When it comes to living in the city, one has to accept also living in small spaces. Designing for small spaces can often times be more challenging than bigger spaces. You have to consider the size and the functionality of the furniture you put in without sacrificing aesthetics and square footage.
Being a city gal like myself, I'm always looking for design inspiration. That's why I'm so attracted to this New York rental apartment designed by The New Design Project. The space is modern yet cozy and functional, which is a definite feat to pull off. The monochrome color palette and blend of refurbished, new and custom-made pieces create a cohesive living space with plenty of personality.
