It is often assumed that a bold design project is difficult to combine with practicality and a well-structured room. This project by the Belarusian company Nota Bene contradicts that idea at every step. On one hand, the designers took into account the comfort of all family members – parents and three children. On the other, they created a space filled with unusual brightness, expressive styles and confident color solutions. The success of the collaboration between designers and clients was clear from the start: the owners’ rich imagination and taste, shaped by their love of reading and surfing, were paired with professional design skill.
Taken as a whole, the apartment is best described as a spectacular fusion of style and color. Still, the rules of the genre are respected throughout: the details fit together well, and there is a clear rhythm and dynamic energy. Each room has its own idea, creatively processed by both clients and designers. The design may divide opinions, but it cannot be called tedious or superficial. Classic elements are combined with modern finishing materials, while the color-rich interior avoids banality. The atmosphere is bright from the threshold, where classical touches meet juicy color. The living room is just as colorful and divided into two zones: one arranged around the TV for the whole family, and another containing the library and the owner’s desk. Between the cabinets, the exit to the balcony with a winter garden is successfully integrated. The kitchen is perhaps the most modern part of the apartment, apart from the teenager’s room. It has a cheerful mood, while an elegant French-style dining table looks refined against panels of Ceramica Bardelli tiles. This is the area used for communication with adult guests, with a light bar by the window and a refined exotic-wood texture.
