INTERIOR OF THE WEEK: This holiday apartment in Gdańsk combines hotel comfort with an artistic heart [PHOTOS]

Aneta Bieńkowska of Indesign studio is behind the design of this 100-square-meter apartment for a family of four . The owners, both travel enthusiasts, wanted the apartment to resemble a boutique hotel, yet have a soul.

The biggest challenge was redesigning the layout of the rooms – especially the living area and the master bedroom. Glass doors and electric curtains separate the bedroom from the bathroom, while also opening up panoramic views of Gdańsk and creating a space conducive to contemplating the artwork by Nikodem Szpunar, which hangs on the wall behind the veneer bathtub.

Let's also take a look at the bedroom, where the dominant material is beech burl.

- It's a material that's quite difficult to work with, but I really wanted to use it – it reminds me of coral and the texture of driftwood – says the designer.

Kitchen without upper cabinets – functional minimalism

Homely functionality was the leitmotif of the entire design. The kitchen, which impresses with its lightness, has been eschewed of upper cabinets, allowing the space to breathe.

"The tall, lacquered cabinetry conceals the refrigerator, while the island houses the oven. The beige Taj Mahal quartz induction cooktop practically blends in with the countertop. There's also a wine fridge and shelves for beautiful ceramics," adds Bieńkowska.

The living room is like a private cinema and art gallery
The living room, the heart of the apartment, features a projector for film screenings and a built-in bio-fireplace . The walls are decorated with works by Dorota Buczkowska, Weronika Braun, Dorota Pawlikowska, and Monika Janus, creating the atmosphere of a small, private art gallery.

Children's rooms - a challenge full of joy
One of the biggest challenges was arranging the teenagers' rooms. The designer recalls this stage with a smile:
Working with young people is an adventure. It's difficult to extract from them what they truly enjoy, but when you do, you create spaces that fully reflect their personality.
This part of the apartment also features a second bathroom – less elegant, but practical and easy to clean. The windows overlook the Orłowo Cliff – the owner's only wish, and one that couldn't be missed.
The dressing room and laundry room, cleverly hidden in the passageway, have not been forgotten either.

Indesign – interiors with character
Aneta Bieńkowska, founder of the Indesign studio, believes that every interior should be a reflection of its inhabitants. Her designs strike a balance between timelessness and individualism.
Change and diversity drive me. Each project is a new story, a new personality, and new emotions.
The apartment in Gdańsk-Przymorze is one of the designer's latest works – and further proof that design can be beautiful, personal and functional at the same time.
