At first glance, the renovation of this rustic 2-storey apartment seems deceptively simple. However, the interior design truly comes alive with daring splashes of fiesta-inspired hues throughout. The interior designer from KZ Designs boldly embraced contrasting colours to create an unexpected and refreshingly vibrant atmosphere. From brilliant oranges to rich blues and soft yellows, this simple interior design packs a serious punch.
Rustic 2-storey apartment
The living room immediately grabs your attention with its arresting colours. A brilliant orange sofa and hand-painted accent wall in the same fierce shade anchor the space.
Warm wooden built-ins help frame the vibrant TV feature wall, giving it a touch of rustic charm. Jade green chairs and a light yellow ladder shelf mingle seamlessly with the citrus tones for an energetic colour palette that enlivens the room.
The fresh green view is framed by the hand-painted kitchen feature wall. The blue door frame completes the contrast.
Bold colour accents
Even the kitchen embraces the bold colour story! A whimsical hand-painted green feature wall frames stunning views of the lush outdoor scenery visible through the windows. In vivid contrast, the kitchen's doorframe is painted a rich cobalt blue that instantly catches the eye. This simple interior design trick infuses the functional space with trendy colour.
The orange and blue palette is continued in
the powder room.
Rustic bathroom mirror
Continuing the punchy blue and orange palette is the downstairs powder room. An intricate wooden mirror with ornate details provides a rustic contrast against the modern grey wall and concrete sink. The hand-painted blue wall tie the lively look together for a festive finish.
A palette of muted golds gives an understated, luxe look to the master bedroom and open bath.
Master bedroom with gentle tones
For a respite from the vivid colour story, the master bedroom and adjoining ensuite bathroom adopt a more muted yet still rustic aesthetic. Soft golden tones and relaxing neutrals replace the louder hues for a sense of luxurious calm in this private retreat.
Butterfly decals and a soft yellow feature wall cheer up the room to warm even the farthest corners.
Bright children's room
Entertaining yet another colour scheme is the delightfully cheery kid's room. A soft buttery yellow feature wall radiates warmth and happiness, complemented by whimsical butterfly decals. Hints of rustic charm through the wooden furniture keep the bright space grounded.
