"Everyone needs a place to retire to, a place of tranquility and escape from the world. Bedrooms are a place for relaxation which is essential in our hectic modern lives. Between work, bringing up children, and socialising, sometimes we need a quiet retreat to reset our brain and body. To lower your stress levels, bedrooms should be a place to unwind."

A proposed Modern Coastal style living room for a family in Ozamiz City.

Modern Coastal Design is a style that evokes a feeling of tranquility and comfort. It is typically a more casual style, a room that feels like a haven from the stresses of everyday life. It incorporates delicate light, a soft color palette that includes blue and light blue, an airy vibe, and natural textures.

Beauty in simplicity.

Rugs are a great way to frame the different areas in an open plan space. Choose a patterned rug to give contrast in a neutral color scheme.

"Working with a small, tight space in your home? This is where mirrors are beneficial. It's no secret that 𝐦𝐢𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 -- even if you're working with very limited square footage.

With the right mirror and the best placement, you can make even the tiniest room seem that much bigger with a tall, standing mirror, or even a floor-to-ceiling mirror. Not only this, but a mirror can also add tons of depth to a room."

Studio Kaleidoscope's Angela Te-Sabordo on her reimagined design of Monica Geller's:

❝I’m a big fan of FRIENDS (and to celebrate the show’s upcoming reunion special), I decided to reimagine what Monica’s apartment would look like in 2021.

This updated version of Monica’s apartment was inspired by her character on the show. Monica is known as a ‘neat freak obsessed with cleanliness’, a perfectionist (Google “Monica Gellar’s towels”) and a ‘control freak’ (source: Wikipedia).

Also, according to Friends set decorator Greg Grande¹, Monica “had a really good eye and was really meticulous and creative”.
To bring the iconic eclectic apartment up to date, the purple walls simply had to go (Sorry, but not really). White walls are much easier on the eyes and provide a great backdrop for color splashes. Plus, imagine staring at those purple walls 24/7 while riding out the pandemic (they’re slowly closing in).

‘𝑉𝑜𝑔𝑢𝑒 𝑎𝑠𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑠𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝑡𝑜𝑝 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑟 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 ℎ𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑠 𝑤𝑒’𝑟𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑒𝑒 𝑖𝑛 2021, 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑 𝑑𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑎𝑙𝑙: 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑡.’

The color scheme remains somewhat faithful to the original concept: purple, but complemented with reds and greens, and lots of wood.

The purple door and the yellow frame have to remain, because of course they have to, as well as the wood frame around the kitchen. The kitchen cabinets I decided would be purple – a very light lilac – with gold cabinet handles. White marble counters and backsplash are a neutral supplement to the lilac, but is beautiful in its own simplicity. The dining chairs, I imagined, are flea market finds, reupholstered in a black and white patterned fabric that complements the rug. Very understated chic.

The sofa I replaced with a big, comfortable sectional. With the on-going pandemic making hermits of us all, and Monica’s five close friends always around, this seemed like a better option (the white fabric is stain-resistant so don’t worry).

Eclectic interior style is a combination of old and new, an incorporation of global influences, bold statements balanced with neutral schemes. In the case of the pillows, they are a mix-and-match collection of prints and solids in bright purples, reds and greens, with a modern Ikat rug framing the living area. A velvet purple accent chair and ottoman sit at the side of the room, perfect for reading and relaxing.

I imagined all the wooden tables and cabinets are thrift or flea market finds. Elements of cane weaving are found in some cabinets, as the art of craftsmanship is currently more appreciated. The vintage prints all over the apartment walls are just colorful enough to brighten up the space.

Overall, this redesign aimed to make the apartment look modern and timelessly chic, designed for and better suited to the client’s personality and tastes, updated according to current interior design trends and lifestyle changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.❞
