This 1,076sqf studio apartment in Budapest, Hungary is home to a well-known Hungarian painter. Designed by Gaspar Bonta, the interior spaces are kept clean and sleek, with generous wall space left to be decorated with art pieces.
For visual interest, a raw brick wall is the first thing one sees when entering the space, followed by black and white walls along the corridor into the living area.
A glimpse into the bedroom as you walk along the corridor, you'll spot a dark coloured wall with a striking red artwork sitting above a ledge, which the homeowner uses as a study table.
For visual continuity, an exposed brick wall adds texture and colours to the living and dining areas too.
Industrial-style pendant lights hang above the dining table to tie the look together, while a portrait artwork in the background adds a touch of quirkiness to the space.
An open kitchen sits right next to the dining area, with wood-look laminates used for the cabinetry. The blue backsplash contrasts with the warm tones, especially when the lights are switched on.
A smoky blue shade is used for the walls and room doors — a clever way to create a seamless look.
A dark colour palette is complemented with a wood toned bedframe and headboard. Cut-outs are created in the false ceiling for an interesting geometric feature.
Stone-look tiles are used for the bathroom, for an elegant, cosy ambience.
