About the project
The interior of a private house, built around the idea of open, natural space. Spare architectural graphics, plenty of light and natural materials make a setting that reflects how the owners live and does not date.
Client request
The clients wanted a house interior that was both generous and easy to live in: an open kitchen-living room for family life and for guests, a quiet bedroom kept for rest, and ample storage that does not clutter the eye. The zones had to be held together by one language: contemporary, spare, built on natural materials and daylight.
Challenge
The two-storey open plan meant bringing the kitchen, the living room and the staircase into one scene without overloading it. Graphite fronts, warm timber and natural stone had to be balanced so that the large volume of the house read as a whole and kept its sense of space and daylight.
Concept
The project rests on an open plan, in which the kitchen island runs on into the living room with its soft modular seating. The material palette is built on a contrast between warm solid oak, grey quartz composite, timber panelling and porcelain. The lighting is layered: track fittings, pendants over the island, recessed wall lights and concealed LED give comfort at any hour. The bedroom is a minimal, intimate room: a low bed with a solid oak headboard and fabric inserts, soft local lighting, a few art objects.
Result
The result is a restrained, warm interior in which the open zones flow into one another. The timber ceiling and floor tie the kitchen-living room to the main staircase, graphite fronts and stone surfaces give depth, and a deep blue seating module becomes the accent. Local lighting (recessed fittings, pendants and wall lights) keeps the house comfortable at any hour. The bathroom continues the material theme of the house: large-format stone, warm timber and soft light make a calm, spa-like room.
Zones of the project “Design project for a house, 117 m²”
01
Kitchen-living room
The open plan brings the kitchen, the living room and the main staircase into one scene. The kitchen island runs on into deep blue seating modules, and the timber ceiling and floor tie all the ground-floor zones together. The lighting is layered: track fittings, pendants over the dining table and concealed LED strips keep the room comfortable at any hour of the day.
02
Bedroom
The bedroom is a minimal, intimate room: a low bed with a solid oak headboard and fabric inserts, soft local lighting and a few art objects. Warm timber on the accent wall plays against the restrained grey of the other surfaces.
03
Bathroom
The bathroom keeps to a calm stone palette: large-format marble-effect tiles, recessed lighting round the perimeter of the ceiling and a warm timber floor tie the room to the material theme of the house.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the project
What does a contemporary house interior project include?
The project includes floor plans, detailed drawings by zone, visualisations and material specification. This house has three key zones: kitchen-living room, bedroom and bathroom — a compact format where separating shared and private areas without unnecessary corridors is crucial.
How long does an interior project for a small house take?
For a three-zone house the timescale is usually shorter than for a 100 m² apartment, but we give an exact figure after the measured survey. We work to roughly 2.5–3 months per 100 m² and adjust downwards when the house is more compact.
How do you combine a kitchen and living room in contemporary style?
We make the kitchen-living room one space with a clear boundary drawn by the furniture and the lighting rather than by walls: the working part of the kitchen is set off from the sitting area by a bar counter or a change of flooring. That is exactly how the main living zone was arranged here, with the bedroom left on its own for quiet.
What does an interior project for a house with kitchen-living room and one bedroom cost?
We work the cost out individually after the brief; it is lower than for a multi-zone apartment because there are fewer zones: kitchen-living room, bedroom, bathroom. But fewer zones does not mean less detail: the drawings and the visualisation are worked out just as thoroughly.
What materials are typical in contemporary house interiors?
Contemporary style relies on practical, durable materials: porcelain tile, painted cabinetry, neutral textiles. Here, we kept the palette restrained so the kitchen-living room and bedroom read as one statement rather than a random collection of rooms.
Do you visit the site during construction?
Yes. The measured survey and the start of construction are best done in person, even on a small house. On a three-zone project that matters most when the services are run into the bathroom: a mistake there costs more than another visit from an ARTEVRIKA designer. We work with clients in person or remotely, depending on the project.
