Danielle and Jarrod Evans live in the tiny Discovery District of downtown Columbus, Ohio. The area is home to many historically registered residences, from sprawling mansions to smaller, more affordable apartments like theirs. While they love the historic aspects of their apartment, what they really wanted was a modern space for work and play. They quickly realized the best way to make the space work was by embracing the unchangeable aspects of their rental and even highlighting them, by doing things like designing and layering a vinyl decal over the red backsplash in their kitchen. They also minimized their possessions in order to convey a more spacious and inviting vibe. The result of these efforts is a home that reflects the bold and illustrative styles unique to these two creative minds. Danielle is a freelance designer and letterer, known for her dimensional type and her side project, Food Typography. Thank you, Danielle and Jarrod! -Shannon
Image above: The bedroom was originally painted olive and wasn’t benefiting the size of the room or our aesthetic. To sleep better and make the room feel more spacious, we repainted with a dark teal. Our furniture looks richer and our bedding looks crisp and bright. To keep the bed wall open and minimal, we installed Umbra’s floating bookshelves to function as nightstands.
Image above: We looked at so many units in our building that I forgot which kitchen we chose and was promptly horrified by the original red countertops. We luckily had a can of red paint on hand from another project that exactly matched the backsplash, so we painted the wall above the cabinet to even out the ratio of red to white. We designed and cut a vinyl decal backsplash to break up the heavy red block and accented with pops of teal.
