Sometimes pushing your furniture against a wall is a design mistake...but other times it's the only way to arrange a room. Let's discuss...

Name: Penelope, Zack and pup Milli Location: Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York When my boyfriend and I decided to take the plunge last summer and apartment hunt together, our only absolutes were that we find a two bedroom (Zack is a photographer, and needed the extra room to use as his studio) with subway proximity. After a week of searching, our dream apartment — two bedroom, spacious, rooftop access, modern, airy — popped up on Craigslist. The only catch?

This gorgeous reading room offers lots of space to unwind and bright natural windows to let light in. The bright cotton candy pink couch in the middle of the room adds a bold pop of color to the space. There is no shortage of shelving in this reading nook, the huge wall behind the pink couch has huge natural wood shelves that span almost the entire length of the wall.

This L.A. home’s refresh called for a new dining room rug size, leafy wallpaper, a modular sofa, and more.
