Steal This Look: A Belgian-Inflected Guest Bedroom, 100 Square Feet Small

December 18, 2018

The owner of a remodeled house in Washington, DC, has an unshakable obsession with European design (we can relate) and is willing to source far and wide to get it. So far that she enlisted designers Studio Oink from Leipzig, Germany, and had a load of EU products rounded up and shipped by crate. The tiny guest bedroom (under 100 square feet) features a curtained-off daybed, a custom desk, and a wall of storage. As with the rest of the house, Studio Oink worked with a Flemish color palette and integrated high European design. The result is a little piece of Belgium (or Germany, or Italy, or Sweden for that matter) in DC. Here’s a list of design sources that make up the look.

The curtains throughout the bedroom are Kinnasand Como (a discontinued linen fabric with a metallic weave), that run on a track. Photograph by Matthew Williams and styling by Alexa Hotz from A Luminous, Euro-Style Row House in Washington, DC, Courtesy of Studio Oink.
