Balkan breeze Charming Belgrade apartment ** šarmantan beogradski stan

***(the post is too long for english and serbian version, so please use google translator to fully enjoy the interview and home tour) ***

Dosta je prošlo od poslednje Balkan breeze reportaže, ali je vrijedilo čekati. Ovaj put predstavljam stan inspirisan Amsterdamom i skandinavskim stilom koji je i na našim prostorima jednako popularan, upravo zbog života u malim stanovima.
Dragana, vlasnica stana, je od onih osoba s kojima bih odmah sutra voljela piti kafu i razglabati o mnogočemu. Iako smo se čule samo preko mejlova, djeluje mi tako srdačno i prijatno. A njen lični blog inspiracije treba obavezno "prelistati". Evo šta je ona rekla o svom šarmantnom stanu:

Ime:   Dragana Lazović
lokacija i veličina stana:   Beograd, Voždovac, 51 m2

koji je tvoj stil i čime si se vodila pri uređenju i organizovanju ovog stana: Ja već imam dosta iskustva u uređenju prostora, iako mi to nije profesija. Moja porodična kuća je mnogo prostranija, opremljena nameštajem od drveta u prirodnoj boji. Sad sam se suočila sa daleko manjim prostorom, a imala sam želju i da probam nešto sasvim drugačije. Inače volim nameštaj ravnih, čistih linija. Pošto sam nekako u to vreme posetila Amsterdam, tamo sam videla te bele cigle, i uopšte skandinavski stil koji mi je delovao prikladan za mali stan. Posto je to stan za dva momka, moje sinove, malo sam se uplašila da ne bude preženstven, pa sam njihovu sobu uradila nesto drugačije. Žute i plave boje.




 omiljeni dio: 
Sve mi je omiljeno na svoj način. Volim hodnik sa belim ciglama i belim podom, i crno belim tapetama. Manja sobica, koju moj muž i ja koristimo kad odemo u Beograd, posebno mi je draga zbog tih ogledala koja sam napravila od goblena kupovanih preko aukcijskog sajta i farbala u belo. Dnevnu sobu obožavam. U prostor od 18,5m2 smestila sam trpezarijski deo, malu kuhinju i dnevni deo sa TV-om i policama. I ni najmanje ne deluje natrpano. Dok sedite okrenuti ka televizoru, oči se odmaraju na zidu sa tirkiznim tapetama.

najveći izazov s kojim si se susrela:
Ceo stan je bio izazov. Bio je potpuno ruiniran. Po strukturi dvosoban, a ja sam htela dve odvojene spavaće sobe, pa sam kuhinju prebacila u dnevni boravak. Sarađivala sam sa dobrim majstorima, znala sam šta hoću, a imala sam i izvesno iskustvo. Sve je bilo izvodljivo.







šta kažu ukućani i prijatelji:
Svima se dopalo, naravno. Ko god je ušao bio je iznenadjen prostorom. Odaje utisak da je dosta veći. Zbog toga što je svetao, i što je hodnik neuobičajeno širok. I zbog  kombincije belih zidova sa ciglama i tapetama. Nameštaj je lagan, od bele iverice u visokom sjaju, sto za ručavanje je staklen i ne opterecuje prostor a i stolice su lagane. Kuhinja je rađena po meri od belog medijapana. Kupatilo deluje dosta luksuzno, iako nije mnogo koštalo. Takav efekat je postignut mozaik pločicama.

savjet za mali prostor ili za proces uređenja:  
Bitno je da znate sta želite, da sve nacrtate u pravilnim razmerama, da posle ne bi bilo iznenađenja, da ne bude pretrpano. Ja sam nameštaj sama crtala, a jedna radionica mi je sve pravila. Nameštaj po meri je možda najpametniji za male prostore. Meni je olakšavajuća okolnost bila i to što u stanu postoji ostava, koja je iskorišćena kao garderober, tako da je ostatak stana oslobođen ormana.
Lepo je ako ste vešti sa šivenjem, jer sam ja sama šila jastučiće i zavese. Internet je pun ideja, ima gomila sajtova na kojima možete naći nešto što vama odgovara.





