1. 60-SQUARE-METRE APARTMENT IN GDAŃSK WRZESZCZ DESIGNED BY ELI SAWICKA
Design: EM2 Studio
Photos: Hanna Połczyńska
Location: Gdańsk
In Gdańsk, in one of the old tenement houses, a 60-square-metre flat was created, where classic meets modern. The space consists of a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. The designer’s goal was to create an interior that was visually coherent, but above all functional.
The narrow kitchen required a thoughtful approach to every centimetre. The built-in furniture was designed so as not to overwhelm the space, while ensuring maximum comfort. Warm wood tones and subtle, natural materials dominate here. The designer opted for birch veneer stained in warm tones, which she combined with cool, greenish natural quartzite. The whole is complemented by vertical tiles, which give the wall a rhythmic pattern and visually raise the interior. “I wanted this place to retain its style, so I decided on a chequerboard floor,” says Ela Sawicka.

2. THE BEAUTY OF SAND COLOURS. A MODERN APARTMENT IN WILANÓW
Design: Aleksandra Hyz (HYZ Projektuje)

Location: Warsaw
It has an area of 98 square metres and has become a new home for a family of four. This modern flat in Wilanów was designed by Aleksandra Hyz. The designer focused on maximum functionality and sand colours, which allowed her to create a visually coherent space.
The new living space for this young family has been tailored to their needs. The interior has a clear functional layout. The heart of the flat is the living room, which has been combined with the kitchen. In addition, the living room opens onto a balcony where you can spend time in the fresh air. A narrow corridor leads to the private area with bedrooms (the master bedroom and the bedroom of their young daughter). The flat has two bathrooms, one shared and the other located next to the master bedroom.

3. RED LIPSTICK MONSTER APARTMENT
Design: NOKE Architects, HYZ Projektuje, Studio ISKRY

Location: Warsaw
The NOKE team values working with people who have specific expectations and are not afraid of original solutions. This is exactly what the implementation of this unique project looked like. “We love it when investors set the bar high – it stimulates our creativity and allows us to create without compromise,”comments Karol Pasternak from NOKE.
The studio’s colourful design is a spacious penthouse with a terrace, located right on the edge of Warsaw’s city centre. The architects’ goal was to design an interior with two contrasting characters – calming during the day and expressive at night. During the day, it was to be a neutral backdrop for everyday life and lush greenery. After dark, it was to transform into a colourful, pulsating space.

4. BERLIN CHILL IN THE HEART OF WARSAW’S POWISŁO DISTRICT
Design: Jasno Projekty, collaboration: Modernismo
Photos: Migdał Studio
Location:Warsaw
In a 1930s tenement house, located right next to Rydza-Śmigły and Agrykola parks, an interior was created that perfectly demonstrates that functionality and aesthetics can go hand in hand. The designers of this 76-square-metre flat in Warsaw’s Powiśle district decided to create a genuine, honest space — simply a flat to live in. This is how the idea of “Volkswohnung” — a flat for everyone — was born. But in a premium version.
The inspiration was Berlin — a free, diverse and unpretentious city. It was its spirit that became the starting point for a design in which functionality goes hand in hand with bold materials and colours.

5. EClectic apartment on Mostowa Street in Kraków
Design: One Desk
Photos: N2 Studio
Location: Krakow
The flat on Mostowa Street in Krakow has undergone a metamorphosis that uniquely combines respect for the historical fabric with a modern approach to functionality. The design was created by the One Desk studio (Katarzyna Iwańczuk, Mikołaj Iwańczuk, Patrycja Badura), and the implementation began in 2024. The result is a 76-square-metre space in an eclectic style, which has regained its character after years of ill-considered interventions.
Although the tenement house captivates at first glance, the interior of the flat turned out to be surprisingly overwhelmed by successive alterations. A low wooden mezzanine cutting across the bedrooms, a dark kitchen and a cramped plasterboard bathroom – all this made the potential of the space almost invisible. The architects decided to change this and brought out the beauty inherent in this space.

