Finding the perfect apartment in New York City is difficult, but it can be even more difficult.
With so many options in the market, you can feel overwhelming to encrypt through coffee tables and endless sofas, especially if you do not want to spend five figures that provide your space.
Enter Sicotas, an accessible design furniture company, based on the principles of simplicity, comfort and taste (there is just in the name!). Founded in 2018, the brand offers elegant, versatile and environmentally conscious domestic decoration, and recently I have experienced its first-hand pieces when my friend Brooke asked me for help to give his Brooklyn rent a very necessary facelift.
Together with the interior designer Kat Salazar and the marketing manager of Sicotas Charlene Yang, we decided to focus our efforts on the two spaces that Brooke uses more. We started in the living room; With little, in addition to a sectional sofa and a few plants scattered as a starting point, it was the perfect blank canvas to bring life to life.
“The first thing I notice about this space is all the beautiful natural elements: the exposed brick, the tall ceilings with these beautiful wooden beams, the natural light,” says Kat. “I want to take these items and complement them with more natural finishes to create a comfortable and cozy feeling.”
To reproduce the “warm tones” of the room, Charlene suggested a combination of pieces from the Sicotas Savanna collection, made with high -reach cane and their case collection with wave panels.
One of Kat’s main priorities was the introduction of some shelves, so she and Charlene van sandwiching this console table between two of the shelves that coincide below: the perfect mixture of hidden and open storage.
“Depending on the time of the day, you will look different like the sun’s bundles of the furniture,” says Charlene, who chose the case collection inspired by the Cassiopeia constellation to take advantage of the oversized windows of the room and a wide sunlight.
To fill the center of the room, Charlene chose this cane coffee table from the Savanna de Sicotas collection. For a little contrast at the top, Kat placed a Alabaster white bowl filled with moss spheres, along with a pile of ivory color books and some smaller accent pieces to combine them.
“We definitely wanted to bring many of these natural textures to complement the architecture of space,” says Kat. “We found many of the accessories, but it started with the finishes of the Sicotas collection.”
The next stop was the bedroom, which was low in the storage space and did not offer Brooke to any proper work configuration from home.
“We really have to open this space a little more,” Kat said. “The pieces we bring should be a little more functional.”
While the old Brooke Oak’s night boards mixed on the brick wall of the bedroom, these from the Opus de Sicotas collection create a good contrast, making the whole room feel more finished.
“I love that this style can go with so many types of design,” says Kat on night tables, which has a fluid finish inspired by the keys of a piano.
Charlene and Kat chose to change the little sofa at the foot of Brooke bed, replacing it with two of these shoe banks.
“Functionally, they are really fantastic. We wanted to put something at the end of the bed where you could sit and put your shoes, and it also has a lot of storage,” says Kat.
On the opposite side of the room, Charlene and Kat brought this cane dresser to introduce a little texture and color, while also offering a lot of storage.
“You can use it to store clothes, but also as a television support,” says Charlene. Beats Looking at a white white wall!
“You can use it as a vanity, as a work space, though you want,” Kat says about this elegant desktop. “At the moment we put a small stool, but it could always change -in a chair.”
