A Creative California Studio Loft

Name: Janelle
Location: Santa Ana, California

I live in an 800 square foot industrial loft in Santa Ana, California. My apartment is located inside of an old spiral staircase factory, and my design studio is just downstairs. I choose to live here because as a creative entrepreneur it offers me flexibility in my daily workflow. Plus I love being surrounded by other artists, there is always someone around to bounce ideas off of.

My studio is filled with all of my favorite things. I try and surround myself with things that make me happy, heck I even have a happy wall! My rugs and plants are some of my favorite things about my studio. Each rug feels like a little world within my space. As a florist by trade, I am always surrounded by living things, plants add life. I’m most proud that I was able to make my studio feel like a home. I was able to section off areas with “walls” to give myself a bedroom, office, and living room. It amazing what you can do with a well planned layout.

Thanks, Janelle!
