Zen flair exudes this impressive apartment, located in Taipei, Taiwan. It belongs to a couple with two children who were looking for a larger apartment because the old one didn't have enough space for guests. The Ganna Design team helped the family with the furnishings. It is characterized by its simplicity, which at the same time exudes Asian style. The apartment is bright thanks to the large windows. In order to save space despite the larger living space, wooden sliding doors were used, which also give the rooms style and elegance.
sliding doorsHolzfor the kitchen cabinets
The sliding doors for the kitchen cupboard are not common. They beautifully close cabinets that extend from floor to ceiling. The wooden sliding doors have a dark gray color that leans towards black, which allows the kitchen island in mint green to be perfectly expressed. The kitchen issimple and modern design, but also exudes a certain rustic atmosphere.
In the open living room
The living room has an attractive wall unit that is partly open and partly closed. Sliding wooden doors were not used for the wall unit, but it has a modern design that also exudes Japanese Zen flair. There is no television. Instead, the living room should be used for reading and listening to music.
AttractiveWall unit
A bay window offers enough space for large windows, which means that a lot of daylight can penetrate into the living rooms. The seating area is furnished with a white sofa and a comfortable wicker chair, ensuring relaxing evenings. The chest of drawers in the bay window with a Japanese design is also striking. The wall unit houses the owners' CD collection.

The open living space should also provide space for working. The large shelf on the wall, which is located right next to another sliding door, serves as storage space for many books. The large dining table is used multifunctionally. People don't just eat here with family and friends. Work, homework and family evenings are also spent here.

The frame that is mounted on the ceiling is also very practical. On the one hand, the lamps are attached here and on the other hand, it is used to hang plants. This allows the ceiling to be very lushly planted, which makes the room more comfortable. The dining table is surrounded by patchwork chairs, which adapt wonderfully to the rest of the furnishing style.
More rusticDining table
Mainly natural materials were used for the furnishings. On the one hand, it consists of antique furniture that the owners had collected over the course of the year. These were combined with new furniture that exudes Zen. In addition to wood, including the wooden sliding doors, the apartment is decorated with fine marble.

Metal is another material that can be found in abundance in the home. Not only the kitchen island, but also the large bookshelf consists of a metal frame that is complemented by wooden panels. In this way, the front appears rather irregular, which is what gives the piece of furniture its charm. In contrast to this are the wooden sliding doors, which are hidden behind the shelf and lead to the bedroom.
Old and newcombine
Here you can see the ceiling design above the dining area from below again. Lamps in the form of lanterns with shiny surfaces serve as lighting. They really come into their own amidst the green plants. In the apartment with wooden sliding doors, the lanterns create a romantic and pleasant light in the evening.
Sliding doorsas a room divider
The already mentioned wooden sliding doors in the bedroom done as a room divider. Such doors can be used to wonderfully divide large rooms into different areas without requiring major construction work. The sliding door serves as a color accent, which can also be found in the kitchen island. A space-saving solution with sliding doors was also chosen for the wardrobe.
Openbathroom
The aforementioned marble can be found in the washing area, which can also be used by guests. It adorns the wall in the washing area and is complemented by wooden furniture in gray color. Zen flair and modern design also go hand in hand when it comes to bathroom furniture. The result is a simple, yet extremely elegant and stylish interior.
Whitebathroom
The small bathroom impresses with different elements. On the one hand, there are the tiles, which were chosen in black and white. There is also an attractive, square bathtub and a washbasin, which is again made of metal and this time combined with a marble top. The apartment with sliding wooden doors certainly looks very inviting.
