The most important aspect of any interior design project is the family for whom it is created and the overall context. The house that we will present in this article was designed for a young family, with one child, who wanted a functional kitchen, with enough storage space, an airy and minimalist living area in terms of colors, bedrooms as free as possible from furniture and simple but elegant bathrooms. In this context, the final result is a unique design that combines functionality with carefully selected furniture and a few accent colors.

The entrance to the house leads directly into the living area, where the living room, dining area, and kitchen openly connect with one another. In order for the space to be orderly, as well as visually surprising, we chose unitary finishes: light-colored parquet and white walls, and as for the furniture we opted for tones of gray and beige, combined with black (the kitchen).

The kitchen is organized in an L-shape with custom-made furniture. The window area was left open to allow as much light as possible to flood the space. The matte black furniture (similar to the window joinery) gives the feeling of an orderly and airy space.

For a tidy look, the kitchen furniture was designed with milled handles. The worktop area is extended by the small island. This kitchen design provides minimal visibility over the worktop from and to the living room. All appliances are integrated into the furniture, and for the wall in the worktop area, we chose gray finishes to create a seamless connection with the dining and living areas. The kitchen lighting fixtures give the space an industrial look.

The entire ground floor of the house is decorated in a cohesive style, in beige and gray tones, which are found both in the overall decoration and in the furniture. The entire space is utilized to its maximum potential – we integrated a generous sofa and a table for six people on the ground floor. The TV was placed on the wall between the windows, so that there is visibility from all the corners of the living room space. For a dynamic effect, the wall behind the TV was enhanced with a decorative wallpaper in gray tones. The yellow armchair, the coffee table, the chest of drawers in the TV area and the chest of drawers in the dining zone harmoniously complement the entire space.

The master bedroom is decorated in a modern, simple and minimalist style. The ribbing panels behind the bed and the contrast between the two walls to the left and right of the bed add a touch of refinement to the bedroom and inspire the feeling of a restful, welcoming and airy space. The mirrors applied to the wooden ribbing provide depth to the space and visually enlarge it. The bed in the master bedroom has a simple and modern shape, being upholstered for added comfort. At floor level, the carpet is asymmetrical in relation to the ribbing behind the bed, but symmetrical with the gray wall.

For the child’s room, we took into account the age and concerns of the little one and adapted the color palette as well as the features. Therefore, the child’s room is flooded with white, blue and pale pink. The functional layout can also be noticed here, meaning that the room is divided into a rest area and a play/study area. The rest area is composed of the blue Montessori bed, and the wall behind it is decorated with plywood that resembles clouds. The play/study area features a small table with a chair, while the shelves on this wall serve to maintain order. The cabinets were chosen to cover the entire wall next to the door, and all the room’s furnishings were made in a manner that keeps the center of the room as free as possible.

The guest bedroom is simply decorated in shades of blue. The wall behind the bed as well as the rug add dynamism and depth to the space. Here too, the bed features upholstery for extra comfort.

The three bathrooms are designed in harmony with the rest of the house. For an extra touch of elegance, we chose a dark gray ceramic tile for the first bathroom. Additionally, for a neat and timeless look, the furniture was chosen to have the same shade as the walls.

The second bathroom is also elegantly designed, thanks to marble-look finishes. For a dynamic effect, we chose a mosaic-type cladding for the shower area and for the wall behind the mirror.

The third bathroom is minimalist, with ceramic tiles in shades of gray and beige, a mosaic wall, a bathtub and a free-standing washbasin. For optimal storage, we opted to build a cabinet into the wall above the toilet.

The result is functional, harmonious, welcoming and, without a doubt, will last over time, thanks to the high-quality furniture, sanitary ware and finishes.

Most of us are used to apartments or houses with shared bathrooms, made up of standard, white sanitary ware. But what if the bathroom became more than just a functional space? What if we could breathe new life into the bathroom, making it vibrant, full of color and style, with colorful sanitary ware? Fortunately, now it is possible!

Currently, we have the opportunity to choose from a wide range of colored sanitary ware that has begun to appear on the Romanian market. There is a wide range of colors and shapes, textures and materials different from the classic glossy white ceramics so that you can design your bathroom exactly according to your taste. Washbasins, toilets, bathtubs are no longer just strictly functional objects: with the right choice they play an extremely important role in the aesthetics and ambiance of the bathroom.

