Julian has no shame in his game of designing, personalizing and curating art for his Brooklyn, NYC bachelor pad. It’s a loft apt. and he says his family spent years together playing armchair designer- sitting and watching HGTV inspired him to embrace DIY stuff.
Julian’s creative spirit took off with his first DIY loft project: Stencil painted walls.
The end result creates a contemporary, black-and-white mural wall that helps to define the small space.
Julian's modern, neutral dining nook is small but packs a cozy design aesthetic.
A rug is a good way to add some depth, texture and color to a space.
Just beside the dining table sits a drink station.
"This is a bachelor pad and therefore a bachelor kitchen — this is all for show," Julian says with a laugh. He did, however, DIY the tile backsplash.
"I always thought of myself as a plant guy, but in reality I am not," Julian says.
One of the most attention-grabbing areas in Julian's loft is the expansive, pop culture curated gallery wall.
Neutral, contemporary and classic designs complete Julian's bedroom look.
This apartment used to be a retail store so there is no built-in closet space.
"There’s not even full walls, which is why I had to create a partition wall," Julian continues.
"When I moved in here, the bathroom was horrible," Julian says. "It was very pink, very retro, and I couldn’t even tell you what decade it came from. But I decided to keep the pink tile because I’m realizing it is kind of a rarity.”
Julian made his home office work for both 9-to-5 and 5-to-9 endeavors.
A comfy leather sofa and acrylic coffee table continue the modern, eclectic vibe in Julian's combo living and office space.
