Inside the Eclectic Townhouse of Artist Richard Gillette

Gillette dressed up a pair of Bertoia chairs from Knoll in the living room with black leather cushions and a cashmere throw from Frette. The mixed-media art piece is Gillette’s Upward Thrust.

One side of the living room features a Danish art rug from the 1970s and a pair of vintage Louis XIV–style cane-back chairs with leather upholstery. The smoked-mirror and marble console and the painting are by Richard Gillette.

Across the room, an Empire Revival sofa re-covered in a synthetic horsehair and metallic brocade from Designtex sits beside a red Filikli Tulu rug from Central Anatolia in Turkey.

The dining room features gray flannel carpet tiles from Flor and Benjamin Moore’s Dior Gray on the walls. The vintage ebonized limed-oak table, brightened with bronzing powder, is from the Second Show in Hudson.

In the kitchen, a collection of ceramic lamp bases from the 1960s sits on top of cabinets that Gillette has outlined in black masking tape. The appliances are by GE.

Gillette works from a studio in the basement, where polished concrete floors meet unfinished concrete walls. The vintage metal office desk is from a local barn sale and the desk chair is from Ikea; the small table is from A. I. Friedman.

Among the exotic accents in the guest room are a tribal mask from Malawi and a zebra-print rug from West Elm.

Custom bookcases in the living room are full of art books; collages by Gillette line the walls.

The master bedroom also includes 1940s bedside tables paired with boomerang-shaped marble tops.
