Designing a small space provides a challenges you wouldn’t normally have when dealing with a larger space. Each furniture piece has to be perfect and fit perfectly together, which is easier said than done. This 594 square foot apartment was a wonderful challenge for our custom furniture and design skills.
Each furniture piece was carefully selected and when we couldn’t find the right one, we made it. First, we had to repaint the apartment. We wanted to do a contemporary paint job to play interesting with all the authentic antiques. We love how it came out like a Mondrian painting.
The biggest challenge we encountered was the length of the “Bedroom” nook, pictured here. So we designed and constructed a custom bed, which measured less than a queen size. The bed was special because it was made out of gorgeous walnut to go with the antique walnut cupboard (left). It was also super functional because it had two drawers for storage as well as a bed underneath that slides out on castors for our client’s son to spend the night on when he visits.
The next challenge was hiding the bedroom nook. Our clients love to entertain, but they didn’t want their friends to always see their bed so we made these fabulous custom draperies to hide the bed. And, just in case they did want to leave the draperies open, we made them some fab custom bedding to match.
