The brief

A novelist who wanted a home that felt like a long exhale — warm, lived-in, but not precious. The existing loft was bright, blank, and acoustically harsh.

The approach

Acoustics first. Bouclé, drape, a wall of vintage hardbacks doing double duty as sound absorption. Then color: deep cognac and a single bruise-pink accent so nothing read as gendered or themed.

The outcome

Three reading zones, one writing desk, no formal living room. Photographed for two regional shelter publications.

The transformation

Before → After

Before

Open-plan loft before — white walls, builder-grade kitchen, no defined zones.

After

Bowery loft after — burnt brass kitchen, bouclé reading nook, vintage hardback wall.
