When Tyler King set about decorating his 2,300-square-foot corner unit at Four Seasons Private Residences Nashville, he knew he wanted his stunning surroundings to be the star of the show.
“I’ve always been inspired by views,” he says. “The location and scenery this condo provides does not come up short on that spectrum. You have unobstructed views of downtown, the Cumberland River, and all the city skyscrapers looking down Demonbreun. It’s fun looking out and seeing the hustle and bustle of Broadway or catching a sunset hitting the river. Being perched above the city action and architecture while enjoying the tranquility of home makes for some awe-inspiring panoramas.”
Awe-inspiring, indeed. With floor-to-ceiling windows enveloping the condo, it’s easy to see why King fell in love with the two-bedroom condo. And why the Co-Founder and Co- CEO of Quiet Capital was inspired to make it distinctly his own.
“I’ve designed my last three homes and my aesthetic continues to evolve,” he says. “With this space I wanted something a bit more ‘elegant- masculine’ and sleek.”
King first selected the paint color, Beetle Black by Farrow & Ball, which can be found throughout the home. With the abundance of natural light in the space, the dark walls feel anything but dreary. “The darker paint really sets off the vibe I was going for at night with the curated mood lighting and the city lights.” Those city lights are matched by an illuminating focal point: a 250-pound circular chandelier adorned with 820 crystals that hangs high above the living area. Not only does the piece give the room a megawatt glow, it’s also a perfect complement to the Anthracite porcelain entertainment center. The moody stone carries into other parts of the home, including the wall behind King’s pièce de résistance: a glass encased wine room.
“Anyone who knows me knows my love for wine, so I was determined to have that as part of the layout,” he says. “After drawing out my ideas, and some inspiring trips to wineries in Napa, I was able to demo an existing coat closet in the living room and make it a glass wine cellar. The display racks, the porcelain back wall, and the moody lighting make for a sleek and alluring piece that is a rarity in the building.”
And it’s a building that truly offers residents everything they could dream of. Not only is the Four Seasons an ideal way to enjoy the most walkable part of Nashville, it also has a spa, fitness center, and concierge service—including 24-hour room service. For King, it’s home sweet home on high, and he couldn’t be happier with the place.
“I love that when you walk in the primary bedroom, you can see the iconic Batman Building and the river,” he says. “I had a custom headboard made that spans wall-to-wall and backlit the entire thing, showcasing the Phillip Jeffries wallcovering behind it. It has a unique texture and design breaking up just a dark, painted room.” “Part of the primary suite is the custom walk- in closet,” he adds. “It was originally designed to be two separate rooms, but I tore down the dividing wall and created one grand blank canvas offering plenty of storage space. Also, you can’t forget about the soaking tub in the primary bath overlooking the river!”
King says decorating the space took about a year, which coincided with some construction delays in the building. But it’s nothing this real estate vet couldn’t handle. “I’ve got a background in construction and design, so though it took a while, it was fun—and frustrating—working on a special project like this,” he says.
A special project, indeed. While preparing to move into the space, he found a keepsake that proved his new home was meant to be.
“I was packing up my previous home, and I came across an old newspaper clipping I had cut out when this Four Seasons property was first announced from three years prior,” he says. “I knew from the get-go that I wanted to experience what this building had to offer and make it my own. It’s a satisfying feeling sipping a cocktail overlooking the city and seeing it all come to fruition. Cheers to that, and cheers to these views that never get old!”
