| This space uses its owner’s expansive collection of CDs, DVDs, magazines, books, film posters and whatnot as the primary surfaces of the room. Ceiling tracks (you can get them at Ikea for $20 per 55 inches) allow for movable partitions that function as curtains, doors and wallpaper—and also act as storage for this guy’s Tarantino-esque obsession. |
Screening room
 |
| The film posters are hung from fabric-hanging rods that slide along the tracks (behind them is a bookshelf; see below). It might be small, but the space should accommodate buddies who come over to watch movies, read and dance. What’s more, given the occupant’s constant A/V output, he’s likely to have sensory ADD—hence movable partitions that continuously reinvent the look of the place. |
Library
 |
| The modular furniture—a bed, two console tables and stools—can be easily rearranged to allow the room to serve various purposes. When slid over the bed, one of the console tables (which can be made by combining the Ikea Lack shelving unit for the top and the Ikea Malm table for the bottom) functions as a backrest, turning it into a double-sided couch. Look for more furniture like this at West Elm, CB2 and Amscor. |
Party space
 |
| CDs and DVDs can be placed in common, clear Case Logic sleeves—the kind usually kept in binders. The sleeves were affixed with a heavy-duty stapler to extra-long clear shower curtains from Bed Bath & Beyond (it won’t look crappy-DIY if done carefully). Then throw on the new Britney (ironically) and spend whatever you didn’t blow at Virgin on beer. |

Am I the only person who thought the fashion maven's place looked barren and cramped? I have just such a studio so I appreciate the tips and think the 'Entertainer' made the most of the space -- though ya cheated with the murphy bed (how many of us can afford the thousands of dollars they cost to install?) More practical solution is the sofa bed with an upgrade to an air mattress.

Original approach to using the wardrobe of the "fashion maven" as a design and color element.

I want that closet!!! The kitchen might be a bit difficult. How does one get a glass of wine there?
