Kitchens, bathrooms - Celeste LACQUER, Sable LAMINATE and Pale LAMINATE

Light, color and fluidity for family life

This project is based on an 86-square-meter home located in Barcelona's Gracia neighborhood. Although it was a recent construction, the owners felt the space didn't meet their real needs or lifestyle. The finishes seemed impersonal, and the layout didn't take full advantage of the surface area's potential. The goal was clear: to transform the apartment into a more functional, warm, and coherent home with its own unique identity.

The renovation focused on reorganizing the living space to improve circulation and create a greater sense of spaciousness. Elements that interrupted visual continuity were removed, and key areas were adjusted to facilitate daily use. These changes provided more natural light and a more fluid connection between the different areas. In the sleeping area, some partition walls were modified to improve the privacy of the bedrooms and make better use of the available space, without altering the original structure.

One of the key elements of the project was the complete renovation of the kitchen. In addition to improving its aesthetics and functionality, it became the new connecting point between the different spaces of the home. A two-level semicircular bar was placed at the center of the design, serving as a work area, a secondary desk, and a space for socializing. This piece introduced a curved geometry that is reflected in various parts of the project, providing visual continuity and a recognizable identity to the whole.

The color scheme combined primary tones—with yellow and blue as the main colors—along with accents of green, orange, and red, always within a carefully designed composition. As for the finishes, Celeste LACQUER and Sable LAMINATE were used in the kitchen, combining freshness and warmth with a durable, easy-to-maintain finish. In the bathrooms, the same Celeste LACQUER was applied alongside Pale LAMINATE, bringing uniformity to the entire space without sacrificing visual lightness.

Every decision was made with the daily lives of those who live there in mind, with practical and well-integrated solutions that make the home function coherently and comfortably. The result is an apartment that reflects the family's real needs, improves their quality of life, and offers them a setting with its own character.
