A house for someone who works where they rest — the easel and the bed in the same breath.
The studio sits low. There's no desk and no dining chair in it; the whole room works at floor height, around a cozy low table with a maroon throw and scattered pillows. An easel stands to one side holding a blank canvas — the only upright object in the room, so the eye goes straight to it.
The walls carry the colour rather than the furniture: gold wallpaper with a running-chocobo motif, dark timber, and windows framed by climbing vines and strung lights. Storage boxes sit in a row above the windows, high enough to read as texture instead of clutter.
The bed is the counterweight. Pale walls, an A-frame ceiling, and a blossoming tree grown indoors. Everything is soft and light where the studio is warm and dense, and a marble-framed bookcase alcove gives it one formal element to sit against.
What went into it
- The studio built entirely at floor height — cushions and low tables, no upright seating
- A single easel as the only vertical object, so the room has one focal point
- Gold wallpaper carrying the colour instead of the furnishings
- Storage boxes lined up above the window run, reading as texture rather than clutter
- Climbing vines and strung lights used to frame the windows from inside
- A blossoming tree grown indoors over the bed
- Soft jellyfish lamps hung at three heights to fill the A-frame's vertical space