6. HOUSE IN KARPACZ AND ITS BEAUTIFUL INTERIOR
Design: razoo – architects
Photos:Mood Authors
Location: Karpacz
The history of this house in Karpacz is a story of a relationship that has matured over the years. The client, for whom the razoo architects studio had previously designed the interiors of a hotel, invited them into her private world after many years. She had known the house well for a decade, but over time it had ceased to meet her needs. She asked for a makeover – first of the night area, then the day area. The result was two worlds, different yet coherent, woven into a harmonious whole.
The ground floor is home to the living area – open, full of light, radiating energy and joy. The stable base of wood and concrete is broken up by cheerful accents: pink onyx, coloured glass, and lamps with playful shapes. Warm beiges meet pink and yellow here, creating an atmosphere of lightness and optimism. It is an interior that is meant to bring joy, smiles and energy. Wooden furniture with organic lines and art with vivid colours build the character of the house – feminine, confident, but also self-ironic and full of life.

7. MOKOTÓW APARTMENT IN COLOURS BY NOI STUDIO
Design: Noi Studio
Photos: Kaja Osikowska-Tasz “Pietruszka Fotografia”
Location:Warsaw
In a modernist tenement house in Mokotów, there is an apartment designed for people who appreciate expressive compositions, everyday comfort and carefully selected items. The interior was designed by Monika Dąbrowska from NOI Studio. The owners, who are passionate about cooking and design, wanted a space that pulsates with energy and individuality. The Mokotów flat fully meets their passions and needs.
The most important part of the flat is the kitchen. A professional gas stove sets its rhythm, and the island has become a place for everyday conversations and spontaneous meetings. Wooden fronts introduce cosiness, and cobalt accents add intensity, which strongly defines the character of this part of the flat. Carefully selected accessories reinforce the character of the arrangement. The countertops and shelves feature ceramic dishes by Malwina Konopacka in the form of a vase, bowl and tray. Candlesticks from Ludism are placed near the island, and a Lexavala lamp is suspended above it, creating a central point of lighting and emphasising the layout of the kitchen.

8. APARTMENT IN A TENEMENT HOUSE IN WROCŁAW’S NADODRZE DISTRICT BY KLU STUDIO
Design: KLU STUDIO
Photos: STUDIO RESOURCES
Location:Warsaw
This flat in a tenement house in Wrocław’s Nadodrze district is an example of how modern style can be effectively combined with tradition and vintage elements. “In the heart of Wrocław’s Nadodrze district, there is an address that has special significance for us. We had the pleasure of designing almost all of the flats in one of the charming tenement houses. We approached each one very individually, and in this particular case, we are very pleased with many of the solutions,” This is how Klaudia Utracik and Paulina Sobczyk from KLU STUDIO describe their project.
The architects began their work by adapting the functional layout to the owner’s needs. “By moving some walls, we decided on changes that brought a new dynamic to the flat – instead of a large kitchen, a cosy study was created, and the spacious living room gained a functional kitchenette with an island. During the renovation, we focused on preserving and emphasising the beauty of historical elements, such as the original floors, door woodwork and stucco. Our goal was to create a harmonious space that combines tradition with modernity,” explain the designers.

9. METAMORPHOSIS OF AN APARTMENT IN SASKA KĘPA, WARSAW
Design: Aleksandra Tomaszewska / Archsome Architekci
Photos: Magdalena Radziszewska-Banak
Location:Warsaw
In Warsaw’s Saska Kępa district, in a large panel building, a space has been created that has completely changed its appearance. The apartment’s makeover covered both functionality and aesthetics. The investors dreamed of an interior full of colour, original solutions and individual character, which would also remain practical and suited to their daily rhythm of life.
The designer admits that she knew from the very beginning that changes to the layout of the rooms would be necessary.“Even at the concept stage, we knew that a change in layout would be necessary. We decided to demolish the wall between the kitchen and the living room to open up the living space and let in more light.” The result is a functional flat with a living room connected to the kitchen, a bedroom, a home office and a bathroom – a space full of light, life and modern energy.

