Wow, look at this place! Möbelkunst is a real vintage heaven! A 1.000m2 of design classics under one roof.

A few days ago needed a chair and some other props for a photo shooting and popped in to Möbelkunst in 10th district, Budapest. If I was a millionaire, I would buy all my furniture here. I just love those vintage and industrial pieces. This is not a cheap place to shop but you can also rent pieces with 20% of the sales price. Of course, renting is not an option if you want to have a piece to yourself.

There are a lot of film studios and international film-making in Budapest. Möbelkunst is one of those places where they can rent authentic vintage pieces.    

Vautsi, katsokaa nyt tätä paikkaa! Möbelkunst on todellakin vintage-taivas! 1.000m2 design-klassikoita saman katon alla.

Jokunen päivä sitten olin etsimässä sopivaa tuolia ja muuta kuvausrekvisiittaa ja piipahdin Möbelkunstissa Budapestin 10. kaupunginosassa. Jos olisin miljonääri, ostaisin kaikki kalusteet täältä. Siis niin ihanaa vintage- ja industriaalikamaa. Ei mikään halpa paikka ostoksille, mutta täältä voi myös vuokrata sisustuskamaa maksamalla 20%:a ostohinnasta.  Vuokraaminen ei tietenkään ole vaihtoehto silloin kun haluaa tuotteen itselleen, mutta rekvisiitan hankinnassa mainio mahdollisuus.

Budapestissa on paljon elokuvastudioita ja täällä myös tehdään paljon kansainvälisiä leffoja. Möbelkunst on yksi niistä paikoista joista studiot käyvät vuokraamassa autenttista rekvisiittaa.

Are you fascinated by vintage and industrial style?

Master Bedroom

After showing the upstairs guestroom options in an earlier post, here comes the master bedroom locateted downstairs. The couple wanted something light, simple, airy and Scandinavian. The walls were painted and one of them was wallpapered by Cole and Son's Woods. Actually only the walls were left during the reno and everything else was demolished and built again with better materials. The house was originally built in the 50's and some adjustements were made in the 80's so the condition wasn't the best possible. A heated floor was installed and all the windows in the entire house was changed.

There's nothing extra in this bedroom. It's kept simple and functional with big wardrobes with sliding doors. The colour scheme is greyish with a hint of deep golden yellow, and of course, lots of white.

ps. this was the starting point:

Here you can see some other parts of the downstairs while it was still in progress, click!

And here are the upstairs guestrooms, click!

ps. always remember the importance of home insuarance! Just found out that Allianz has a great option, check it out here.

Colour Splash

I continue with the same nature colours - leafy green & sunny yellow. Those just feels the right hues for spring!

Play with the patterns, have some fresh-cut flowers, hang a colurful painting on your wall. All these are small things to do, but make a big difference to the atmospere. They make the place super cosy.

You might have noticed that granny squares are my favourites!

ps. the white wall panels are by Halltex.

Back To Grey - Guestroom At Lake Balaton - Part 3

Here's the third version of the guest bedroom upstairs of this Balaton home. So it's back to grey.

 Below you can see the 2 other options, and more of them by clicking here & here.

Which one is your favourite?

Guest Room At Lake Balaton - Part 1

Here's a sneak peek to a project I've been doing at Balatonboglar for some time now. There're 2 guest bedrooms upstairs of this renovated house. The aim is to keep it simple and create a light atmosphere with a Scandinavian twist.

As the other guest bedroom was still totally empty, I decided to create 3 different options for this one and then the owner can choose which one she wants for this bedroom and which one to that other one. Stay tune to see all the options!

If you like to know how it looked before you can quickly check it out here!

White Walls & Other Stories

With white walls you can do anything - it's an endless story full of possibilities, and of course, always beautiful. There're so many different hues of white, and styles how to use it. Here're some examples which I picked up at the Housing Fair 2015 in Vantaa earlier this summer.

PS. of course, there're hints of grayge & black in different tones... 

 Minimalist, chic, rich, urban, country... pick your favourite one!
