At age seven, he painted his bathroom pink and turquoise, and soon moved on to the rest of his house. He\u2019s been reinventing objects and spaces ever since, from flea market finds to friends\u2019 homes. But it wasn\u2019t until 2011, when he stumbled upon a job and on-screen role as style guru Emily Henderson\u2019s assistant on HGTV\u2019s \u201cSecrets from a Stylist,\u201d that his passion finally became his profession. Fast forward seven years, the Los Angeles-based stylist has designed homes for clients across the country, become an <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/mrorlandosoria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram fan favorite<\/a> thanks to his humor and unfiltered voice, and recently published his first book, \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Get-Together-Interior-Designers-Creating\/dp\/3791383701\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1523886949&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=get+it+together+orlando+soria&amp;dpID=6137Gb8svLL&amp;preST=_SX218_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&amp;dpSrc=srch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Get it Together!: An Interior Designer\u2019s Guide to Living Your Best Life<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the surface, it seems like he\u2019s had no problem getting it together. That was far from the truth 18 months ago, when both passion and profession betrayed him. He lost his job just after his partner ended their long-term relationship, leaving him depressed and scrambling for a new place to live on a budget. Not so easy when you\u2019ve just spent the last three years pouring yourself into building a life\u2014and a dream home\u2014with someone else.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/dsc_0431.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0431\" class=\"wp-image-8507\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know what they say about life and lemons, though. Something about renting a French chateau-style apartment in West Hollywood, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/m\/handyman\/painting?utm_source=org_soc&amp;utm_medium=blg&amp;utm_campaign=insp_spc&amp;utm_content=orlando&amp;utm_term=painting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">repainting<\/a> the \u201cdingy, butter-yellow-beige&#8221; walls, replacing the outdated wrought-iron lighting, and completely gutting and redoing the kitchen, all while rebuilding the rest of his life. At least that\u2019s what Orlando did. Through heartbreak, he seized the opportunity to experiment with a completely different style from the sleek, modern condo he shared with his ex. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI see designing a space as a way to create a beautiful, well-organized palette where you can live your life,\u201d Orlando explains. \u201cIt might not seem like something that should be a priority during a stressful or sad time in your life, but it\u2019s a way to show care and respect for yourself. You\u2019re making your space beautiful because you think you deserve it.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orlando channeled his devastation into a cozy, old-meets-new-school apartment with a \u201cCalifornia eclectic\u201d style that is unapologetically his own. From the peacock blue velvet sofa to the bold pink triangle painted in the fake fireplace (a tribute to ACT UP, a gay rights movement), every design choice was solely up to him. Read on to see how Orlando built a new home in \u201cChateaulando,\u201d a post-breakup sanctuary that helped him get it together again.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/3-living-room.jpg\" alt=\"3-living room\" class=\"wp-image-8553\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Old Hollywood, new Orlando<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the apartment building was constructed in the 1920\u2019s, the unit was a jumbled mess of 1980\u2019s tile and mid-century cabinetry when Orlando first found it. Rather than ignore the building&#8217;s origins, he decided to juxtapose the traditional space with contemporary items to balance age and character with crisp lines and fresh design. The sleek blue couch contrasts nicely with the living room\u2019s original crown moldings, while the bright Roman shades (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/m\/handyman\/shelf-mounting?utm_source=org_soc&amp;utm_medium=blg&amp;utm_campaign=insp_spc&amp;utm_content=orlando&amp;utm_term=mounting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hung by a Tasker<\/a>) add a pop of color to the traditional white kitchen. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou don\u2019t want to go so vintage that it looks like it\u2019s a set from a TV show about a different era, but you don\u2019t want so few vintage items that it looks like everything was just bought out of the same store and lacks personality, age, and character,\u201d he says.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"8523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0300-scaled-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0300-scaled-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0300-scaled-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0300-scaled-320x480.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0300-scaled-scaled.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"8515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0126-scaled-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0126-scaled-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0126-scaled-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0126-scaled-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0126-scaled-scaled.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0126-scaled-720x480.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"8537\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0255-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0255-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0255-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0255-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0255-scaled.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/copy-of-dsc_0255-720x480.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Designing for rentals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI don\u2019t ever think that designing your space and making it beautiful for yourself is a waste of money,\u201d Orlando says.

The walls bear many of his own pieces, including a DIY piece over his bed made completely from hardware store items and a series of turquoise circle and triangle paintings in the living room and bedroom.
