Gwyneth Paltrow has released photographs of her stunning New York City apartment. Published on her lifestyle website Goop, the photographs demonstrate “the artisanal, bespoke nature of GP’s Tribeca apartment [which] floats above the cobblestone streets like a pale, dreamy cloud,” the website says. “Pastel silks, hand-embroidered wallpapers, and cool swaths of marble punctuate the space, which balances centuries-old techniques and antiques with a confident, breezy modernism.”

Paltrow worked on the Tribeca residence with designers Roman and Williams, who also created the interiors for her Goop pop-up store in Chicago and New York. The firm’s style is traditionally darker, richer and more layered, but the actress and lifestyle entrepreneur convinced them to work with a bright, white palette for the space. “The kitchen is so modern and so special – the marble counter is intense and strong, yet somehow it works as this sensual piece,” says Roman and Williams’ Robin Standefer.

“We wanted to make the foyer this long, great room – what you’d find in a proper English home with that classical round table,” says Standefer. “We played with the idea of levels of public and private.” “We [also] wanted to go with this sort of romantic, playful vibe and Gwyneth thought of this swing where she could sit and relax with her kids. It’s made from this incredible antique Indian door, painted and then topped with silk pillows.”

“Gwyneth saw how we could […] channel this ethereal palette,” Standefer says. “Light delicate whites, palest lavenders, grays, silvers, embroidery details.” The trademark Roman and Williams layering is there, but more subtly: “It’s the classical marble Chesney’s fireplace paired with a Venini light fixture, the hand-painted wallpaper in one room with the hand-embroidered wallpaper in the next, it’s paper and fabrics and flowers. We worked carefully together on the palette and the textures to create the sense of refinement.”