10. APARTMENT IN MOKOTÓW – 160 SQM OF DESIGN IN A TENEMENT HOUSE ON KIELECKA STREET
Design: Studio Zemła
Photos: Nate Cook
Location:Warsaw
A project by Studio Zemła, created in collaboration with architect Olga Guz, was completed in a tenement house on Kielecka Street in Old Mokotów. The flat covers over 160 sq m and is characterised by a distinctive composition and a carefully thought-out layout, perfect for a family of four. Two connected premises have been transformed into a coherent space where history meets the bold use of colour, light and art.
The entrance to the flat has been treated as a prelude to the rest of the story. The hallway, devoid of natural light, has been designed in dark navy blue tones. It is dominated by custom-made furniture, including a wardrobe with a lacquered wood frame, finished with Dedar wallpaper, and a bench with Kvadrat fabric by Raf Simons. The atmospheric lighting in the interior is provided by a Fabbian ceiling lamp and a Nemo Le Corbusier wall lamp. The dark hallway leads to a bright living room with tall windows that let in plenty of light and are reminiscent of elegant Parisian interiors. Instead of a television, there are shelves for books and a collection of paintings. The space is complemented by classic furniture, including an LC2 armchair in burgundy upholstery, a Noguchi coffee table and a solid oak table with Bruno Rey chairs in a dark burgundy shade. The whole is complemented by a movable Nemo lamp, which introduces an element of dynamism to the arrangement.

11. A SANCTUARY IN A PRE-WAR TENEMENT BUILDING. THIS IS HOW ALEX JASKÓŁOWSKA LIVES
Design: La Folie Studio
Photos:Mood Authors
Location:Warsaw
In one of Warsaw’s tenement houses from the 1930s, an interior was created that was initially intended to be a showcase on the Airbnb platform, but ultimately became Alex Jaskółowska’s private flat. The design, prepared for the travel blogger by La Folie Studio, proves that classic and quite contemporary elements can create a uniquely harmonious whole.
The flat, with an area of approximately 90 square metres, has survived in almost pristine condition since the post-war period, retaining the specific spirit of those years. The adaptation therefore required a thorough modernisation of the installations and changes to the layout of the walls, but in such a way as not to lose the great history contained within these old walls. An additional bedroom was created in the flat, and the bathroom was enlarged by incorporating part of the corridor. It was designed as a space divided into two zones: the first houses a free-standing bathtub and washbasin, while the second has a shower, toilet and bidet.

12. THIS IS HOW DELIGHTFUL LIVING IS. MICHAŁ KORKOSZ SHOWS US HIS APARTMENT
Design: Mistovia
Photos: ONI Studio
Location:Warsaw
Located in the heart of Warsaw. Michał Korkosz, a culinary influencer known as Rozkoszny, recently moved into a brand new interior. The space combines his personal style and passion for cooking. To realise the latter, a functional kitchen design was key. Rozkoszny invited the Mistovia design studio to design the perfect interior.
The eclectic interior design was prepared by the talented architect Marcin Czopek from the Mistovia studio. The implementation showed that the interior can be treated as a living organism, full of contrasts, bold textures, intense colours and sophisticated forms.
Michał’s kitchen had to be the heart of the home, a meeting place and a workplace. We needed materials that were durable, beautiful and resistant to everyday use – and Cosentino proved to be the perfect choice,” says Marcin Czopek. “The initial vision was for a more elaborate form, but discussions with Michał allowed us to focus on authenticity and functionality. The result is an ergonomic and practical kitchen that is also versatile enough that anyone can easily relate it to their everyday interior,” adds the architect.

