The walls throughout the apartment are kept a crisp, bright white, serving as a perfect canvas for the colorful furniture and decor that bring each room to life.

The spacious feeling is further enhanced by a tall String shelving unit, which serves as a bookcase and a display for the family’s art collection.

A short flight of stairs leads from the living room to a hallway, which provides access to the compact yet well-equipped kitchen.

The kitchen may be modest in size, but it doesn’t compromise on functionality and even includes space for a dining table surrounded by cheerful, colorful chairs.

The apartment boasts two bedrooms, each with its own unique charm. The first is a small double room, its walls painted a soothing lavender shade.

A wooden shelf mounted above the bed serves as a nightstand, and the addition of a storage headboard could provide extra space-saving solutions.
