Penthouse apartments in general come with lots of great advantages. For example, they usually occupy an entire level, well actually two, and this gives them more privacy than in the case of a regular apartment. Also, since they are situated on the top floor, they usually also have roof terraces or large balconies and this is a wonderful feature that most people would love to have. This stunning penthouse has all that and more.

Located in Requena, Valencia, Spain, this penthouse apartment has been recently renovated by AreaArquitectura. As you can see, it now has a modern interior design that’s simple yet striking and very stylish. The main color palette is composed of neutral tones and this gives the apartment a distinguished, simple and chic look. There are also colorful accents in every room.

Blue is not just the color of choice for boys’ bedrooms. Cool blues can create a sophisticated and grown up look in many bedrooms, so don’t just use it for the kids. Powder blues, which are probably most associated with their use in young boys’ rooms, look great, if used appropriately, in guest bedrooms. Sky blues are cool choices for ceilings and make a good alternative to the traditional white.

Navies and deeper blues have their place, too. Use the darker end of the blue spectrum more sparingly, for drapes furniture upholstery and accessories, such as light shades. Blues all tend to work well together and you can easily coordinate the use of three differing tones in different elements of the room, from bed linen to carpets. Some say that a blue room can be a bit too dark for a bedroom and create a space that is not calming. But what could feel more restful than an azure sky and a marine blue sea? When you next decorate a grown up bedroom in your home, go blue.
