THE FIRST REAL APARTMENT

In a bright Manhattan apartment teeming with cheerful hues and personal charm, the quiet luxury of Alicia Adams Alpaca finds its rightful place. Among yellow velvet armchairs and walls washed in White Wisp, it’s the softness of an alpaca throw that tempers the exuberance. Draped gently across a Sherrill ottoman or tucked into the folds of a Saarinen banquette, it lends a quiet counterpoint to the room’s youthful confidence. Designer Christina Murphy Pisa balances bold color with refined textures, and the addition of alpaca speaks to this sensibility.

Elevated but never overthought. In the den, where navy grasscloth and burnt orange create a moody cocoon, the presence of an alpaca blanket invites warmth without shouting for attention. It’s the kind of detail that lingers, the kind that elevates a first apartment into a home. For those curating their space with intention, Alicia Adams Alpaca is a masterstroke in texture and timeless ease.
