When I made a decision to move into an old apartment which had last been renovated in the 2000s, everyone was skeptical and some even laughed at me. They wondered why my choice fell on such an ugly apartment until I showed it off after the radical renovation.
As it was quite spacious (76 square meters), it required a lot of work, sweat and money but I was eager to make myself a beautiful life in an apartment where I would feel in complete comfort. The previous residents redesigned the space many years ago and I definitely didn’t like it.
A decision was made to return it to the layout that the developer had envisioned with some new innovative and desirable changes one of which was to remove the kitchen from the hallway where the walls are now painted with washable light paint which is quite practical.
Here, one can see a niche to the left of the entrance. A hanging console with a mirror appeared in the hallway as well. What concerns the kitchen, its space was combined with the living room. There is a linear kitchen unit with white facades against the wall.
A round dining table stood here as well. In the living room area there is a large gray sofa and a TV set opposite. Closer to the window, there is an open shelving where my miniature library is located.
The bedroom features a comfortable double bed with a soft headboard. I placed bedside tables and built-in storage systems here too. There was enough space for a dressing room as well. I decided to use the other room as an office. It can be used as a guest room if needed.
The wardrobe here features mirror facades which makes the space visually bigger. I organized a workspace neat the window. The room also boasts a folding sofa which is placed against the wall. Turning to the bathroom, the walls are decorated with glossy blue-grey tiles and washable paint of a matching color. I gave my preference to a shower instead of a regular bath and I don’t regret it.
