Phoebe Kut, who has nearly 200K followers on her TikTok account, @pbjdesign, used all the tips and tricks she shares online to completely upgrade Anton Fredriksson's 330-square-foot New York City rental on a tight budget. She incorporated DIY projects, shopped secondhand, and chose multipurpose pieces to pull off the transformation for just $5,000. “The black-and-white photo behind the sofa is of the apartment building, taken in the 1900s,” Kut shares. The first thing Kut did was warm up the living room by painting the wall a muted olive tone, Texas Sage by Benjamin Moore. For the sofa, Kut opted for a modular pale gray Burrow number that tucks into the corner for comfortable lounging and doubles as a twin bed for overnight visitors.
