Ristrutturazione appartamento via Costabella (Prati) Roma

VINCENZO MEZZACANE

L'appartamento prevede un piccolo monolocale cui si accede dall'ingresso per ospitare in completa autonomia eventuali ospiti. Una neutra e semplice cucina è disposta sulla parete di fondo, nessun pensile o elemento alto ne segano la presenza. Un mobile libreria cela un letto che all'esigenza si apre ribaltandosi a separare in 2 lo spazio. Delle bellissime piastrelle di graniglia presenti nell'appartamento fin dai primi anni del 900 sono state accuratamente asportate e poi rimontate in disegni diversi da quelli originali per adattarli ai nuovi ambienti che si sono venuti a formare; ai loro lati sono state montate delle nuove piastrelle sempre in graniglia di un neutro colore chiaro.

A modern retro living room

PL Studio

The vision for the living room of this 1960's apartment in Milan was to create a design that reflected the character and age of the property. We kept some of the original features like the beautiful terrazzo floors and some of the existing pieces like the burgundy sofa and the original curtains, and chosen vintage furniture to add an elegant retro vibe, whilst keeping the free-flowing interiors light and airy. The artwork is an homage to surrealism and the 1970's orange TV brightens up the space with a splash of vivid colour against the shell-pink walls.

Coastal Terraced House

Studio Dean

This re-imagined open plan space where a white gloss galley once stood offers a stylish update on the traditional kitchen layout. The removal of all wall cabinets opens out the room to add much needed light and create a vista. Focus is drawn to areas of special focus using the patterned tiles creating carpets to house each of the zones. This is now a multifunctional space to be enjoyed by all family members.

Plenty of seating in this space. The blue chairs add an unexpected pop of color to the charm of the dining table. The exposed beams, shiplap ceiling and flooring blend together in warmth. The Wellborn cabinets and beautiful quartz countertop are light and bright. The acrylic counter stools keeps the space open and inviting. This is a space for family and friends to gather.

The existing kitchen was in a word, "stuck" between the family room, mudroom and the rest of the house. The client has renovated most of the home but did not know what to do with the kitchen. The space was visually cut off from the family room, had underwhelming storage capabilities, and could not accommodate family gatherings at the table. Access to the recently redesigned backyard was down a step and through the mud room. We began by relocating the access to the yard into the kitchen with a French door. The remaining space was converted into a walk-in pantry accessible from the kitchen. Next, we opened a window to the family room, so the children were visible from the kitchen side. The old peninsula plan was replaced with a beautiful blue painted island with seating for 4. The outdated appliances received a major upgrade with Sub Zero Wolf cooking and food preservation products. The visual beauty of the vaulted ceiling is enhanced by long pendants and oversized crown molding. A hard-working wood tile floor grounds the blue and white colorway. The colors are repeated in a lovely blue and white screened marble tile. White porcelain subway tiles frame the feature. The biggest and possibly the most appreciated change to the space was when we opened the wall from the kitchen into the dining room to connect the disjointed spaces. Now the family has experienced a new appreciation for their home. Rooms which were previously storage areas and now integrated into the family lifestyle. The open space is so conducive to entertaining visitors frequently just "drop in”. In the dining area, we designed custom cabinets complete with a window seat, the perfect spot for additional diners or a perch for the family cat. The tall cabinets store all the china and crystal once stored in a back closet. Now it is always ready to be used. The last repurposed space is now home to a refreshment center. Cocktails and coffee are easily stored and served convenient to the kitchen but out of the main cooking area. How do they feel about their new space? It has changed the way they live and use their home. The remodel has created a new environment to live, work and play at home. They could not be happier.

Kitchen/Dining Combo Design Ideas with Multi-Coloured Floor

A dining room can be used for casual dining, integrated into an open plan and connected to the living and kitchen areas; or as a formal space reserved solely for entertaining. While it may not be used frequently, it is a great focal point in the home, and requires little furnishings. Here's what you need to consider before you start planning a new dining room...

How will you use your dining room?

First, consider how frequently you will use the space. If you plan on using your dining room on a daily basis, a casual dining set-up with sturdy, long-lasting furniture is best. As for where you position it – well, any unused space in the home can be converted into a casual dining space, whether it be at the end of a kitchen island, or at the bottom of the stairs. A formal dining room, on the other hand, is more suited to a dedicated space, which is more common in heritage homes where space originally wasn’t at a premium. Perhaps you want your dining room to multi-task and accommodate everyday meals, homework sessions and grown-up dinner parties… If that’s the case, furniture is key. Look for versatile dining tables in either Australian or New Zealand hardwood or weathered timber for a more rustic look. These won’t show up sticky fingerprints as much and can be dressed up for guests.

What size and shape should your dining table be?

Your dining table should be able to seat all family members with some room for additional guests – each person should have at least 60 centimetres of space at the table. The right size, however, also depends on how much room you have. A general rule of thumb is to leave no less than 1 metre from the dining table to the wall or any additional furniture, so people have enough room to comfortably move around the space. Rectangular dining tables are versatile and can work in a variety of settings, while oval dining tables are more traditional and can turn any meal into an occasion. If you have a tight space to work in, a round dining table is best, and also a great option if you want to encourage conversation. A square dining table can be a dramatic addition to a dining room, but only if you have the space. It allows everyone at the table to see each other, but the bigger the table, the harder it will be able to hold a conversation with someone at the other end.

What type of dining chairs should you choose?

Once you’ve decided on a dining table, look for dining chairs that share a common design element. If your dining table legs are curved, for example, try to match them with dining chairs that have a similar curve, either in the legs or back. Next, consider the dimensions of the chair. The height of your dining chairs should allow at least 30 centimetres between the top of the seat and the top of the table. And to keep your tush happy, avoid dining chairs narrower than 45 centimetres.

How can you decorate your dining room?

Dining rooms are relatively minimal spaces, but that makes them a great place to splash a little colour through artwork, especially if yours is a formal dining room. If your dining room is lacking warmth, consider painting the walls a deep shade of red or blue, or go contemporary with black or grey. A cosy rug will make the space feel more intimate, while a sideboard or cabinet of curiosities will further personalise the space. Often overlooked, dining room lighting can also drastically alter the mood of a room, creating drama, spurring romance or encouraging conversation. Opt for soft lighting in the dining area with dimmer switches, and choose oversized pendants in large, open spaces or to make the dining area more of a focal point. Finally, add some table settings, such as a lace tablecloth for a whimsy feel, or a more basic table runner for a chic look.
