Though much of the space is focused
around darker features, like the grey ceiling,
the deep chocolate floors and the grey and
brown pieces throughout the room, like
the meerkat artwork above the sofa, it is
lightened up by the pale walls and yellow
couch. The large area rug has each of the
colors blended together, tying the colors of
the space together. In the corner, the room
proves to be for entertaining with a serving
cart and tray bar.
"There's a nice amalgamation of different
colors and aesthetic," Santiago explained.
"I like to be cohesive from point-of-entry to
the whole layout of the house. So, the color
scheme was pretty much grounded by the
color of the sofa. The meerkat picture was
commissioned by a friend of mine, Billy
Ehret, because at the time, Meerkat Manor
was a big show, so that's where that came
from. That was really to compliment the
color palette, the love for the show at the
time, and the love of meerkats, if you have
watched the show, you know that they are
really cool animals."
