Apartment Showcasing a Highly Creative Layout in Arad, Romania

Interior designer Cristina Bordoiu sent us images of her new apartment in Arad, Romania, which she envisioned and developed around a central biking&nature theme. The chromatic choice were thus strictly connected to experiencing nature: beige, brown, green, suggesting the feel of sand, soil and vegetation, together with more vibrant accents found in the decorating units. Designing this small apartment so that it would suit the needs of a young couple was a big challenge for Cristina, one that she achieved brilliantly. All furniture was entirely custom made.
