After buying your dream home, the next step is to furnish and decorate it. In New York, this can be equal parts exciting and daunting. For example, those living in high-rises with floor-to-ceiling windows won't want their furniture to compete with the jaw-dropping views. And while design elements like exposed brick and double-height ceilings can add instant character to a room, they also present their own set of design challenges.
