PROJECT:
My own award-winning apartment!
I moved into this home to start a fresh chapter in my life and design studio. I wanted to embrace joyful colors, luxurious textures, and playful patterns, as well as supporting & showcasing as many other female/LGBTQIA+/BIPOC artists as possible.
Since I work from home, it was important to create dedicated and beautiful spaces for work, rest, and play, along with plenty of clever and sneaky storage.
PRINCIPLES:
We begin every project with a set of principles that come from our client's own words:
-
Art Deco by day…
-
…Art Nouveau by night
-
Fabulous and fantastic fans
-
Banish bare walls
-
Drama in every detail
The key moves here are: highlighting the windows and open city views with full-length drapery and air conditioner covers, embracing one major pattern in each room, using the fan/ginkgo motif in myriad ways, selecting double-duty furnishings, adding all the art the walls could hold, and of course sneaky storage.
