Kirstin Hoffman and her partner Matt are former New Yorkers, recently transplanted to Seattle. When the two relocated, they relished the opportunity to start fresh in a new space, one that would allow them to rethink their style and create a space that they both truly loved. The process was not without its challenges. Like many urban-dwelling couples, the two had to come to terms with their respective styles (Kirstin is a self-proclaimed bohemian while Matt is a hard-lined Minimalist) and the small confines of their new one-bedroom apartment. “We wanted to keep things simple and modern and take advantage of the great natural light,” Kirstin says. “It’s really important to me to have a space that is beautiful, comfortable and makes me smile.” Both Kirstin and Matt lead active lifestyles and love the outdoors, something that was ultimately reflected in the space. “It’s a mostly neutral palette with a few hints of blues, greens and soft pinks inspired by the ocean, mountains and desert.” Given their new locale’s penchant for overcast skies and rainy days, the choice was perfect. Take a closer look at the space below!

Kirstin and Matt created a cozy living room by pairing a sectional, a Moroccan-style rug, and west elm’s space-saving Clover Coffee Table. A complementary pouf provides extra seating when necessary. Kristen made the Shibori pillow covers on the sectional herself.
