Apartment design

Inspired by our trip to Italy last month , we continue with the topic of trends. This time we turn to coatings – we will look at the most current finishes of materials in the bathroom, including for the walls and how to combine them well.

THE MODERN BATHROOM

In the blog article dedicated to INTERIOR TRENDS, we talked about the current color palette and here we will reinforce it. An absolute popular favorite are pastel tones of earth shades – green, tile, yellow, blue, as well as fresh white, beige, cream and pink.

What are the popular routines?

Contrasting hot/cold colors always look good when they are in the same saturation and are of the same palette.

Especially stylish is the combination of matte finish and gloss. Then the most popular is the combination of close and complementary colors – for example, a rich silica color with a glossy surface and a soft pink with a matte surface.

ALWAYS FASHIONABLE WALLPAPER

Wallpaper is a very classic and timeless choice for wall covering. Modern developments and technologies are so innovative that you can’t help but choose wallpaper for at least one of the rooms in your home. Unless, of course, you are well aware of the latest from the vast world of wallpaper. Almost all manufacturers rely on the natural element as a presence – both in patterns and in reliefs.

Recycled fabrics are becoming more and more permanently intervening and are finding their application here as well. Hypoallergenic materials stand out in the foreground, which have been in great demand over the past year and a half. And with the trend for more work from home, the demand for wallpaper whose fabrics improve acoustics is also increasing. They are very suitable for home office spaces or the corner where you have set up your desk.

A favorite design approach for our studio is the choice of wallpaper for the bathroom. Now, with the latest developments, we can now choose coatings that are applied once and do not need additional treatment to resist moisture in the bathroom.

When considering the interior of the living room, we would recommend another current “thread” in the manufacture of wallpaper and it is the golden one. That’s right – the incorporation of metal threads into the fabrics of wallpaper is extremely relevant and very well combined with other metal elements in the design or surfaces imitating old gold, bronze. It’s the whiff of retro and a very authentic way to bring glamour into your home without intrusion.

We are supporters of the fresh change in the home and summer is a season that inspires such a step. To make it really easy and pleasant, our partners from Spirit Paints have developed with our help a box that contains all the necessary elements for changing the walls in the interior. Well, of course, we advised them only in what we are very good at, and that is the creation of a fresh interior solution.

An accent wall in a room is a cool way to enliven the space and create an atmosphere. But how to choose the right solution for our home? Spirit Box offers three bold concepts in beautiful and fresh colors that can qualitatively change any room.

FLORA style in soft pink

Fresh floral elements will always remain an up-to-date solution for bringing the cheerful presence of nature into your home. In Flora style by Spirit Box , they are combined in a range of delicate pink-peach tones, which are very easy to combine with white and wood. Boho decorations will suit this style very well – wicker storage baskets, linen and/or cotton headlamps, furniture made of aged wood. A complementary palette we would suggest to contain dark brown, which will emphasize the casual tones of the walls, and it can be present in furniture, parquet or smaller details, without being imposed as dominant. White, beige and gray are neutral colors that also fit perfectly in the style.

Another interpretation of this style could be a gorgeous children’s room with a floral accent wall. The overall design is again based on the combination of wood and white, but is emphasized by the bright presence of metallic details in gold to bring shine and extra warmth.

If you follow this model, for the choice of decoration, we would advise you to choose ethereal objects that contribute to the slight feeling of the overall interior – such are, for example, tables with a metal gold base, which can also be used for storage. They emphasize floral elements elegantly and are a wonderful addition to the concept.

HEXA style in warm yellow

Warm yellow bee boxes can break up the interior in an amazing way. The universal shape of the hexagon predisposes to different shapes that we can form on the wall, and light shades of orange and gray play a role in its unfolding.

