What makes the difference between a space you forget instantly after seeing it and one that sticks in your head for days, months, or even years? Designers say it comes down to dimension.
In practice, there's no better demonstration of this principle than Drew Barrymore's living room - her space is a three-dimensional exploration of art, the written word, and the limits of built-in shelving. We spotted the actress's library-like space in a recent Instagram post documenting her Olivia Dean dance party, but couldn't stop staring at the background. Every shelf is filled to the brim with colorful books and layered with framed artwork illuminated by picture lights.
