This is a bright loft in the center of Warsaw on the firstthe view seems simple. But in fact, there are many ideas here that can be transferred to our reality. The apartment of 56 sq. m. is located in the very center of Warsaw, in the Powiśle district, on the 4th floor of a residential building from the 1930s. The project involved a complete reconstruction of the old apartment. Architects from KW Studio replaced all the floors and communications, made repairs and redesigned the premises. The living room in this apartment has an open planlayout by demolishing the wall that separated it from the hallway, as well as expanding the space between it and the bedroom. The two rooms were connected by 3-meter folding doors made of wood. In place of the bathroom, the architects from KW Studio made a dressing room. Where the kitchen was, there is now a combined bathroom, and the kitchen itself has moved into the living room. The main color of this apartment is white, and the mainThe decorative element is a brick wall from which the plaster and several layers of paint have been removed. The mosaic in the hallway and bathroom is similar to that which was typical of pre-war Warsaw. The furniture and decorative elements reflect the owner’s passion for travel. The walls are decorated with Polish posters from the 70s and 80s of the last century, while the rooms are filled with ethnic details from around the world: Moroccan rugs and pillows, Iranian seat cushions, Argentine kilims and Georgian sumaks. A wall of bare brick, some of which have been preservedWhitewashed, bleached oak herringbone parquet flooring, black mosaic tiles at the entrance and a mix of furniture and accessory styles make this space bright, comfortable and stylish.

If you want to do a renovation in a similar vein, use our advice.

  • Don't be afraid to combine things that seem incompatible at first glance. For example, modern furniture in the kitchen and a wall made of old brick.
  • Add color to pure white spaces.In the case of the bathroom, it is black. The black lamps, the table under the sink and the grout between the mosaic tiles give the interior a completely different look.
  • The same applies to the bright paintings inhallway and bedroom. Look how the interior, done in neutral, calm tones, has come to life. By the way, it is not necessary to splurge on paintings. You can buy inexpensive posters.
  • Surprisingly, different shades of white enliven the interior, and it stops looking sterile and hospital, as readers who do not like white call it. Try experimenting.
