    I think there is a perception darker colours will make the rooms smaller so I love seeing designers showing how well bold colours in small spaces can look. The design respects the buildings heritage whilst also being modern, and they have dealt well with the challenge of designing good layouts in rooms that have a lots of angles in them. 10/10 from me!

      As someone who grew up in a very colourful house, I would say people are right. The house always felt small and dark to me. I think colourful rooms work only if there are many and very big windows. With my own place, I opted for white with accent walls and colourful decorations. It works just as well!

      ​@@Victoria-oo3iy Perhaps, though since one can't tell just how big and how many windows you need to avoid feeling claustrophobic, I think the colours are also an issue. It's a bit of a gamble to go for them. Plus, you can get sick of them, they can impact your mood... It's a lot better with accent walls. The colours are less aggressive and overwhelming, but you still escape the monotone white/beige/grey walls.

      I have to agree - in the entrance there's a small closet. But no shoe storage.
      The bedroom only has drawers below the bed - not ideal to use daily.
      I'm doubtful that you'll have enough place in the bathroom closet for cleaning supplies, broom or vacuum cleaner.
      Not to mention almost no concealed storage in the living room - for hobbies.
      All that can be solved - a bit more storage in the entrance and living room, having a combined washer/dryer...
      As it is - this flat is sadly only usable for a very minimalist single person.
      I love the colors and ligtness - but it also has to be functional.

      Yeah, if it was my place I would definitely need more storage than that. A LOT more hanging storage. However the way they used the footprint is spare enough that one could probably add in some understated storage furniture if needed, without making the flat feel too cluttered.
      (I would also need a bigger drying rack!) I agree that it seems designed for short stays rather than longterm living.

    Nice apartment, and it does look quite large. Though it lacks storage, storage for the kitchen as well as for the bedroom. The kitchen is compact but likely not functional for consistent cooking. True there is a floor to ceiling wardrobe in the entry area as well as under the bed, but it is really limited. Unless the apartment is just for one person who does not cook so often. Also I did not see any proper bookshelves in the living room. It's quite bare and minimal. Likely the style that fit the owner preferences.

Now it has a cupboard size bedroom with no storage, a giant hall with cooking equipment in it and a quirky living room separated from the rest of the flat... Very odd spacial planning... The new "kitchen" is only good for reheating shop bought meals, hence the entire space is wasted.

      well, I lived in an apartment with a small fridge and it is not practical when you like to cook and freeze for the whole week. So as always, it depends on the owner's preferences.

    It's a beautiful apartment. I'm not always a huge fan of bold or dark wall colours (although they are growing on me) since lighter paint colours make apartments seem much more open, airy, and spacious, but luckily, the floors are a beautiful light wood tone and the ceilings, window frames, door frames, and doors are white, so they offset the potential heaviness of those darker colours.
    Plus, those dark colours do add a certain sense of history and luxury to the space.
    Bravo! :)

    That kitchen is so elegantly designed it doesn't look like one! It looks more like a lounge/reception area and one would easily be able to relax in that space without feeling like one is in the kitchen. I imagine if the living room needed to be converted to another bedroom, the kitchen/dining space would function pretty well as a kitchen/dining/living space too, albeit a little small. 😍

    For me to live here I'd need a bigger fridge, a door to the bedroom, black-out curtains in the bedroom nook, a proper size closet for my clothes, a proper bookshelf and a different design of bathroom tiles; and plants. But for a temporary place, which I think it might be, (like air b&b) it is quite ok.

    • @Maisiewuppp
      @Maisiewuppp 9 місяців тому

      Not everyone is obsessed with closets and clutter. One could add furniture for your clothes. A bigger fridge would be overkill for a small apartment for one person. I like its low key not over designed ambiance and lack of godawful scatter cushions and other over used ‘home furnishings’ which serve no functional purpose.

    The color/tone choices - especially for the entryway, central dining , and living rooms - are very beautiful, sophisticated, serene. There are elements in the bedroom , as well as the bath, that carry that seem theme, and are clever . For the subtlest reasons, however, I found the bedroom wanting, chilly, and wished for a little more "embrace," softness, gravity, luxury. Perhaps it was the color chosen for that space, or the white, more generic-looking platform that held the bed? Not sure. All and all, the physical apartment has handsome bones , and the design choices within - wonderful and informed.

    • @ryannatividad3137
      @ryannatividad3137 11 місяців тому

      I agree. I liked the use of color overall in this apartment, but the colder blue used in the bedroom clashed with the beautiful, warm blue used in the adjacent kitchen. I think the bedroom definitely could use a more complementary color. Also, while the wallpaper on the ceiling is clever and kind of fun with the old molding, I don't think looking up at the ceiling last thing before bed, and first thing in the morning would be ideal for me in terms of calming and destressing my mind.
