I've seen sprawling homes with less style than a single end table in this home. Best of all, proud owner Matt has only occupied this space for a year. Yet in that mere 12 months he has custom outfitted this Melrose apartment with a very confident designer hand.

Notice that aside from the bold paper covering the dining room walls, the apartment walls are white. To accentuate the height of the ceiling and showcase the architecture, his silk drapes run nearly floor to ceiling. In fact, he's hung them exactly as I like to hang mine.

And while the space feels wholly ecclectic, even someone with a penchant for order like myself is calmed by his spot-on use of symmetry. Just the right amount without ever veering into the HGTV Zone.

What does the owner have to say about his space? It's worth a laugh just to hear him:

My style: Confused. I love so many things so I buy them all and through them together. Maybe my style is Rainbow Coalition?

Inspiration: I look at magazines, go to auctions and showrooms, and have talented friends. Basically, I rip any and everybody off.

Dream source: I have a new piece of dream furniture everyday. Buying things fills the aching hole in my soul. Is it too early for a cocktail? Love going to Lawson Fenning, Blackman Cruz, Orange, Twentieth. But above all else, I love ebay. Cant get enough.

Best Organizing Tip: Hire a housekeeper. I’m lost without mine. Lupe! I love you!

Can't get enough of him? Neither can I. Head on over to ATLA and see what else Matt (and his glorious surroundings) had to say.