Copper is one of the most popular finishes for bathroom fixtures, whether it’s pink copper for an elegant ambiance or reddish copper for a rustic ambiance. Bathroom fixtures with copper finishes work well in bathrooms decorated in a white-gray color scheme with marble elements or, for an industrial ambiance, with concrete-finished walls.

For those who love art and want a truly special bathroom, hand-painted ceramic sanitary ware is the ideal choice! Talavera ceramics, as its name suggests, is a type of ceramic that is characterized by hand-painting with natural pigments of yellow, green, purple, blue and black on a white ceramic base. Therefore, sanitary ware with decorative paintings will become statement pieces in any bathroom!

A truly special typology, but also the newest and most well-known, is represented by the colored sanitary ware from the collection DALET Color, signed by the famous designer Karim Rashid, in the portfolio Delta Studio.

Powder pink, ocher or green, are sophisticated shades intended for the smart luxury segment, allowing for the design of a minimalist, classic or modern bathroom.

And if you decided to change your attic’s role, we have prepared some tips and ideas meant to inspire you in the process of transforming this space into a unique environment.

Attic design offers great versatility when you clearly understand your needs. Let your creativity take the lead and you will see that the attic can be easily transformed into an office, children’s playground, bedroom, living room, guest room, or library.

Attic Living Room Design
Attic living room has become increasingly popular in interior design, especially for people who seek extra privacy and comfort, which an attic offers without any doubts. However, be careful with the furniture you choose so as not to overcrowd the space, especially if you have sloping walls. Opt for cabinets in simple, minimalist lines, wall-mounted shelves, a coffee table and a comfortable sofa. Thus, you can create the unique atmosphere you desire.

Designing an Attic Home Office
The office you want to create in the attic must be very well lit, functional and offer optimal conditions for a high level of productivity. Opt for a generous desk and a comfortable chair, many wall-mounted shelves where you can store all the things you need to properly carry out your work. If space allows, set up a place to relax for breaks between emails: choose a sofa or a corner sofa and a bookcase. Install tall floor lamps in the corners of the attic to create a calming atmosphere.

Designing an Attic Bedroom
Transforming your attic into a bedroom is a great option if you’re looking for a secluded and private sleeping space. The attic bedroom can be both a child’s bedroom or a guest room as well. If you have sloping walls, it’s best to position the bed along the lowest wall to maximize the remaining space. To visually enlarge the space, paint the walls and the ceiling in light shades, then add lighting fixtures in order to create a calm, relaxing and intimate atmosphere.

Attic Playroom
The attic can be the ideal place for children. Therefore, setting up a playground here can be an excellent choice. Choose a harmonious color scheme and combine neutral and subtle shades with colorful accents. Choose functional and playful furniture, colorful rugs, but set up a study corner with a desk and bookcase as well, for those moments when children should be focused on studying.

Choosing the Right Furniture for Your Attic
Regardless of the role that the attic plays in your house, you should know that this space does not require many furniture pieces, but rather needs a simple and minimalist arrangement. To ensure the furniture blends seamlessly into your space and maximizes every corner, opt for custom-made furniture. Adding a few decorative elements, such as pillows, candles or frames that illustrate your favorite images or quotes, would be a great choice of customizing your space.

Color Palette for the Attic
Most of the time, attics are not very large and they do not receive much natural light. That is why we recommend selecting a color scheme rich in light and neutral tones, to visually enlarge the space.

Lighting in the Attic
For artificial lighting, we recommend simple lighting systems – light bulbs with shades or simple ones, lamps and table lamps made of natural materials, wall lamps and spotlights placed in various places so as to inspire the atmosphere you want. When it comes to natural light, the attic gives you the opportunity to install roof windows, creating a dreamy atmosphere.

When a young family buys an apartment, they want the space to feel warm and welcoming, especially in today’s conditions, which calls for a variety of design styles. We proposed a warm and bright approach for a 3-bedroom apartment, with a total area of ​​90sqm, based on accents with wooden textures. The owners, a young family with a child, desired a modern and warm environment, a functional decor. Although the kitchen is open to the living room and hallway, we arranged the space in a manner that allows everything necessary for the kitchen to exist without affecting the final image of the setting.

