In Sleepy Hollow, New York, designer Joyce Sitterly transformed a stark new-build into a refined and inviting home by incorporating buttery hues, caramel accents, rich textiles, and a neo-classical touch. Her goal was to infuse warmth and personality into the otherwise bland, boxy spaces that lacked emotional depth or distinct character. With no formal brief beyond creating a comfortable environment for the homeowner’s four children, Joyce relied on an instinctive, layered approach to bring a sense of soul and sophistication to the interiors.
