How We DID It: The Power of Scale

To achieve this within the compact footprint, we drew on design legend Michael Taylor’s philosophy of 'oversized, anthropomorphic furniture' for small spaces. His theory—that key pieces in the correct larger scale actually enhance small spaces—proved true here. This counterintuitive approach created a sense of presence and perfect proportion, making the room feel grander and more intentional.

The result is a home that feels airy and stylishly graceful, a reflection of its owner's sophisticated presence. And in a delightful twist? We wound up blending in about 60% vintage and antique by the end.
