New Development Condominium in Harlem

Summary of Project

Due to the lack of space in Manhattan, many new developments in the city feature small and boxy layouts. This poses a challenge for many New Yorkers to create an inviting sanctuary to come home to after a long day of working and battling the congested streets and subways of the city. For this 650 square foot condo, we painted accent walls in every room and added curtains to every window. To add further dimension, we selected eclectic furnishings and accessories that were plush in texture and rich in color. Electronic devices were minimized by storing the flat screen TV in a Chinese armoire and buying a tablet computer with wireless keyboard and mouse to fit in seamlessly with the kitchen appliances. The kitchen and bathroom had beautiful fixtures but looked bland and needed some punch. We painted the door of the washer/dryer closet a dark brown with white accent lines and added a brown accent wall with Asian art hangings to the bathroom. Finally, since these types of condos rarely have foyers, we placed a rug in the kitchen area to create the illusion of a hallway.
