An apartment in Warsaw's prestigious Złota 44 building required a furnishing scheme that combined old and new, elegance and comfort, and minimalism with a personal character. BBHome used carefully selected furniture, accessories and decorative objects to soften its stark, contemporary interior. The renovation of the previously owned property was photographed by Michał Zagórny of Zagórny Studio.
An interior overlooking central Warsaw
BBHome developed the project for clients with particularly high expectations. The apartment's location in Złota 44 was itself a distinguishing feature, alongside its expansive views of central Warsaw. Large areas of glazing make the skyline part of the interior, while changing daylight brings out the qualities of different areas. All these factors had to be considered in the design.
The studio's principal task was to integrate new bespoke furniture into the existing space and add carefully selected accessories so that the result felt coherent and harmonious. The owners had clearly defined requirements. They wanted a home that combined comfort and elegance, making its practical use and appearance equally important.
Tactile surfaces and personal details
Purchased from previous owners, the apartment needed to be adapted to its new residents. The existing interior had a stark, minimalist finish that they wanted to retain while softening its cool atmosphere with updated furniture and accessories. Personal touches made the rooms feel warmer and more welcoming. A painting by Agnieszka Pudlik, made specifically for the interior, hangs in the living room.
Texture played a particularly important role in softening the space. Raw wall and ceiling finishes contrast with sheer curtains, varied upholstery and high-gloss kitchen cabinets. In the sleeping area, thick carpet and subtly patterned wallpaper provide tactile interest. Steel elements and touches of gold complete the material palette, while contemporary lights give each area a sharper edge.
Living spaces and three quiet bedrooms
The detailed composition brings the aesthetic and practical requirements together. For the residents' comfort, the apartment is divided into two zones: a living area with a spacious lounge, dining space, breakfast corner and kitchen, and a separate sleeping area. Three quiet bedrooms were designed to support rest and relaxation within an intimate setting. Each has blackout curtains that help the occupants shut out the city and sleep comfortably.
Working with these demanding clients led BBHome to develop a coherent interior that is not easily assigned to a single style. Respecting the building's stark character while introducing highly personal elements gave the apartment an identity that reflects its owners. Michał Zagórny's photographs capture the finely worked details of the home at Złota 44.
