Vera’s family purchased a three-room apartment measuring 63 square meters. As often happens, the renovation took longer than expected, made even more complex by their decision to completely redesign the space and remove all the old interior elements, including flooring and wall coverings.
This article focuses on perhaps the most functional part of the home—the kitchen. Vera ordered a design plan but didn’t work directly with the designer. Instead, the project was developed with the active involvement of the apartment’s owners. While they made several changes to the proposed design, they still chose to implement some of the suggested ideas.
The kitchen’s work area floor was covered with eye-catching, non-standard hexagonal tiles, giving it a stylish and creative touch. The rest of the flooring was finished with a dark, elegant parquet. The walls were painted in a deep yet muted blue shade, striking a balance between boldness and sophistication.
For the kitchen set, the owners opted for snow-white facades, even though the original design plan suggested a different approach. These cabinets, inspired by classic British style, contrast beautifully with the dark walls and complement the unique floor tiles.
Initially, Vera planned to use the same hexagonal tiles for the backsplash as those on the floor, but their shape and size didn’t align well. After careful consideration, she chose a different tile style in matching colors, spending three hours arranging the elements on the floor to ensure the best composition.
One of the biggest layout changes came with the bar counter. Due to slight miscalculations and limited space, it was moved to the window niche, replacing the original windowsill. This adjustment not only made the bar area brighter but also allowed for a more efficient use of space.
In the end, the completed kitchen turned out quite different from the initial design project, but that made it even more unique. The owners infused the space with their own creativity and personal touch, resulting in a kitchen that is not only functional but also original, inviting, and truly their own.
