Interiors by Ryan White Designs

image

Rayn started off designing his own home in LA before friends requested him to do theirs. Afterward, he completed 5 projects in a year. He know has a full service interior design firm that designs furniture, selects fabric & materials like stone as well as specific details like bathroom towels. With a belief no job is too big or small and projects stemming from beach houses to NYC lofts, Ryan White Designs dabbles in a little bit of everything to create beautiful interiors. Here are some of my favorite spaces from his portfolio.

Bistro & Tulip tables are great in small spaces…

image

When living in a cramped space, it’s often hard to find the room to sit a dining or kitchen table. Often times apartment kitchens are small or galley styled and may only have a dinette area verses a full dining room. So purchasing furniture that fits the space is imperative. You want to be able to move around the tables and still have something functional.

I wasn’t always sold on tulip tables or anything mid-century for that matter but over time I have come to appreciate how genius the design is. Having a pedastal base allows chairs to easily scoot in without bumping legs. A circular table frees up more space than a traditional rectangular shaped one and they fit perfectly in any small nook and cranny of a room.

So if you’re in a dorm or moved back to the parents home and need a bit of privacy when dining, consider a table of this style. Pairing it with one or four chairs really doesn’t matter if the circumferance of tabletop isn’t too big. Bistro tables typically look great in pairs of chairs or even solo dolo when placed in a corner. Add a light to create a cozy reading nook.

If I could change 1 thing…about this dining room…

{ Codo a Codo Arquitectura}

When I saw this dining room I immediately thought how much I like the bones. The loft feel and sloped ceilings makes for a very interesting dining space but it comes crashing down with the random vases sporadically spread on the table. I don’t even like the tablecloth. But if I had to pick one thing, it would be the centerpieces. They’re too large and disrupts conversation by causing an obstructed view and….I just don’t like them. What would you change?

Hang those inexpensive behind-the-door mirrors horizontally

I actually talked about this once before but I found more inspiration to make cheap mirrors look chic. These usually price between $5 and $8 at Target and the like.
