Simple Christmas accents, natural materials and soft winter sunlight give this small flat a cosy festive atmosphere. The interiors were designed by Maja Śmichura of Deer Design, combining Danish hygge, the pleasure of being in warm and welcoming surroundings, with a “less is more” approach. Subtle accessories take the place of elaborate decorations and bright festive lights. Photography is by Michał Zagórny of Zagórny Studio.
A compact living space with natural materials
The small living room accommodates several different areas. A practical kitchenette opens onto a dining space, where a carefully laid round table seats four for a festive meal. Simple oak-veneered cupboards complement the resin floor. A circle of timber boards set into the floor echoes the shape of the table.
Rounded forms recur throughout the flat. Above the base units, pale glazed tiles with uneven edges cover the wall in place of conventional upper cabinets. This apparently unfinished quality and the natural materials, including wood, linen table textiles, a jute runner and rattan chair panels, reflect the interior’s “less is more” approach. After Christmas dinner, the seating area provides a place to relax with family and friends. It consists of a comfortable sofa and a small marble table that also offers a surface for festive decorations.
Subtle festive details
The owner prefers understated accents to an elaborate Christmas display. Alongside a small green tree are vases of pine foliage with red holly berries and handwoven ornaments. A snow globe contains a little house surrounded by snow, while an elegant black paper Star of Bethlehem stands on a kitchen shelf. These discreet festive symbols make the flat feel cosy. Winter sunlight fills the rooms, accompanied by the scent of spices from freshly baked gingerbread.
Natural materials and a few carefully chosen details can shape the atmosphere of a small home. Explore more interior photography by Michał Zagórny of ZAGÓRNY studio on his PLNDesign profile and get in touch by email, phone, website or social media, whichever suits you best.
