Layout
From the moment of construction, the apartment belonged to the designer's family. As a result of the redevelopment, the area of the hallway was slightly reduced in favor of the bedroom, thanks to which the bed can be approached from both sides.
Living room
The walls in the living room were painted with light-colored paint, they became the backdrop for bright furniture and accessories - a wine sofa, a blue armchair and paintings in massive gilded frames.
A workplace was provided for the guests - a black writing desk from IKEA contrasts not only with the walls, but also with the vintage furniture around.
Kitchen
Ornamental tiles were laid on the kitchen floor. The set was built in a linear fashion. Despite its small size, it contains everything you need for a daily stay of guests. A washing machine, a dishwasher, and a microwave oven were hidden in the pencil case on the left. A socket was provided on one of the slopes, so small household appliances were transferred to the windowsill.
A dining table can act as an additional working surface; it was placed closer to the window. Yellow chairs and pineapple posters on the walls make the sunny apartment even more sunny.
Bedroom
The bedroom was arranged in a niche. This area was separated from the general space by a curtain. The wall at the headboard was made accent - it was pasted over with wallpaper with geometric motifs.
The double bed was made up of two couches, so it can be divided into two if necessary. Thus, the apartment provided sleeping places for four people. The lighting in the bedroom was organized using graceful suspensions.
Hallway
Thanks to the glass door in the living room, more natural light flows into the hallway. An open coat hanger was placed at the entrance. The mezzanine under the ceiling was present even before the renovation.
Bathroom
Bathroom and toilet in the apartment are separated by a partition. To decorate the walls in both rooms, brick-like tiles were used in combination with paint, and the same ceramics were placed on the floor as in the kitchen. To add contrast, they included black elements - plumbing, accessories and a radiator in the bathroom - and also used a dark grout.
