A 53-square-metre flat in central Łódź offers a calm setting for city life, with interiors by Florkiewicz Studio. The studio’s founder, interior architect Martyna Florkiewicz-Pietrzak, specialises in soothing natural spaces with a timeless elegance. Here, an unusual palette of earth tones and tactile finishes gives the rooms their character. The three-room flat was photographed by Daria Wyroślak of Przestrzenie Fotografia.
Earth colours and textured clay plaster
The flat was conceived as a quiet retreat from the bustle of the city. Its owner commissioned Florkiewicz Studio, which specialises in nature-inspired interiors, to design the centrally located property. The main aim was to combine a timeless base of earth colours with interesting furniture and accessories. Together, these were to create a pleasant place to relax and take a breath after a demanding day at work.
Bolder green and yellow accents accompany classic beige, brown and white. Nature also informed the choice of materials. Wood and Santerra decorative clay plaster define the scheme, with the plaster’s irregular texture giving large expanses of wall interest even where a single finish is used. Linen lampshades, steel details and high-quality fabrics complement the natural aesthetic.
A yellow sofa and a strongly patterned splashback
The owner wanted a cohesive interior, so the designer used the same palette consistently in every room. Carefully chosen details give each area a character related to its use. Dark Prego flooring forms the base of the open-plan kitchen and living room. Pale walls and furniture balance its strong colour, while lightweight curtains add a sense of rhythm to the space.
Two elements stand out in the open living area. A low-legged Befame sofa provides a strong colour accent in the sitting area. Its intense yellow upholstery catches the eye, enlivening and brightening the room. The second focal point is the bold marble pattern of the kitchen splashback. Linen Westwing pendant lights hang over a neatly proportioned island that accompanies the practical kitchen units made by Stolmat Meble.
Sage tiles and an olive wardrobe
Unusual details also appear in the private rooms. Equipe tiles play a leading role in the bathroom, covering both walls and floor. Sage-green brick-shaped tiles sit alongside large-format beige Ceramica Limone tiles. A large rectangular mirror makes the room feel bigger and establishes a geometric composition. Its black frame, echoed in the screen separating the wet area, relates to the pendant light above the basin with its asymmetrically arranged globes.
The bedroom is a quiet, relaxing space decorated with subtle wallpaper combining botanical imagery and a concrete effect. An upholstered bed stands against it, with room beside it for a small desk. A comfortable bouclé armchair takes the place of a conventional desk chair. A generous wardrobe in an unusual olive-green shade completes the room.
