Top Design: Artsy Bunker

Posted by Kristin Abraham Sep 11, 2008

The challenge this week on Top Design was to create an Artsy Bunker, or a fall out shelter that you would be comfortable spending time in. Initially it seemed as though everyone was creating a nightmare but I was very surprised by a lot of the finished results. In fact, its a challenge I would love to work on.

There were two great tips that came out of the show and if you don't watch it for the room inspiration, then you should at least get the tips.

1) Think outside of the box. Use boxes and storage containers as shelves and attach the bottoms of them flush against a wall. This gives you unexpected storage and endless design options.

2) Todd Oldham tip - Like an outfit, get the room completely dressed and then look in the mirror and remove one piece. Basically, edit your room and your decorating because in a small space, less is frequently more.
