Let’s light up the kitchen
To make the room comfortable and welcoming, we opted for a linear kitchen system, favoring a contained and versatile space. The colors chosen are neutral and in contrast with the dark parquet. The kitchen features matt-white structures and a light oak top. Matching the furnishings in the room (table and small sideboard). All are aimed at giving a sense of lightness. For the chairs we chose a sage green, to allow communication between the kitchen area and the living room area.
We went from a yellow and oppressive room to a white, fresh and airy environment
Connection between kitchen and living room
To maintain an open space between the kitchen and living room we opted for a division generated by wallpaper with a floral motif on the largest wall. This is for two specific reasons:
- give a sense of detachment from the kitchen;
- use the wall without suffocating it with shelves, bookcases, and other objects. Allowing a comfortable, and functional positioning of the TV and relaxation area.
A jungle bath
After increasing the volume of the bathroom, we opted to make it as characteristic and particular as possible. In line with the customer’s personality and liveliness, we have created a bathroom that is comfortable to use and beautiful to look at. The intent was to make it vibrant and light at the same time, without weighing it down too much with extravagant or heavy elements. The white of the rooms is taken up by the tiles surrounding the shower, while inside an explosion of colors, shapes, and energy.
A comfortable and natural bedroom
After reducing the size of the room, we tried to optimize the space by creating a concrete headboard. By adding side niches, embellished and detailed with oak shelves. The bed chosen is a container, which allows you to acquire even more space. In front of the bed, there is a wardrobe with 4 mirrored doors. As for the kitchen/living room and bathroom, light, natural and bright colors were chosen. Sage green predominates here too, creating a line that unites all the rooms of the house.