Bright and Modern Apartment Designed in Dubai

The warm and welcoming image of a home can be noticed from the entrance. In this case, the hallway was decorated and furnished in a way that reflects a warm environment, of wood. In addition to the wooden parquet and the chest of drawers at the entrance, the wooden ribbing continues the textures and shades of wood, vertically. The environment is enhanced by a generous bookcase and storage spaces in gray tones, custom-made according to the recipients’ needs.

The kitchen, open to the hallway and living room, was designed as a cohesive space, with the same key combination of gray and wood textures used in the hallway. The large and tall windows allow natural light to properly flood the space. The lack of a dividing wall allowed us to install an island as a dining area. We created two worktop zones and sufficient storage space in both the suspended and lower cabinets. The furniture was created according to the project’s theme.

The living room is separated from the kitchen and hallway area by wooden ribbing. The decor was designed to complement the hallway as well as the kitchen, so we opted for the combination of gray with wooden textures. The living room has a generous sofa and a wooden bookcase, pieces chosen according to this place’s design. The rest of the furniture pieces play the role of enhancing the warm and welcoming atmosphere of this environment. The white curtains and the rocking chair ideally complement the living room and give the environment the feeling of an airy space. Both the fireplace and the wooden logs placed under the bookcase add more texture to the room and highlight the wooden accents stylistic idea. Neutral tones, gray, wooden textures, clean and simple lines predominate in the living room, which leads to the immediate observation of some accents – the decorative pillows and green plants.

For the master bedroom, we chose custom-made furniture. The basic combination in this room consists of white, gray and wooden textures. The personalization was achieved by adding decorative objects. The work area is furnished with only the essentials, serving as both a desk and a dressing table. The bed is framed in white suspended elements that end with wooden suspended bedside tables. Through the shade of the bed upholstery, a new color, namely pale pink, was introduced in this space, perfectly complementing its decor.

The child’s bedroom was decorated in white and wooden textures. The furniture is simple, custom-made, fulfilling the role of both the sleeping area and the play area. The bed zone was personalized by the color of the wall – the chosen mint green shade complements the wooden textures and the white used for the bed.

The bathroom was treated neatly and simply, with unique finishes. We chose ceramic tiles in gray tones for the floor, walls and white sanitary ware. Being a bathroom with a fairly large surface area, we opted for generous storage spaces as well, in wooden textures.

The apartment was entirely modernized, from electrical and heating installations to finishes and bathroom improvements. Therefore, the final result is in line with the owners’ expectations.

Fusion style is a mix of new and old design aspects: pastel shades with bold hues, chandeliers with spotlights, straight lines with curved lines. Fusion style is considered eccentric mainly due to the fact that it combines elements that are so different, but the result it reflects is visually harmonious and pleasant.

One of the advantages of the fusion style is that it be applied using inexpensive solutions, evoking an unexpected atmosphere. Therefore, a velvet or silk cushion, a vintage lamp and an old rug can transform a simple space into a precious and unique one. This style is especially suitable for apartments, due to the fact that it is much easier to implement in small spaces than in houses, for example. The fusion style is very suitable for creative and bold people because it consists of putting your personal stamp on the decor of the space and defining your style.

Harmony and simplicity rule the fusion style. All decorative elements, textures, colors, materials must be in harmony and complement each other into the decor. The fusion style is built from simple, unsophisticated elements that gain their value through quality and age. For example, Persian rugs, velvet curtains, or vintage objects give the space personality and style, perfectly fitting in a room decorated in fusion style.

The fusion style is highlighted by an explosion of color. The specific shades of this style are the visually powerful ones, the ones that add personality, dynamics and life to the space itself: green, turquoise, pink, orange, yellow, gold, or red.

Simple and refined decor, as well as rich and precious textiles play an extremely important role in approaching the fusion style. Decorative pillows covered in velvet or silk, beautifully maintained Persian rugs, generous velvet curtains, and textiles with plant or animal prints can transform a trivial space into a precious, even luxurious one. Vintage decorations and antiques bring a unique charm to the space – a small vase, a candlestick, a vintage lamp, or an old wall clock.

