Perfect studio with lots of warmth and light

Designers created a bright, warm, cozy and functional space. For zoning, they used a glass loft partition — with it, the feeling of volume and light remains.

Natural old brick in the form of tiles and classical plaster decor were used as accents. The combination of such elements makes the interior interesting and cozy.

Scandinavian studio with retro elements

Designers assembled in the interior items that could have belonged to the owner's grandmother or great-grandmother: this is how Scandinavian homes usually look.

For the room, they came up with an unusual element — artificially aged doors with mirror glass. This created a cozy interior with interesting details.

Practical interior with cute details

In decorating the apartment, they focused on a neutral black-and-white palette. Furniture for this interior was chosen practical and minimalist.

Posters in frames, cushions, throws, various vases, candles and live plants in pots make a minimalist interior homey and cozy.

As a basis for color scheme, the designer took a white-blue Scandinavian palette: it visually expands space, making it bright and airy.

For finishing, they used paint, gypsum stucco and decorative brick. The interior turned out soft and very elegant.
