From an interior decorating point of view, they decided to mix two very trendy styles at the moment: Scandinavian design and industrial decoration. That’s why the red brick wall cladding was naturally chosen as one of the accents of the interior space. The presence of the wall is even more noticeable thanks to the black furniture that contrasts with the color of the bricks.

In an identical way, the bathroom, accessible by glass doors, is entirely painted white which is the typical color for the Scandinavian design. Black touches complete this space and reinforce its definitely Scandinavian appearance. At the same time, most of the accessories in this piece are made of metal – a material that is very much used in industrial decoration.