The template is suitable for any room, and we would combine it with leather and stone. Orange-brown leather in furniture, for example, will “warm up” the emission of soft tones from the wall even more. We can choose again decorations in gold or bronze to complement this warmth; We will look for their contrast in gray through stone, ceramics and smoked glass, as well as in black – matte metal surfaces in black will beautifully emphasize the bright color of the wall.

To show the different interpretations in the interior of the HEXA style, we have developed a living room option that is extremely light and minimalistic. In it, the wall corresponds to gray and brown shades of furniture and carpet.

The black matte is again present in the metal coffee table, as well as in the simple dining chairs. Golden elements on the luminaires increase the feeling of warmth and elegantly accompany the image on the wall.

NATURA style in bold turquoise

We welcome nature into our home through the NATURA style, only in a beautifully arranged “embroidery” of leaves resembling wheat ears. The template is suitable for both a living room and a children’s room or bedroom. Bold turquoise creates a pleasant and creative environment filled with calmness and balance – that’s why we decided to deploy it in a workspace.

Our slight joke with the office environment stems from our observations that collective places of work need to be broken and fresh variety. More than ever we are used to the home office and that is why we believe that by placing this subtle design in a working environment we will get closer to the coziness and pleasant feeling of home. It’s tight and elegant, making it unobtrusive. It goes well with light wood, white leather and light gray metal surfaces.

We can also choose this NATURA style to liven up our work corner at home. The vertical arrangement of the template creates a sense of elongation and height, making it suitable for ground floors that supposedly have a lower ceiling.

The fresh turquoise shade of Maldives color from the Spirit palette will look good in a home with beautiful marble or stone flooring. Minimalist furniture design will match the repetitive sheets arranged vertically. As a counterpoint to the accent wall, we choose the white and gray range to let the active color lead in the space.

Whichever of the three styles of the Spirit Box you prefer, you will have a beautiful result. We hope that interior tips for combinations of complementary colors, furniture and decoration have been a good guide into the endless wilds of possibilities that each of the types of templates provide. We will be extremely curious to find out what your choice is – you can write to us on social networks or send photos to our email office@atg-design.com. Have fun and rediscover home this summer in a new way! [:]

The kitchen is probably one of the most used rooms in a home and it is natural for the style to combine the desired functionality and elegant spirit. Of course, our advice would be to plan the design of the space in such a way that in the next few years you feel comfortable and pleasant there. From simple casual design to modern and sophisticated – there are many variations! Here are a few basic aspects to consider to achieve the kitchen of your dreams.

Have you heard of the kitchen triangle? When it comes to optimizing kitchen space, this is one of the old rules that you will be glad you paid attention to. Incredibly, but it is a fact – this can save you energy when preparing food every day. What are the three points that the kitchen triangle connects – you probably already guess, right? These are the refrigerator, sink and hob. Regardless of the size of your kitchen, it is good to predict the exact proportions of the lines between these three points for minimal fragmentation and optimization of movements while whirling.

As a connoisseur of shared and open spaces, our team defines another triangle that you can connect in your home – the one between the living room, dining room and kitchen. A fairly common way of combining between premises, especially for large families or companies. An advantage is the creation of a common environment that brings its own atmosphere to each corner, but naturally unites for more pleasant moments together.

We should not miss the importance when determining the leading colors in kitchen design. It is increasingly relevant to combine different tones and materials to be repeated on individual elements of the place. Our favorites are white, shades of gray, wood, marble. In this way, you do not limit yourself to one main shade, but combine several that complement each other and create depth. A good idea for more freshness is to have an active color that will be an accent in the space. In our SS-2 project, awarded with the award for Best Interior of Small Home, the deep blue refrigerator in retro style grabs attention. Transparent chairs help to feel more space in the otherwise small 48 sq. m. apartment. That is why in this project the design is entirely subordinated to compactness and space optimization.

Kitchen renovation is not an easy task, and it certainly takes time to find the perfect design that fits your essence. We hope that we have at least let the imagination run wild and given direction to ideas to discuss when planning.
