Natural motifs in the interior of the apartment Maggie and Jose

A pair of lovers will show us the natural motives in the interior of their apartment.

When Maggie and Jose could no longer afford to pay high-priced apartment rentals in San Francisco, they decided to pack their belongings and move to Oakland - many people who could not afford a high rental fee in the Bay Area area.

In Auckland, they were not the first time. The Maggie has relatives here, and Jose and his friend opened a coffee shop there a year before the move. After 8 months, the couple "took root" in this cozy apartment with a Bohemian interior.

Less than a year took a couple to create an incredibly cozy place

Encouraged by the vintage stores of second-hand goods and various Bohemian destinations, the couple was able to equip the house in a style that combines Maggie's great love for plants and objects that remind of home and family.

At the entrance to the apartment you can see the butterflies that the couple brought from Peru, the birthplace of Jose, and the apartment itself is furnished with furniture that Maggie inherited from her mother. All these elements make the apartment incredibly cozy, and the house - filled with energy.

Metal shelves solve the problem of storing things in a small apartment space

Maggie about the design of his apartment:

Style: Vintage, but without kitsch. Graphic nature Inspires: Maggie's mom, second-hand shops, internet, blogs Favorite interior: Plants

Flowers and plants on a wicker shelf

The main task: The apartment is small. We love it when there are many different things in the house, but we do not like the feeling of overcrowding. Everywhere you need a limit! What friends say: More plants? Really? Advice: Store things in beautiful containers / containers. I store my accessories in ceramic containers, not in plastic boxes.

In the kitchen spices and bulk products are stored in the same jars

Sources of inspiration: Vintage things (with Ebay)
