The flat in the Praga Północ district was designed by Joanna Siemionczyk of Architektura Mijo. The interior was created for a young couple with a young child. Their passion for Praga, their love of vintage furniture and their love of Scandinavian design form the foundation of this project, creating a harmonious whole in which simplicity and natural colours play the first fiddle. This flat in Praga North is a real gem. With exceptional attention to detail, a combination of modern elements with retro accents and a spacious, open layout, it creates a place you want to live in.
Open space with a central kitchen
The heart of the flat is the open kitchen, located in the central part of the space. The kitchen connects seamlessly with the living room, providing comfort and spaciousness. The melissa-coloured lower cabinets contrast harmoniously with the oak accents, while the copper handles and mixer tap add a subtle, elegant touch. The stone worktop in a grey shade combines functionality with a modern look. The wooden table in the centre of the room emphasises the cosy character of the interior. The herringbone flooring brings elegance and warmth, forming a coherent whole with the rest of the finish. The kitchen forms a core, so to speak, around which one can pass freely, which naturally separates the living and night areas.
Flat in Praga North – living room full of natural accents
The living room is a spacious place, where a bright sofa and a carpet in muted colours are in the foreground, conducive to relaxation. The vintage armchair Type 300-139 Stefan introduces a retro element, which complements the modern décor. The whole is complemented by lamps in Danish design, which provide subtle, warm lighting. The stylised bookcase from the Polish carpenter’s shop Tamo is another exceptional interior element – a unique piece of furniture that adds character to the living room, combining modernity with a hint of vintage. All this creates a space that is both elegant and comfortable, conducive to everyday relaxation.
Bedroom with elements of nature
The bedroom is a tranquil oasis, featuring a small desk that acts as a dressing table, blending in perfectly with the rest of the interior. On the wall of the headboard, a floral wallpaper catches the eye, introducing a natural motif that harmonises with the flora throughout the flat. Plenty of natural light streams in from the bedroom windows, which further emphasises the muted colours of the upholstery and wooden accents.
The child’s room: spacious and fun
The children’s room is a space that combines functionality with a creative touch – a swing hangs from a wooden beam, and wallpaper with an animal motif appears on the walls to cheer and inspire. Despite the small size of the room, the bright colours and white furniture optically enlarge the space, creating a friendly and warm place to play and study.
Attention to detail: unique interior character
The owners of this flat have taken care of every detail. Furniture selected from flea markets and family collections has been carefully restored, giving the interior a unique vintage feel. Flowers bring nature into the interior, while subtle touches such as copper handles and wooden beams complete the whole, creating a cohesive and cosy space.
