This apartment had great potential<\/strong> to become a stylish space<\/strong>. The Majo Flores Interior Design studio and stylist Sol van Dorssen have given it a radical transformation. Let’s see it! <\/p>\n\n

This 280 m\u00b2 single-floor apartment<\/strong> in a “U” shape had everything to become an authentic showpiece: large spaces and many windows that allowed natural light throughout the day. However, it had become very outdated and a way had to be found to maximize its potential. To this end, the owners turned to the Majo Flores Interior Design Studio<\/strong> team, which took charge of the renovation and, together with El Mueble stylist Sol Van Dorssen<\/strong>, achieved a dream result. Shall we see it? <\/p>\n\n

Before: an empty living room with many possibilities<\/h2>\n\n

The occupants of this residence, a family consisting of a couple and their 8-year-old daughter, wanted to make their home a contemporary, comfortable, welcoming, and bright house.<\/strong> Additionally, they needed a new layout, as the original did not correspond to their needs.<\/p>\n\n

In the case of the living room, the passage doors in a dull brown, as well as the wall color or the dark-toned parquet flooring, only made the space feel smaller. That room could house a large, stylish living-dining area.<\/strong> What did the team in charge of the renovation do?<\/p>\n\n

What a transformation! The team in charge of the renovation installed natural oak wood flooring with wide planks throughout the house, bringing brightness to the room. The light-toned furniture helps create a relaxed and stylish space. The wall color in various tones, whites and neutrals, helps define the areas of the living-dining room while maintaining a sense of continuity between both spaces. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The living room decoration is warm and very welcoming. The light-toned curtain fabrics allow natural light to pass through and contrast perfectly with the rest of the furnishings. The twin black-toned coffee tables give this room a modern and timeless air. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Next to the living room we find this area reserved for the dining room, which looks very distinguished yet with a modern touch. The large oval table takes center stage in this room and has capacity for up to 6 people. The light-toned chairs contrast perfectly with the dark table and give the space an elegant air. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
