My aesthetic A personal haven where bloomcore meets splashes of boho, pastel and RGB

Emily Chapman

When my partner and I first moved into this house, I knew straight away that I needed this (formerly living) room as my studio, which featured a wonderful bay window! I love having a ton of natural daylight, as this is absolutely essential for traditional work, which is the medium most of my commissions are in, so it was a perfect fit for me!

For my aesthetics, I wanted to go for a clean, fresh look, so I chose primarily white units for the room that would then complement and allow for colourful accents! This is where I introduced pretty RGB lighting combined with hints of Gothic vibes, like my love for crescent moons. I feel like my studio reflects my personality entirely! Fairly recently I took an interest in indoor plants. Collecting and caring for them became quite an obsession, which is great when you need a break from art or work! Artists often need a hobby to separate them out of their daily grind and I found this has been really beneficial and peaceful. They also decorate my room beautifully, I love feeling like I'm in my own personal little jungle!
