This project involved combining two adjoining rooms, previously dark and impractical, to create a spacious, bright, and harmonious suite.
The Initial State: A Dark and Cluttered Space
The space originally consisted of:
- A first room with a small skylight, providing minimal natural light.
- A second dark bedroom, featuring a wooden mezzanine with a steep and unsafe ladder-style staircase.
- Dark brown wood paneling and a sloped ceiling, further closing in the space.
- A small window, limiting natural brightness.
The Transformation: A Luminous and Airy Suite
To reorganize and modernize the space, we implemented the following changes:
✔ Merged the two rooms to create a more open and fluid volume.
✔ Designed a custom-made staircase and metal railing, adding lightness and safety while enhancing the aesthetic.
✔ Preserved and highlighted the original beams, painting them white along with the wood paneling, to brighten the space and create a sense of openness.
✔ Created a true master suite:
- A new en-suite bathroom in the lower bedroom.
- A restructured mezzanine, now offering two sleeping spaces, a built-in bookshelf, and a cozy nook for children.
✔ Harmonized the color palette with soft and neutral tones, accented by dusty pink accessories to add warmth.
✔ Introduced contemporary metallic elements: - A black metal railing, bringing a light yet structured aesthetic.
- A glass and metal shower partition, adding a modern and elegant touch.
The Result: An Airy, Functional, and Elegant Suite
This transformation has turned the space into a bright, fluid, and optimized living area, blending classic charm with modern elegance. The master suite, with its thoughtfully designed mezzanine, now offers a warm and practical space, perfectly suited to the family’s needs.
