We recently assisted a client with finishes and furniture selection for this beautifully appointed studio space, purpose-built above their new garage. Designed to function as a self-contained guest retreat, the studio includes a combined bedroom, bathroom, living, and kitchenette & dining area — all within a compact footprint that feels open and calm.

With the goal of creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, we curated a soft, tonal palette layered with natural textures, tactile fabrics, and relaxed furnishings. Keeping budget and practicality in mind, we selected ready-made pieces that come together like a custom-designed interior — comfortable, functional, and beautifully resolved.
