Does the monkey connect with classic design?

31 of March '22

For many architects and interior designers, the most difficult projects are often not large-scale projects, but those that are meant to be organized for personal use. This was also the case with the interior design of The Wall studio.

The architectcouple had quite a challenge - designing a space for their own use. They began by changing the functional layout - transforming four small chambers on the first floor into spacious rooms. The house was also divided into two parts. The first floor, which we will focus on in this article, functions as a common area. It was divided into a living room, a large kitchen, a comfortable bathroom with a laundry room and a technical area.

a place where black and white reign supreme

The common area was to be kept in a minimalist trend - without introducing any necessary objects. An interesting solution is the development of the wall in the living room - the simple, irregular form of the edges is to evoke the impression of the Bauhaus. To this was added the unique Egg Chair designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958. White prevails in all elements of the interior - the floor, curtains, walls and built-ins. Against this background, the aforementioned chairs and lamps stand out.

Continuation of the contrast along with a colorful accent

Much more black colors appear in the kitchen. The entire kitchen is pure black with unique textured fronts of geometric character. In this way, the white of the dining area is balanced. There is another unique accent in this interior - a dark pink curtain hung on the wall between the windows. The purpose of the curtain is to bring out the standard shape of the lamps with a repeating spherical shape.

Also visible in the kitchen is a painting by Edyta Grzyb - not coincidentally chosen for this interior.

It was the artwork that prompted the colors we used in the design of the house," says Patrycja Sliż of The Wall studio.

Do monkeys dream of colorful bathrooms?

A unique accent in the first floor restroom is the bathroom. It is the only place in the rest area that strikes a completely different color tone. It is dominated by pale pink with black. These colors are interspersed among the elements and accessories. However, the most eye-catching is the monkey figure next to the mirror, which, climbing up the interior, also serves as a lighting feature.

just the beginning

The rest area is one part of the interior designed by The Wall for personal use. It is dominated by a leakingly organized space with classic furniture, the dominance of white and black, and subtle breakthroughs. The private zone, quite different from the lounge area, will be the subject of another article.
