Moving in at Meridian – Part 4

In the last post, the original measurements were transformed into a working floor plan using a scale drawing created in Adobe Illustrator. Before I post photos, let’s take a virtual walk through of the layout along with some explanation of some of the creative solutions used to maximize the space in the studio.

The Lobby

Stepping in through the front door, I established a “lobby” area outfitted with a lamp, a comfy, oversized ottoman with storage inside (the space is small – storage in every nook and cranny is very important to maintain a neat space), a plant for a bit of softness and a small decorative file cabinet, coordinated to my desk, that also serves as a magazine stand and end table. My studio also happens to hold all the utility hookups for the entire building that had to be hidden, so I chose a freestanding screen  with circular mirror accents and decorative urn with an 8′ tall natural arrangement to disguise those.
