House of Dreams

I made sure that the conversion of this old house was fully in line with the changing needs of modern living, while also keeping the budget in check. Living and playing areas, as well as the kitchen and dining room, were moved from upstairs to the ground floor, where the garage and study had once been. Here, the enormous doors open directly onto the garden, sunny and decorated with paper lanterns, where the red polka dots table can accomodate even the largest crowd of guests. This setup ensures undisturbed privacy for the two floors upstairs: not only does everyone have their own room - the older kids have the entire second floor to themselves! Finally, the basement and sauna were turned into a creative workshop.

As almost always, it was my beloved pillow collections that served as the starting point in designing the styles and colour schemes of individual rooms. Walls were decorated with stencils. The kitchen-dining-living room combo is an impressive space dressed in red, white and blue. The zigzag pattern, the traditional Hungarian tulip motifs, the restored old red couch, the antique Singer sewing machine, the funky lights, the subway tiles in the kitchen, and the snazzy curtains – they all come together in serene balance.
