It is elegant and reminiscent of Parisian interiors. The flat with an artistic soul was designed by Kinga Raczyńska of the HF ARCHITECTS studio. The bright space was enlivened by colourful wallpapers, whose rich patterns are an attractive complement to the entire arrangement.
Working on this interior design, the architect wanted to show that a traditional interior does not have to be uniform. The bright and elegant space is enlivened by exotic motifs, which give the space an artistic dimension. In the design, classic motifs are combined with modern elements – furniture and decorations.
The designer’s starting point was to create a bright interior reminiscent of the spaces of Parisian townhouse flats. These are counterbalanced by motifs inspired by colonial style, retro decorations with a tropical feel. There is also no shortage of references to elegant art déco, antique art and the latest trends, which fit perfectly with the concept of this project.
The space is imbued with an atmosphere of calming tranquillity, created by the harmony of white and the warm tones of light wood. The parquet floor, laid in a French herringbone pattern, and the high skirting boards from the very entrance bring a touch of classic elegance to the flat. The glazed wall separating the corridor from the study delicately defines the space, and the white window divisions allude to traditional palace-style doors, but in a more minimalist and modern edition,’ describes Kinga Raczyńska of HF ARCHITECTS studio.
The flat has interesting details. There is a custom-made bookcase. Its arcaded form is decorated with decorative arches. A hanging top with an elegantly fluted front serves as a desk. A three-legged armchair in light-coloured upholstery is placed right next to it. The interior atmosphere is created by the colourful wallpaper with a tropical landscape motif, and the round wall lamp corresponds to the ceiling lamp.
On the opposite side is the living area. There, the designer has created a relaxation area with a fireplace and a place to watch television. This area is characterised by light shades and curves. The sofa is upholstered in bouclé fabric and decorated with cushions in the same style.
Thecomfort of the seating area is emphasised by rounded pouffes, a fluffy carpet and stylish coffee tables, all in a consistent colour scheme, adds the designer.
The whole is enlivened by accessories – plants, elegant lamps and stucco. The art element is realised through a bust referring to antique sculptures, an abstract painting and wallpaper with tropical motifs.
The interior is also fully functional. The spacious kitchen is located in an alcove with access to the balcony and illuminates the space with its brightness and functionality. At the same time, it maintains a high level of elegance. Its design is a mix of art déco influences, modern classics and French chic. The focal point of this area is the kitchen island, which has a rounded shape with elegant fluted fronts and a marble countertop.
