Name: Emily
Location: Upper East Side, NYC

My petite 325 square foot one-bedroom New York City rental feels not only cozy and personal, but like a strategic use of space. While I share this apartment with my boyfriend and cat, it also must serve as my home office for my interior design and decorating business.

I’ve made it my priority to make the space not only functional for my needs and aesthetically pleasing, but truly distinctive. I love working from and being at home because the space truly feels like a representation of us: collected, colorful, and warm while not being too precious.

Thanks, Emily!
