Eva’s home is full of contrasts— minimal yet warm, monochromatic yet colorful, free of clutter yet full of life. The control she has over the space is far from cold or stiff. She manages to create a sparse space that is still infused with warmth, meaning and life. Her home is an inviting place of gathering for friends, family and her four friendly pets.
