Barbara Aurell has managed to realize the dream of the owner of this apartment in Barcelona. The integral reform, designed by her studio, Blank Space<\/a>, has turned what used to be a dark apartment divided into small rooms into an open and bright space, ideal for modern living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The priority was to make the most of the natural light that enters through the balcony and redistribute it to the darker corners of the apartment. The solution was to open up the space by creating a large day area that unites the living room, dining room and kitchen in a continuous environment. The kitchen, made of beech wood, brings warmth and neutrality, while the open bookcase in black serves as a divider and gives functionality to both the living room and the kitchen. This centerpiece also includes a breakfast bar, a practical touch designed to make the most of every corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-purpose studio and guest bathroom with character<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most outstanding features of the renovation is the multipurpose studio. This space can function both as a work area and as a guest bedroom, thanks to a minimalist style bed and a large sliding glass door that visually connects with the day area. When more privacy is required, a decorative curtain can isolate the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guest bathroom also deserves a special mention. With a monochromatic design, it stands out for its details in tile tones, which are reflected in the hydraulic pavement and the washbasin furniture.

A perfect balance between color and neutrality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final touch of this reform is given by the careful selection of colors. While the main palette is kept in neutral tones, such as the beige of the beech wood and the black of the bookcase, decorative elements in tile tones such as the dining room table and lamp, or the details of the guest bathroom, add personality without saturating the space. This fusion of warmth and modernity defines the spirit of the renovation and shows the interior designer's ability to balance functionality and style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
