Soul singer John Legend moved to this Manhattan apartment in August 2009. It is done up in different shades of white, using textures and layering to create a luxurious contemporary effect.

The simply furnished bedroom looks spacious and has little ornaments. The view from floor-to-ceiling windows does all the talking.

John Legend and Teigen’s architect Winka Dubbeldam filled the apartment with earth-toned furniture and painted the walls in shades of gray and white. The white leather button sofas stay though.

 
The freestanding bookshelves were custom-made by Brooklyn’s Voos Furniture to show off John Legend’s awards including six Grammy's. The abstract painting is by L.A. artist Jon Pestoni

The "jellyfish" Barlas Baylar–designed chain-mesh chandelier was chosen by their architect to give the space an “airy, floaty feeling.” The contemporary dining-room table is by Antonio Citterio for Maxalto; the chairs are from Tacchini Italia.
