apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

• 1) White plates against a neutral wall form a simple pattern that goes with just about anything.
• 2) Wall-mounted kitchen tools (hung with an IKEA rack) double as decoration.
• 3) We loved how the Ceramica Cielo booth used an Eames wire-based stool to create some extra storage space under the sink.
• 4) A cutaway shelf from IDEA Group’s booth was perfectly styled with rolled towels, a bathroom radio, and bottles of product. If only our own bathroom looked so good.
• 5) Artfully organized, a small trolley can add storage and style to the bathroom.
• 6) In several of the bathroom booths, upholstered furniture was used to soften the expanse of smooth tile. This orange chair looked great against a beige wall.
• 7) In the kitchen, red and white look crisp. We love the slim countertop, styled to look like an Italian espresso bar.
• 8) A cluster of sculptural hanging lamps is an unexpected addition to the bathroom.
• 9) In the Lea Ceramiche booth, a wall of mismatched tile looked incredible. It would take a brave (and patient) soul to pull it off, but a patchwork tile wall would definitely make your bathroom unique.
• 10) Hands-down, the most creative booth design was this lemon wall, constructed from a grid of boxes that held the real thing. The whole booth smelled like lemons.
