A family apartment in Warsaw where 79 m² hold a large kitchen-living room with a dining area, a parents’ bedroom, two kids’ rooms, a bathroom and a separate shower room. Our apartment design with two kids’ rooms is built on a warm palette — wood, graphite accents, grey decorative plaster and, in the bathrooms, travertine-look and brown marble-look porcelain. A calm, practical interior the whole family wants to come back to.
Read moreThe brief
The apartment already had finishes, some furniture and a kitchen. The task was to turn it into a comfortable home for a family with two children: a room of their own for each child, storage for everyone, a living room with a big dining table and refreshed bathrooms — while keeping what still worked well: the wooden floor in the rooms, part of the kitchen, the dining table and chairs, and the vanity units.

The SPACE DESIGN solution
We worked with the existing space and added custom-made furniture, lighting and new finishes. Walls are painted white and warm beige with black and graphite accents; decorative plaster appears in the entrance and living area. Lighting combines track systems, surface-mounted spotlights, wall lights and LED profiles in furniture and ceilings at a warm 3000 K.
Kitchen-living room
The main zone of almost 37 m² brings together the entrance, kitchen and living room. The existing kitchen was refreshed with a new worktop and handles, and a 3.5 m tall unit in wood-effect and graphite fronts was added along the wall, housing built-in appliances and open shelves. A wood-lined niche with LED lighting frames the work area. The eight-seat dining table sits under a black pendant light, facing a TV wall with a white marble-look panel, a floating wood-effect console and concealed lighting. A corner sofa and a round wooden side table create a cosy lounge by the window.
Read moreEntrance hall
A wooden slatted partition with a plant separates the entrance from the living room without blocking the light. By the door there is a bench with a shoe shelf and wall hooks, plus a full-height mirror. The corridor to the private rooms is kept minimal: white doors with black handles and surface-mounted downlights.
Bedroom
The upholstered bed stands against a wood-effect panelled wall with black wall lights. The opposite wall is decorated with beige geometric mouldings, and by the entrance there is a mirrored wardrobe, an LED-lit shelving unit and a wardrobe with a lit hanging rail.
Read moreKids’ rooms
Two kids’ rooms of 9–10 m² share a light base but each has its own character. The first has an upholstered bed with a safety rail, a long lit shelf above it and a floor-to-ceiling wardrobe with an open toy niche. The second has an upholstered bed, a built-in wardrobe with niches and a play corner with a teepee, a children’s table and a chalkboard wall. In both rooms the curtains are hidden in lit ceiling recesses.
Bathroom and shower room
In the bathroom, walls and floor are finished in large-format beige travertine-look porcelain, with a brown marble-look feature wall behind the freestanding bathtub. The existing vanity received a vessel basin, a concealed wall-mounted mixer and a round backlit mirror. The shower room combines the same materials with a wooden panel: a concealed rain shower behind a glass screen, a wall-hung WC and black wall shelves.
