Actress turned director Meg Ryan has a lesser known passion: the world of interiors. Ryan recently completed the renovation of her ninth home - this time with the help of designer Monique Gibson and architect Joel Barkley.
Her sprawling New York loft was once Cindy Sherman's photo studio. Now, light floods through the huge windows and the former darkroom is Ryan's cloakroom.
A neutral colour palette runs throughout the home, with texture and interest added in the way of intricate light hangings, Ryan's collection of art and an eclectic mix of furniture gathered from many vintage stores.
The kitchen area sees an industrial light from a second hand store in Maine illuminate the area, while fabrics by Rogers & Goffigon wrap the living room’s sofas. These are complemented by a Stéphane Parmentier lava-stone stool, a painting of Ryan by John Mellencamp and a Pablo Avilla wire tree sculpture.
The dining room features a striking custom-made bronze table by Maison Gerard, which is surrounded by Bentwood chairs from Lee Calicchio. Overhead hangs a high impact, salvaged lantern and mantel from United House Wrecking.
Through to the monochrome bathroom and a Water Monopoly stand-alone tub sits above a tiled platform. Matching Urban Archaeology vanities are customised with Grigio Carnico marble tops creating a sophisticated space.
