In close collaboration with Nicole Fisher, from The Studio at One Kings Lane, Liu was able to do the seemingly impossible: build a play area that is safe and functional, without disrupting the stylish flow of her New York City apartment. She gave us an exclusive look at the chic play area.

“I had very little furniture in there and it was very sparse, so I wanted to have a cohesive plan where there could be play space and it was safe,” says Liu. “It was also important that it be presentable for adults as well as kids.”
Since the second floor of the apartment has an open plan — connecting the kitchen, living room, and dining room — it was a top priority to make the room a chic extension of the rest of the house. They started by choosing a colour scheme that wouldn’t stray too far from the fun but relaxed atmosphere of the surrounding rooms.
“[Nicole] made it special by toning down the colour and making it more monochromatic, so that the colour that is there pops and feels playful, friendly and warm. It feels more like a home than a wide open space without a name.”
