I would like help decorating an 80's and 90's studio loft apartment?
Comments (1)it's a very general question..)) can you be a bit more specific? share some pic? tell us a bit more about your style preferences/needs? otherwise would be like me asking "what should I wear to the dinner tomorrow?"-and no one ever saw me, doesn't know my wardrobe, has no idea what is the restaurant and where, and what's the occasion and what's the weather and who will be there besides me.....See MoreHelp with narrow bedroom in loft style apartment
Comments (3)The best you can do is to center the bed on its wall. I assume the door on the left goes to a walk-through closet to the bath so I would try the dresser there. Use some matching bedside tables that arrive at mattress height and with a lamp, the overall measurement should be 58-64" above the floor. As for the big blank wall, try some Indian shops for a bolt of exotic fabric to compliment your bedding. You can hang it on the wall. If it is cheap and long enough you might buy the whole bolt and actually drape it over the wall to hang in both rooms. You could opt for fabric behind the bed instead, if you find something else to hang on the big wall. Fabric will help with sound issues since you have a lot of hard surfaces. Consider anchoring the bed with an area rug slipped under the bottom 1/3 of it. Its more trouble, but have you considered painting the bed in a color from the spread or in a charcoal or black like the windows/floor? The white is kind of bland with your spread and if you go to more exotic fabrics the bed will need some spice to hold its own....See MoreSmall NYC apartment - Need Decor Help
Comments (23)I agree with Flo. NYC apartments are usually space challenged, and yours seems true to form. I’m trying to figure out the relationship between couch and desk and hall. Your art over the sofa should cover 2/3 - 3/4 the sofa width and hang 5 - 8 inches above. I’d do a square or portrait format canvas or print over the desk. If you want a bit of bling there, try Great Big Canvas’s metallic art: https://www.greatbigcanvas.com/category/art-by-color/metallic-wall-art/gold/?pagesize=90...See MoreI need help in my loft space.
Comments (26)Hello Nicole, You have so many wonderful suggestions to choose from. The IKEA one is right on. They are Scandinavian indeed. A blank canvas can be daunting but also a lot of fun because you can do anything you like. Here are our questions: How many people will be using the room daily? How many guests will you want to accommodate? Can you give us measurements of the room? You can just draw them out on a piece of paper and post it. That usually works. Can we have pictures of the room with you back to the fake fireplace? Can the fake fireplace be moved to the wall across from the windows? Best Wishes, MAE Day Designs...See MoreDenise Marchand
