It’s a top-tier fantasy of any New Yorker to find ahidden room in their home. But for a certain subset of DIY-savvy apartment dwellers, that extra room is hiding in plain sight, in a hallway or a corner of the bedroom. The closet transformation is a mainstay of home-renovation videos on social media, and, as L’Oreal Thompson Payton found, with a few more shelves and some good lighting, a fair number of New Yorkers have made a decent bedroom or the perfect, soundproof podcasting studio out of their closets. This story is the first in a series that Curbed is running this week, dedicated to how people actually make their small spaces work — from hosting big feasts out of their tiny kitchens to the home-décor influencers who have made their apartments into their day jobs.\xa0 |
