Already featured in the October issue of ‘Casa și grădina’ magazine, this beautiful apartment has a story we were eager to share with you. The owners have become our friends and that is why the final result is exactly as we imagined.
When we met, they told us they wanted color and lots of storage space, we insisted on quality and details that were close to perfection. The apartment had already been renovated, so we decided to keep the interior doors but change the interior design. The tiles in the kitchen and the dark parquet in the rest of the rooms were replaced with new, light gray parquet.
We chose the basic colors together: gray, ocher and turquoise. From here the entire arrangement started and the owners completely respected the project we elaborated. We wandered together through showrooms and stores to find the perfect “gray”, and the right shade of furniture. Each of them must blend in perfect harmony, ensuring that the colors do not differ from one another in any way. For the furniture, we worked together with the team from Kubik Design, those who made sure that in the end each piece of furniture respected the colors decided together with the owners and combined glossy white MDF with turquoise, ocher and purple accents, in the bedroom’s case.
For the living room, we chose a geometric rug from Ikea. The curtains were custom-made to match our simulation, and the empty spaces in the library are still waiting to be filled with drawings by Carla, the family’s 5-year-old. The chair belongs to Pufi, the newest member of the family, a 6-month-old cat.
Pufi was the star of the photo shoot, having only been in his owners’ lives for a week.
The kitchen is also designed to hide all the less aesthetic elements. The apartment’s heating system is hidden in a piece of furniture and the radiator is hidden by the cast Corian countertop in which the ventilation holes were cut. The sink is cast, large, and deep enough, exactly as the owners desired. The wall was covered with white glass and our favorite piece is the kitchen table. This is because it can be used both against the wall and as a coffee table, thanks to an intelligent rotation system designed by Kubik Design.

It may already sound cliché that we like apartments that feel like home, but that’s the feeling we got when we met up with the owners after the project was completed. Right from the entrance, everything is super cozy, colorful and bright, far from the drab feeling of the gray and monotonous apartment buildings.
