Interior Design — Tour An Eclectic SoHo Loft Filled With Personality

Take a peek inside designer and shop owner Michele Varian‘s eclectic loft in New York’s SoHo neighborhood. See how she created a home for her and husband Brad Roberts of the Canadian band, Crash Test Dummies, that reflects both of their artistic personalities.

The 1890s-era loft is filled with character and one-of-a-kind finds, many of them found on the couple’s extensive travels. The front of the loft, where they’ve set up their home offices, features large windows that look out onto Broadway and flood natural light into the space. The decor in the home is colorful, eclectic and layered with flea-market finds and vintage pieces in every corner. Exposed brick walls, patterned wallpaper and boho textiles bring energy to the space.

This is a real home that is lived in with personality. Im a New Yorker and live in a loft like this and I love it.

[jrbon]

Love that. The home reflects their personalities and does not need to be like everyone else.

Love eclectic spaces, it tells a story of the folks living there

For ME, it's a bit too much but I do love how warm and personal this space is.  I'm so tired to white bathrooms and kitchens so this is a breath of fresh air.

"So much clutter!" I didn't think it was cluttered at all. It was just full of a lot of amazing things. Some people like to be surrounded by things they love. To some people, that's "clutter"...if you don't like it, fine. But some people do. Not every home has to be spotless, everything white, minimalist.

You are so right. I’m sick of all this minimalist way to live. You can still be organised and live with the things you love. X

I was mostly through the video till I realized this was a home. I thought it was a store. I do like the "put together" look. A little too much for me but the idea is great. Obviously she likes it and that's what counts.

I am loving this, it is eclectic, bohemian, fun and full of personality.

I remember seeing this kitchen in one of the books by apartment therapy and drooling over it. ita beautiful!!

[denisecarvill]

I love this home. There’s so much personality, musicianship and artistry. What’s not to like. It’s individual! Magnificent. Like no other. Exactly right!

[wunderland]

"I don't NEED to be like everybody else" - thank you!

I have travelled alot and I love mixing my finds with new things and vintage pieces. I realize it is not for everyone but I don't care because it brings me joy when I look around my place.

OMG! I love Crash Test Dummies, and listened to them while growing up.

I love this loft! My friend actually lived in Brad's old apartment on Broadway street in Winnipeg. He actually got mail addressed to Brad Roberts! Lol. They definitely have very interesting and beautiful taste and I would love to live there! Very inspiring!

[marcia.mizuno]
