""When I first moved in, the space felt very plain, almost too quiet, but I was drawn to the light and the feeling of being tucked into the mountains.""
""I'm very sensitive to colors, light, and how objects interact with each other. Sometimes I'll look at a corner and feel a small rush, like everything just clicks visually.""
""I focused instead on small, intentional transformations that could completely change the feeling of the space.""
""I'm drawn to things that feel a little nostalgic, a little playful, sometimes even a bit strange, but when they come together, they create something warm and alive.""
Paola and her partner Slava rented a 495-square-foot apartment in Vail, Colorado, which initially felt plain and lacked identity. Over the past year, Paola has transformed the space to reflect her personal style, focusing on small, intentional changes due to rental restrictions. She utilized renter-friendly solutions like peel-and-stick wallpaper and layered textures, lighting, and color. Her design choices are influenced by nostalgia and playfulness, creating a warm and lively atmosphere in their home.
