Ron Marvin
Mon, 2 Apr 2007The thing that I love about Ron Marvin's work is that this look is so achievable. Ron worked for many years for American household names Gap, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, West Elm, Hold Everything, and Williams-Sonoma Home. He is now an interior designer practicing in New York. He has an excellent eye for the vignette and packs a lot of punch in a very small space. Watch the Small Space, Big Style video on his website to see his gorgeous 250 square feet New York apartment. Lots of ideas to steal here.

I LOOOOVE all the black/white framed photography!! That kitchen photo is so cute.
I really like the look of his work - so thrown together so-to-speak and as you say "achievable" I'm off to look at his site now. Thanks for the intro!!!

This weekend I have been reading most of your posts, and you have so INSPIRED ME! thanks for the great post.
with more and more condos going up and living spaces becoming smaller and smaller it's great to see such inspiring designs done in as small as 250 sq.ft. of living space. (if that's living space at all) Haha.
i saw him on small space,big style and the place looked awesome.
I saw that episode too! I thought his place looked familiar.
OK - I just noticed Jo mentionned SSBS in the intro. Maybe I should read before opening my big mouth. I think my sister watched that episode and now wants to paint her house that beige/off-white. (*boring*)
You guys come up with the greatest names, really beautiful work
I just counted the number of lamps he has in his NY studio and it was 9 that I could see. Hah! and people laugh at me when I say I used to live in a 1 bedroom apartment with 13 lamps. God I have a lamp fetish!!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with beige - it just makes all your stuff look so good since the colour is quite plain. You just wait and see...we get the new house tomorrow. WOOHOO!!! And the beige painting begins...Kim you helping?
I'm sorry but who is this Julia person and why is she asking me to help her paint????!!!!!!!
"self-confessed lamp tramp."
hahaha. i can relate.
Your website is one of the few websites that truly deserves its name and I am fascinated by your findings. Thanks so much for sharing Ron Marvin design with us, I could not help but to check the photos of his apt and I wish I had this link before I moved out from my UES - 250sf apt. :-((
Listen here twin sister...you can get out of painting only by taking on babysitting duties - your pick!
BABYSITTING!!!!!! (I've done enough of my own painting - sick to death of it)
Eric..."lamp tramp" - LOVE THAT
Thanks for nice comment NY Muhtari!
