Paris 14ᵉ: a former dark studio turned bright two-room apartment

The challenge: integrating an extra room while maintaining the fluidity of the space 35 m² Paris, France 55 000 € Contemporary classic One-bedroom Enoplide

In this 20-square-meter former studio apartment, the kitchen now takes center stage. It previously occupied the entire single room of this space, which gained an additional 15 square meters as part of the construction of a new adjacent building.

Open to the living room for greater conviviality, this new kitchen is an anchor between the bedroom and the living room.

IKEA furniture, walnut doors and pink zellige credenza create a warm, graphic ensemble.

A clever feature: a retractable table integrated into the countertop transforms the space as needed.

The rounded wall on the right adds softness to the living area and amplifies the sense of volume.

 

 

 

The original room of this former studio opens onto the new adjoining space through a rounded green archway. Double exposure and engineered oak parquet bring a certain clarity to this new two-room apartment. Every nook and cranny is optimized with custom-made storage units, maximizing space and ensuring a smooth flow of movement.
 
The bedroom faces east and benefits from soft, diffused light. Dressing room and custom-made corner desk fit perfectly into this peaceful refuge.
The bathroom, which has no doors, lets the light in through its glass transom.
Zellige tiles and Casalux porcelain stoneware mosaic elegantly adorn the bathroom. A wooden vanity unit and Photowall wallpaper complete the soothing atmosphere.
