Elegant apartment in Silesia designed by Joanna Ochota and Agnieszka Gadoń-Murek

22 of June '20

Wood is an extremely graceful material to work with in interior design. Depending on how it is processed and juxtaposed with other design elements, it is possible to create a wide variety of arrangements using it. Traditional, modern, minimalist, eclectic - wood gives the interior a feeling of coziness, but also style. An example is an apartment in the Dąbrowa Basin.

Experts who design luxury interiors create such compositions so that they can fully respond to all the needs of the residents, while meeting their unique and non-standard expectations. An example of such an implementation is the arrangement of a modern house in Silesia. Responsible for the project are architect Joanna Ochota and creative designer Agnieszka Gradoń-Murek, who were guided by the principle of creating high-class rooms full of warmth and comfort.

The kitchen is the heart of the home

The fact that the kitchen is the true heart of the home has for years been determined by its functionality and the fact that it is in this room that we spend many hours each day. However, this saying became particularly relevant when kitchens open to the living room were popularized in Poland. Thus, they turned into an inseparable part of carefully constructed arrangements that bring together both household members and guests in one place. When kitchens began to play the first decorative fiddle, the approach to arranging them also changed. The designer of the kitchen of a house located in the Zagłębie Dąbrowskie region also focused on polishing the arrangement of this room.

The design of the kitchen assumed the creation of a space that is the heart of the home, where the family spends a lot of time preparing meals together. At the first moment, attention is to be drawn to the island, which "grows" from the floor, levitating slightly above it. This white element perfectly harmonizes with the high kitchen cabinets and suspended ceiling. The color scheme of the entire room is also dominated by white. For me, this color in architecture is like a canvas for a painting, which is expressed by other solutions, details, accessories or - as in this project - the beautiful view outside the window. It is against the white background that the other elements take on a glow.
The arrangement was intended to be consistent and economical in expression. Jewelry for the kitchen are brass vertical slats, which optically elevate the room. The interior colors are the combinations in which the investors feel most comfortable. The modern arrangement is warmed by wood, making the interior very cozy. Contrasts add elegance and character. My main task was to take care of finishing details, to find solutions that fully meet the needs and expectations of the Investors and to lead the project from the design stage until installation," says creative designer Agnieszka Gradoń-Murek.

in scandinavian style

Scandinavian style has been reigning in global interior trends for years, which is why some of the elements attributed to it are so readily used in many home arrangements. Wood and wood-like materials typical of this style bring harmony to the rooms and a sense of closeness to nature. The exclusive implementation of the kitchen fit perfectly into the extravagant, contrast-based design. One of the main elements you'll notice as soon as you enter the property is the unique, avant-garde hanging cabinet. The wooden piece of furniture is mounted inversely to the accepted designs, that is, to the ceiling, leaving a suitable space at the bottom filled with a sheet of mirror.

Another unusual element of this project is a dressing room finished in boutique style. It is a room that perfectly fulfills its function regarding storage, but also becomes an additional decoration that matches the whole house. The dressing room has been planned in such a way that the residents have easy access to clothes and accessories, feeling in this space like a luxurious living room. The dressing room guarantees maximum use of space and convenient organization of storage of clothes, accessories or jewelry. The dominant color scheme is black and gray, giving the interior even more elegance and intimacy.

elegant bathroom

Following a consistent concept, the designers created a bathroom filled with light and space. White in the interior design emphasizes its elegance and introduces aesthetic harmony in its overall perception. The bathroom cabinetry combines high functionality for everyday life with fashionable, minimalist furnishings that fit in with the prestigious design of the entire house. When creating luxurious designs, architects place as much emphasis on functionality as on the aesthetics of the finish and the consistency of the arrangement. Changing trends and access to modern solutions allow dream ideas to become reality.
