Choosing your future home
While searching for a future home, many believe that they do not require assistance. Then again, others believe they are alone, and that no one is available to help.
In both cases it often happens that the decision we make during the purchase of our future home is not the best, or most effective. Ideally before making the purchase, the buyer should consider whether or not the home will be furnished by themselves or done with the help of an architect, possibly an interior designer.
If you choose to accept such services, it is a great advantage to do so as soon as possible. A good architect can help you evaluate potential properties, their current technical conditions, possibly recommend changes in the floor plan or future facilities, and last but not least, estimate the investment costs that await you on this trip.
We at Archstyl are continuously trying to help our clients by providing advice in selecting their future home in order to meet all their criteria while at the same time ensuring that it’s a good investment for the future.

We designed the cozy two-room apartment in Kramáre in the spirit of simple lines with elements of Nordic design. The apartment owner favors the colorful art movement known as pop art. Their rich collection of posters, illustrations and photographs from famous photographers were asked to be kept in sight. Color and material composition of the furniture and other elements are therefore rather simple, having to adapt to the bright colors of pop art. You will not find any prominent design fads, since all the attention is focused on the owner’s collection. We’ve also thought ahead, creating enough space for new pieces, which can still be added to the collection.
Materials
The interior is dominated by pure white paint on the walls and furniture. In the case of the kitchen cabinets, a high gloss is used, while the other furniture pieces sport a matte finish. The color scheme is complemented with subtle accents found in curtains or a significant dining table.

The bleached oak laminate also acts as a neutralizer. Essentially dull colors, however justified when combining with a wide range of colors that are provided by the owner’s collection of pop art posters and illustrations.

Disposition
The interior is sunny and bright thanks to its southwest orientation. Its layout can be considered nowadays as standard, with subdivided day and night areas. What is missing is an entrance hall, which would visually separate the day area. This disadvantage we partially softened by extending the kitchen cabinets, thus creating a break between these two spaces.
Day area
The day area is comprised of a kitchen connected to the living room. The kitchen area is dominated by the L-shaped countertop, with built-in appliances and glass screen. The rest of the room is beautifully separated by a custom-made dining table, supplemented by four designer chairs and NUD hanging lightbulbs. The area is relatively small, so the kitchen we’ve created a full kitchen with dining room.
The rest of the space is dedicated to the living room, where the accommodation is rather simple. Open shelves attract the view, which serve as a gallery for the owner’s collection of books and photography.
Night area
The bedroom space is adequate, but not very practical with its rectangular floor plan. This apparent disadvantage we’ve used to their advantage. From the unused space at the entrance to the bathroom, we created a closet. The closet space is generous, with lots of storage space that could easily make any wife’s dream come true.
Comfort for relaxation is also found in the bathroom, which in this apartment is available only through the bedroom. We’ve managed to include all necessary amenities that a modern woman would need, but still retain its simple design and character. From the amount of storage space, and large mirrors, to the built-in washing machine with combined bath and shower.
Furniture and accessories
Furniture in the interior, besides the seating, were all designed and custom tailored. That fact that we created furniture exactly according to the customer’s needs, allowed total control over the look of the entire space. The design of the furniture takes on the colors and materials of the entire interior. A combination of matte and glossy white color creates harmony within the entire apartment and a sense of material consistency.
The simplicity of the interior is also seen in the accessories. There are not a lot of them there, however deliver an original touch. At the entrance we find a hanger in form of multicolored buttons, where in the main living area they are woven carpets from Nordic Day with a variety of geometric patterns.
