About the Project
The main objective in this approximately 43 m² city apartment was to create furniture that would provide maximum functionality without visually overwhelming the limited space.
The client requested an interior based on white furniture with stronger dark accents. We carried this principle throughout the main furniture pieces, combining white finishes with black hardware and a dark kitchen worktop.
The focus was on clean lines, generous storage and solutions precisely adapted to the proportions and everyday use of the apartment.
Kitchen
The kitchen was designed as a compact L-shaped layout, making efficient use of the available space without unnecessary visual divisions.
Clean white fronts, concealed handles and integrated LED lighting above the worktop help keep the kitchen visually light. All essential appliances were integrated into the composition, including the oven, microwave, induction hob, sink and refrigerator.
The dark worktop and black details introduce contrast and character into the otherwise bright kitchen.
TV Wall & Storage
The TV wall was designed not only as a visual feature of the living area, but primarily as a practical storage solution.
A full-height cabinet extending to the ceiling flows seamlessly into the horizontal composition. The lower TV unit continues down to the floor, providing additional storage without introducing separate pieces of furniture.
The only stronger decorative accent is an integrated colour-changing LED strip, allowing the atmosphere of the room to be adjusted according to the occasion.
Entrance Wardrobe
The entrance area was also designed around the limited available space. The built-in wardrobe fits directly into the existing niche and combines closed storage with a practical open zone.
The lower section provides shoe storage, while the upper cabinets offer additional space. Between them, an open niche creates a comfortable place to sit, put on shoes and hang outerwear.
The combination of white and wood creates a warm contrast while maintaining a visual connection with the rest of the apartment.
