Does the color tone of an interior always have to be consistent? Does betting on several color tones have to end up in blunders? As the realization of the Azul apartment project shows, not necessarily. Designers from Balicka Design studio showed how it can be done.

The project was located in an apartment in Warsaw's Mokotow district. The investor was a family of five, who wanted a space that was unique, functional and cozy. What distinguishes Azul is first of all an unusual color solution. In some interiors the title blue is visible, in others strong black and in still others, the warm color of brown wood.
The light gray blue is best seen in the kitchen

entering the house - the hallway
The cabinetry of the small hallway was fully dominated by a warm brown shade of wood. The entire furniture development, which serves as a closet, was kept in this tone. The door was also built into this part, without standing out from the rest. Black is pierced through in several places. The floor is a lighter accent - herringbone laid parquet.
The hallway is a uniform built-in

three-part living area
The kitchen, dining room and living room have been combined into one open space. In addition, each of them stands out aesthetically. The only thing they have in common is a diffused light arrangement and one type of flooring used.
The kitchen was separated by an island with high chairs. The dominant color in the development is the title Azul - a grayish blue shade, visible throughout the development. Black quartz sinters with dark veining were used at the hob and sink. The same material was also used as the casing of the kitchen island. This is the part where blue reigns, however.

The dining room is not separated in any way. It is located in the middle of the room. It's a long wooden table, around which there were interesting openwork chairs with unique curvilinear shapes. Above the table there were unique lamps, with interesting round shapes.

A grand piano stands in the living room. Here a lot of black and gray was put on. The walls were finished in black. Next to it there were large glass windows and an open space. The sofa stands out in white, and the pillows on it refer to the blue color scheme of the kitchen.

bedroom in the clouds
The bedroom with a dressing room replicates the color pattern from the kitchen - wood and light gray blue. The dressing room itself is dominated by dark gray. Most interesting is the use of wallpaper replicating the thread of engraved clouds. It gives a unique character to this interior.
The defining motif of the bedroom is the wallpaper behind the bed with a graphic motif of clouds