The fusion style consists of a simple approach, it is a plain and comfortable style, with a few precious standard aspects. The fusion style brings together luxury and simplicity, two attributes that even if at first glance seem impossible to merge. They complement each other very well.

Many people can’t decide when it comes to colors and styles in their home decor, but they know that they want a home that offers a sense of well-being, comfort, and warmth. Today, we would like to showcase a 4-bedroom apartment, where we chose a neutral and timeless design approach. In the end, this style beautifully translates into the home’s intimacy, excellently reflecting the owners’ personality and style.

The apartment is divided into an open-plan living area, which includes the kitchen, living room and dining area, along with three other rooms (the master bedroom, the child’s bedroom and the dressing room/office) and two bathrooms. The owners wanted a modern, calm, elegant interior but not too busy or opulent. They wanted it to be functionally arranged and as orderly as possible, a comfortable and harmonious environment.

The entrance hall separates the different areas of the apartment – ​​the day and night areas. For the floor, we chose a light-colored parquet, with walls and doors which are white so that the hall would be as bright as possible. The storage space is generous, and the cabinet doors, placed directly across from the living room, are covered with large mirrors to visually expand the space.

When you step into the living area, your eyes immediately focus on the sofa and dining area. All the furniture in the living room and dining area is placed in a manner that allows the window area to remain unobstructed, so that natural light can flow in as much as possible, creating a sense of greater spaciousness.

All surfaces are decorated with fabrics in neutral colors, with small accents of color (the chairs in the dining area) and generous curtains that amplify the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the state of comfort. The radiator hidden by the ribbing and the column that separates the living room from the kitchen, accessorized with ribbing, enhance the atmosphere. The TV area was decorated with custom-made furniture. Thus, a visual connection was created with the kitchen through similar finishes.

Since the living room is open to the kitchen, we chose to connect the functionality through the dining area, so the kitchen was decorated simply and neutrally. The kitchen has an island with a countertop facing the living room, to supplement the storage space. The furniture is custom-made, and the appliances are incorporated so that the overall aspect is as orderly as possible. To the left of the island, in the free space left next to the refrigerator, we organized a place for glasses. Arranged like a display case, this detail complements the overall design and emphasizes the vertical space.

The master bedroom has been given a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere through the upholstered bed in a pleasant shade of blue and the wall behind the bed, covered with wallpaper in a neutral tone featuring a subtle pattern. The lighting was designed in a manner that enhances the environment, especially in the evening.

The large drapes that we used highlight the room’s vertical space, and the armchair in a strong orange shade enhances the decor. The chest of drawers in front of the bed and the bedside tables were designed without handles, so as to visually harmonize the place and provide the same feeling of orderly space.

The child’s bedroom was designed taking into account both the environment and the decor in the rest of the home, as well as the child’s age. The furniture chosen is white, with generous storage space. The bed was chosen as a playhouse model to enhance the importance of a child’s ​​playing time, and as for the wall behind the bed we chose a white and gray photo wallpaper with a simple pattern.

The fourth room is furnished with a dressing room and a desk, playing a dual role. For the wall behind the sofa, we chose a geometric wallpaper so that the room would be more dynamic. The color scheme complements the entire environment of the apartment. The color accents in the sofa area harmoniously enhance the dynamics of the space.

The child’s bathroom was designed with a built-in bathtub, choosing terrazzo for both the bathtub and the wall behind it. The washbasin furniture was chosen to be suspended, helping to visually enlarge the space by leaving the floor exposed. Additionally, for the same feeling of large space and brightness, we chose natural brown flooring and white walls.

The main bathroom was designed in a light gray shade and a wood-like texture which we used for both the sink and toilet area, as well as the shower. For the sink area, we chose built-in and suspended storage. The tiling in the shower area was designed to give the feeling of depth even if in a small space.

The owners wanted a contemporary and timeless environment, with a few features that reflect their personality. The great attention to detail, the custom-made furniture and each space organized as functionally as possible make everything very well proportioned. The finishes and color scheme blend perfectly with the textures that we used. Therefore, the result reflects a modern and welcoming apartment.
