The owners of the apartment are a young family with a 1.5-year-old daughter. This is their first home, which they have long dreamed of, so  in order for everything to work out as planned, they decided to turn to the designer for help in arranging the apartment.

​

The customers wanted to plan the available area in such a way that it would be used as functionally as possible, taking into account the possible replenishment of the family in the near future. It was necessary to provide a convenient storage system and so that it does not look bulky. It was also important to take into account the wish for the nursery: it should be able to accommodate a second child in the future, and the style would suit both a girl and a boy.

Because the hosts are young people and like to meet with friends, then a small living room was needed, where a guest who stayed up late could stay overnight. The head of the family often works at home, so it is important to provide a separate workplace.

LAYOUT

​

It was decided to expand the kitchen area at the expense of the bedroom, turning it into a kitchen-living room. Therefore, the wall between the kitchen and the bedroom was moved towards the bedroom, thus creating a niche for a sofa on one side and a wardrobe on the other.

We also abandoned the partition separating the kitchen-living room and the corridor, thereby we managed to visually expand the space of the kitchen-living room and let daylight into the hallway.

​

STORAGE

​

Unfortunately, in this layout of the apartment there is no space for a separate dressing room. But we managed to place large wardrobes in each room, which will allow us to find a place for a large number of things of the owners of the apartment. To make the cabinets look minimally bulky and be as spacious as possible, we made them built-in and up to the ceiling. The closet in the hallway was painted a bright enough blue color to transform it from an ordinary utilitarian item into a bright interior detail.

​

In addition to the closet in the bedroom, a chest of drawers is planned under the same worktop as the work table. We tried to use every centimeter, so we got a wall cabinet over the sofa, a bed with a lifting mechanism in the bedroom, roll-out drawers under the children's bed and a small niche behind the mirror in the hallway.

LIGHT

​

In kitchen lighting, track lights were preferred, not forgetting about the illumination of the work surface. To isolate the dining area, a La marina, Eichholtz lantern was placed above the dining table. A cozy evening atmosphere in the living room is created by swivel lights built into the shelf above the sofa. The bedroom features modern Drop ceiling lights from Centrsvet. Filament sconces by Cosmorelax are provided at the head of the bed. In the nursery, the light was built into the ceiling, so that nothing would interfere with the unrestrained children's games.

COLOUR

​

The customers wanted something calm, natural and at the same time with interesting details. So a deep blue, with a slight greenish tint, was chosen as the basis, the color of the sea, or the reflection of the sky in the water surface of the lake. The blue-green color of the cabinet perfectly complements the blue kitchen backsplash, and the ash-blue upholstery of the chairs. To prevent the kitchen from feeling cold, a warm beige shade was added to the kitchen unit and sofa. As well as chairs with wooden legs and a table made of solid wood create an atmosphere of comfort.

​

In the bedroom, we continued the natural color scheme and settled on green, a shade of olive and early green. The bathroom is a sand story of a wild beach with fallen trees: shades of beige and brown are perfectly combined with white sanitary ware and countertops. The nursery is a little out of our natural coloring, with its enthusiasm of a bright blue and red palette, which is perfect for both a girl's and a boy's room.
