# Cozy Open-Space Abodes Kabinett is a Parisian Home Located in an Alleyway By Leslie Chen | Published 2013-09-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabinett References: [septembrearchitecture](http://www.septembrearchitecture.com/ongoing/kabinett/) & [septembrearchitecture](http://www.septembrearchitecture.com/about/) Kabinett is a sleek [contemporary home in Paris](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hauvette-madani) that redefines the definition of maximizing space while maintaining a cozy homey feel. Designed by September architecture group, the home was actually once a [manufacturing workshop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apartment-v) and is located in an alleyway; two things I wouldn't expect when looking at the clean sunlit filled space. [Wooden cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabinet) that hold anything from books and magazines to art pieces line the walls in order to open up the living space. The walls of Kabinett are largely all-white except for the kitchen, distinguishing it from the rest of the home. Although the design is very open-space and modern, the cabinets and large amounts of sunlight give the home an extremely inviting feel. The bathrooms also feature a monochromatic design with double sinks. Check out all the images of Kabinett above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Maximizing Space:** Designing homes in unconventional spaces to maximize usable area. - **Cozy Minimalism:** Creating homes that embrace an open-space design while maintaining a warm and inviting ambiance. - **Monochromatic Aesthetics:** Using a single color scheme to create a cohesive and visually appealing design. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** Opportunities for interior designers to create innovative solutions for maximizing space in unconventional locations. - **Architecture:** Architects can explore new design concepts that maintain a cozy feel in open space environments. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Demand for multifunctional furniture that fits seamlessly into minimalist, open-space homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cleverly Designed Micro Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabanon.md) - [Compact Reimagined Paris Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bergre-paris-ix.md) - [Textile-Transformed Parisian Lofts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isabelle-heilmann.md) - [Harmonious Modern Wooden Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mot22.md) - [Smartly Designed Compact Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-apartments2.md) - [Light-Filled Alpine Lofts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omarama-attic.md) - [Eclectic Paris Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-asa.md) - [Nostalgic 70s-Inspired Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-special-studio.md) - [Ergonomic Multi-Use Desk Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabinett-desk.md)
