With floor-to-ceiling windows and a breathtaking view, designer Neal Beckstedt found a way to create a space that is just as sleek as the Manhattan skyline that frames it. The neutral color palette of midcentury furniture mixed with textured accents perfectly complements rather than competes with the room's breathtaking views. Inspired by Beckstedt's luxe design, you can get a look similar to this Upper East Side pad with minimalistic pieces and a few key accessories — with or without the New York skyline.

Add a chair with a sculptural, chrome-plated base like this Seville Leather Chair ($2,699) to keep with the room's contemporary lines.

A neutral rug like this Beni Ourain Rug ($799) adds softness while framing the seating area with a simple, neutral pattern.

A 1950s-style swivel chair like this Copenhagen Chair ($1,795-$1,975) highlights the room's midcentury-modern design.

A natural wood side table similar to this Petrified Wood Table ($1,495) becomes a usable art piece that complements the modern furniture in the room.

Keeping within the white-and-neutral color pallete, a few white pieces like this Cotton Pillow Cover ($26, originally $44) adds texture and softness to the leather couch.

A deep wood side table similar to this Parsons End Table ($199) contrasts the light leather seating perfectly.

These Cotton Canvas Window Panels ($24-$39) are similar to the ones found in the sleek Upper East Side apartment, allowing just the right amount of light to keep the room bright and airy.

A Desmond Screen ($1,500) can be used as art without blocking the panoramic Manhattan view.

Minimalist decor accents in earthy tones and textures like this Mayon Vase ($13, originally $33) accent the room's coffee table.

A marble coffee table similar to this Minimalista Coffee Table ($499) displays accessories and keeps with the room's simplistic design.
