m0851 Guestrooms in Antwerp are run by the Canadian leather goods maker m0851. In the same style as their leather bags and accessories, m0851 has created three small guest rooms with clean, modern sensibilities. The rooms are located right above the m0851 flagship store in Antwerp, adjacent to many of the city's museums. We, of course, saw the rooms for their lessons in small space living...
There are three m0851 guestrooms, each on a different floor. A guest library of DVD's and reading material is located on one stair landing between rooms. The landing offers just enough space for floor-to-ceiling shelves, a lamp, and a small chair. A curtain can be drawn across the shelves to instantly cover clutter.
Larger mirrors are propped up in each guest room, creating the appearance of a doorway into another room.
The beds are floated out in the middle of the rooms, their headboards doing double time as desks.
Another stair landing acts as a gallery space, displaying a gridded grouping of framed charcoal drawings.

I love the idea of that bedframe!

Oh I LOOOOOVE Antwerp! I lived there for 4 years and highly highly recommend a visit if anyone is ever in the area. It often gets overlooked being in between Paris and Amsterdam, and only 30 mins from Brussels, the capital of the EU. But it is such a hidden gem!

That bed/desk is a genius approach to studio living. Why aren't any of the US midpriced design teams like Mash Studios, Blu Dot, or Atlantico doing something like this? It just seems so obvious.

I want to stain my floors this almost black color, but the Minwax ebony isn't even close. Is it paint?
