Even the chandeliers and lighting in general fit the color tones of the furnishings, and high ceilings of the rooms help to keep the atmosphere of the whole.

The apartment is a little bigger than a studio apartment (36 sqm), is composed of a kitchen, a living room that also serves as a bedroom due to the convertibility of the sofa, and a bathroom conveniently separated from the entrance.

The objects used to decorate the apartment are characterized by a romantic flavor shabby chic.
