I have lived in a variety of spaces over the years. I also have a rather eclectic taste in decor. My mentor once took me to the Los Angeles Design Center and when we walked out the door (after hours inside) she looked at me and said I was a designer’s dream because I liked almost everything. <shrug> She wasn’t wrong.
I was raised by a mom who understood the use of color, texture, and light. She, who had no formal training, could put a room or house together in a way that looked easy but I know she put a lot of time and thought into her rooms. Needless to say I not only learned a lot from her but I ‘caught the bug’ and learned to love learning about home design.
Recently I came across the following video from Homeworthy on YouTube and couldn’t resist. My home is a little over twice the size of this home.
I love the colors she chose. I love the patterns, too. The use of space is amazing. I admire the way she took a chance and created spaces using furniture and paint.
Small homes are not for everyone. I happen to have a cozy home where space and storage are minimal requiring some creative thinking.
This apartment is one of the more creative homes I’ve seen in a while. The beauty of the design is you don’t notice just how much, or how little, space there is.
Would you attempt a design like this?
