How to design small apartment , Manchester -Polish style!

Currently I am designing an apartment for a Polish couple in Manchester. They lovely and its so great to be designing for a such a creative and open minded people! I have been enjoying this so much! The design is ongoing and I will only show you the mood boards and some products I have created for them. I wish I could show you a little sneak peak but I woul like to to wait until it’s all done. The apartments really reflects my style as I like to combine natural, smooth colours with something that shouts! Also I have created these, based on client inspirational images and they really open to new ideas also they have great personal taste to!Working with the couple closely, we created quirky little space for them! We changed some products from these moodboards along with the design but its not far off! Below each moodboard, I have added the products that we ordered. It is still quite a lot to go but I am only showing few. They currently under refurbishment, room by room. Bathroom is nearly finished and they jumped onto the bedroom now. Kitchen will be done done middle January etc. Once the apartment is finished I will put images up along with all details where to buy all things. Also the apartment was design in a small budget as well, so totally affordable!

Bathroom has hexagon floor, an inspirational mosaic quote on wall and circle mirrors with leather belt. It was quite a risk to combine square mosaics with a 2 x types of hexagons but my motto is if you don’t risk you will never achieve anything! It really paid off as the result is fantastic!

Kitchen!

Kitcen will be grey with black concrete like worktop, black glass splashbacks and chalk wall(writable). It will also have island with 2 pendants hung asymmetrically. I don’t have picture of the fronts of kitchen unit so I added the inspirational which is the closest colour of the grey units!

Since we work with an open kitchen plan the brick wall is a part of living room as well therefore I am adding this composition in between Living room and kitchen!

Living Room!

Living Room accessories includes cord soft sofa, tripod floor lamp and coffee table is in 3 parts. There is an wooden floor (not installed yet)- but I actually I have found amazingly priced £15m3 engineering wood floor! In fantastic colour!Walls will be covered with white brick wall panels and the quirky neon light! (look at kitchen boards)

Corridor!

Corridor originally had an idea to continue with the brick wall but with a wallpaper to save the cost. I am normally not a fan of brick effect wallpapers but this corridor is quite dark and needed a brightening up and since the natural light doesn’t touch it I felt this could work!(Brick effect wallpaper in natural light look tacky and cheap for me)-Only real or brick panels!:)

We also went for an open Ikea wardrobe and cute bunch of pendants!

Bedroom!

This effect just blown me away! Went client send me the end effect picture I was really wowed! Effect much better than the image below! It really add a little mystery to the bedroom!

Below the open wardobe Inspiration. Please ignore the Pastel colours. We decided to go for recycled wood and create really cool effect. Inspirational image won’t reflect so I won’t add it. With regards to client dressing table, I wanted to look quite mature and sophisticated that will suit the space but won’t create teenage dream effect.
