Mimicked doors and off white tones characterize the décor of a 1,120 sq ft apartment.
Current trends in interior architecture, the use of camouflaged doors to separate projects stands out in this renovation project signed by architect Daniela Funari – part of the CASACOR São Paulo lineup – in this apartment of 104 m² located in Vila Romana (SP).

"In the social area, we combined living room, dining area, gourmet area, and kitchen, delivering a very pleasant and comfy connection," highlights the professional who, to reinforce the coziness aspect, especially for hosting friends or enjoying time with family, defined the combination of light wood tones and off-white.

In the socializing sector, the camouflaged panels already demonstrate their importance within the apartment, as they create a presence to promote integration between the living room and the balcony. "Our idea was to enlarge and, at the same time, deliver a very relaxing living space," details the architect.

Being a social area designed to receive friends and family, the professional also included a home bar properly optimized with a display case and covered with cumaru MDF.

"For the residents of this apartment, integrating the social projects was a priority," she says. By adopting the same large-sized porcelain tile (120 x 120 cm) for the floor, she also counted on abundant natural lighting, thanks to the external glazing. "By the way, the balcony embraced two areas: the gourmet side and the coffee corner," she details.

For the installation of the camouflaged barbecue panel, the tracks were fixed only at the top to avoid interruptions on the floor of the project, which is integrated. In the project, the resource was a stylized way to conceal the barbecue, which was also incorporated into the social projects. "The idea was for residents to choose whether to have it visible or not," analyzes the professional.

Connected to the slatted wood panel and well illuminated, the peninsula of the kitchen transformed into a multifunctional counter, providing an additional area for food preparation, as well as being perfect for daily meals. The continuity of wood tones in the slats and cabinets was maintained, while the off-white of the backsplash and countertop adds a sophisticated lightness to the project.

In the master suite, the TV panel promoted a subtle division between the bedroom and the closet, delivering a smooth and elegant transition between the areas. "For the cabinets, we aligned the cabinetry facing the entrance door and enhanced it with bronze reflect glass closures," says Daniela.
