Inside our design resident's inviting new upholstery studio.
For years I’ve had very clear ideas around what my dream studio should look like: bright with lots of sunlight, floor-to-ceiling windows, wood-beam ceilings, and plenty of storage space for all the chairs that I find in secondhand and antique shops—and to showcase my work, of course.
Moving back to my hometown Minneapolis last year offered me the opportunity to find exactly that kind of space. But once I found it, the question was: How does one furnish a studio space without breaking the bank, and while also maximizing space and design? Having worked out of three separate studios throughout my career, I have learned a few tricks on what to do—and what not to.
Much like a living room in a home, I know it's where I’ll spend most of my day, so I try to incorporate elements that I love from various living rooms in my studio. Here, I’ve carved out a living area that doubles up as a consultation area for clients—and for me to sketch, write, or thumb through design magazines. I love a space that feels warm and inviting, and there’s no better way to do that than to create a cozy seating area with plush, colorful couches and chairs.
