Name: Grace
Location: Berlin, Germany
Type of Home: shared apartment

Color Inspiration: Necessity! I arrived in Berlin with a nothing but suitcase ,and became the proud resident of an empty,square, white room. I didn't want to end up having the room look like I was squatting an IKEA display, so in the grand tradition of penniless students I hit the flea markets and streets.

Color Inspiration continued: I like keeping the basic furniture very neutral, that way when I get bored, all I have to do is change the bedding and get some flowers, and it's a different look. The room can go from warm neutrals to cool blues and back. Only exception is the armchair which is not very neutral at all — it's rather pumpkin-like but it had me at hello.

Colors Used: renter's white

Color Tip: improvise and break rules!
