How to Fix a Tight Layout and Add Colors and Moods

Green shades are gradually becoming as classic as beige, white, and gray. In this interior, designers at Vered Bonfiglioli Studio focused on a cool gray-green tone. According to the RAL color standards, this shade can be classified as 7009, Feldgrau.

It is deep and ambiguous: depending on lighting, its perception can shift from blue to gray. It also pairs beautifully with a trendy pale pink tone. Designers decided to play on the contrast between cold and warm, brutal and soft tones.

The apartment is 73 square meters in the Israeli city of Givatayim, so there was room for a spacious living room that flows smoothly into the kitchen. The center of attention here is a sofa covered in soft pink velvet. The color palette was completed with a white Kartell chair and a gray velvet ottoman.

Functional zones were not forgotten either. A desk was placed against the free wall, and a TV was positioned on a column that remained between the living room and the kitchen after the re-planning.

At the entrance, instead of a typical ceiling-mounted coat rack, a black metal stand was hung. A glass cabinet was placed nearby where the apartment owners store their magazine collection.

In the hallway, storage units were arranged: a bookcase and a utility cabinet where the washing machine and dryer are hidden.

To soften the cool tones and strict forms, designers added more living plants, textiles, and even macramé to the interior. The kitchen features a panoramic window—this created a cozy relaxation area with many plants and a small bed.

For the bedroom, they chose a contrasting warm terracotta tone, which was also used in the bathroom.

The proximity of the cool gray-green and soft terracotta tones worked in favor of both. Designers successfully created a balance between opposing elements in the interior and stayed true to the client's desires. The result is not a polished catalog-style interior, but a stylish apartment where comfort and coziness are guaranteed.
