A Settling Home with a Cheerful Colour Palette

Nestled at the foothills of Mount Butler, this apartment enjoys breathtaking views of the south-facing hill. With a careful spatial arrangement that harnesses the vistas and daylight, vibrant splashes of color are introduced to create a cheerful atmosphere for the young couple and their feline companions.

The apartment's layout is tailored to the inhabitants' lifestyle. By designating the bedroom as the only essential space, the original 2-room flat is transformed into a spacious abode, with the additional room seamlessly merged with the corridor area. This simple change not only ushers in more natural light but also bathes the space in a warm, sunlit glow.

A lively blue wallpaper extends from the foyer area to the dining spaces, punctuated by wooden display shelves. This dynamic design enhances the depth of the living and dining area while introducing a captivating contrast to the prevailing wood tones. The addition of a striking red rocking chair completes the composition.

The dining table is thoughtfully chosen to accommodate the cats, with features like a hammock below, holes for play, and scratching pads on the table legs, creating a delightful space for interaction with the pets.

The workspace and reading area seamlessly flow into the rest of the apartment after the removal of partition walls, fostering direct connections among all residents, including the cats.

In the bedroom, a harmonious and inviting color palette features an olive green wall and cat-friendly pale blue fabric. A touch of vibrant color is introduced through the metal chair legs, while a delicate wooden stork decor element adds warmth and homely charm to the room.
