People are always asking us “How do you do that?”
They often say “I would never have thought of that!”
Designers are creative and sometimes crazy people, but a lot of times there is a method to our madness. In our latest “How DO You Do That?” we are sharing designer secrets, interior design knowledge and do-it-yourself tricks to make things easier when you are trying to put your own room together.
We made this small, typical apartment space larger with just a few tricks of the trade! In this small space you can see how we used color to warm up the room, contrast and friction to make things more intersting and open, different types of artwork to solve different space problems, varying wood tones, Lucite chairs to fix a tiny dining room and modern track lighting for flexibilty and to save space. 
My favorite techniques for making a room seem larger are architectural. I like to use crown moldings, tall base boards, and ceilings that contrast with wall colors. By drawing the eye to the edges of the room, the room seems more spacious. It also reinforces the sense of structure of the room, and this organizes the space minimizing any sense of clutter. Inexpensive and easy.
Right you are Abby! Thank you for your comments. I love sharing information on design and especially, as you mentioned, the importance of the interior architecture… aka… the backgrounds. That is where every good project starts. Thanks Abby.
