Desirable but Expensive Housing in New Yorkimposes a lot of restrictions. Something has to be sacrificed, but not comfort or beauty! Take a look at this interesting apartment makeover where the bedroom and living room swapped places. Finding a place to live is a difficult time in the life of any New Yorker: the price is prohibitive, good options are snapped up like hot cakes, and landlords require references and certificates of reliability. The girl who described her makeover in the SuCasa group on the Popsugar.com website moved to Manhattan from Los Angeles. It wasn’t easy for her either, but she tried to get the most out of her apartment. This is what the rooms looked like before she decorated them.
Most likely, she was advised to arrangerooms as all the residents of the house with this layout did: the living room is in the room with the brick wall, the bedroom is in the room with the window. But our heroine did the opposite and "won" as a result a quiet bedroom and a cozy living room. Let's study the main design finds in more detail.

The hallmark of Manhattan style is brickmasonry. Initially, this technique emphasized the beauty of the space without unnecessary interference in loft apartments converted from warehouses. But brick can be quite decorative and appropriate even in a small room. By the way, on our site there are articles with very beautiful .
French Sliding Door
The door allows maximum entryamount of light in a dark bedroom, easily retracts into the walls, saving space, and at the same time protects the owner's sleep from the noise of the metropolis. Look at other examples of using sliding in the interior.
Mirror in the living room
A large mirror will add to a small roomlight and space. The entire room can be seen from the sofa, which adds a sense of security. In such a living room, you want to read, comfortably settled in an armchair, or drink wine with friends.
Color and texture
Notice the colors and texturesthe heroine chose - she wisely kept the light walls, which was good for the cramped spaces, and the roughness of the brickwork was set off by the softness of the fur skins on the floor and sofa, the airy texture of the curtains - all this visually .

Accessories
Abstract paintings, a living orchid, an elegant oriental vase - all the decorative elements characterize the hostess as a person with good taste, a broad outlook, striving for harmony.
