Interior designer's thoughts

Generous storage was a key consideration in the design. And this three-bedroom apartment smartly uses wall panels as both a visual and functional device.

Behind a calm, minimalist surface, the panels conceal hidden doors to storage units, breaking up long wall planes without disrupting the overall simplicity of the space. Some are finished in warm grey acrylic to add subtle depth, while others are kept in matte tones that blend seamlessly into the surrounding walls.

By aligning door lines with panel grooves and carefully matching finishes, storage disappears into the architecture itself. In the bedroom, the television is integrated into a full-height wardrobe facing the bed, maintaining a clean, uninterrupted composition.
