Want to know the secret to giving a tiny apartment a big personality? Crowd it with objects, splash it with color, and pile on the patterns, an equation that distracts the eye as much as it delights the soul. At least, that’s the philosophy of Carlos Mota (@casamotachic), the globe-trotting stylist turned decorator and consultant. His latest domestic scenario is a new Manhattan home base, a 700-square-foot flat in a voluptuous Beaux Arts mansion that had been built in the late 1800s for a construction magnate. What the space lacks in scale, he has more than made up for in atmosphere. Step inside the #AD100 designer's eclectic home at the link in our bio.
