A Garage Makeover for Studio 790: From Dark and Dreary to Bright and Inspiring
Table of Contents
Studio 790, a Miami-based interior design studio led by Ann and her talented team, is known for creating beautiful, livable spaces for busy families and professionals. One of the transformations, however, was personal – a renovation of Ann’s home garage into her dream studio. As an intentional decision, Ann wanted her first studio to be inside her home, reflecting her deep connection to the spaces she designs.
I wanted my first studio as an interior designer to be inside of my home. Because home – mine and those I get to play a role in designing – is where it all begins.
But there was a challenge: the garage was dark and felt like an afterthought. The space was in desperate need of attention and creativity. To turn this neglected part of her home into a bright and inspiring studio, Ann chose to use Bodaq Interior Film, a product known for its versatility, durability, and stunning aesthetic appeal.

The Design Vision: Using Bodaq to Brighten and Beautify
To breathe life into the dark garage, Ann and her team at Studio 790 selected a combination of Bodaq Interior Film patterns to give different areas of the studio unique, stylish finishes. With the help of Chaille Design Solutions, the project’s installer, the team was able to bring the vision to life, creating a functional yet beautiful space.
Key design elements included:
NS804 Nero Marquina Marble
This bold, luxurious marble pattern was used for the backsplash and the kitchen island, which also doubles as the studio’s meeting table. The deep black of the Nero Marquina with delicate white veining added sophistication and a touch of elegance to the space.
NS814 Cremano Arabescato
The kitchen countertop and the meeting table leg were wrapped in this exquisite marble pattern. Its white base with subtle gray veining provided a clean, modern contrast to the darker elements in the space.
S214 Cool Mint Green
To complement the fridge, this soft yet vibrant green shade was chosen for the kitchen cabinets. The refreshing color not only brightened the space but also added a sense of calm and creativity, perfect for a design studio.
SPW45 Oak
For the storage cabinets, upper kitchen cabinets, and the inside of the display cases, this beautiful oak finish brought warmth and texture to the studio. The natural wood look grounded the design, adding balance to the brighter colors and sleek finishes.
A Collaborative Success: The Power of Interior Film
This transformation wouldn’t have been possible without the skillful installation by Chaille Design Solutions and the creativity of Studio 790. The use of Bodaq Interior Film allowed Ann and her team to create a functional yet visually striking space, perfect for inspiring new design ideas and hosting clients.
By using Bodaq, the project was not only aesthetically successful but also practical. The film’s durability and ease of maintenance make it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas like the kitchen and meeting spaces. The installation was smooth, and the result is a space that feels brand new without the need for extensive renovations or expensive materials.
The Results: A Beautiful, Functional Studio Space
The transformation of Ann’s home garage into the vibrant Studio 790 is a testament to the power of thoughtful design and innovative materials like Bodaq Interior Film. Once dark and overlooked, the space is now filled with light, color, and creativity. It is not just a studio, but a reflection of Ann’s philosophy: that home is where everything begins.
