## Caption

Interior designer Peter Dolkas takes us inside his Brooklyn apartment…or as he puts it, his laboratory.  Because the apartment was turn-key, requiring no renovations, and the kitchen a sleek wall of slate blue cabinets, he knew the open floor plan would be a thrill to decorate. He decided to cover the varied upholstery pieces in the main living area in all the same fabric – a decorating trick he borrowed from the classic English country house playbook.  Dolkas put his own spin on the decorating tradition by using a solid fabric instead of a pattern - transforming the main living space into a simple and meditative cocoon— something he yearns for after spending the day working with a wide range of materials and prints.  Drawing inspiration from Donald Judd’s live and workspace in NYC, Dolkas’s primary bedroom is spartanly furnished with a platform bed, a single mahogany Chippendale reproduction chair covered in a solid brushed wool, and simple, Shaker-like panel shutters.  However, he adds interest with a bold and graphic checkboard quilt he commissioned and that was inspired by one of Anni Albers iconic rug designs. Dolkas used solid colors and spare furnishings to create different moods throughout the apartment.
