Today, we will explore a magnificent piece of work done by Studio_P – Luca Porcu Designdesigners in Italy, as they create a brand new apartment from scratch. The current family lived in an old, cramped and worn out space, which was soon becoming dysfunctional and unhygienic for habitation. When the family decided to revamp their abode, they had not imagined the new endless opportunities of intervention that the architects could offer. To their sweetest surprise, Appartamento Privato Rapallo was transformed from a terrible and dangerous state to a terrific and gorgeous one. Some creative structural tweaks, introduction of bright hues, modern designs and contemporary decor accents have taken this once dingy apartment to the heights of fashion.

Before: Work in progress

The image shows the remodelling in progress, and new structures being built with lot of care and precision.  Observe how the bricks are being laid in a curvilinear fashion… a unique structural delight is in store for you!

After: A treat to the eyes

Anyone would instantly fall in love with this bright and fresh living space so uniquely designed by the experts. The unusual curvature of the right side white wall looks splendid, and takes the room to another level. A plush white interior, a cozy seating area and a well-lit ambiance makes it a great place to entertain guests.

Before: A horrifying kitchen

Before the renovation, the kitchen looked gloomy, dull and unhygienic. The pathetic state of cabinets shocked us, and there was clearly an urgent need for a revamp.  The space seemed to lack any coherent design, and the area looked unattractive and undesirable.

After: A white and attractive makeover

This charming and contemporary kitchen is any chef’s dream. A remarkable difference from the old kitchen, this brand new open kitchen offers ample working space and sleek cook top, brilliant lighting and modern appliances. The all white gleaming cabinets match with the décor of the living space and create a balanced look. Hooks line the smart and dark backsplash for organising accessories neatly, while the wall-mounted TV allows you to catch your favourite show while you cook up a hearty meal.

After: Much more than a study room

This is not just a study room. This looks like a fully equipped workstation that could be used by professionals or students alike. The peppy green wall will surely send all the boredom out of the sunny window, while it energises you effortlessly. The white bookshelf lends contrast to the leaf green accent wall and complements the otherwise dominating whiteness of the room. The bold red chair and corner shelves and cabinets make this space bold, beautiful and extremely functional at the same time.

After: Sleep in style

After a long day at work, what one wishes for is a cozy and comfortable bedroom where the heart and mind is at peace. So the designers have decorated this area with simple yet chic features. The off white and neutral tones are soothing, and set the mood for a relaxing atmosphere. The vintage side table, the soft and plush bedding and the sheer drapes accentuate the homely atmosphere here.

An ordinary apartment became extraordinary with the introduction of some unique design features, simple but smart decor, and sudden pops of lively hues. Check out another makeover story for more ideas - An Apartment goes from Messy to Magical.
