This 800-square-foot Brooklyn apartment is full of smart storage solutions | Architectural Summary

But their dream apartment had a few weak points, one of which was storage. “Living in New York, we’re no strangers to limited storage, but when we moved in, we realized we only had one closet, which obviously isn’t ideal,” Megan says. To solve this problem, they added custom shelves from Rakks in the dining room so they could store and display all of their dishes, books, photos and designer items. “We like to revamp this shelf every couple of months with new items and photos,” says Megan. “It helps refresh the space and give it personality.” The kitchen also had limited storage options and was quite compact, so the pair made use of wall space again, adding hooks, rods and magnets to hold their pots, utensils and knives.

It was important to them to make sure the space was comfortable, bright and playful. Since the apartment is small, they needed to maximize every square inch of space. They achieved this by keeping furniture neutral and clean, extending their storage solutions to walls, and focusing on key accessories and artwork in the space. “We’re both very creative, so we wanted to make sure our home was infused with both of our personalities, without taking each other too seriously,” Megan explains. Noah is an avid book and record collector and Megan loves designer objects, art and furniture. Early on, they decided that rather than hide all of their items, they would put them on display to honor their respective interests. “We think it gives a lot of character to the apartment and it’s a great reflection of who we are as designers and creatives,” they say.
