From the Designer: “This long-extended condominium in an outdated setting up inside the metropolis center was uninteresting and even ugly to us. At first, it appeared unimaginable to make hallway, and often, the condominium was some type of trailer. The sooner homeowners made some errors whereas remodeling: the sewerage inside the bathroom was carried out incorrectly, which led to an unpleasant scent inside the condominium, and we wanted to redo the whole thing.
“We didn’t similar to the massive load-bearing transoms coming down from the ceiling within the lounge and the mattress room (they occurred to be within the midst of the rooms). We didn’t understand what to do with them or learn to play with them so they could combine correctly into the within. One different headache was an especially prolonged doorway. Finally, in its place of making an attempt to cowl these growth parts, we embellished them! Now, the transoms entice your consideration with plaster corbels and the prolonged seismic corridor looks like a nicely-framed passageway.
“It started with the wallpaper by ZAK+FOX . I wanted to utilize this express wallpaper with monkeys as they remind us of our shopper, Raushan, an brisk youthful girl with curly pink hair.