šta bi uradila drugačije:
hmmmm, mislim da ne bih nista, hahahahaahaa. Već godinu smo u tom stanu i svaki put kad uđem u njega osetim zadovoljstvo. Fali mi aspirator u kuhinji, tu sam omanula. Ali i to može lako da se doda i reši. U sledećem stanu bih možda umesto zidnih pločica u stanu stavila stakla u boji, mada su ove moje prelepe. Ne znam, imam jos hiljadu ideja. Ali nemam više stanova :D






Eto, nadam se da ste uživali u intervjuu i fotografijama za koje je zaslužan Duško Damjanović. Ako imate dodatnih pitanja, slobodno pitajte u komentarima

vibrant contemporary penthouse ** živopisan savremen stan

What a beautiful, happy, vibrant home. I can't decide on what I like more: jungle on the wall,  interesting chairs or colour palette.
Maurizio Goviannoni is the creator of this amazing 65sqm penthouse. He describes his work as a blend of cultures, with a bit of play and irony, creating a joyful and relaxing atmosphere.

most amazing small apartment ** najzanimljiviji mali stan

Can't describe how I am thrilled to find photos of this AMAZING and SO coool apartment! There are great design ideas for small spaces, especially if you're a renter. The owner is tv show producer and a blogger Janet Lee. This lady has style and experience in small space living without sacrificing stuff and colour. Although I love purified apartments, decorated minimally...this one screams my name. This style is much more me, and my aim is to create something similar at my home. Janet published a book Living in a nutshell several months ago, have to buy it as soon as possible. She's ultimately inspiring to me.

design board ** dizajn predlog

The designboard I made here is for my younger sister. She has a room in our family house. The room is already furnished, but not functional as it should be. There are two sofa beds, big armoire and one pretty big rectangular coffee table. Boring + it's taking too much of valuable floor space. She wants something more functional, according to her living style...place for relaxing, enjoying some quiet time, reading books, for yoga practising. She's inspired by Asian culture, especially Japanese, but also loves romantic French and Scandinavian functionality. I tried to combine the three, so my inspiration is this chevron pattern in black, taupe and blue palette, with lots of white, natural elements and contrasting rectangular and oval shapes. here's the design board:

modern family apartment in Warsaw ** moderan porodični stan u Varšavi

Great ideas, overall functionality, well used space, kid-friendly environment, positive vibrations with loads of vibrant colours...that's what I see in this Poland apartment. Measures approx 65sqm but it seems like a hundred. I bet my kids would be enormously happy in this place. And nothing would make me happy more :)

{small space} Belgrade studio ** {mali stan} Garsonjera u Beogradu

Studio apartment in center of Belgrade measures 28sqm and it's for rent. The space is very well used, and the colour palette is just enough dinamic as it should be. Looks smart and comfortable. My favourite features are the kitchen/dining island and the olive tree in the corner.

black on white ** crno na bijelo

Combination of these two "non-colours" is timeless, always trendy, versatile, adjustable, beautiful and stylish. Some inspiration the way I like this "palette"

home full of energy and colour ** dom pun boja i energije

This almost 70m2 odd shaped apartment was so neglected, that owners had to demolish everything, and start with a clean slate.
As it can be seen on the plan functionality was more important than tradition. They gained space with a gallery above the bathrooms, extra light and sights with the inner windows. All white makes the apartment look brighter and bigger, as well as shiny surfaces do. The coloured mood lighting makes the focal point and it was based on their own design, using glass of various colours and LEDs. 
 Stan u Budimpešti, veličine skoro 70 kvadratnih metara, bio je u veoma lošem stanju kada su ga sadašnji vlasnici ugledali. Ipak, uspjeli su da uoče potencijal. Vrlo neobičan oblik stana je bio izazov za organizovanje, ali je i nagovještavao zanimljiv rezultat. S obzirom da je originalno stan bio prilično mračan, vlasnici su odlučili ispuniti ga bjelinom i reflektujućim, sjajnim površinama, što je doprinijelo sada prozračnoj, svijetloj i prijatnoj atmosferi. Da bi izbjegli sterilnost, prostor su akcentovali jarkim bojama, pa sve odiše razigranošću i pozitivnom energijom.

