Completed in 2015, this house renovation, its finishes, its selected furniture and general styling tries to stick to the logic of rental, appealing to a young but general taste, while showing that it is possible to decorate with caution, to invest wisely, to bet without losing and to get “wet” without drowning. Decorative eclecticism is key here, incorporating varied textures and patterns, giving hints of textile color that find all the necessary buffer in the more neutral wood, stone or the trendiest wicker splashing the surroundings. Designed by Egue y Seta, the resulting project attempts to reconcile eyes with pockets, proposing spaces of a decidedly young, urban and flexible appeal, which, money wise has proved tremendously feasible for the owners.

A solid wood table, which is both kitchen isle and dining area, integrates a vitro-ceramic hob and seats around itself four diners: this dining room is proposed as a boundary or interface between the two areas (kitchen and living room), facing a blackboard paint coated wall that becomes the informal agenda and graphical guest´s book of a very expressive home. Under the extraction hood, which is also a decorative pendant lamp, you can taste dishes cooked a few centimetres away, while going to the fridge for a beer is a matter of stretching out an arm. It wouldn´t be wrong to say this kitchen, the place where all pleasant meetings and conversations end or begin, has been entirely designed to accommodate routine and pleasure at convenience, from the more practical and less ceremonial point of view.

On the opposite side of the dining room we find a living lounge arranged over an aged oak effect vinyl floor that dialogues in perfect harmony with the original stone wall on its right and a greyish blue gradient wall on the left that brings on the other hand, modernity and stylistic vanguard to the whole. Over such flooring a Persian-style area rug attempts to delineate an area of comfort where arm chairs, sofas, tables and audio-visual console are arranged so to allow entertainment for two, solitary reading, or meeting with friends and music on the background.

Immediately adjacent to the bathroom we´ll the master bedroom, whose dimensions allow for the placement of a double bed under a colourful headboard wall with a gradient going from a dim orange (Pantone 2015 Earth Gold) to a bluish grey that connect the floor with ceilings. Facing the bed a great matt white laminate wardrobe camouflages itself with the surrounding walls with, while hiding inside the much bolder, colourful and trendier clothes that these young tenants surely have. Flanking one side of the bed, additional open storage space for the exhibition of decorative objects that provide warmth and individual personality to the space, along with a generous window with reclaimed wood joinery painted in white differentiates itself from those made of aluminium that have become the standard while letting in an enormous deal of the vital and always welcomed natural light.
