There are two words in particular that, when used in the same sentence, work us up into a design frenzy. And no, they’re not “unlimited” and “budget.” Maybe it’s our lust for style, our appreciation for great cities or perhaps a combination of both. Regardless, the words “decorating” and “Manhattan” flip our interior design excitement switches in a very special way. So when Elyse E. came to Havenly seeking help with decorating her Manhattan apartment on a budget, we were more than happy to oblige.

When it comes to apartments in Manhattan, clever interior design is the fastest way to make your space work for you. Havenly designer Hannah C. used strategically-placed mirrors, a tucked-away vanity and a fabulous bedroom bench, to make use of limited space. “The contemporary chandelier and abstract painting were my inspiration for the overall style, and I love using blues in bedrooms for a peaceful vibe.” – Hannah C.
