apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Here's a brief breakdown of how the space works:

• The oversized task lamp, ottoman, rug, and artwork relate to one another and set a consistent sense of scale in the living room.
• Smaller objects (like throw pillows, an ottoman tray, and a table lamp) break up the dominance of big furniture.
• The apartment's artwork plays with the idea of using the grid to create something big from a something small.
• A stripe around the top of the room subtly enhances the high ceilings, while drapes hung just below the stripe reinforce its importance as an architectural detail.
• Oversized pendant lamps set an eccentric, not-too-serious tone in the dining room. The curvy, rolling armchairs have the same sense of humor.
• A well-organized bookshelf grid balances the playfulness of the dining set.
• A huge curtained, four-poster bed feels like its own room.
• Lots of breathing space between furniture keeps the large-scale pieces from feeling overwhelming.
