A charming apartment in New York has been completely renovated and given a masculine new look, with fashionable black and red color accents. Designer Jamie Alexander kept the dark palette from feeling cold, creating an interior that remains warm and welcoming.
Small apartment with a stylish interior
Jamie Alexander bought a small loft apartment that had once been part of a gun factory where ammunition was made for the First and Second World Wars. Today, it is the new home of two friends. To give the small apartment a unified look, the interior designer chose a neutral palette with red, beige, and gray as the background, accented by dark tones, black, and shades of white. Furniture with clean lines and 19th-century style complements the overall look. The fireplace was in poor condition, so the designer simply painted it black and otherwise changed very little.
Small apartment in New York with clever storage ideas
The small apartment offers much more than chic decorating ideas: the designer used his creativity to make the most of every inch. The old U-shaped kitchen was replaced by a new galley-style kitchen. To keep the worktop free, small kitchen appliances were built in, and a sliding cutting board provides extra work space. Red kitchen utensils add decorative accents. Original storage ideas appear throughout the home: in the hallway, in the kitchen, and even in the bedroom, where a cabinet holds not only clothes but also the television. A large wall mirror makes the room appear wider.
