It’s a historic building so the designer had to keep that in mind when remodeling the apartment. It’s why every little detail had to be carefully chosen. The final result had to be a harmonious blend between the original features with their classical flair and the modern additions. Even though the apartment is small, it doesn’t look tiny from the inside. In fact, it’s spacious and airy and this is also due to the décor.

The interior designer managed to incorporate lots of storage space that is carefully hidden out of sight. It’s a detail that allows the rooms to remain airy and clutter-free, thus appearing to be more spacious. In the living room, for example, the furniture is a mix of classical and gothic elements. The chandelier is a beautiful focal point while the wooden flooring adds texture and warmth to the décor.
