Cem Evirgen, the founder of Monomid, revamped an outdated Upper East Side apartment by focusing on furniture updates and accentuating the apartment's attractive features. The project revitalized the living room and bedroom in just a few days, opting for soft neutral paint and lighter, modern furnishings to replace the heavy, dated decor. To create functional separation in the living area, Evirgen incorporated distinct spaces for dining and relaxing, demonstrating that thoughtful design can elevate an apartment's appeal on a budget.
We refreshed the walls with a soft neutral paint, introduced an off-white modular sofa to better fit the room's proportions, and replaced the bulky curtains with lighter linen window treatments.
We placed the dining table at the far end of the room and took advantage of a custom heater structure by converting it into built-in bench seating.
A three-seater sofa along the opposite wall helped create a cozy, dedicated conversation area, and we chose a mix of contemporary and classic pieces to appeal to a broad range of tastes.
To get the space more selling potential on a lower budget, Evirgen opted to focus on furniture updates and highlighting its great bones like the beamed ceilings and abundant natural light.
