The owner of ARTchitektura studio has created a design for a two-level apartment in Zielona Gora. The arrangement by Samanta Michalewicz is a perfect example of combining sophisticated design with functionality.
Unusual layout
The apartment surprises with its layout. Usually two-story houses or apartments have the private part upstairs. Here, however, the bedrooms are located on the lower floor. The owners, are a young couple who travel a lot. The apartment was therefore intended to be a place for relaxation. However, the investors wanted an elegant arrangement. So the architect opted for a warm color game, which adds to the coziness. It is complemented by gold accessories contrasting with noble black.

Between luxury and coziness
The designer had to adapt the existing layout to the individual needs of the owners. Therefore, she separated a person, a large bedroom area. The arrangement is based on dark and warm colors, which create a soothing atmosphere. To enhance the sense of coziness and increase the comfort of the residents, the space was further soundproofed with upholstery and carpeting on a foam mat. The spacious bed, headrest and pouffe were made according to Samanta Michalewicz's individual design. Soft fabrics lend coziness, and their copper tones stand out beautifully against the black background.

Dark accents
The boldest element of the arrangement is the all-black wall. The door placed on it, the dressing table and the cabinet hanging above it are also of the same shade. This makes the surface seem almost monolithic. The doors and furniture blend into the background, creating a minimalist effect that emphasizes the modern character of the interior. This bold design decision helps focus attention on the contrasting gold details, giving the entire space a sophisticated feel. Against the background of the light, cream-colored walls, contrast the dark vertical panels that frame around the TV. This creates an interesting visual effect. In addition, the mirrors, placed on the right side, optically enlarge the space, adding depth and introducing a play of light.

Classics in a new edition
The dressing room space was carefully planned to accommodate both clothing and accessories, while creating a comfortable place to get ready. The white built-ins are finished with gold-plated handles, which add elegance to the furniture. Open shelves allow easy access to clothes, while roomy lower drawers offer storage space for smaller items. The combination of dark, walls with light-colored furniture creates a pleasant contrast, which gives the interior depth. In addition, the wardrobe build-out cleverly hides the boxes and found developer build-outs protruding from the walls.

With attention to detail
Also noteworthy is the dressing table equipped with a mirror with lighting for easy makeup application. Upholstered stool in bright colors perfectly matches the minimalist design of the dressing table. The dark ceiling gives the room an intriguing modern flair, and the natural light coming through the window enlivens the space. The whole is crowned with accessories. A decorative painting and ornate feathers next to the dressing table give the room an individual character.
- Designing, such sophisticated interiors I am guided by the words of J.W. Osaka "L'élégance ne doit rien au hasard", that is, elegance has nothing to do with chance. Here every detail matters, one follows from the other," explains the owner of ARTchitektura studio.
