Design project for an apartment, 154 m²

A crystal chandelier of two rings greets you in the entrance hall: it seems to float in the air, giving off a soft light. Warm timber on the walls and a marble floor make a striking pair of textures.

A console with three rounded mirrors lit around the perimeter is a practical focal point right by the exit. Concealed cabinets and minimalist doors keep the interior lines clean.

The lighting is built in several layers: recessed fittings join the chandelier, and light at floor level adds depth and opens the space out. A landscape painting above the console completes the picture.

The kitchen keeps to a neutral palette of beige and white: smooth cabinet fronts in a warm beige give a sense of comfort. At the centre of the room is an island of natural stone with marble veining, which doubles as a bar counter; two white chairs on gold bases add a little shine.

A marble splashback with concealed lighting opens the room out visually. The lighting works on two levels: track fittings on the ceiling and two glass pendants above the island. Parquet laid in herringbone brings warmth to a contemporary interior.

This living room brings contemporary design and a welcoming atmosphere together: a soft corner sofa sits beside a fine coffee table with a marble top, making an elegant place to rest. Pale walls and the natural timber textures of the furniture fill the room with warmth, and the distinctive pendants add a note of refinement and open the space out. The easy passage from the living room into the kitchen forms a single, balanced composition that answers the demands of contemporary life.

This master bedroom is a model of contemporary elegance and function. At its centre is a generous bed with a striking grey headboard, flanked by minimal bedside tables. A neutral palette of grey, beige and white makes the atmosphere calm, with accent cushions in pastel shades. An impressive round chandelier and fine wall lights give the room layered lighting and bring out the design. The space is worked out to the last detail: a concealed air conditioner, a roomy chest of drawers and artistic accents in the form of abstract paintings come together to make an ideal place to rest.

Porcelain with marble veining marks off the shower area; the natural texture sets the tone for the whole bathroom. The smooth surfaces of the sanitaryware and the cabinets play against the textured stone and give the room depth.

Concealed lighting under the wall-hung cabinet works both as a light source and as an accent. The storage system is designed for a compact space, while a neutral beige-and-grey palette keeps it calm.

In this refined room for a girl, function and looks come together. The main element is a comfortable bed surrounded by soft pastel tones. An accent wall with a delicate pattern makes the room welcoming, and a well-planned storage system, with a fitted wardrobe in textured panels and open shelves, keeps things in order and puts favourite objects on show. The distinctive pendant light gives the room character, and a soft rug, a round clock and light curtains finish it off. A palette of beige, cream and light brown makes the atmosphere calm and balanced, and gives the young owner of the room a good place to rest and to grow up in.

The boys' room keeps to neutral tones, a calm background for study and for rest. A pair of beds in olive, set side by side, serve for sleeping and as a place to sit during the day, and the drawers beneath them add storage without taking up floor space. On the wall there is a map of the world, more an educational element than decoration.

A study area for two has been set up in the corner for learning and creative activities. Large windows provide natural light, light curtains help regulate it, and a soft rug makes the space comfortable for play.

This home office holds function and looks in balance, which counts for a great deal in apartment interiors. A run of fitted furniture in pale timber with dark accents makes a coherent workspace in which every detail has been thought about, from the generous worktop to the many shelves and cupboards.

Next to the work area, a lounge corner is set up: a low sofa with contrasting cushions and a textile wall artwork create a break between work and everyday home life. A neutral colour scheme based on natural shades promotes a calm atmosphere, while zoning into a work and lounge area helps make efficient use of the compact study.

This guest bathroom is contemporary and minimalist, in pale tones and natural materials. At its centre is an elegant basin with a marble top and a fitted cabinet in neutral grey. A lit mirror gives the room a soft light and makes it comfortable. Walls and floor are laid with pale tiles, which opens the space out. Fitted storage and concealed services keep the interior functional and tidy, and a glass shower enclosure and a wall-hung WC complete the look.

This laundry room is contemporary, with the emphasis on function and on keeping things spare. The walls and fitted cupboards are in a muted green, which makes the room calm and orderly. Everything needed is here: generous cupboards, a washing machine and a tumble dryer stacked one above the other to save space. Mirrored surfaces and concealed handles bring out the minimalist design, and the fitted storage makes the most of every square metre.
