apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Artfully Crammed Red Hook Rental
New York Magazine 5.19.08

This is the last of the six New York homes featured in New York Magazine's Interiors Issue. Artist Judyth van Amringe loves her stuff...and it fills her Red Hook apartment to the gills. In the author's words, the apartment is "artfully crammed rather than cluttered and claustrophobic." Everything has its place. We're especially curious about the armchair in the photo above (lower left corner) that appears to be upholstered in various citrus-themed textiles...

Looks like my mother-in-law's apartment. I always advise her to declutter.

I'll have to take a pass on artfully crammed. I don't like barren spaces, but there is such a thing as too much.

This is lovely. It borders on being a little oppressive with all of the stuff, but clearly everything has been arranged, well, "artfully". I'd much rather have something like this then the trendy retro couches and etsy posters (sorry, I like etsy, but does no one else find seeing these cartoonish things everywhere a little irritating and boring? There are independent artists out there doing other, more interesting things. Rant over). Anyway, very nice.

I'm definitely digging this. I would be in my element in this home.

This is really something. I could not copy it but I'm inspired by it. None of the pictures look like jumbles, they're very geometrically designed, color-wise, just as mosaic or collage like. I admire people who don't feel "forced" to reconsider all of their belongings and purge them in a smaller living space. Having things is not a crime.
