finishes and textures throughout the space, Natalie
imparts, "Layering elements such as glass, wood,
fabrics, and metals can help ensure that your small
space doesn’t feel too cluttered or busy."
Alongside the lighting fixture, space-enhancing
and space-saving measures have been utilized
throughout the space. One example is the pristine
armless sectional located at the cusp of the second
bedroom, meant to open up traffic flow from the
living area. Another is the transparent glass console
table against the window in the second bedroom,
intended to keep the space feeling large while not
blocking the beautiful view. In the master bedroom,
the queen bed accommodates storage for bedding
and towels, in lieu of closet space.
In keeping with the clients' design goal to create
an elegant and modern condo space with luxury
elements and furnishings, they splurged on a classic
Saarinen dining table, tulip chairs, and a chandelier.
Natalie brings the living area together via the
predominately light color scheme, which extends
from the walls to the furnishings, the lighting fixtures,
and the ripple-fold drapery in the master bedroom.
"The client wanted the space to feel light and classic."
Maximizing a small space is no easy feat, but Natalie
approached the project armed with strategy and
know-how born from fifteen years in the industry.
"When designing small spaces, it is very important
to break down how you operate in the space and
what elements you actually need each day – that will
allow you to prioritize furniture pieces and dictate
spatial planning."
