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.
