"My Herman Miller pendant is on the floor, my egregiously large book collection takes up significant real estate along the baseboards. My art is unhung, slanted against the wall. I read something recently on the importance of distributing weight throughout your design. Furniture needs space. The floor needs to be a floor. Thus I've invested in shelves, particularly these from Frama which are the best looking ones on the market, in my opinion."
"I'm staunchly against using the big light at homeparticularly because the overhead LED recessed lights in my apartment have a brightness level that feels like being caught in a camera flashinstead craving the coziness of assorted smaller light sources. The current assemblage of floor and table lamps in my space are far from curated and leave it feeling dim (and not in an intentional way). This year, I want to create a more harmonious lightscape: utilising sculptural shades to bring visual interest,"
A housing crisis produced three moves over 14 months, leaving a pendant on the floor, an oversized book collection along baseboards, and unhung art slanted against walls. Emphasis on distributing weight in design led to investing in shelves, including Frama units, and choosing furniture that respects negative space such as Wassily Chairs. A magazine rack organizes accumulated ephemera, and thoughtful framing motivates hanging artwork. Overhead LED recessed lights feel harsh, prompting a preference for multiple smaller light sources. Plans include sculptural shades, wall sconces for a reading nook, and possibly a pendant to create a harmonious, intentional lightscape.
