After: Unifying Boundaries
The Solution
Interior designer Lee Snijders and the Design on a Dime team rework the space by emphasizing the industrial elements and blending in the bedroom area's style with the rest of the loft. They continue the deep blue and brown color scheme into the bedroom area with lush new bedding. Bringing the blue onto the bedroom wall balances the space and provides a nice contrast with the bedding. A neutral-colored, reverse Roman shade on the large windows provides privacy while letting Ponnusamy enjoy natural light and a view of the city.
