Living with Art: Sandra Nunnerley, Designer

New York-based designer, Sandra Nunnerley brings art literally into the home – both hers and those of her well-heeled clients. Over the years, her sense of “art de vivre” grew into a style where the traditional meets the modern with easy grace. Her background in architecture and fine arts gives depth to her work, where past and present mingle harmoniously together, transforming spaces that need a soul into veritable art niches that are beautifully chic.
