小空间内用黑色，又要让空间显得宽敞，除了在色调和结构上作文章，还有重要的一点——让多种设计风格和材质与黑色撞击。设计公司在为联邦道这间700平方英尺的组屋做设计时，就实践了上述理念和原则。

Young couple Melvin and Desiree love watching movies, chilling with friends and making music. Their home is a reflection of their interests and an extension of their personalities. Here’s how their vision became a reality with a lot of help from their designer, from The Local INN.terior.

The word “space” brings different images to the mind, it can mean an area ready to be used, an intimate/private territory, it can also mean nothingness or out of the world, literally.

Often by looking into someone elses’ space, somehow you could guess the person’s character, personality and preferences. In short, it reflects who we are.
