From: LABLstudio

From the exterior, few might suspect that this Gothic-style church in Brooklyn is actually home to several condominiums. To highlight the unique architectural details of the interior, LABLstudio painted their client's door a teal blue, outfitted the kitchen with matching tile, and then pulled in antique pieces that speak to the owner's eclectic style.

The home's driving color scheme is mostly cool: grays, blues and teals. Pops of bright pink and a few warmer colors (burgundy, magenta) are sprinkled in to add energy and dimension. This loft sitting area is a perfect example of the design's fun, bohemian nature with imaginative layering of texture and color.
