This 800 sq. ft. apt. is home to designer Peti Lau, and is inviting with its relaxed and romantic atmosphere. Peti has traveled extensively and brought home art from all over the world.
Her home abounds with color and texture. She layers her furniture with many different fabrics in various styles. She designs with four elements in mind: Eclectic, worldly, romantic, and dramatic.
Simply adding fabric to this table brings it up a notch in elegance and romance. She adds delicate tea cups and saucers, candles and plants to the surface to round out this table top vignette.
Books and magazines are stored in her white book shelves, adding even more color with the various book spines. Though there is a lot in this small space, it is well-organized and not haphazard.
Peti is not afraid to mix and not match. She is inspired by her travels which gives a worldly theme to her surroundings. She adds feminine touches in the many layers she brings to her furnishings.
The book shelves also serve as a mini bar for entertaining. Corralling necessities in a tray brings a cohesive look to this area of her home.
The dining space is more than adequate in size and open layout to entertain and serve guests.
This is her loft bedroom decorated with a touch of Old World style charm.
She lugged this sofa home 3 blocks, after finding it on the street, dragged it up 3 flights, and realized it was throw away b/c the leather strapping was broken. So she rewrapped it w/black vinyl rope and repurposed it. Amazing ideas, here, right?
