Lately, we have been seeing a lot of open space homes, seamlessly connecting the living room and kitchen, as well as the hallway and living area. When spaces merge, the manner the home is divided matters a lot. The design must combine both the functional and the aesthetic aspects. Today, we want to showcase a 4-bedroom apartment in Dubai where the living room seamlessly connects to the kitchen, dining area, and hallway. Thus, the living room is the main part of the entire home and from here the other functions merge. The owners, a family with a 16-year-old child, wanted a modern design, with color accents, a decor that reflects their cheerful personality. Let’s see what tricks we had applied and the result that we obtained.
The entrance hall to the house is equipped with custom-made white furniture, a dressing room with elegant accents placed on the entire wall. From here we started to integrate red as an accent shade, a color that we used in most of the rooms. In the hallway we opted for a red armchair, with velvet upholstery, thus giving the setting a sophisticated and precious design. Behind the armchair we placed a hidden wall of large mirrors that separate the hallway from the living space (living room, dining area and kitchen).
In order to keep the coherence throughout the entire decor, we especially paid attention to the color scheme in living room – we opted for neutral shades mixed with red accents. Due to the reason that a completely red sofa can be too much for an open space, we chose a custom corner model, with a chaise longue and red decorative pillows. To organize the space, we opted for minimalist furniture, in simple and straight lines – it is a detail that enhance the way we perceive the space. The bookcase behind the sofa was strategically placed to define the room’s corner and create a smooth transition to the hallway.
The dining area is marked by the suspended light fixture and burgundy curtains that connect with the rest of the living space, but without letting the accent color dominate the space. Besides that, the dining area is minimalist, with gray chairs and a glass-topped table, for an orderly environment.
The kitchen was designed compactly, with white, minimalist, handleless furniture, enhanced by two burgundy-red stripes. The furniture was mounted on two rows of cabinets – lower and upper. Between the two rows of cabinets we chose to tile the wall with a red glass panel as a backsplash, to give a unified touch to the entire decor. In order not to clutter the space, we chose to incorporate all the household appliances.
The master bedroom is decorated in neutral tones of gray and white, with accents of pink and burgundy. We opted for an upholstered bed for added comfort and elegance. In the window area we arranged a reading zone with a minimalist armchair in gray tones. The bedroom is equipped with a custom-made, floor-to-ceiling wardrobe, designed to create the impression of a wall paneling and to avoid overcrowding the space.
The child’s bedroom, a 16-year-old boy, was designed as both a resting space and an area for studying and recreation. We chose a generous desk and a comfortable chair, an upholstered bed and a floor-to-ceiling wardrobe. We chose a decor in blue and white tones, with the wall behind the bed featuring a decorative photo wallpaper of a world map in blue tones, harmonizing with the wall by the window.
Relaxation room can be considered a guest room or an office as well. We chose a green-red-white color scheme here. The key element in the room is the green wall, next to which we positioned the red armchair with velvet upholstery.
The end result is a harmonious environment, arranged coherently and unitarily. Everything is well organized, simple and functional, adapted to the needs and preferences of the owners.
