BOLD COLOR IN A SMALL APARTMENT

Studio apartment living isn’t something I particularly miss about New York but I still love to share decorating inspiration for small spaces. This one bedroom apartment in Manhattan is bursting with bright colors and pretty patterns — I imagine it would be such a cheerful place to come home to everyday! Interior designer Elizabeth Pyne stuck to a predominantly blue palette and I love all the white bamboo accents. It really feels more Palm Beach than New York City… never a bad thing in my book.

Matching the curtains to the headboard is an easy trick to tie a small space together and I love that she painted the backs of her bookshelves for an unexpected pop of color. Here are a few similar pieces to help you achieve a similar look:
