Now that we’ve been in our Brooklyn apartment for about a month, I’m starting to think about some new decorating ideas that could work in our space. Since our apartment is a studio, we want to create separate spaces for hanging out/watching TV, sleeping, eating, working, etc. so that everything doesn’t blur together. You know that combination of eating dinner in bed while watching TV with your laptop open to your email? That drives me crazy!
While we’re still working out our furniture situation (we need to get a couch asap), I’ve been thinking about artwork. I’ve seen some fun illuminated marquee letter displays in living rooms and kitchens, and in the right space, they look cool! You can either spell words or use single letters or symbols.
One thing I’m not sure about though: Do illuminated marquee letter displays seem too collegiate? We want to make our home feel grown-up, so I’m kind of on the fence. A “D & K” displayed on the floor with some framed artwork might look nice though. What do you think?
