Home Interior - Ongoing Personal Design Lab

This interior is an evolving project created as part of a home-styling course, but more importantly, as a space to experiment with design on myself. It became a long-term exploration of atmosphere, materiality, and personal identity - a place where I could test ideas freely and observe how they shape daily life. The design process has unfolded over several months and is still ongoing. I work slowly and intentionally: I introduce one change, live with it, study its behaviour in the space, and then decide whether to keep refining or to let it settle. This iterative rhythm turned my home into a real-time research environment. Several key design moves shaped the project: Introducing bold colour accents through cabinetry and textiles to anchor warmth and character Curating layers of fabric - pillows, throws, rugs - to soften the industrial bones of the apartment Mixing exposed conduits and track lighting with softer, more homely materials to create a balanced visual tension Using plants and small objects to bring life, playfulness, and movement Composing zones and surfaces through visual layering rather than strict planning Upgrading one element at a time, allowing the space to grow naturally rather than through a single makeover Through this process I strengthened several essential skills: working with colour theory, balancing industrial and soft materials, designing a home that expresses personal identity, and understanding how a space transforms when seen as a dynamic, lived-in organism rather than a staged environment. Every part of the project - from lighting installation to woodworking - was executed by me. The result is a functional, warm, bold, playful, and conceptual home that continues to evolve, acting as both a living space and a design laboratory.
