Peter-Ayers Tarantino’s Manhattan apartment is packed with books and artwork in every direction. It’s chaotic, layered, and unbelievably charming.

A richly layered sitting room lined floor-to-ceiling with bookshelves. A large gilded painting hangs over a white fireplace filled with logs, flanked by sconces and decorative ceramic figures. Stacks of books surround cream-coloured armchairs, a glass coffee table, and bowls of apples. The room feels warm, dense, and lived-in, with patterned rugs and abundant artwork. A cozy sitting room with taupe wall panelling and shelves overflowing with books. A monumental religious painting in a gold frame dominates the wall above a black fireplace. Cream armchairs encircle a glass coffee table perched on stacks of books. More piles of books line the window and flank every seat, creating a snug, library-like atmosphere. A bedroom corner overflowing with tall stacks of books on the floor and used as nightstands. Built-in shelves behind the bed are packed with books, pottery, and framed art. A white bed with patterned pillows sits beside the vertical towers of books, alongside small objects like a lamp, flowers, and a vintage telephone. Another view of the bedroom, showing a fireplace mantel crowded with decorative vases and fresh flowers, backed by a large mirror and framed art. Bookshelves overflow with books on either side, and more floor-to-ceiling stacks rest around a pair of upholstered chairs. The room feels maximalist, warm, and deeply curated.
