Settle into a tiny rented apartment –is not an easy task. The owner of this apartment managed not only to fit a kitchen, living room, workspace and bedroom into 42 square meters, but also to make the home truly his own. This very small apartment by New York standards has been rented by its current tenant for more than 4 years. During this time, the young man with the laconic name CB graduated from New York University and got a remote job that required a special approach to decorating. On the one hand, the interior shouldn't have beendistract during working hours, on the other hand, it should help to relax in those bright moments when work is done. The owner of the apartment studied many interior design websites and concluded that he would not find a standard solution, which meant that he would have to come up with everything himself. Set up a full-fledged office of 42 sq. m.m – a task that is practically impossible, so the young tenant took the path of least resistance and simply placed the desk in the corner. In order to somehow highlight this area against the background of other furniture, also standing along the wall, the owner laid a small rug, and hung several paper ceiling lights directly above the desk. The young man admitted that most of allIn this apartment, he doesn't like the white walls, which, according to the lease agreement, are strictly forbidden to be painted. He got out of the situation with the help of decor: items from his numerous collections - maps, posters, photographs, stamps, postcards, magazines and posters - are evenly distributed over the walls of the apartment and quite successfully distract attention from the white silence of the plaster, while telling the story of the owner himself.
