A “Standard” Rental Became a Colorful, Tattoo-Inspired Dream
This one-bedroom apartment in Denver was just kind of “standard” before Andres Rincon moved in two years ago. As he describes it, there just wasn’t “much life to it.”
That wouldn’t do for Andres, who claims a passion for design and has worked over the past two years to transform this rental unit into a colorful, cozy space that’s a “true reflection” of his personality.
To create his dream home, he carefully curated paint colors and furniture picks. “I’ve always leaned more toward mid-century modern, but I’ve taken a unique approach to my home, applying different styles in a tasteful way,” he writes of the space that takes visual ideas from mid-century modern, Bauhaus, and postmodern styles.
You’ll see plenty of his interests, which include tattoos, alt/punk music, and skateboarding (along with design, of course), on display in the home. He’s done a great job of reflecting in his interests in the unit, “down to the flash tattoo wall by my desk and hidden music references in my home,” he writes.
His entire space, which he shares with his two dogs, Oso and Benji, is a blueprint for turning a “standard” rental apartment into a modern, personality-packed home.