13. IN THE SUNSHINE. A BEAUTIFUL APARTMENT DESIGNED BY COI STUDIO
Design: COI Studio
Photos: Migdał Studio
Location:Warsaw
Monika Rogusz-Witkoś from COI STUDIO designed this interior several years ago. Despite the passage of time, the interior still looks fresh and attractive. The designer managed to avoid passing trends, focusing on original solutions that give the flat a timeless character.
The interior design is the result of collaboration between Monika Rogusz-Witkoś from COI Studio and the investor, who knew exactly what she wanted. This interior is not meant to be a manifesto of luxury, but a testament to feminine sensitivity and subtle strength. Every detail was carefully discussed – from the layout of the walls to the choice of materials – to create a harmonious backdrop for the owner’s intense life. The investor works in the media, enjoys the company of other people and beautiful objects. She loves to cook, entertain guests and celebrate quiet moments alone with herself. The interior design was therefore intended to match her lifestyle.

14. AN APARTMENT IN THE HEART OF WROCŁAW. THE PROJECT WAS CREATED IN A HISTORIC TENEMENT HOUSE
Design: Kohlrabi
Photos: Stan Zajaczkowski Photo
Location: Wrocław
In one of Wrocław’s tenement houses, located near the historic Market Square, an apartment designed for short-term rental was created. The design by Amelia and Filip Symonowicz from the Kohlrabi studio combines the convenience of an urban location with a functionally designed interior. The architects focused on thoughtful spatial solutions and careful selection of materials, creating an apartment in the heart of Wrocław that is tailored to the needs of guests, while at the same time standing out with its unusual details.
The tenement house in which the project was carried out was thoroughly rebuilt in the 1960s. As a result of this unfortunate modernisation, the building lost its original details and decor in favour of elements characteristic of that period, such as terrazzo window sills. Over the decades, the building has become worn out and requires another comprehensive renovation. The same was true for the flat in question. Its original layout included two rooms and a separate kitchen, but in the new arrangement, the architects decided to completely transform this space. As part of the work, almost all partition walls were removed, thus connecting the kitchen with the living room and separating a spacious bedroom with an atmospheric bay window. An apartment for two to four people was created on an area of 60 square metres, offering comfortable conditions and a powerful aesthetic experience.

15. IT IS IN A TENEMENT HOUSE FROM 1912. A BEAUTIFUL FLAT IN MOKOTÓW
Design: NOWW Studio
Photos:Mood Authors
Location:Warsaw
In Warsaw’s Mokotów district, in a pre-war tenement house from 1912, an extraordinary story of harmony between history and modernity unfolds. The building, which survived the destruction of World War II thanks to its close proximity to German barracks, still houses the descendants of its original residents. This rich past gives the interiors a unique character, providing a backdrop for contemporary arrangements. The new interior design was created by architect Wojciech Nowak from NOWW Studio.
The designed flat is located on the top, fifth floor – just below the spacious attic – and covers an area of 60 square metres. The original layout of the interior included two separate rooms, a kitchen and separate sanitary facilities. In the new concept, the bedroom has been moved to the former kitchen, while the spacious, integrated kitchen and living room create an open, functional layout. The load-bearing walls have been retained, with only the door leading to the main bathroom being slightly moved, which has made it possible to create a uniform kitchen layout in the living area.

16. APARTMENT IN A PRE-WAR TENEMENT HOUSE IN POWIŚLE
Design: Sobkowiak Architektura
Photos: Oni Studio
Location:Warsaw
There is a great atmosphere here. In a pre-war tenement house in Powiśle, Warsaw, there is a flat whose interior is an example of a combination of the past and modern design. The flat, chosen by a young couple with a child and their beloved dog, impresses not only with its functionality, but above all with its sensual approach to interior design, where every detail matters. The new interior design was created by the Sobkowiak Architektura studio.
The design by the Warsaw-based Sobkowiak Architektura studio is a story about the search for a multi-layered, lively space that, despite its modern solutions, retains a classic atmosphere. The owners of the apartment did not expect revolutionary changes, but rather a subtle transformation that would restore the former charm of the tenement interior – aesthetics with a slight mid-century modern twist. The result is a space where the history of the building comes to life through references to the past, while at the same time meeting contemporary standards of comfort.

