"Your normal day is always black and white

When you make love, always black and white
When you drink something, always black and white
Your colors are always black and white..."

This is a fragment of the song "black and white" by Kombi, which fully reflects the character of the owner and her private space. Full of contrasts, determined and uncertain, sensitive and not giving up. Exactly how we feel black and white. White is the color of freshness, innocence and purity, and in such an environment we relax faster and more effectively. However, black has significantly changed its symbolism and has become the color of elegance, luxury and sophistication. Black is the color of individuals who are characterized by courage, self-confidence and strength.

In fact, the cooperation started with the bathroom on the first floor. The owner had already selected tiles with a marble motif in hickey and white. My task was to integrate them into the room in an interesting way. I didn't want to just arrange tiles on the wall but look for an unusual solution. That's why the idea of ​​dividing the room into white and black parts was born. The layout is very simple. The left side from the entrance to the bathroom is black - black tiles, dark ceramics, black construction above the toilet bowl and bidet, black ceiling, black lighting fixtures. The right side is white - white bathtub, white tiles, white furniture with a washing machine, white cabinet under the washbasin.

Thus, with this idea of ​​combining black and white, we moved on to the rest of the house.

From the moment we enter the house, we have a small preview of what the interiors of the entire house will look like. To start with, we have glass doors with delicate black frames against white walls. Just behind them, in the narrow corridor, there are white Orac Decor panels on the wall and a mirror optically widening the narrow passage. At this point you can already see black steps and stair risers, a staircase with a vivid black and white photo wallpaper, which is also on the long wall in the living room. The entire ground floor has tiles from Tubądzin. From the entrance to the living room to the entrance to the kitchen, there is furniture, which is partially hanging. This gives lightness to the structure itself, but does not completely close the space between the living room and the kitchen. A comfortable light beige sofa encourages you to relax. Light beige also appears on chair upholstery and curtains. The black round table is extendable to a length of 2 meters and was ordered from the Kler salon.

Returning to the entrance to the house, we will enter the toilet, which, as you might guess, is also black and white. Opposite the entrance, the toilet frame is enclosed behind black tiles, and the entire wall is composed of furniture with spacious cabinets. On the left, the wall is filled with a photo wallpaper with a similar motif as in the staircase and in the living room. On the right, however, we have decorative Royal Place tiles from Tubądzin arranged unevenly. With such a number of cabinets, a cabinet under the washbasin was unnecessary, so an Oval washbasin console was used. Above the washbasin there is a mirror from Giera Design with an irregular, organic shape.
