Discover the Perfect Fusion of Elegance and Minimalism in Our 48 sqm Japandi Apartment

"I love the idea of people personalizing their old furnitures instead of buying new. Adding a new accessory, as new legs for your sofa or changing the knobs in your kitchen, can really make the difference. My vision is to always be ”early on the ball” with the coming trends, both in interior and fashion, giving our customers new ways to express themselves."

"Follow along as we recount the journey of turning a studio into a stylish one-bedroom retreat with a completely new look and feel. These initial images capture the exciting renovation process.

Our process began by deconstructing walls, allowing us to strategically reconstruct them exactly where we envisioned. The bedroom took top priority as a sanctuary for peaceful nights amidst the ongoing renovation. We reimagined the layout by relocating the kitchen and enhancing the bathroom to align with our vision for the perfect space.

With the foundational changes complete, our attention turned to the finer details—choosing vibrant colors, selecting furniture, and perfecting the interior design.

Experience the art of color progression in our home, seamlessly transitioning from darker tones near the windows to lighter hues in the distance. Our kitchen vision came to life with light pine wood fronts, crafted with a personal touch by creating bespoke doors for our existing kitchen units.

For added storage, we implemented a clever IKEA hack, incorporating three Ivar drawers under the bed. Achieving a cohesive look, we adorned the integrated fridge/freezer with two Prettypegs Lilian knobs in ash, complemented by a Frank knob in ash for hanging the kitchen towel.

In our spacious main room, the need for a lengthy sofa inspired a hands-on approach. Seeking seamless integration with our home's aesthetic, we took matters into our own hands and crafted a bespoke sofa from pine wood. The design features IKEA Delaktig pillows for added comfort, Bemz fabrik for a personalized touch, and the stylish Prettypegs Svea legs.

Maximizing every inch of our compact hallway, we opted for a lighter color palette to brighten the space, situated furthest from natural light. The entire area received a fresh coat of paint, including IKEA Frän shoe-racks, harmonizing with the serene color scheme. To enhance functionality, we added natural ash Bill knobs, providing additional hooks on the wall.
