Artist Ren Riley shares her experience of transforming her 600-square-foot rental apartment into a personalized haven that embodies her artistic identity. Drawing inspiration from C.S. Lewis's 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,' Ren aimed to recreate the magical feel of the professor's manor house from her childhood imagination. The result is a dark academic dream that combines new furniture with unique antiques, creating a cozy and comforting space that reflects her artistic style and philosophy, making it a space synonymous with her personality.
My friends have described stepping over the threshold as akin to walking into my brain. Even the prominently featured green color of my main living and entertaining areas is one that my close friend has started calling 'Ren Green'.
The aesthetic is a mix of new pieces and antiques that feminize the smokers lounge vibe we associate with masculine spaces in the English stately homes of the early 1900s.
