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.
