Stylish Storage Solution for a Small Space

This bedroom was designed for a young woman on the UES living in a teeny tiny rental apt with two other roomates. She works for a cosmetics company and every inch of her room is currently cluttered with lip gloss! I designed this wrap around curtain to hide storage shelves which will be full of labeled bins for all her samples. I also put in a divider between the vanity and the bed so it separates the two spaces. The vanity area acts like her own personal walk in closet. We did the walls in a light purple as per her request and I added an accent of a black stripe to border the walls for a little more flare and to pick up on the other black in the armoire and lampshade, and the rug we decided on which is also black and white and pictured below.


Chandelier from Urban Outfitters. She really wanted a chandelier but rents the space and would have to have an electrician do wiring so we found this one which plugs in and hangs from a chain!


$140!!! Great deal!






Graphic black and white rug from Urban Outfitters, I also suggested using a yellow and white striped one but I think this is better!


Fluted Pink glass table lamp base from Lamps Plus



Lamp shade for pink lamp base. Both from LampsPlus



Drapery fabric to go all the way around half of the room along one entire wall to hide the storage shelves with bins which hold all the cosmetics that she has because of her work! We are going to get the shelves off of craigslist and this fabric is only $6.95 yd. It is going to creat sooooo much extra needed storage for only about $200! When she want to hide the mess she just pulls the curtain all the way around! We will also wrap it around to the window.




I suggested a pair of these from Urban Outfitters and reupholstering them in this fabric below. They are only $48 each!!!

Fabric for stools. One under vanity and one under desk



This LIV CHIC cabinet we are doing in all black and the interior a burnt red along with a vanity to go next to it which willbe lacquered red with thin white detailing along the edges and on details as per drawing.
