[VIDEO] Peek Inside This Beautiful 900-Sqft Gathering-Friendly Brooklyn Loft

Marika Frumes has designed a home for sharing. Inspired by two of her favorite cities--Stockholm and Istanbul--the large Brooklyn loft is filled with bright light that bounces cheerfully off of clean white walls. Warm wooden ceiling beams are complemented by a furniture color palette rich in creamy camel-colored brown leather. An open kitchen is the heart of the space, anchored by a huge table and chairs. Everywhere you look, cozy seating beckons, and perky green plant life invites you to relax. It's the kind of space anyone could find comfy, an important decor element for a homeowner whose life revolves around community and connection.
