Iron Mountain 2134-30

Ideas for small spaces: Custom bookshelves + dark walls: 'Iron Mountain' by Benjamin Moore

Architect Jeffery Povero maximized space in his 860-square-foot New York apartment with architectural custom shelving in the bedroom, which provides neatly efficient storage. He also used opposing paint colors to make the space seem larger: Benjamin Moore’s Iron Mountain (on walls) and white (in recesses) help the dark color dematerialize at the edges. Signoria bedspread from ABC Carpet and Home (no longer available; for a similar look, try Crate & Barrel’s Avery bedspread or this coverlet from Garnet Hill).
