On February 14, we celebrate Valentine's Day. To celebrate the holiday of lovers, we decided to take a look at arrangements that use the color of love - red. From small accessories to bold, colorful walls. Get inspired by 5 projects of top Polish architects.
Bold bathroom design
Red in the bathroom? Why not! Malgorzata Wojtyczka of Wojtyczka Design Studio has created a unique design filled with warm, saturated colors that pulse with life. The arrangement is extremely fiery. Already from the entrance we are greeted by juicy red. Tiles of this color cover the walls of the bathroom. Their elongated form adds a touch of retro character, and the use of grout in a similar color, further emphasizes the intensity of the red.
- Designing a distinctive, interesting space is not always such a simple matter. Welding the wishes of investors and my idea of interiors into a coherent whole, I try to design with some moderation to keep the interior in good taste. With a multitude of colors, patterns, materials and textures, you can't forget to introduce a little breath into the interior, places where the eye can rest for a while, in order to suspend it again after a while on interesting details. This is one of my fundamental design principles," the architect points out.

A cozy rendition of red
For the design of the bedroom of a 238-square-meter house in Sroda Wielkopolska, Jan Sekuła of Zarysy studio relied on contrasting juxtapositions. The arrangement combines raw materials with the warmth of wood and a multitude of textures. The gray of the stone floor is punctuated by expressive soft quilting behind the bed. The texture of the quilting combined with the felt gives the interior a cozy feel. The wooden milled wall emphasizes the minimalist character of the arrangement.

Sublime arrangement with a touch of color
The apartment of architects from Kamińska Stańczak Design islocated in the Ażurowe Okiennic estate in Warsaw's Mokotów district. The interior is distinguished by subdued colors, large windows, noble materials and refined details. However, it does not lack bolder accents either. Dark red upholstered chairs in the dining room enliven the space and give it an elegant character. This effect is enhanced by an intriguing gold lamp suspended above the table.

New life for an old granary
Architectural firm We Know Each Other has carried out a metamorphosis of an old granary located in Wroclaw . The designers combined modern furnishings with the historic structure of the building. The walls were painted white while the furniture has intense colors and always comes in a concave or convex form.
- Such spaces do not need much. The most important thing is not to spoil what is," the designers pointed out.

The art of handling red
We present another apartment of the architect, who opted for red. This time you will find this shade mainly in accents, however, they are the ones that give the space a unique expression. Aldona Banasiuk-Suchorzewska's apartment, located in the heart of Wroclaw, is located on the top floor of a building located on an island surrounded by water. Its interior, however, has a "fiery" atmosphere. The first element that appeared in the interior and around which the whole story was built, became a painting form made by Robert Jaworski. The intense red color of the painting, became the basis of the color palette of the interior. On impulse, a red ceiling was even created in one of the rooms. Thus, against a neutral base of ubiquitous concrete, colors appeared in the interior.
