A Vibrant Kraków Apartment Filled With Playful, Pastel Hues

3:31 PM ,

Located in the center of Kraków, Poland, this 80-square-meter apartment (approx. 861 square feet) is the new home of a creative pair with a deep love of modern art and vibrant aesthetics. The colorful space, designed by Anna Baranowska and Joanna Felczuk of Butterfly Studio, with styling by Eliza Mrozińska, is a shining example of when combining bold shades with delectable details come together perfectly. Another love the couple shares is for terrazzo, as evident throughout the space, where this versatile material graces tiles, countertops, and even flower pots. The playful yet sophisticated terrazzo patterns beautifully complement the pastel hues, especially the dominant pink that weaves through the apartment’s narrative.

Stepping into the kitchen, one is immediately struck by its unique layout. In lieu of the traditional kitchen island, the design features a central table and an innovative ceiling installation that serves both aesthetic and practical purposes – it conceals an unexpected structural change and houses a retractable projector screen. The kitchen’s character is further amplified by the dark pink grout between white tiles, adding a whimsical yet cohesive touch to the space.

The designers’ ingenuity extends to every corner, including the needs of the apartment’s four-legged resident. The bathroom features a cleverly designed cabinet with a built-in litter box and a small passage for the cat. This thoughtful inclusion ensures that all household members can navigate the space with ease. Adjacent to this feline-friendly setup are built-in cabinets hiding a washing machine and dryer, optimizing functionality without compromising on style.

Each detail, meticulously planned and executed, has transformed the apartment into their ideal sanctuary for living and working. It’s a home that not only meets but exceeds their expectations, for now and hopefully many years to come.
