In the heart of Soho sits a classic, New York apartment with a California soul. Filled with flea market finds, up-cycled storage, and vibrant textiles, the once dark studio now has a sunny new look. With the help of Homepolish designer Noa Santos and the client's West Cost roots, the newly decorated apartment proves that style doesn't have to come at a price. Sure it's small, but creative touches — like using wooden shipping pallets as a bed frame — will easily inspire your own affordable updates.
