ABOUT THE PROJECT
This project was carried out for a wonderful young family. It was their first real estate purchase in Amsterdam after many years of renting. They were looking for something new, different from the typical white walls and minimalist design often found in the Netherlands. They decided to move away from the traditional Scandinavian style and seek a more welcoming and comfortable atmosphere that reflected their personal tastes and preferences.
CUSTOMER
Our clients work in the field of IT and programming, lead active lifestyles, love to travel, and seek new experiences. In their home, they wanted to combine all their interests, despite their diversity. They are open-minded people who need several workspaces to change their scenery. They dreamed of a cozy kitchen for entertaining guests and a living room that would become the center of family relaxation. That's why there are two different sofas in the living room: one masculine and one feminine. They were open to experimentation and placed special importance on the use of the latest lighting technologies, including Philips Hue.

RESULT
We completely transformed the initial appearance of the apartment, introducing color, textures, and unique lighting. Under certain conditions, the young family's apartment can be transformed from a cozy home into a real nightclub. In the main area, we connected the kitchen and living room with decorative metal columns, which will be decorated with plants in the future. In the kitchen, we added color and volume with decorative bricks on the wall.
We complemented the kitchen set with additional upper drawers, decorative shelves, and a sideboard with sliding doors for dishes and spirits. The living room is divided into male and female areas, but the sofas are arranged facing each other to facilitate conversation. The main accent of the living room is the wall, adorned with decorative concrete panels.
We also transformed the balcony into a cozy place to relax, with wooden flooring and brightly colored woven chairs. Numerous green plants in special holders on the balcony add a touch of nature to the living room and kitchen. The liveliest room in this project was the bedroom. We all loved the contrast of the light-colored whitewashed wooden floor with the bright blue walls.
We complemented the walls with decorative moldings to give the room an elegant feel. To create contrast, we used decorative wallpaper with a concrete pattern on the radius wall. It may seem a little eccentric, but we like it. The composition was completed with a famous pendant lamp by French designer Mark Eden Schooley—the Koushi Lamp—and decorative sconces next to the bed.
