Meet Caleb Screpnek: The Canadian Behind Berlin's Most Eccentric Apartment
Caleb Screpnek, a Canadian transplant to Berlin, has made a name for himself with his unique and eccentric apartment in the city's Prenzlauer Berg neighborhood. Known for his 'kitsch maximalism' and 'bohemian grandma' style, Screpnek's home is a reflection of his artistic personality and a testament to his eye for detail.
Screpnek, who moved to Berlin in 2014 and into his current apartments for rent in 2016, is particularly fond of its hardwood floors and ornate molding along the painted ceilings. His decorating style is evident throughout the space, with every room filled with creativity and style. The salon, his favorite room, houses beloved antiques, a treehouse nook, and a DJ booth, showcasing his eclectic taste.
Screpnek's obsession with detail is evident in his sourcing of unique items from flea markets and Kleinanzeigen. Despite having 67 plants, not a single one in his apartment is real, adding to the overall artistic atmosphere. His advice for furniture shopping in Berlin includes being patient, using saved searches on eBay Kleinanzeigen, and arriving early at Mauerpark on Sundays.
Screpnek's apartment is a true reflection of his artistic identity in a city known for its artists and eccentrics. The golden wheelchair and portrait of Princess Diana are among the most commented-on objects, adding to the home's unique charm. While the exact location of his apartment remains private, exploring Screpnek's social media or official channels might provide more insights into his artistic journey in Berlin.
