How to Bring Carrie Bradshaw’s Effortless New York Style Into Your Home
The latest season of And Just Like That has given us plenty to obsess over - the fashion, the friendships, and of course, Carrie Bradshaw’s stunning new home. This Mediterranean-style townhouse in Gramercy Park, styled by set decorator Karin Wiesel Holmes, perfectly blends classic New York elegance with a relaxed boho charm.
Panel Drenching: The Statement Trend
In season three, Carrie gradually transforms what showrunner Michael Patrick King describes as “the most beautiful apartment in New York.” And it’s hard to disagree. This new home marks a shift in Carrie’s design story, moving from her iconic Upper East Side apartment into something more layered, grounded, and grown-up.
One of the biggest talking points of Carrie’s new space is panel drenching, a design detail that’s currently dominating interiors. Unlike her previous trendy Upper East Side apartment, this look feels richer and more architectural, walls and woodwork painted in the same hue to create a cohesive effect.
Panel drenching is a cornerstone of the maximalist movement, adding texture, depth and quiet luxury. But it also works beautifully for minimalist spaces, creating a soft, seamless backdrop that feels calm yet intentional. In Carrie’s case, the off-white panel drenching injects a subtle sophistication, it’s understated but effective, and an easy trend to bring into your own home right now.
The Carrie Bradshaw Aesthetic
Throughout every move - from her rent-controlled brownstone to her chic townhouse - Carrie has kept a signature interior style that’s evolved but never lost its essence. It’s the perfect mix of vintage charm, eclectic finds, and a touch of chaos, what we like to call “aspirational clutter.”
To get the look, embrace eclectic furniture. It’s not about perfection, it’s about finding balance between sophistication and character. Think mismatched chairs, a vintage writing desk, and pieces that feel like they’ve lived a life before you. Carrie’s apartment tells a story through her decor, blending the maximalist cluttered trend with stacks of books, curated trinkets, and of course, her iconic fashion moments on display.
Her writing desk, that now-famous weathered blue table, sits proudly in front of a window, just as it did in her Upper East Side home. It’s the perfect spot for reflection, daydreaming, and the occasional existential monologue about love in the city.
Neutral, But Elevated
Carrie’s new apartment leans into a Mediterranean-inspired aesthetic filled with bright neutrals, soft light, and architectural details. While her old apartment embraced a green colour palette, this new space celebrates warm neutrals and earthy tones.
To recreate the look at home, start with soothing shades like alpine oat, dusty mauve or midnight blue, and layer in bold furniture or statement art for contrast, perhaps a wine-red sofa, sculptural lighting, or abstract wall art to add personality.
For a creative twist, try tonal drenching, sticking to one colour family while playing with different depths and textures. It keeps the palette soft and cohesive while adding flow and dimension.
Channel New York Flair
You can’t capture the Carrie Bradshaw apartment aesthetic without a nod to New York. The secret lies in layering textures, celebrating imperfections, and mixing high with low. Think vintage rugs, wooden floors, and architectural charm - from exposed brick to statement windows.
Sarah Jessica Parker herself praised Holmes’ approach to sourcing for the set: “I love how much Karin found in seriously affordable vintage and consignment shops.” That high-low mix is pure Carrie - luxury handbags on the floor, designer heels by the bed, a thrifted lamp next to a Chanel dress.
It’s proof that great style isn’t about perfection, it’s about personality. Carrie’s home, much like her wardrobe, reflects a life that’s beautifully chaotic, endlessly stylish, and always evolving.
