanctuary that would captivate guests and redefine their expectations of hotel interior design.
Custom Millwork: The Cornerstone of Luxury Interiors
Our signature approach combines meticulous craftsmanship with innovative design solutions. In this project, we focused on several key elements that would elevate the entire space:
Custom Built-In Bookcase Shelving: A stunning focal point that seamlessly wraps around the room and fireplace
Integrated Lighting: Strategically placed to highlight architectural details and create ambient warmth
Exquisite Custom Metal Elements: Adding depth, texture, and a touch of industrial sophistication
Catalyzed Blue Lacquer Finish: A bold color choice that transforms the entire aesthetic
Breaking Down the Design: A Technical Marvel
The Bookshelf: More Than Meets the Eye
Our custom bookshelf is a testament to precision engineering and artistic vision. Crafted to wrap around the entire room, it does more than store books—it tells a story. The catalyzed blue lacquer finish isn’t just a color choice; it’s a statement of elegance and modernity.
Key design considerations included:
Precise measurements to ensure perfect integration with the room’s architecture
Custom metal detailing that adds visual interest and structural integrity
Integrated lighting that creates depth and highlights the shelving’s unique design
Fireplace Surround: Where Stone Meets Craftsmanship
Adjacent to the bookshelf, the stone fireplace surround became another canvas for our design expertise. By carefully selecting materials and creating a harmonious relationship between the millwork and stone, we created a focal point that draws the eye and invites relaxation.
The Ceiling: A Masterpiece of Geometric Precision
Perhaps the most breathtaking element of this project is the custom coffered ceiling. Enhanced with strategically placed mirrors, the ceiling creates an optical illusion that expands the space and adds a sense of dramatic luxury.
Technical Specifications of the Coffered Ceiling:
Precise geometric patterns
Mirror integration for visual depth
Carefully calculated lighting to maximize the reflective effect
