Bright & Colorful Apartment in Oradea, Romania
Located in Oradea, Romania, this small apartment was designed as a bright and colorful home for a young couple. The day area features an open space living room with kitchen and a small bathroom, everything separated by a hidden furniture door that leads to the hallway and into the night area with a bedroom, a spare room (with office purpose) and the main bathroom.
The client wanted a modern, light design, with a fresh colorful look. Because it's quite a small apartment, we also focused our attention into getting the best possible mixture of furniture and storage space (for example, the hallway acts as a dressing area as well, with mirror doors on the wardrobes to enhance the sense of light and space).
Being North-oriented, we tried to enhance the beautifully diffused light as much as possible through the light colors and textures used - especially in the day area. For the night area we picked darker warm tones, to obtain a cozy, intimate effect in accordance with its destination.
We used 3dsMax and V-Ray to create the renders for the initial proposal as well as Corel Draw & SketchUp for floor plans and furniture details. The finished project was photographed by our colleague Andreea Iancu using a Canon 6D and Canon 17-40mm lens. Final tweaks (lens correction, minor brightness & contrast adjustments) were done in Adobe Lightroom.
Our client is happy with the end result - so we're proud of what we achieved.
The most important thing we learnt on this project is that sometimes you should remember to loosen up and get playful in your design approach.
This is a gorgeous interior design project! Keep 'em coming!
Thank you so much Chantal!
