Designer Beverly Feldman was faced with a dilemma when she decorated her studio apartment: how to take every inch and make it important. The high-ceilinged, single-level apartment actually contained very little space, and it was very boxy and angular--or as Feldman puts it, "a racquetball court." Plus, it had to serve as both her home and her office. Here are a few of her innovative solutions:
- To counteract all the angles, Feldman used curves: in her tables, chairs, shelves , lamps, even her artwork. As a bonus, one massive piece of art, which was specially designed for the space, is acoustical to help counteract the echoing space.
- Her worktable is on casters; by day it serves as her desk, and then at night it can be turned to serve as a dining table. The chairs, which stack during business hours, are separated and placed around the table for dining.
- The file cabinets are built into a wall unit, which is hidden behind electronically controlled tambour doors.
- Feldman custom-designed her Murphy bed, and it was the first item she placed in the apartment.
