Introducing: Into Freshwater
It’s been a while since I designed an entire room, so I’m really excited to finally share this one 🥹
Last week, I visited my friend’s art exhibit and one question immediately came to mind:
Can a single piece of art inspire an entire bedroom?
That question became the starting point for this project.
Into Freshwater is a bedroom designed for a 14-year-old, inspired by the Crappie Gyotaku artwork of Eastern Shore Gyotaku
Rather than creating a fishing-themed room, I aimed to translate the feeling behind the artwork into the space itself.
Every design decision—from the color palette and materials to the textures and details—was inspired by the freshwater landscape.
Personal touches were then added to reflect the teenager who would call this room his own ✨
I love how this design came to life 🤩. A room can be more than just aesthetics… it can tell a story!
Which detail caught your attention first?
A special thank you to Robby from Eastern Shore Gyotaku for creating artwork that tells stories—and inspires new ones 🫶🏼
