One of the biggest challenges in interior design is combining a historical building’s character with modern lifestyle requirements. The Mediterranean-style living room shown here perfectly demonstrates how to masterfully achieve this balance.
The most dominant feature of the interior is the striking roof structure, whose original wooden beams lend a warm, friendly atmosphere to the space. The designers wisely chose to keep these visible, as they establish the room’s fundamental character. The warm tone of the beams extends across all wooden surfaces, creating a unified color palette that connects furniture pieces from different periods.
Whispered tales of timeless elegance echo through the dimly lit hall, where shadows dance with flickering candlelight, and every corner holds a secret waiting to be unveiled…

This Mediterranean-style living room is a perfect example of how tradition and modernity can come together. The exposed roof structure evokes the character of an old house, while the modern panoramic windows are contemporary. The interior creates a sense of time flow: as the generations have changed, modern furniture has been introduced into the space, while old furnishings have been retained in the background.
The clean lines and bright colours of the Scandinavian minimalist sofa are contemporary, while the metal leg coffee table gives a mid-century modernist feel. A postmodern neo-eclectic rug provides an exciting contrast to the traditional setting. Although the herringbone-patterned, glossy parquet flooring is a departure from the Mediterranean style, it brings a freshness to the space and takes into account that the upstairs level would make cold tiling less practical.

Upon entering this living room, we’re immediately captivated by the space’s unique atmosphere. The room simultaneously radiates tranquility and dynamism, as if we’ve stumbled upon a modern urban oasis where technology and design exist in perfect symbiosis.
The central element of the living room is the TV wall, featuring panels that evoke the raw concrete surfaces characteristic of brutalist architecture. This surface not only provides a backdrop for the large screen but also gives character to the space. The regularly spaced dots on the panels imitate formwork impressions, reinforcing the brutalist effect.
The art of modern interior design is often in the details, and this stunning interior is a perfect example of how different styles can be harmoniously blended into a coherent and attractive living space.

One of the most exciting trends in modern interior design is the harmonious blending of different styles to create a unique, personalised space. This interior is a perfect example of how minimalist basics can be spiced up with transitional elements and bold colour accents, creating a space that is at once chic, modern and cosy.
This interior perfectly transports us back to the 1960s and ’70s, mixing a hippy-bohemian feel with the beat-bohemian era. The retro posters of musicians and singers that adorn the wall instantly evoke the iconic figures of the era, giving the space a strong beat-bohemian feel. However, the darker colours that would be a defining element of the beat-bohemian trend are absent. Instead, a rich, colourful textile world dominates the scene, which leans more towards hippy-bohemian and folk-bohemian styles.

In this interior, we see an eclectic bohemian world that evokes the free-spirited bohemian lifestyle of the 20th century, while incorporating the more moderate and orderly elements of the 21st century. At first glance, the effect of worn walls and carpets dominates, bringing back a distinctly worn yet cosy and comforting atmosphere of the old days. This ‘shabbiness’ does not suggest neglect, but rather a home lived in over time, full of history and traces of individual journeys through life.
