Design project of an apartment in Barcelona
We invite you to a tour of the rooms of one Spanish apartment. The Mediterranean style, a concept often used by designers to design apartments in Spain, has undergone changes, has been modernized and served to homeowners “with a new sauce”. Simplicity and conciseness, clear lines and shapes, convenience and comfort - the basis of the interior of the apartment in Barcelona. Light and spacious premises of the house are furnished with an enviable minimalism, but at the same time they do not create a sense of the atmosphere in which the owner of the apartment is superfluous. This design project was created for a comfortable stay of a modern city dweller who respects traditions, but looks far ahead.
We begin our fascinating excursion from the heart of the apartment - the room in which the owners spend the most time (except for the period of sleep) - the kitchen, connected to a small living area. A narrow but long room contained the entire necessary complex of furniture, household appliances and work segments for cooking and meals. The snow-white finish of the walls and ceiling with beams allows you to visually expand the space and create a neutral background for the kitchen set and dining group. The decoration of the interior of the kitchen was the floor covering, which, unlike the rest of the house, is not made from a wooden floor board, but tiled with colorful ornaments.
Kitchen cabinets with light traditional facades with an alternation of household appliances are located in a corner layout - the most versatile way to place a kitchen unit. With this arrangement of storage systems, equipment and work surfaces, there is always space for installing at least a small dining group.
In our case, the dining area is represented by a small wooden sliding table and comfortable chairs with backs and wicker seats made of similar material. A little natural warmth of the heart of snow-white coolness clearly benefited the character of the interior.
Many housewives dream of a sink in the kitchen space located by the window. This is not only an abundance of sunlight, which is important for high-quality dishwashing, but also the opportunity to distract from routine work, looking at the landscape outside the window.
The small contrast that the dark countertops and the fittings of the cabinet fronts brought to the snow-white kitchen ensemble created a certain dynamism in the interior of the kitchen space. And wooden surfaces diluted this white and black alliance and brought a touch of proximity to nature, warmth and comfort to the design.
The kitchen space smoothly goes into a recreation area with a small wooden platform, which has many functions defined. Initially, this low pedestal was necessary to equalize the levels of the open terrace and the interior. Even the material for this was chosen identical for both the interior and the exterior.
A low wooden pedestal serves as a place for relaxation and reading - all you need is to equip it with soft pillows or substrates, and a storage system in the form of open cells and drawers with white facades, and, of course, the pedestal is an intermediary between the interior and exterior of the apartment.
Thanks to the large glass doors leading to the open terrace, the room has plenty of natural light during daylight hours, but for the darker part of the day there is a comfortable olive leather armchair and a small table lamp.
The wooden flooring of the outdoor terrace has become an excellent platform for organizing an outdoor seating area. Comfortable chairs and green plants in street pots and tubs organized a comfortable patio on the terrace of a multi-storey Spanish house.
From the common functional rooms, we turn to private apartments and consider the interior of the bedroom. The room with a snow-white finish can be divided into a sleep segment and a working area. A large bed and original bedside furniture elements made up the entire segment of sleep and rest. As for the mini-cabinet, a large bookcase and a desk with a comfortable armchair fit in this zone.
From the bedroom there is also access to the open terrace through large glass doors. In a chair located near the panoramic window you can read a book and just enjoy the view in cold weather, when access to the terrace is undesirable.
Some combination of modern interior and retro objects leads to the creation of a unique, interesting design, which at the same time does not cease to be functional, convenient and outwardly attractive.
In the bathroom, located near the bedroom, the atmosphere exudes freshness, cleanliness and lightness. Snow-white plumbing and furniture looks great on the background of light blue ceramic tiles. The contrast in the interior of the utility room was brought by the dark design of the window frame and the chessboard pattern of the floor cladding.
