Apron from Fish Scale, Designer Wallpapers, Unusual Lights: Stylish 76 m² Apartment

The design of this apartment was specially created by Quadrum Studio for a married couple with two children. The interior should have been in a Scandinavian style with pop art elements.

Here's what came out of it.

The living space originally had an unusual shape, and some features had to be adapted to. The kitchen was enlarged by extending the balcony, which involved removing the window sill and extending the kitchen unit to the window.

The dining area and living room were joined and separated by a load-bearing wall, and the rest of the space was distributed between the bedroom and children's room.

The walls were painted with light-colored paint, and laminated Egger flooring was laid on the floor. Wallpaper from Cole & Son was applied in the hallway and children's room, while Harlequin was used in the bedroom. Bright accents were created using handmade tiles from Prima Keramika and Luxemix – for example, the kitchen apron was laid with an unusual blue tile in the shape of fish scales.

Custom-built and soft furniture was made based on individual sketches. Graphic armchairs were purchased from the brand Unikamoblar, and vintage chairs were also selected.

The sink in shabby chic style extends beyond the countertop and gives the kitchen a rustic charm in the Scandinavian spirit. It is very easy to clean due to its smooth mirror surface.

The bedroom includes two windows, one of which illuminates the owner's full walk-in closet. The headboard in the bedroom was decorated in sunny yellow tones.

The bathroom strictly adheres to the boundaries of the 'wet zone'. The wall was finished with classic 'cabane' tiles, and the floor was tiled with a graphic patterned tile.

The vanity unit and sink were purchased from IKEA and painted to match the tile, and the handles were replaced with new ones that match the plumbing fixtures.
