In 2018, popstar Ariana Grande and comedian Pete Davidson were involved in a whirlwind romance when they began dating in May, got engaged in the weeks following, and moved into a luxurious apartment complex in West Chelsea. The chic space seemed fitting for the public duo as the building was deemed one of the most luxurious in New York City. The property had reportedly been on and off the market since 2015 with an unwavering asking price of $16 million. Since the celebrity couple split in October of 2018, Grande has said “thank u, next” to her former relationship and residence. She has now amassed an impressive real estate portfolio with contemporary mansion in the Hollywood Hills, a $9 million Bird Streets home, and a $6.7 million Montecito estate purchased from Ellen DeGeneres. Recently, the two-time Grammy winning vocalist tied the knot with real estate agent Dalton Gomez in an intimate ceremony at her Montecito home.

Built in the winter of 2017, the New York City apartment complex formerly home to Grande and Davidson was designed by the late renowned architect Dame Zaha Hadid. The lavish custom decor consists of 10-foot-wide motorized windows, 10-foot-high ceilings, distinctive curved glass, and lacquered wall paneling. With 4,023 square feet of living space, Grande’s former unit includes five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The interior layout presents an ultramodern kitchen equipped with double dishwashers, double refrigerators, a wine refrigerator, a steam oven, and a sculptural island with beveled marble. Leading from the contemporary kitchen, the home offers a spacious family room and entertainment area with a bright and airy atmosphere. Stepping outside, the unit also features a 1,361 square foot terrace with picturesque views of the Empire State Building and bustling cityscape below.

The extravagant apartment complex with 39 units presents a lifestyle of privacy and luxury. Additional amenities consist of a skylit swimming pool, fitness center, spa, and the city’s first private IMAX theater. The price of this property also includes two parking spaces worth $700,000 each. Located directly over the High Line in West Chelsea, this lavish residence is mere moments from Hudson River Park as well as a multitude of shopping and dining options in the city’s most coveted neighborhood.

This property was listed with Million Dollar Listing: New York star Steve Gold. The buyer was represented by Phillip Salem of Compass.

Founded by Ori Goldman, the technology-based firm collaborates directly with landlords – a novel approach that allows it to waive any relocation and broker fees on its customers. Focused on serving millennials who take to the internet to find their new homes, Loftey also helps them weed out fake rental listings on popular websites. What is even more astounding, Loftey is able to negotiate lower rent prices or provide free-of-charge moving services.

Interior design trends have reflected the appearance of exotic prints and patterns on the runway in 2013, and we’re here to show you how to make it work in your luxurious abode. Colorful, rich fabrics are popping up in the upholstery of cozy library chairs, headboards, and plush benches, and many are using similarly patterned wallpapers to spruce up a dull room.

Be careful though—it’s easy to overdo it, so pick one or two pieces to keep it classy. If you’re inspired by Pantone’s Emerald trend, consider incorporating a patterned statement piece that features the color to summon a bohemian vibe. If new furniture feels like too big a step, try incorporating an Indian-inspired rug for a pop of color that is easily removed.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to travel lately but you’re craving international flare, use bright, detailed prints for a great statement in any room. Get inspired by faraway destinations with a unique headboard by John Robshaw that nods to classic Indian architecture or silk-hemp wallpapers by Raoul Textiles.
