Midweek Projects: My Bedroom, My Style Part 2

Greetings!

Last Midweek Projects we have seen our latest bedroom project in one perspective. This time, we are sharing with you the area behind the bed.

Right behind the bed is the dresser for doing make up (for the lady, of course) and some additional storage to keep little things in stainless drawers. We designed the mirror behind the peacock painting to give a little quirky feelings yet make the space more functional. And we combined the white color with industrial style desk. It's not that wide enough desk, but it's enough to get some free space while the lady do her thing.

The area behind the bed is basically a walk in closet area. We don't put any divider between the bed and the walk in closet unless a curtain in both side, right and left to make the area get more privacy. This is the unique thing of our design.

Since the room is not spacious enough to build a big walk in closet, the area is still divided into two area for the man and the lady. The difference is, the lady has an area to hang long dresses she has, while the man has enough drawers to keep his things and also shared with the lady (since men are simpler that the ladies).

Between the lady and man area, there's a door that connects to the bathroom. And each area has its own personal full body size mirror and a colorful chair. And also each side has a big window to enjoy the outdoor area too.

That's all for today. We'll see you all again soon!

Midweek Projects: My Bedroom, My Style

Greetings!

Well, sometimes the style of your bedroom at least tells a story about your personality. Either you are feminist, romantic, or quirky like the bedroom owner who request us to design a bedroom in a little bit out of the usual layout of a bedroom.

The owner wants an open walk in closet, have a big mirror, and separated side for her and him. So we made this special design based on the owner's personality.

It's a little bit quirky but still well-organized bedroom. Dominantly in white with a little touch of charcoal, turquoise, and yellow for the color accent. Since it's too much boring to play in one tone color, we decided to add more colorful from the outfits the owners' have and the painting as the main view of this room.

We put the bed as the center of the room and as a divider between sleeping area and the outfit  storage area. To add a little privacy, they can turn down the curtain to make the process of changing clothes more comfortable. Each side has a full body mirror.

Not only stopped here, we also add the touch of the blue and white in Moroccan style tiles as the border of the bed area. The color also match the main colors in this room. And we also made the bed board from concrete as the unity with the flooring material.

That's all for today. We'll see you all again soon with what's behind the bed exactly!

Midweek Projects: Cozy Living Room

Greetings!

Inspired by the fireplace, since here in Indonesia we don't need fireplace to get away from cold winter, we've decided to make something different of someone's living room today.

Sometimes you need a refreshment into your living area. It's OK sometimes to look different from the others because different is pretty too.

Fireplace has been in our thought to be designed since a long time ago. But we have no chance to use the idea up until now.

We've designed a fireplace / book shelf in living room. In an informal ambient, we tried to pull the coziness inside and a perfect place to do homework, gathering as a family, and even working at home.

With no sofa, we replaced it with short wooden chair and two pouffe. The pouffe here can be used as coffee table too, and also as foot rest while reading favorite books from the collections.

That's all for today. We'll see you all again soon!

Midweek Projects: New York Style Bedroom

Greetings!

We are enjoying designing a bedroom in New York style. The room is so spacious but we create more space and minimize the furniture so the room still looks spacious enough. The unique thing about this design is a big window that shows the outside view of the house. So we can play with it like a giant live painting.

We put a bench between the mattress and the window, so the owner can work or read a book, or just enjoying the view. This bench also works as a headboard for the mattress. For the side tables, we add book shelves to keep some beautiful books. 

For the floor we choose grey tile as dominant flooring here, and we also put some Moroccan tiles to decorate the area surround the mattress. It makes the room not too plain and give a vocal point to the bed area.

And we are not forgetting to put greenery to make the room feel fresher.

That's all from us today. We'll see you all again soon!

Weekend Projects: New York Style Two Bedrooms Apartment

Greetings!
House of Smichi is back this weekend to share with you our latest project. So, let's start with our latest apartment project.

This weekend we have a two bedrooms apartment project in Jakarta, Indonesia. A little information about the owner, she loves books and most important of all, she loves New York. Been living few years in New York when she was younger. So, she wants to bring back the memories she know about the wonderful city.

Well, she has a very wonderful layout for an apartment. Though the apartment is not too big for living, but the layout is very interesting with some cozy spots to enjoy the view of Jakarta city whenever she come home from work at night.

We've designed the living area first to be shared this weekend with you.
The living area is not too wide, but it has a longer area with a big window at the end of the area.

In this living area, she has a tall storage shelf to put nice books and any other office supplies. We designed the lower storage with mirrors so the place can look bigger than it should be. This is one of the trick for a small spaces: more mirrors!

And for the cozy window spot, we designed an area to enjoy the view while working, reading a book, or even just sit and relax. Since the owner loves greenery so much, we put some plants in pots to decorate the area. And one of the trademark of House of Smichi is we always put dramatic lighting in every potential spots. And she loves it!

And put the comfy sofa in front of the TV. It has no armrest at the right end, so she can sit while facing her list of books at the shelf. And this can give more rooms to open the lower storage at the shelf.

New York style is basically combinations of Industrial concept with chic style with a lot of decorations of art, like paintings, photography, and even sculpture. You can also put modern touch of furniture too, not always industrial.

Well, we think that's enough for Weekend Projects this time. We'll see you soon with our latest projects originally design and build by House of Smichi!
