As they proved in their living room room at this year’s Kips Bay Showhouse, Alexandra Pappas and Tatyana Miron of Pappas Miron have a knack for infusing tradition with freshness and exuberant color. In an Upper East Side prewar apartment for a young family with two boys, the duo created vibrant, luxurious rooms that work for both grand occasions and everyday relaxation.
