A Compact Mexico City Apartment Finds Calm Through Custom Furniture
Mexico City-based Mariel Lozano Studio has designed the interiors and furniture for San Luis, the debut property of the hospitality concept Stays. The studio organised the compact space to create tranquillity and reduce clutter.
The Moonza view
In small spaces, off-the-shelf furniture often either does not fit or wastes a corner. Furniture designed for the exact space frees up room and creates a calm, unified look. The same applies to small offices, compact executive rooms and apartment-based workplaces.
The key to reducing clutter is enough closed storage; when files, cables and supplies have a set place, even a small room looks tidy and larger. Desks with drawers, under-desk pedestals and shelving that rises to the ceiling do not eat into floor space.
- In small spaces, prefer closed storage to open shelving
- Use wall height for storage to keep the floor clear
- Light, consistent colours make a space feel bigger
