House Tour: A Vibrant Milanese Apartment

Step inside this gorgeous apartment in Milan, dramatically transformed by the team from chromastudio. At just 90-square-metres, each inch is beautifully renovated and we can’t get enough of the rich tones throughout this home.

More space was allocated to make a larger living area, bathroom, and storage space that better aligned with today’s ways of living. The public areas, with the living room, dining space, and kitchen, allot for almost half of the overall floor plan as it’s the heart of the home. Setting the tone for the apartment’s aesthetic right off the bat is the vibrant kitchen with a royal blue island made by Cesar Cucine and supplied by Mo1950.

A second bank of cabinets rests against the wall with multiple rows of three-dimensional tile and a simple yellow shelf for additional storage. The same striking blue is carried through the rounded entryway, forming a royal blue tunnel. Iroko wood floors were removed and a similar shade of blue cement material was laid by Innovative Surface to delineate the kitchen’s footprint.

Up close, the Mutina Rombini Triangle tiles in a rusty orange pop against the rich blue of the cabinets and next to the light blue Smeg fridge.

Paired with the bright colours and the natural wood floors are black accents displayed throughout the space helping to ground it.

In the primary bedroom light walls are interrupted by the headboard wall painted in a cornflower blue, which is completed with two niches to hold bedside necessities. On the opposite wall, there’s a bank of storage cabinets in matching cornflower blue.

The end result is a beautifully vibrant apartment with a soulful feel. We love everything about it and we’re inspired by the use of colour that brings energy into every room.
