Strict Monochromatic Homes

The Poznan Apartment by KASIA ORWAT Designates Black and White Space

— April 18, 2014 — Art & Design
KASIA ORWAT has turned this quaint apartment in Poland into a chic, yet quaint dwelling. The space is quite small, but by using a purely monochromatic design aesthetic, everything opens up nicely.

Moreover, KASIA ORWAT designates the black and white areas to serve different functions. The white space is for living, which includes the living room, dining room and bedrooms. Basically where people inhabit the space and interact with one another on a day to day basis. The black areas, however, are designated for storage areas and spots used purely for communication. Other than the monochromatic look, the designer also went with a shiny matte finish on the cupboard doors, giving the perfect finishing touches for the space.

1. Monochromatic Design - Opportunity for businesses to explore the use of monochromatic design in interior spaces, creating a sleek and modern aesthetic.
2. Functional Space Designation - Disruptive innovation opportunity in designing spaces that designate different areas for specific functions, optimizing the use of limited space.
3. Shiny Matte Finish - Potential for businesses to innovate by using shiny matte finishes in interior design, adding a unique touch to spaces.
