A Small Seattle Apartment Shows How to Fit a “Study” in a Living Room Corner
Name: Shilpa Gopal and husband
Location: Capitol Hill, Seattle
Type of home: Apartment
Size: 700 square feet
Years lived in: 6 months, renting
Tell us a little (or a lot) about your home and the people who live there: I am a healthcare worker and my husband is a consultant. We made a gorgeous study for his work-from-home life in the small space we had. The living room is a great place for me to kick back after a long day of work.
I love neutral colors but making a space warm with things like plants. We rent so we can’t do much changing of the fixtures, so we add plants and cute accents to warm it up.
Describe your home’s style in 5 words or less: Neutral, industrial, rustic, clean
What is your favorite room and why? The living room. I love the furniture and it’s a great cozy place to watch a movie.
What’s the last thing you bought (or found!) for your home? The kitchen island. It’s super functional. We have very minimal counter space and it is super handy.
Any advice for creating a home you love? Make use of every space in your home, especially if it’s small! Take a measuring tape with you everywhere.
