"“[It] started as one large open space, and I used the cubby in the back as a makeshift walk-in closet,” Kiron explains. In the beginning, it felt “open and airy,” but as Kiron settled into his space, he realized the layout needed to fit his lifestyle."
"“I realized I wanted more separation between the main living area and where I slept,” he says. So he “randomly” decided to DIY a wall, separating the bedroom area from the rest of the space. “It became more of a necessity than a design choice,” Kiron says."
"“As a renter, he prioritized making the wall easy to remove - with steel framing and drywall. When that was finished, and the living room side of the wall was complete, he focused on the bedroom.”"
"“I loved the thought of turning it into a cocoon-like sleeping nook,” Kiron explains. “So I moved the bed back there and fully color-drenched the space to make it feel intimate and ideal for rest.” Because the ceilings were quite high, it was a time-consuming workout for Kiron to paint everything Behr's Midnight Blue."
A bed was placed in a former NYC loft closet to solve a layout problem, using the back cubby as a makeshift walk-in closet. The open and airy feel changed as lifestyle needs evolved, especially after getting a second dog. More separation between sleeping and the main living area became a priority. A DIY wall was built to divide the space, using steel framing and drywall so it could be removed easily as a renter. The bedroom side was transformed into an intimate cocoon-like sleeping nook by moving the bed back and painting the area Behr’s Midnight Blue, despite high ceilings making the painting work time-consuming.
