Christopher Grimston couldn’t wait to transform his Corktown space into what he calls a ‘living loft’

Some would have been daunted by the space, with its stark white walls, high ceilings ranging from 10 to 20 feet, and complete lack of room dividers. But the brand and marketing consultant – a collector and connoisseur of quirky pieces that tell stories, and he likes to think, hold secrets – couldn’t wait to transform it into what he calls a “living loft.”
His dining room, for instance, is roughly 200 square feet and he’s used a vintage wood cabinet to define that space. “I use the curio cabinet as a soft demarcation [from the living room], and I’ve made it more curious by filling it with only white objects.” “Convention would say that space should have two pieces of art. Not me; I hung 10. Some people think if you put too many things on the wall the space becomes too confining. That might be true,” he says. “But I think because my space is all open, lots of art makes it far more interesting.”
