— The world renowned fashion designer’s home on Round Hill Road in Greenwich.
tone Hill is the eleventh residence that upscale interior designer Cindy Rinfret has decorated for Tommy Hilfiger. The world renowned fashion designer’s home on Round Hill Road in Greenwich stands as an example of true Fairfield County grandeur.

Surrounded by impressive walls and lush linden trees, Stone Hill sits on four acres and holds 20,000 square feet of memories, fashion, originality and art.

Original Warhols are found throughout the house. In the oak-paneled Adirondack Room, one may take in Warhol’s “Buffalo Nickel.” This great room is also two stories high, casual and rustic, with an enormous stone fireplace and antique rug. Leather chairs and stag-horn chandeliers lend mountain-lodge charm.

“Tommy called me late one spring to say he’d bought this house on Round Hill Road,” Rinfret recalls. “He wanted it to be ready for his four children to go to school in the fall. I felt like ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ decorating so fast. Tommy’s got lots of collections and lots of other homes. He collects houses really, and prefers timeless classic with a hint of rock ‘n’ roll. He appreciates understated, tailored decorating with a little bit of edge.”

 
Moving from the wide Belgian-block courtyard through the front doorway into a 30-foot hall, all who enter are in for an aesthetic treat of color, texture and detail. The entry hall is a two-story room of honed limestone with deep-brown stone keys. A brown velvet settee and all-American eagle statue on a round table create dramatic points in a light-filled room, and French doors open to an outdoor terrace. The staircase in the hall is covered with custom wool carpet, suede-bordered and accented by unique nickel stair rods. Lithographs from Hilfiger’s Andy Warhol collection dot the walls up the stairs to a sitting area.
The sitting area at the top of the stairs features limited-edition Andy Warhol lithographs.
After taking advantage of such amenities, visitors and householders alike may savor a meal in the spacious dining room. Confidently eclectic, it boasts chocolate-brown crocodile-embossed tiles from South America that are top-stitched to resemble an Hermes handbag and hand-fitted above wainscoting. Bell-jar lanterns, classic moldings and Chippendale chairs contrast with brightly colored Warhol lithographs. The table has a fluted Ionic-column stone base, a wood plank across it.
This dining room chair was bought by Tommy Hilfiger at auction. The back forms a ‘T’ for Tommy.
A pair of urns in the living room was found by Tommy Hilfiger during European travels. Lanterns in the living room are four feet tall. Textures and materials are playfully, competently mixed.
A Louis Vuitton trunk in the living room doubles as a coffee table. Old and new are competently thrown together here. Pieces hail from around the globe, and varied materials are combined. Camel-colored cashmere curtains and suede throw pillows complement antique leather chairs and a linen sofa, and all are lit naturally; sunlight pours through six windows and a pair of French doors. “The living room is always fresh and never stuffy,” says Rinfret.
Dark-hued woods are prominent throughout. A pine-paneled library offers a feast of textures: linen curtains, leather sofas, oriental rugs and flame-orange Hermes-inspired lamps. Warhol’s “Uncle Sam” hangs above the fireplace in this cozy space.

Hilfiger’s dressing room is also cozy, with its fireplace, pine-paneled walls and comfortable camel leather Barcelona chair.

According to Rinfret, the fashion designer is always on the phone and busy, so there is a leather Parsons desk in the dressing room where he may sit and work when not contemplating his extensive ward robe.

The closet doors open to a clothing rack that circulates all the way up into the attic and back down again, much like those found in dry-cleaning stores, and all of the pieces are arranged by season.

The dressing room also features one of the vintage Louis Vuitton trunks from Hilfiger’s collection. These trunks can be found throughout Stone Hill.

A framed photograph of the Rolling Stones—from Hilfiger’s rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia collection—hangs above the bed in the master suite to ensure that this room remains free of stuffiness. Walls are upholstered with herring-bone cashmere. Slipper chairs are done in leather, bamboo shades are by Charles Edwards, and lamps of nickel were found in London.

The marble master bath, complete with steam shower and spa, is home to a chaise lounge upholstered in terry cloth, and linen with raffia curtains. “The beach and sand imagery is reminiscent of his house in Mustique,” says Rinfret. “He uses this imagery in a lot of his homes.”
The active family enjoys an indoor basketball and squash court, all weather tennis court, infinity-edge swimming pool, exercise room, home theatre, sauna and massage room. On the bottom floor, where the spa areas are located, Hilfiger displays his collection of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia. The massage room has one glass wall and one opaque wall down which water peacefully cascades during treatment time.
As Stone Hill is now on the market for sale, Rinfret will soon be helping Hilfiger decorate a new duplex penthouse in the Plaza Hotel of Manhattan. This home is offered by Sotheby’s International Realty Janet K. Milligan 203-869-4343
