You're probably used to seeing talk show host Graham Norton in front of a vibrant, orange and purple background, comfortable in a lounge chair as his guests sit lined up on a red sofa. It turns out that this color scheme makes an appearance in his New York City townhouse, which has just hit the market for $5,595,000 million.
The two bed, one and a half bath, Romanesque Revival-style property was built in 1864, and though it has been lovingly restored over the years, it remains in the National Register of Historic Places.
Maximalism is king here, from the soaring ceilings in the Great Room (15 feet, to be exact) to the bold color choice in the dining nook, making it a fantastic fit for an owner with a big personality. Let's take a closer look.
The master bedroom is elegant and refined, from the gold, art deco-style pendant light to the plush, velvet bed. A large artwork hangs above it, while twin, wood nightstands add an element of nature to the room.
The second bedroom is a color-drenched space, with sea blue dominating a wall, the bed linens, and an ottoman. The eye artwork ties together the accent colors of brown and orange as well as providing a (literal) focal point.
Green is an ever-popular color choice for kitchens, and we are given further proof in this one, which features pistachio-painted cabinets.
A home bar is necessary for an entertainer, and this one features ample shelving, cabinetry, and counter space.
The living room, meanwhile, is bright and airy, with a beautiful blend of colors popping out thanks to a mustard yellow sofa and dark purple accent chair. The gallery wall complements the adjacent floor to ceiling windows, which allow lots of light to stream into the space.
The bathroom makes a strong case for patterned wallpaper, with a blue-mosaic esque print complementing the marbled sink and gold-framed mirror and tap.
The dining area is perhaps one of the highlights of the apartment, with orange paint and chairs infusing the room with bold color. The wood table balances things out, while a pop art print keeps up the vibrancy.

This pink, yellow, green, and red flower pop art could fit well in any room's design or color scheme. With a built-in frame, it looks elevated at an affordable price point.
Orange is in, and we love this chic chair with an elegant silhouette. It would look just as perfect in Graham's house as it would in yours.
To add just a pop of color to your table, these coupes will do the trick. With a retro shape and color scheme, they will give your parties a 1920s vibe that guests will love.
Finally, the rooftop patio provides 360 views of the city, with some greenery surrounding the space (a rarity in the Big Apple).
Graham Norton's townhouse is listed with Chris Kann at Corcoran Group.
