This studio flat is only 18 sqm, but there are a few good ideas here to keep in mind. First of all, white paint is and will always be the best base for making a space look bigger and brighter. Secondly, this studio proves that investing in a few carefully chosen details will make the whole difference: leather handles on the kitchen cabinets, copper taps in the kitchen and the bathroom, a pretty bedspread, comfortable leather stools, glass tableware in timeless design etc. Keeping colours to a minimum by adding touches from the same palette (like the hues of orange-yellow here) will add energy to the decor without being visually overwhelming. And last of all, wooden floorboards are your best ally when it comes to warming up a room.

Ce studio ne fait que 18 m2, mais on y trouve quelques bonnes idées à retenir. D'abord, la peinture blanche est et sera toujours la meilleure base pour donner une impression de clarté et de volume. Deuxièmement, ce studio prouve qu'investir dans quelques détails soigneusement choisis fera toute la différence: des poignées en cuir sur les elements de cuisine, des robinets en cuivre dans la cuisine et la salle de bains, un joli dessus-de-lit, des tabourets de bar comfortables en cuir, de la vaisselle en verre au design intemporel etc. Réduire les couleurs au minmum en rajoutant des touches de la même palette (comme les nuances d'orange-jaune ici) va dynamiser la déco sans la surcharger visuellement. Et pour finir, un parquet en bois est votre meilleur allié pour réchauffer une pièce.

With the same approach, we had a discussion together around Super Normal objects, ie objects possessing intuitive design qualities, objects that have become somewhat invisible but have unconsciously evolved to be at the centre of our daily lives.

On our recent bloggers tour to London, we visited Buster+Punch's cool showroom and got an exclusive look at the brand new LED Buster bulbs before they were officially launched last week. This is a unique product that combines an ambient light and a focused spotlight in the same bulb. The bulb comes in gold, smoked or crystal glass and it looks fantastic, especially together with the new Heavy Metal pendants.
