This isn't just an apartment; it's my personal retreat, a canvas where my personality takes center stage. My design philosophy is simple: I wanted a home that feels collected, not decorated. I drew inspiration from the bold, optimistic eras of the past but filtered them through a modern, practical lens for my life today. I call it "curated nostalgia." I'm not trying to recreate a museum. Instead, I've chosen pieces that speak to me—the clean lines of a 60s teak sideboard, the earthy texture of a 70s shag rug, or the vibrant pop of an 80s art print. Each item has a story and brings me joy. For me, it's about mixing these timeless elements with the comforts of contemporary living. I was fearless with color and texture. A deep mustard wall makes my gallery of artwork pop. A sleek, chrome-plated floor lamp stands next to a velvety olive green armchair. This interplay of warm woods, cool metals, and soft textiles creates a space that is as inviting as it is stylish. As a single person, this space is a true reflection of who I am. It’s designed for my rhythm—a cozy corner for reading, a perfect spot for my record player, and an open layout for entertaining friends. It’s dynamic, personal, and full of life. Ultimately, my Retro Styler apartment is my sanctuary. It’s where the soul of the past meets my present, creating a home that is authentically and unapologetically mine.
