Tunde OyeneyinTunde Oyeneyin in her Brooklyn living room.For Peloton instructor, motivational speaker, and New York Times bestselling author, Tunde Oyeneyin, rest and recovery are essentialboth on and off the bike. As an athlete who spends a majority of her time on the move, Oyeneyin needed a space where she could unwind after a physically taxing day. In her case, that is almost every day of the week.When it came time to design her Fort Greene brownstone with Havenlys lead designer, Kelsey Fischer, Oyeneyin kept this ideal at the top of her wish list. My job is physically demanding whether Im on a bike, on the mat lifting weights, or on a red-eye. I wanted my space to feel comfortable and relaxing, she says. I wanted to create an atmosphere that would allow me to put my feet up after a long day.Fischer channeled this desire into deep tones and luxe accents in the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home that Oyeneyin shares with her pup, Cesar. She and I spent a lot of time making very curated selections that served both the function and style she was looking for, says Fischer. Ultimately a mix of modern and traditional elements, grounded in neutrals with pops of organic texture, hints of glam, and some nods to her love of bold color.Related StoriesThis newly revamped space, once a candy factory and auto garage, now serves as an oasis, a tribute to both the dynamic past of the historic building and Oyeneyin's need for relaxation and reflection.Living RoomTunde OyeneyinTunde OyeneyinFischer highlighted the homes structural featuressuch as the arched window and tall ceilingswith a chestnut-colored Crate & Barrel sofa, slate armchairs by Denver Modern, and a vintage chandelier.

I like to lay on the floor and listen to classical music, she says. In addition to being a respite for creativity, it also serves as a place for Oyeneyins guests to sleep over when visiting.We worked together on the library to create a polished and sleek space that could still be used for the Murphy bed and any guests who may come into town, but also as a getaway from the world to enjoy a glass of wine and a good book, shares Fischer.

One of the most striking pieces in my home, outside of the structure itself, is this piece of art called Dinka by Ingrid Baars, Oyeneyin says. I feel like the energy of the entire space revolves around it.Fischer agrees. Tunde was so thoughtful in her artwork curation for these spaces. She has such an eye for what both inspires and stirs her and using that as a connection point in the design was such a game changer.Picture light: Restoration Hardware. Art: Dinka, by Ingrid Baars.
