Summer House in Barcelona with Panoramic Windows

The designer and architect of this cottage are Monica Rekoder. Together with the homeowners, she planned the layout and interior, which looks so picture-perfect that it continues the picturesque view from the panoramic windows.

The first thing Monica did was remove the walls between the living room and kitchen, thereby merging the zones into one social space. This area becomes the heart of the house, which plus all the additional access to the summer veranda.

Regarding the finishes, the designer chose an unbeatable combination of white and milk-colored walls with warm wood tones. These typical Spanish colors are complemented by natural textiles, wicker furniture, handcrafted lighting, and an abundance of fresh flowers.

The kitchen turned out spacious and convenient. The work zone is a large island with a walnut countertop. Additional storage spaces are hidden on both sides of the island. A special charm is added by a deliberately aged wooden floor that harmonizes beautifully with milk-colored walls, wood niches, and wicker chairs.

The living room in the house is truly summertime: monochromatic yellow tones, lots of plants, and wicker baskets enhance the view from large panoramic windows. For cold evenings in the living room, a fireplace is provided, which the designer concealed in the wall.

On the second floor of the house is the bedroom. The room is executed in the same warm tones. Adjacent to the bedroom is a picturesque balcony that illuminates the entire space with daylight. The floor is tiled in peach color, which perfectly complements the same-toned textiles (sizale carpet, cotton cushions, and throws).

The bathroom matches the overall style of the house. Here, too, the monochromatic palette of light orange tones is used as the basis. A long marble sink only enhances the hot and sunny Mediterranean design.

The summer vibe in the house continues on the veranda with a sea view. Plaited furniture and orange tones blend harmoniously with the lush greenery surrounding it.
