I am asked many times over the secret in creating quirky interiors. There are no fast and hard rules as such its more about taking each properties bone structure into consideration and then creating a heady mix that is elegant, a tad boho and more than anything unique. I truly believe you can furnish a space inexpensively my trick is to offset everything against walls floors and ceilings that look like they have been wrapped in velvet, that are so dark and deep they take your breath away.The apartment below belongs to Federico de Vera and his partner Randy Saunders. If this wall had been painted a neutral you wouldn’t get the same effect as it allows the paintings and furniture to shine. Although the art looks like its just been causally nudged into place I am sure the installation took yonks and yet is doesn’t look and feel cluttered. The key is to tell a story – you are creating a narrative.
love all those pics on that delicious wall! xx
I really love the dark wall look, like you, I do. But I am about to move into an apartment that doesn’t get much light (only one window in the living room/dining room/kitchen and another in the separate bedroom), and I am thinking I should paint the walls light to maximize the feel of both light and space. The apt is only about 39 square meters in total, and there is not much of a view out the windows, as they look straight onto the walls of another building. If I may be so bold as to ask your opinion, what do you think I should do? I mean about the walls and also if you have any general advice.
