Pretty meets practical in a 900-square-foot condo for two
Creating the perfect balance
Follow designer Chrissy Cottrell's 10 tips to creating a home that appeals to both genders.
1 Think pink

2 Select streamlined pieces
Minimalist furnishings ensure this small dining area doesn’t feel cramped. A sleek oval Saarinen-style dining table, paired with iconic Eames chairs, seats six without taking up too much visual space. Stemware and bottles stay neatly tucked away in the narrow built-in bar but can be put on display when the couple entertains.
