The apartment in Lodz's Srodmiescie district was designed with the needs of a young man working outside the home in mind. The entire space is minimalist and at the same time maintained in soothing, natural shades, which is conducive to relaxation and tranquility after a busy day.
Maximum effect through minimum means
The architectural studio 3XEL Architects from Lodz is responsible for the design of the apartment. All rooms are dominated by natural materials, warm grays and whites and pleasing to the eye, organic forms. Everything is emphasized by thoughtful lighting and original decorative elements. Thanks to subdued and pleasing colors, materials and thoughtful decorations, the apartment of the young investor is timeless, but far from anonymous. The interiors were decorated to provide the owner with a tailor-made place to be his private, soothing oasis.

Refined details
The apartment is dominated by clean, simple forms, but it does not lack individual flair. This effect was achieved, among others, thanks to a painting by Emilia Lavrynowicz, which the artist painted especially for the arrangement of this interior. The painting was placed on the floor right next to the sofa. The architects took care of every detail, not forgetting the appropriate design even of such elements as radiators. The choice fell on a model that gives the possibility to configure both dimensions and power. Large white radiators in the living area (as well as in the bathroom) are themselves a distinctive decorative element. The stylistic dot over the "i" is the roller blinds on a roll - an elegant, minimalist and at the same time functional decoration of the living area windows.

Daily zone
After crossing the threshold of the apartment, we enter a bright hallway with a practical stool in broken white with an interesting streamlined form. The floors are covered with herringbone oak parquet. The living area, which connects the kitchen, dining room and living room, features a light gray sofa with a white table. All this makes this corner of the apartment a cozy place conducive to relaxation. The architects opted for minimalist furniture lacquered in semi-matte - such is the cabinet under the TV, for example, which is varied by decorative glassware with organic forms. The decorations on the table in the center of the living area are also a nod to nature.

Kitchen
The developer's original plan was to separate the kitchen. Ultimately, however, it was decided to open up the entire space, the focal point of which is an original island made of black ash veneer with an attached table and stylistically matching chairs. The object subtly yet clearly separates the individual zones. The bright kitchen, kept in whites and grays, is a specific background for the whole concept. Its minimalist character is emphasized by acrylic countertops and fluted hanging fronts.

Bedroom
Thebright, comfortable bedroom is kept in shades of white and beige, combining here the basic function of a cozy sleeping room with a small work area. Next to the large bed there is a small white cabinet with a desk chair and a wall-mounted reading lamp - also white. Dark beige curtains add elegance and a cozy feel to the bedroom. There is also no shortage of practical storage space: in the closet and under the bed.

Bathroom
Subdued, close to nature colors were also used in the bathroom, which was divided into zones thanks to a thoughtful arrangement of tiles. The floor and walls are covered with stoneware with a pattern and texture reminiscent of natural stone. In turn, a discreet decor - small glossy tiles with an irregular structure - was placed opposite the entrance, marking the shower area. Finally, white ceramics and chrome fittings in a modern style give the bathroom a timeless character.
