Previously, we have already presented the living zone and kitchen of Agnieszka Konieczna's house. Today we take a look at the arrangement of the private zone.
A stylish mix
The private area is located on the first floor. Besides bathroom, it consists of a bedroom and two studies. White, black and gray create a color base of these rooms. In many places you can also see tiles imitating marble and gold accents. These arrangements exemplify a modern interior, where different styles intermingle.
- There is a lot of stucco on the walls, which I personally love! Also, I have put a rarely used portal bio-fireplace in my office — describes the architect, Agnieszka Konieczna.

A corridor full of contrasts
Let's start by paying attention to the corridor. In this case, it is not just a passageway, but also a space with a bold decorative element. It's a wallpaper that fully covers one of the walls. The white and gray graphic depicts a pattern reminiscent of those appearing on famous Turkish carpets. It also hides the entrance to the bathroom, which, thanks to the use of the same wallpaper on the door, is almost invisible. The rest of the walls have been covered with coffee-toned paint. However an interesting juxtaposition is created by the contrast between the black ceiling and the light-colored floor tiled in a marble pattern. The balustrade, composed solely of a sheet of smoked glass, provides security, while being a modern touch that contrasts well with the classic elements of the design.

In golden light
The focal point of the bedroom is a large upholstered bed. The headboard, covered with gray velour, has been equipped with electrical outlets. This practical solution is especially important due to the fact that the furniture does not stand against the wall. A lot of varied lighting was used here. On a small gold table next to the bed there is a black and white lamp with a lampshade in the form of a ball. Meanwhile, above the bed hangs a striking spreading lamp resembling a branch. The architect also took advantage of the slant under which the bed is located, hanging another light fixture on it. This time these are two lamps with an interesting elongated form.

A prominent element in the design of this room is a black wall decorated with a lot of stucco. It features a television and a big mirror. The monolithic combination of the dark wall and screen was broken with a contrasting white cabinet and a light-colored floor. A beauty corner was arranged behind the bed. Old desk in a classic shape functions here as a dressing table. The vintage-style furniture was covered with black paint. This element is another example of an interesting combination of modernity and tradition. Everything is complemented by a golden standing lamp and a modern chair upholstered in the same fabric as the bed.

Two versions of the home office
The architect wanted to create separate work areas for herself and her husband. The designer's office is a consistent stylistic continuation. On the white walls, stucco appears again. This time marble takes the form of a desk with gold legs, and the contrast is achieved with a black fireplace. The mirror above it optically enlarges the space and beautifully reflects the illuminated bookcase placed opposite. Everything is complemented by a golden coffee table and a small gray sofa, which is a great place to spend moments of relaxation or receive guests.

The second home office is a darker version of the architect's study. Here, the white wall is also covered with stucco, however, it smoothly transitions into a massive black cabinet. This furniture is a great place to store all the necessary documents. It is also a place for a television. The dark wooden desk has the golden legs we already know from the previous room. Right next to it is placed a capacious cabinet consisting of two parts. The first is built-in, while the second is an illuminated bookcase, similar to the one in the designer's office. Similarly, there is also a lounge area. The gray sofa is complemented by an armchair and tables with a marble patterned top.
