Style with Color

Some choose bright colors and others choose modern neutrals, but each brings a unique style.

Small Space, Big Style : Episode HSSBS-313 -- More Projects »
Using color can open up a space while adding original style. A prefab space has unique features for maximizing space, a Chicago space becomes a hideout for great storage ideas, a New York resident colors her apartment 14 different hues, and a London space gets stylish inside a 100-year-old Victorian mansion.

Bishops Mansion
Pablo Uribe believes that the keys to a comfortable atmosphere are effective organization of space and manipulation of light, principles the Columbia-born architect puts into action for clients on both sides of the Atlantic. In London Uribe and his architectural partner Rob Baines took an 800-square-foot, compartmentalized, ground floor apartment in a 100-year-old Victorian mansion and opened it up, creating a bright, flowing, multipurpose space serving as both home and design studio. The interior is modern, but not cold—with cherry wood floors, fine imported furniture and art.

Cherry Kitchen
Uribe eliminated all nonstructural walls and converted the second bedroom into a dining/social area with a built-in bench. Floor-to-ceiling cherry panels conceal storage cabinets, and as an article in The Independent stated, "this place has storage like the rest of us have junk." Kitchen appliances are also concealed behind cherry wood cabinets. At the back of the kitchen sits a desk lit by the window, maximizing every last bit of space. The floor-to-ceiling cherry makes the ceiling feel higher and the room seem larger.
