“It was a industrial canvas with lots of stone and wood texture,” begins Chandra Hampton of the 630-square-foot, one-bedroom Washington, D.C., loft she purchased in 2021.

“I’m a music curator, so having a space that inspires creativity is a must for me. The airiness of the space, the natural light, and the high ceilings allow a heightened listening experience when I’m enjoying music or when I’m on my turntables,” she writes. “As most creatives can tell you, having a flexible space that you can constantly rearrange also feeds the creative mind.

"The windows sold me on the place. Two of the large windows are actually French doors," In the spring and fall, Chandra opens the doors for fresh air. The rug and emerald sofa are from Amazon, and the white chair is from Article.

“I wanted to celebrate the features of my loft while adding my aesthetic. My home is a direct reflection of who I am: airy yet grounded, earthy with a pop of color and wrapped in subtle edginess,” Chandra writes. “Overall, my goal when decorating is based on how it makes me feel each time I walk through the front door; and I can honestly say that I smile every day at what I’ve designed.”
