Think Pink
Facing a pre-planned room layout, both in terms of wall division and system installation, is not, from a design perspective, the ideal situation in which we like to operate.
In cases where (rare, indeed) the circumstance arises to intervene at a stage of the work that is partially defined, we need to multiply our efforts in order to enhance the reality to be “dressed” at its best.
This is the case, for example, with this lovely two-room apartment.
Living area-Kitchen
The main critical issue, observed during the very first inspections, concerned the kitchen, which was excessively cramped in the living room.
The problem was overcome by merging the two rooms: our proposal, therefore, was born from the need to no longer consider the environment as a normal open space, but as a real and expanded living area.
To this end, in the bright and white kitchen (Cesar Maxima 2.2) overlooking the large private outdoor area, the absence of handles in the furnishings is immediately noticeable, as well as the elegant space-saving solution offered by the table designed by Ozzio Italia, paired with Midj chairs.
A cleanliness of lines capable of igniting, on one hand, the design philosophy and, on the other hand, providing the creative tools necessary to ensure the autonomy of the spaces.
In the small living room, practicality reigns with the Ditre Italia sofa, as well as the TV unit, extremely light and clean, almost aseptic. An option that produces a double effect: it does not weigh down the area while providing greater depth.
Respecting the tastes and personality of the clients, the proposed colors alternate between soft grays, bright whites, and pink, a migrating shade within the apartment.
So much design linearity deserved, however, a decorative break.
Indeed, a gust of color with floral notes, emanating from the wallpaper (precisely pink) signed “Inkiostro bianco,” dominates unchallenged on the short side of the living room wall.
The color extends to the ceiling, with the same width as the wallpaper, symbolizing the existing connection between the rooms.
In short, an ideal embrace capable of breaking every roughness, but also ensuring harmony, movement, and rhythm to the concept.
Returning to pink, in its own way a protagonist of the project, it finds references both in the back of the pink lacquered glass snack counter (Midj stools) and in the fantasy textures of the chairs, a circumstance that gives the interiors an almost Dickensian novel flavor, albeit reinterpreted in a contemporary version.
Of course, storage spaces are not lacking.
Sleeping area
Therefore, wardrobes in the night corridor, in the most intimate room of the house (managed with light grays and, needless to say, pink), and in the master bedroom.
In the sleeping area, on the wall of the bed headboard, a distinctly Seventies wallpaper produced by Glamora finds hospitality, decorated with floating circles: a game that repeats itself, aimed at reinterpreting the past in a modern key.
The furniture and the bedroom set are signed Battistella 53.
