Sorry, “Girls.” When it comes to home design, the latest breakout star of the HBO series belongs to one of the guys: the apartment of Marnie’s wet-noodle of a boyfriend, Charlie.

“It looks awesome in here,” Marnie says upon seeing the studio for the first time, even though they have been a couple since 2007. “It looks like a Target ad. It’s perfect.”

“A Target ad?” an annoyed Charlie responds, showing a hint of an emerging backbone. “It’s not quite a Target ad, but whatever.”

Whatever, indeed. Charlie’s apartment turns out to be more complex than Marnie could imagine. Conceived by production designer Laura Ballinger Gardner, submitted to series creator Lena Dunham for her approval and then built from scratch — all in just four days — the fictional 12-by-12 studio set in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn is a character unto itself.

I’m glad I’m the not the only one who had a HUGE apartment boner for this set up.
