The owner of a redesigned home in Washington, DC, has an unwavering obsession with European design (we can relate) and is willing to source everywhere to get it. Up until now that she enlisted designers Studio Oink from Leipzig, Germany, and had a load of EU products assembled and delivered by cage. The tiny guest bed room (under 100 square feet) includes a curtained-off daybed, a custom-made desk, and a wall of storage. As with the rest of the house, Studio Oink dealt with a Flemish color palette and integrated high European design. The outcome is a little piece of Belgium (or Germany, or Italy, or Sweden for that matter) in DC. Here’s a list of design sources that comprise the look.
Above: Parked at the custom desk is a steel chair from Belgian husband-and-wife group Hannes Van Severen and Fien Muller. The owner and designers both welcomed the financial investment of design-as-art, the chair being among them. The curtains throughout the bed room are Kinnasand Como (a discontinued linen material with a metallic weave), that work on a track.

Above: The L-shaped setup is half millwork(a custom-made desk with storage) and half off-the-shelf (an unattended wood bed frame)that appear as if one piece, thanks to the same paint color and finish.
