We will show you a small apartment in Poland,which looks much larger than its area. You will learn how the designers managed to achieve this from our article. And, of course, you will be able to repeat these techniques in your apartment, they are simple. Dive into the atmosphere of the morning breeze, enjoy the gentle haze of the sunset evening and meet the minty freshness of the sea - three pleasures in one interior. And we could not resist its poetic praise, using eloquent epithets, looking at the photo of this apartment. Perhaps you will agree with us.
At the resort
Sopot is a city where people come for the sea,good air and unusual sights. First of all, many architects and just fans of the unusual know it for the building "Crooked House" (Krzywy Domek). Another striking landmark of this resort town is the sea pier, which is considered the longest in Europe. Its length reaches 515.5 meters. It served as the starting point for the creation of the interior that has come into our field of vision today. The apartment in question is located just two hundred meters from this amazing place. Its area is only 42 square meters, and it is hard to believe when you first look at the photo. It seems that it has at least 80 square meters of area. What is its secret? How, who and by what means managed to create such an incredible visual effect?
The atmosphere of a historical city in a modern interior
One day, designer Lucyna Kolodziejska (LucynaKołodziejska) was approached by an elderly woman, but endowed with charm and charisma. She is very passionate about the history of her hometown, she likes its old streets and the architecture of the 19th century, when Sopot acquired the image of a resort town. But the customer of this interior did not manage to buy an apartment in a historically significant building. Having bought a home in a modern building, she realized that the desire to create an atmosphere of the old town in it did not leave her. That is why she came to Lucyna. The interior was intended for rent to tourists coming to Sopot, so another of the main wishes of the customer was to create a relaxed atmosphere that would always be conducive to relaxation, but would not be too dull.
More than it actually is
Lucina immediately had an idea - why not do itspace larger with the help of a photo panel? The technique is simple, but for some reason it is rarely used by designers in practice. The basis was a photo of that very famous pier, taken by a Portuguese photographer. So the perspective of the picture seems to become an extension of the small living room. Monochrome here works to create a historical atmosphere, and bright splashes of a refreshing turquoise shade, like sea spray, refresh the interior. Our opinion: - Gray dominates this interior, and it is presented here in several variations. This allows you to clearly distribute all the zones and highlight accents. Gray is unofficially the most popular color among architects and designers. Why? Perhaps because it is pleasant to work with it not only in large spaces. It can save even the most doomed interior, especially if it is skillfully played with light, as was done in this apartment. See how skillful use of lighting built into a suspended ceiling can transform the interior. Even make it appear larger. The photo panel looks airy and realistic when illuminated in the evening with the same lighting. This gives the interior even more of the desired atmosphere than during the daytime.
Invisible Kitchen
When you first look at thisinterior, the kitchen is difficult to notice, as it is very harmoniously integrated into it. The fronts of the cabinets resemble the windows of old Polish houses and echo the geometry of the photo panel. The lower cabinets have lacquered dark gray fronts that reflect the light from the window, thereby visually stretching the room. And where is the sink? Coming closer, we find it in a small niche, there are also upper and lower cabinets. Interestingly, this mini-kitchen managed to accommodate a stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker and all the necessary cutlery.
Bedroom: separate or together
From a fully studio space to thisinterior, they decided to leave the intimate area of the bedroom, isolated from the living room-kitchen-dining room. Since the apartment is designed for vacationers, two single beds were placed here, which when combined form a very comfortable double bed. Our opinion: - Another secret of this room is that it has a spacious built-in closet for storing things, but you can't even see it. It turns out that it is behind a curtain, which is made of the same material as the curtain on the window. This creates a mirror effect, which looks quite interesting.
On the sea coast
The bathroom can't boast of being large at allarea, but thanks to the same gray color and successful play of light, it, like the living room, began to seem larger. Here they also used a photo panel with an image of the sea coast. The photo was taken especially for this interior by Lucina herself. To enhance the effect and add light, the designer decorated one wall with a mirror, attaching two lamps to it, the position of which can be adjusted as desired. They decided to put vintage Moroccan tiles on the floor, since the owner of the apartment loves them very much and, in addition, perfectly continues the marine theme. Another nice bonus of this bathroom is the built-in radio, so it will never be boring here. You can even sing along!
