Natural, simple and in wood colors. This is how you can describe the realization of the Balicka Design studio, which for a family of four created a unique mix of styles.

Interior design for a family of 2+2 was a unique opportunity. Above all, the designers opted for an eclectic mix of styles. The interiors designed by Balicka Design reveal references to Scandinavian minimalism, modern farmhouse style and industrial character. How do they combine these elements? The project was named Casablanca, which refers to the inspiration of the movie in the interior.

first impression - vestibule
The space between the living room and the door to the house was separated by a small glazing in white wooden frames. Next to it was a small dressing room for residents and guests. On the walls there were vertical planks, which are far from the classic view of wainscoting. The planks create a natural, pleasant character. The furniture in the hallway is simple wooden forms.

tripartite space
Moving from the hallway, we find ourselves in the living room space, which is directly connected to the dining room and kitchen. The floor is dominated by a simple wooden parquet floor. On the ceiling, the rhythm of the interior is set by wooden beams that also serve a structural function. The living room is mainly focused on the minimalist sofa and armchairs kept in gray colors. This is an element that refers to classic Scandinavian design. Above the coffee table in this section was a large openwork lamp. A wooden bookcase is visible at the back.

The dining room was in no way separated by an additional architectural barrier, passing freely. A long wooden table in natural color contrasts with black chairs with wicker backs. Two openwork lamps, which evoke macramé in their design, were also placed above this area.

The kitchen was closed off on one side with a kitchen island. It's a small space, compared to the living room or dining room. Wood and white reign here, not coincidentally. The fronts are mostly minimalist built-ins, the decoration of which is limited to contrasting black-colored handles.

work and privacy - the study
The study is a more private space, which was located on the first floor of the house. Again, as in the rest of the house, the wooden and white cabinetry draws attention. An interesting solution is a small desk on legs pointed at an oblique angle. This space is smaller, more intimate and private.

continuation of wood and white - children's rooms
It is in the space of children's rooms that one would look for, a departure from this uniform, delicate arrangement based on wood and an eclectic mix based on modern farm. However, the designers at Balicka Design decided to go for the same style. Two rooms were arranged here - for a girl and a boy.
The girl's room is dominated primarily by a love of nature, the forest and animals. The bed, whose frame mimics the structures of the house, is located behind a delicate pastel wallpaper with a birch forest motif. The furniture mimics animals in an interesting way. This is the effect of minimalist accessories.

The boy's room is a space where the love of motoring and aviation becomes apparent. Above the bed there were models of airplanes, on the wall posters related to aviation. On the wallpaper, also softly pastel, you can see flying planes evoking the Wright brothers' prototypes.
