Home Transformation
A Violinist's Small Space In Portland
Location:
1-Br Apt. in Portland, Oregon
The Team:
Shelby Towell, Designer
Michelle Gonzales, Installer
Client:
Nelly Kovalev, violinist for
the Oregon Symphony
The Challenge:
Small space! That means making every piece
count in her 580–square–foot apartment.
The Solution:
Zoning is key. Rounded pieces were added for easy navigating in compact quarters as well as a gallery wall of mirrors to enlarge the space + reflect light.
How It Came Together
Nelly has a small
space. But she
didn't want to
miss out on style."
— west elm designer,
Shelby Towell
Shelby's floor plan organized
the living room for eating/working
and relaxing/entertaining.
