Dead spaces in our homes are full of untapped potential. These underutilized corners and oddly shaped alcoves present the perfect opportunity to integrate a piece of art and completely transform our interiors. Chrissy Teigen and John Legend demonstrate this concept with a stunning design beneath their stairs.
The couple's Beverly Hills residence is home to the 'Lily Pad Tree' sculpture by Nacho Carbonell. Its position beneath their curved staircase simultaneously highlights the beauty of the stairs' organic shape and brings a natural warmth to an otherwise empty space. As an artist who designs furniture-like sculptures, Carbonell's works are always in conversation with their surroundings. Homes & Gardens interviewed the artist at the opening for his 'Escaping Forward' exhibition at the Carpenters Workshop Gallery to understand how he views this intersection and how it works in Legend and Teigen's home.
