Who lives inwards your home?
Me (Katerina Dima), my hubby in addition to our truthful cat Milo (who is largely undocumented on my social media because she sleeps in addition to rests inwards the most ridiculous in addition to unflattering positions. If I was running a comedy instagram delineate of piece of employment organization human relationship I shout upwards she would live a amount hit.
Sounds to me similar he could live a #CatsofInstagram star?! The interiors y'all demo inwards your spider web log are merely stunning, exercise y'all move inwards the globe of interior design?
I am a trained architect amongst a masters inwards renovation in addition to restoration, although forthwith I move amount fourth dimension equally a freelance lensman / visual storyteller for brands inwards association amongst my spider web log Only Deco Love and instagram.
Ah, what cracking skills - exercise y'all notice that you're constantly updating your dwelling equally a result?
We are renting but direct keep card blanche on whatever renovations. This was the argue I was allowed to completely alter the await of the sleeping room in addition to skirting boards addition pigment the windows.
I encounter y'all direct keep cracking bones to move with?
If I am non mistaken, the edifice was built roughly 1850. It's a actually funny story, i of the most convenient things is a minor in addition to remarkably beautiful storage room correct yesteryear our stairs (our even is the solely i on the floor), in addition to I thought, I was actually lucky to direct keep it. It turns out that inwards the 19th century these buildings had no lavatory (our flooring was made upwards of many smaller apartments) in addition to the 'storage nether the stairs' was the mutual bathroom. There's no prove forthwith this was a bath but I direct keep the most elegant storage ever - I actually shoot inwards it but it is super cold!
What were y'all looking to attain amongst your sleeping room renovation?
When nosotros moved in, the possessor had painted the entire even white. It is a beautiful former even amongst ceiling rosettes, real high ceilings, large windows in addition to original floors that were painted greyness - in addition to I approximate white made perfect sense equally a neutral palette. However, no thing how I tried to vogue the sleeping room specifically, it ever felt unfinished. Really tall ceilings tin direct keep that effect. I didn't wishing to overwhelm it amongst slice of furniture in addition to decorations inwards monastic tell to impart some life into it, I prefer my living infinite minimal in addition to clean, yet welcoming in addition to warm. The solutions was to create layers amongst pigment in addition to skirting boards.
How did y'all envisage the pigment to cook a departure to the space?
The layers of pigment would render interesting transitions that would fit the former even in addition to define the infinite betwixt the floors in addition to ceiling, but without making it equally good heavy.
How did y'all select the colour?
I knew I needed to offset the grey-blue floors amongst beige, this way the resulting musical note would live warm (blue hues laissez passer cooler results in addition to I'm non a fan of mutual frigidness hues inwards the bedroom). I am a large fan of the Jotun Lady beige palette, particularly the darker colours.
What other renovations did y'all require to deport out to create your vision?
I installed novel skirting boards.
Did y'all direct keep whatever challenges amongst these?
I knew I would direct keep to exercise everything on my ain (with my husbands help), or else it would live equally good expensive, in addition to our budget was inwards fact our biggest challenge. Buying the large pieces for the novel skirting boards/panels I needed was non an option afterward all due to the enormous price, hence instead nosotros opted for DIY. In Oslo nosotros don't direct keep the equipment to create our ain panels (another obstacle), in addition to this is where the sentiment came to me to purchase unproblematic minor in addition to relatively inexpensive skirting boards, in addition to create the panels I wanted yesteryear agency of an illusion. I added the minor boards 30cm inwards a higher identify the previous one, nailed them to the wall in addition to painted the former skirting boards on the flooring the novel board in addition to the wall inwards betwixt the same color . This creates the illusion of a unmarried but quite bigger panel which gives the room an added desired layer land it brings a palatial feel, just the termination I wanted! And honestly y'all tin barely tell fifty-fifty when looking at it upwards in addition to close. We painted five times over in addition to over i time to a greater extent than hence the wall looked just similar the wooden boards, in addition to that was the solely difficulty. We used a saw to cutting the boards inwards the length nosotros needed in addition to a plastic guide that nosotros flora inwards the same hardware store inwards monastic tell to cutting the corners of the boards inwards a 45 even angle.
FYI - y'all tin source unlike size skirting boards on Builders Bay here.
It looks beautiful! So calm! What colours did y'all use?
I painted the skirting boards in addition to the windows the same color (Space 10678 from Jotun Lady inwards Supreme Finish Matt for woods panels) to laissez passer a sense of community, but also because darker windows appeal a lot to me lately. I painted the walls inwards a low-cal beige / greyness color (Sommersne 1928 Jotun lady, super mat). The color is described equally non quite grey, it was just what i was looking for. I debated whether to pigment the whole infinite the same color along amongst windows in addition to skirting boards but decided against it. I wanted to add together layers in addition to innovate interesting transitions. This is also why I didn't pigment the wall all the way upwards to the ceiling, leaving a ribbon on the move yesteryear inwards the previous color that matched the ceiling (white).
I dearest the number of non epitome the walls all the way upwards to the ceiling, tin y'all tell us more?
Because the ceilings are hence high I wanted to create layers hence in that place would live interesting transitions making the room experience warmer. I decided to create a bottom layer amongst the panels/skirting boards, a middle layer amongst the wall painted inwards a unlike colour, in addition to finally an upper layer that stayed the same color equally the ceiling. This way in that place would live a natural transition from the white ceiling to the wall equally in that place is no decorative ribbon, making the pattern experience deliberate rather than incidental.
The whole room took us ii days from commencement to destination afterward nosotros had decided on the programme ( the boards took us most ii hours to cutting in addition to boom to the wall, in addition to then filled whatever holes amongst a special white gum that gives a shine destination ), in addition to this was generally waiting for the pigment to dry. The costs were real minimal, in addition to I experience if nosotros did it, anyone can!
How would y'all depict the concluding look?
The vogue is real minimal in addition to combines early on century amongst contemporary Scandinavian accents. The edifice was built inwards the Neo classic era amongst modernist yet romanticism architectural influences, I wanted to cash inwards one's chips along the experience of it but also direct it into this century. I shout upwards the colours helped me attain that, but also the details I chose to role inwards the cast of fine art in addition to furnishings.
And finally, exercise y'all direct keep whatever tips for anyone looking to exercise the same?
If y'all wishing to lightly renovate a room on a budget, epitome in addition to creating “faux” panels is a cracking way (if it matches your spaces original architecture), in addition to it tin completely transform a room beyond your imagination. Come upwards amongst a programme in addition to create a moodboard to assist y'all out, but I would tell my fundamental learning to live able to conform your programme on the become land trying non to stray equally good far away from it. Also if I learned anything from this is that these things are much easier than they await , y'all volition live surprised yesteryear how much y'all tin attain on your ain in addition to inwards a brusk time! So become for it :)
What a beautiful space. I dearest how the clean, calm await allows the menses features of the edifice to stand upwards out, how most you?
