Sopot, Poland, is a popular destination for seaside holidays, and its apartment buildings attract considerable interest from property buyers. The owners of this inviting flat originally intended it as their own holiday base, but it eventually became a holiday rental with interiors by Indesign. The flat was photographed by Natalia Kaczmarek of Inkadr.
Classical details with a lighter touch
The interior takes a contemporary approach to a classical style that reflects the character of the building. Traditional features meet a gentle minimalism, expressed in the restrained number of furnishings and decorative elements. Navy serves as an alternative to black, combined with cheerful pale blue, versatile white, natural wood and gold details. Unusual pieces of furniture provide further jewel-like accents.
The flat required a thorough renovation, above all a change to its layout. Completely reconfiguring the hall created additional storage in the form of a spacious wardrobe. There was also space for a contemporary alternative to a separate study. The bedroom had to be relocated and now has a restful scheme with practical features such as a pull-out bedside table.
Black and white in the bathroom
The bathroom is the clearest expression of the project’s classical influences, with a predominantly black-and-white palette. Marble patterns on the floor and walls are complemented by gold details, including the radiator, mirror frame and fittings. The wall behind the rainfall shower provides a decorative focal point: the walk-in shower is lined with a contemporary mosaic in the same classical black-and-white combination.
A living area for gathering
The main focus of the flat is its living area, which brings together a practical kitchen, a comfortable dining space and a welcoming seating area. This makes it well suited to social gatherings, shared dinners, board games or simply relaxing with a favourite television series. White and navy are joined here by other colours, including the bottle green that dominates the dining area.
Wallpaper in the seating area complements the unusual glazed entrance to the bedroom. Daylight mingles with contemporary lighting from atmospheric wall lights and pendants. A wall-mounted television unit, a pale rug and round coffee tables lend the room a sense of lightness.
