Unusual colours, patterned wallpapers and varied finishes fill this 70-square-metre flat in Warsaw’s Port Praski, designed by Huragan Studio. Together they offer a less predictable take on contemporary design, with an elegant, cosy and calming feel. The flat was photographed by Paweł Biedrzycki of Kąty Proste.
Green walls and patterned tiles
Each room combines carefully chosen, unconventional colours and patterns. These unexpected combinations begin at the entrance, where floor tiles form a geometric floral pattern alongside deep green walls and wooden built-in units. Concealed doors keep the composition balanced.
Strong green tones return in the open-plan living area. A green wall behind the large corner sofa distinguishes the sitting area from the dining space, furnished with a light wooden table and a set of unusual chairs. A well-lit white kitchen with a practical island completes the living area. The minimalist forms of its ample storage and small, glossy tiles give it a contemporary character, while oak cupboard fronts add domestic warmth.
Tropical patterns and a burgundy bathroom
The corridor leading to the private rooms includes practical details such as doors flush with the wall, generous wardrobes and a bookcase with reeded-glass fronts. Dark green continues into the bedroom, where it covers one wall. Tropical wallpaper and cane webbing give the room the atmosphere of a holiday that never ends. Off-white finishes on the wardrobe and dressing table balance the strong colour and pattern, while delicate mouldings add understated elegance.
Burgundy takes the place of the green used throughout much of the flat in the bathroom. The unexpected shade gives the room a little edge. To keep it from feeling overpowering, the designers combined it with a soft, sand-coloured floor and subtle glazed wall tiles. Peach-coloured hardware and a matching radiator, alongside brushed-gold taps, complete the warm palette. These carefully chosen details make the bathroom a cohesive space designed for relaxation.
A home office and carefully chosen details
The private part of the flat also accommodates a practical home office. Alongside a comfortable desk are built-in units with delicate woven panels and a sofa in the green used elsewhere, which is the family pet’s favourite spot. The care taken to coordinate the different elements keeps the flat cohesive. Bold colours and patterns give it a recognisable character without overwhelming the rooms.
Finishing details and decorative pieces play an important role throughout. Contemporary lights and wall lamps with rounded, irregular forms complement the rich, unexpected mix of elements. Stone accessories by YOX emphasise the elegance of the scheme.
