If you have even the slightest hint of a bohemian style, you may have spent hours drooling over the patterned, textured furniture and decor delights offered up by Anthropologie. (Or is that just me?) Lady Soule is Executive Design Director at Anthropologie, and the awesome space in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood doesn’t disappoint.
Though packed with fun textures and textiles (and color and pattern) there’s also an airiness to the entire home. A hint of Scandinavian style permeates throughout (helped by the “White Room,” a lounge area with its floors painted white). And while it’s a large home square feet-wise, every room has a book you’d want to nestle into—Lady is an expert at coziness.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: Eclectic, haphazard, optimistic
Inspiration: Travel, Morocco, flea markets
Favorite Element: Bright yellow built-in bookcase
Biggest Challenge: Committing to real furniture. It makes me very nervous because I change my mind frequently!
What Friends Say: Cozy, bright, traveled. They love that everything has a story. There’s also usually a lot of buzz over my plant collection!
Biggest Embarrassment: Black bathroom
Proudest DIY: Painting our hardwood floors white.
Biggest Indulgence: Anthropologie dining room table
Best Advice: Live in the place to really learn about the space before you start decorating.
Dream Sources: Patricia Larsen—She has amazing taste and is very minimal which I long to be, but most certainly am not.
