I can look at a photo and the dimensions of any piece and tell you if it's going to sit well with the four other pieces in your room.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In a modern loft, you can't just fill a space with furniture. Each piece has to be perfect.
If you actually keep things very organized and clutter-free, you can have more furniture than you think you can in a small space.
I used to love a well-arranged room: the furniture, the fabric, the lighting.
I love having beautiful furniture and things, but I don't want my space to look like a showroom.
I'm not an interior decorator; I'm a designer, and that includes the architecture. The package must be strong and controlled, the rooms aligned, and the windows positioned to make sense with the furniture. Fluff it up, and you've got big trouble.
All I really want is a three-room house. The home I have designed at my new farm in Bedford, New York, is a three-room house: bedroom on top, living room in the middle, and kitchen on the ground.
Don't worry about the room being messy! Everything can't be perfect - you have to let some things go, and it's better to actually sit down on the floor with your child than spend time worrying about having a perfect house.
Practical storage pieces are great if you have a basement or a garage. But when you actually live with them day in and day out, they should be beautiful to look at.
I don't have any furniture of mine in my room.
Before you begin designing or buying anything, you need to get real and ask yourself: What do you really want to use this room for? What do you want to do in this room but can't now?
