Henderson commissioned this string sculpture from Berlin-based artist Nike
Schroeder. “I chose every color myself and told her to just have fun,” says
Henderson. “It turned out so beautifully and is such a showstopper.”

Flea market treasures and Target accessories—in the designer’s signature palette of blue, white,
and gray—are woven throughout Henderson’s rooms. “It’s the combo of old and new, high and
low that makes a home inviting and interesting to be in,” she says.

After 12 years of renting in New York and Los
Angeles, designer Emily Henderson and her
husband started combing the real estate
listings. They were expecting their first child
and needed a space large enough to suit their
growing family. “I wasn’t looking for anything
move-in ready,” Henderson explains, “because,
let’s face it: I’ve been eager to have my own space
where I can do everything my way for years.”
Soon, the couple stumbled upon “a quirky
midcentury home with good bones”—the
quintessential fixer-upper—with an airy floor
plan and breathtaking views of the city. Given
these advantages, the designer was willing to
look beyond the 1980s finishes, “crackly and
gross” textured walls, and tattered carpeting to
see the structure’s bright potential.
highs and lows Splurge on vintage
pieces. “Mix them with Target items to keep
costs down,” says Henderson.
“The Target fall collections touch on all the
key trends I’m coveting, and they make
fantastic layering items.”
keep it simple When buying major
furniture pieces, seek shapes with clean,
simple lines. And create a blank canvas for
your possessions with crisp white paint. “It’s
best to start simple, and then to add color
like crazy,” Henderson advises.
take risks It can be scary to pull the
trigger on major investment pieces, such as
custom bookcases or wallpaper, but
carefully considered, big-ticket buys often
make the most powerful design statements.
Although Henderson's home didn’t require a
gut renovation, nearly every room received
extensive updates, including the installation of
new tile and hardwood floors. The biggest
transformation, however, occurred in the
kitchen, where new cabinetry, a backsplash of
marble subway tiles with brass edging, and
Caesarstone countertops modernized the
outdated space. Aiming to keep things simple,
the designer coated the whole house in
Benjamin Moore’s Super White while
accessorizing with bright bursts of color. “I love
color,” says Henderson, “but I’ve learned over
the years that it’s smarter to paint the walls
white so that everything else will pop.”
