The Mickiewicza estate in Warsaw’s Żoliborz district is surrounded by restaurants, small shops and greenery. Here, interior architect Ewa Dziurska of Decoroom has designed a 70-square-metre apartment that combines vintage, art deco and industrial influences. Photography is by Marta Behling of Pion Poziom.
Three styles in one apartment
Dziurska set out to accommodate three contrasting aesthetics within the same interior. Vintage influences, art deco details and industrial elements are balanced across the apartment, with close attention to the smaller finishes.
A kitchen in shades of blue
The small kitchen opens onto the living room and was designed by Katarzyna Domańska, an interior architect at Decoroom. Shades of blue run through the scheme, with full-height cabinetry on the right and a worktop with wall cabinets on the left. Decorative art deco lights, gold-coloured handles and a matching tap provide the accents.
Living space with room for music
Quiet, pale colours define the living room, where a vivid blue sofa is the only strong colour accent. A made-to-order shelving unit stands alongside a dining table and chairs with Viennese canework.
The apartment also contains a study with the owner’s piano, a bookcase and a comfortable burgundy armchair. Special acoustic insulation allows her to play without disturbing the neighbours.
A bedroom in muted colours
A bed with an upholstered headboard stands in the centre of the bedroom, facing a gold-framed mirror that makes the room feel larger. The wardrobe was made to measure. Pale, muted tones dominate, with dark-red and dusty-pink accents.
A bathroom with retro details
Bottle-green tiles are combined with terrazzo-patterned slabs on the bathroom walls and floor. Made-to-order elements are a hallmark of the studio’s work, and the shower enclosure was produced for this project with gold-coloured fittings.
A tiled recess holds glass shelves for toiletries, making use of the available space. Above the toilet is a generous cupboard with a decorative handle. Gold-coloured details also appear on the mirror frame, rain shower and basin tap, continuing the palette used elsewhere in the apartment.
