Neutral tones and natural materials combine in this modern single-family home, which was designed for a couple and their two dogs. It is located in Spain and more specifically in Madrid and has a living space of 200 square meters, which has been optimally used to create perfect living comfort. The architects from Ventura Estudio created an open living concept with evenly flowing areas and open spaces, without forgetting the necessary privacy. You can find out how this is guaranteed and what materials were used for the furnishings in our article. Take a look into the rooms of the house and find out what purpose the practical wooden partition was used for.
Wooden partition combined with resistant materials
As already mentioned, the young couple owns two dogs. For this reason, emphasis was placed on materials that can withstand them. Nevertheless, a warm, modern and pleasant ambience has been created through the use of cozy colors and contemporary materials. Concrete, concrete look and wood alternate regularly and make the partly monochrome furnishings varied. This also applies to the colors, where black is the accent and was chosen for different pieces of furniture and walls. Not to be overlooked is the original sliding metal door, which provides access to the guest room with its own terrace and can be locked or left open as desired without being a nuisance.
This creates seamless access to all rooms. Thisopen room designis visually supported by the use of a single floor covering for the entire interior. Additionally, the black metal sliding door in the kitchen isn't the only option for open spaces in this home. There are also several pretty wooden partitions that are simple, but radiate warmth and look modern and stylish thanks to their simple look. There is a wooden partition inside the bedroom in the form of a long folding door, which acts as a blind and separates the sleeping area from the window and at the same time from the hallway. A stationary wall in the same room, in turn, separates the sleeping area from the bathroom. Also worth mentioning is the second metal door in black in the dining area, which leads to the bedroom.
Open living spaces
Otherwise, it can be said that the house was divided in the form of two axes, running horizontally and vertically. Their intersection is in the dining area, which also functions as a work area. In principle, all living spaces can be used for different activities depending on the time of day. When not in use, the guest room serves as a home office. The bed is built directly into the wooden wall paneling and can be folded down if necessary. All other living rooms and areas can be accessed around the intersection of the axes mentioned.
Hidden storage spaces behind wooden wall
The walls are not the only representatives of this material. It can also be found in large quantities in the kitchen. There the panels appear as if they were a wooden partition or wall paneling. In reality these areBuilt-in cupboards for storageof cooking and eating utensils and other utensils. So that all the wood doesn't become too much of a good thing, black elements were integrated. In addition to the kitchen island, these include a niche in the built-in cupboard and the metal door already mentioned.
Neutral and pleasant main colors
Four main colors can be found in the house and decorate the interior in an incredibly harmonious way. This is the warm wood color that is used for various furniture, the wooden partition in the bedroom and for other walls. The second color is gray. An eye-catcher in this color are, among other things, the concrete beams in the living room. The sofa and the floor covering, as well as the curtains in the bedroom and living room, are also gray. White is the third skin color, which gives the interior a bright atmosphere and blends in perfectly with the other two colors. The walls are designed in white, but so are some of the pieces of furniture such as the built-in shelf in the living room or the Eames chairs in the dining area, a cupboard and shelf in the kitchen and various decorative items.
The black color is more of an accent and a great contrast to the other colors and the wall, but at the same time it is used so numerously that it can also be considered the main color. In addition to the already mentioned elements in the kitchen and the metal onesSliding door systemsBlack is also used as the color for the bathroom sinks. There are also many smaller decorative items and elements such as lamps, door frames, side tables, dining tables and chair frames, which give the furnishings a bit of industrial style flair.
