A New York City apartment breaks the mould with daring and dramatic decor
Breaking the mould
Find helpful design tips from artist and owner of Made By Girl, Jen Ramos's stylish New York City abode.
1 Make a big entrance
Drama defines this apartment’s small entryway. Homeowner Jen Ramos painted swatches of high-gloss black on top of the matte black walls, which serve as a bold backdrop to a console accented in gold. An organic-shaped white mirror offers a fresh counterpoint.
2 Go faux
"To take attention away from the odd indentation behind the sofa in the living room, we created faux panelling with black paint,” says Jen. The treatment also enhances the graphic artwork and lively mix of toss cushions.