17. LONG LIVE WOOD! WE TAKE A LOOK INSIDE AN APARTMENT IN POWIŚLE, WARSAW
Design: Colombe studio
Photos:Mood Authors
Location:Warsaw
The interior was designed by architects from Colombe Studio. It is an attractive space in a historic tenement house from 1936, designed by modernist architect Stanisław Rotberg. Less than 60 square metres of floor space and an impressive height of 3.15 metres give the space a unique character. Large south-facing windows offer a panoramic view of the park, which is not only an asset but also an invitation to enjoy natural light throughout the day.
The concept was inspired by the modernist legacy, with Adolf Loos’s designs in Pilsen as the main reference. The collaboration with the investors began with a clear decision that the interior should draw on its modernist roots, but at the same time allow for experimentation with more saturated materials. Three elements played a key role: dark flooring made of classic fir by Chapel Parkett, walls finished with deep matt Emente paint, and panelling and joinery made of teak wood. The choice of teak wood, both for practical reasons – its resistance to harmful substances and waterproof properties – as well as aesthetic reasons, emphasising warm colours and modernist character, is an example of a thoughtful approach to detail. In addition, the whole composition is complemented by brass and copper elements and colour accents such as ultramarine and coral.

18. APARTMENT IN KRAKOW. THE TERRACE OFFERS A BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF PODGÓRZE
Design: noplusp
Photos:Mood Authors
Location: Krakow
Its interior was designed by Mateusz Niepokój from the noplusp studio. The apartment, measuring over 60 square metres, is located in Podgórze in Krakow. The location, chosen with deep sentiment for the right bank of the city and supporting fond childhood memories of one of the clients, gives the space a specific character.
The high floor with access to a terrace, offering a western view framing the roofs of neighbouring tenement houses, is an asset that forms the basis for the interior design, despite the challenges posed by the irregular lines of the load-bearing walls and numerous installation shafts. Instead of fighting the architectural limitations, the designer decided to use them as a source of inspiration – and the volume of the space was enriched with organic arches and non-standard elements that transformed difficult and boring nooks and crannies into the apartment’s greatest asset.

19. APARTMENT IN AN ART NOUVEAU TENEMENT HOUSE IN BYDGOSZCZ
Design: MURU Studio
Photos: ZASOBY Studio
Location: Bydgoszcz
This flat in Bydgoszcz is an example of a harmonious combination of architectural context and the individual lifestyle of its residents. The author of the design is Aleksandra Przybyła – architect, founder of MURU Studio and lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław. For the couple who run a tattoo studio, she created an interior which, like their work, exudes craftsmanship, attention to detail and personal character.
The interior makeover began with a thoughtful redesign of the apartment’s layout. By demolishing walls, an open, multi-layered living space was created, in which functional zones flow seamlessly into one another. Historical elements, such as the original herringbone parquet flooring and double doors, have been preserved and renovated. The doors, painted in a subtle blue and glazed with ribbed glass, have become one of the most important accents of the interior design.

20. AN INTERIOR FULL OF ART AND EMOTION. PIOTR ŁUCYAN’S PRIVATE HAVEN IN ŁÓDŹ

Location: Łódź
This flat makes an impression right from the doorstep, and then reveals its other qualities step by step. They are hidden in the mirrored bathroom cabinet, behind doors blended into the stucco, and even inside the furniture – where no one would expect them. Piotr Łucyan has composed lost charm and beauty in new forms in this cosy flat in Łódź. The interior designer has created a comfortable haven for himself here.
Piotr found the right place on Nawrot Street, which takes its name from the direction of cart traffic – this is where they returned to the city with loads of wood from the surrounding forests. The tenement house from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, standing on this historic route, has been revitalised. The facades and staircases of the building have been carefully renovated. However, the newly separated flats were left for individual renovation. It was carried out by Marcin Opyrchał, whom Piotr knew from many successful collaborations.
