Inventor and product designer Simone Giertz of popular youtube channel @simonegiertz has turned her compact Los Angeles home into a functional, playful space that reflects her inventive spirit and Swedish roots. Embracing imperfections like uneven walls, custom designs maximise every inch from a bed platform with built-in storage to a staircase that doubles as shoe and jacket storage. A modular shelving unit, dual-purpose puzzle table, and size adjustable fruit bowl are just a few of her creative solutions. A handcrafted stained glass window, inspired by a lemon tree, adds charm, while a plant-inspired lamp and a “plant stripper pole” blends practicality with whimsy.