{DIY idea} sandwich station ** {uradi sam} ćoše za pravljenje užine


 Ako svakodnevno pravite sendviče ili sličnu užinu, posebno djeci za školu, evo zanimljivog riješenja za sve alate pri ruci. Potrebna vam je samo jedna ladica koju ćete ofarbati po želji, ugraditi dva do tri štapa - za ubruse, foliju za umotavanje i eventualno peki papir. Pri dnu ladice, pričvrstite ploču od iverice na kojoj ste napravili tri otvora za salvete, kesice za užinu i kuhinjske gumice. Sa strane po želji možete postaviti plutanu tablu za dnevni ili sedmični meni, kao i kukicu za makaze i krpu. Kompletno uputstvo za rad i materijal na sajtu Curbly

{DIY idea} houndstooth wall stencil ** {uradi sam} pepito dezen na zidu

The elegance and versatility of houndstooth pattern amazes me. I've wrote about more colourful version of houndstooth stenciled wall before, and this one is equaly great. The owner of this lovely working corner, Aimee, is right when saying it changed the space from bore...to adore. It looks completed, sophisticated and - most important - it sends creative vibe. This stencil is even easy to make at home, so why don't give it a try?
via it's overflowing
Prilagodljivost pepito šare kao i njena svevremenska elegancija me oduševljavaju. Koliko znam, nisam vidjela do sada primjenu na zidu, iako se vratila na velika vrata u sve aspekte dizajna. Veoma mi se dopada kako izgleda u radnom kutku, vizuelno ga odvajajući od ostatka prostorije, i čineći ga kompletnim, bez potrebe za dodatnim uređivanjem slikama i sl. Dezen je toliko jednostavan da se šablon može napraviti i kod kuće. Vrijedi probati, zar ne?

{DIY idea} Lovely paper wall art ** {uradi sam} zidni ukras od papira


mustard yellow ** senf žuta

Did you know that yellow is at the bottom on the list of peoples' favourite colour? Don't understand why. For me, it's a happy, cheery colour, full of positive energy.
It symbolizes the light and divine glory, as well as jealousy, envy and hate. How contradictious, right? It used to be symbol of quarantine through history.
I don't love all yellow shades though...I prefer warm yellows, especially mustard yellow. Looks great on clothes, and I love to see it in interiors - both in small or big doses.

{love this space} orange and aqua ** narandžasto i plavo

photo via bhg
Love this space! feels so good with just right amount of cold and warm hues for comfy room to spend autumn rainy days in. Be careful when choosing flooring, patterned samples can be tricky. Here, it looks warm and interesting, creating a statement. Everything else except the wallpapers is in solid colour.
For creating this look combine rich wood finish with dark grey furniture. Paint the walls in aqua tone to bring the light in. Choose all textiles in bold colour like orange or terracotta, perfect for this time of year. Don't be afraid to bring some accents in deep green, for example in glass (like the stone lamp)

Ovdje je sasvim prava razmjera hladnih i toplih tonova za kreiranje udobnog kutka za odmor u jesenjim kišnim danima. Predlažem da budete pažljivi pri izboru ovakvog tipa podne obloge, jer može djelovati ili fantastično ili potpuno suprotno. Ovdje plijeni pažnju, jer jedino pod i tapeta imaju šaru, dok je sve ostalo jednobojno.
Želite li stvoriti ovakav ambijent kombinujte tamnu, toplu boju drveta uz sivi namještaj. Da rasteretite prostor od teških elemenata, zidove obojite u nježnu nijansu plavozelene, a sve akcentujte kroz tekstile u jarkoj boji. Za jesen i nadolazeću zimu topla narandžasta je odličan izbor. Nemojte oklijevati da unesete i koji dodatni akcent u recimo tamno zelenoj boji, ali samo u laganim materijalima, kao što je recimo staklo.

{home tour} nature indoors ** {stan} priroda u kući


This lovely home, full of personality, belongs to the couple of artists, Kimi Weart and Paul Galloway. Photographed by Trevor Tondro.  What I love about this home is it feels so connected to the nature with loads of wooden furniture, branches, antlers and calming colour palette.
Favourite parts are bunch of lightbulbs over the desk, open shelving throughout the house, "credenza" out of kitchen kabinets and rug in the living room.

fall/winter style: exposed brick ** jesen/zima inspiracija: zid od cigle

Well . hello . peeps!
God, how I missed this blog...and writing...inspirational photos...and all of your blogs I love to read
Finally, I have a new computer since yesterday, is there anybody who can imagine my happiness...after using the huge one for nine and half years?!
I was quite busy for these two months (well, who wasn't?) and I won't bother you about that. Let's get right to my inspiration these days. Exposed brick :)

Totally fall/winter style. Painted or natural, it is unbelievable gorgeous! gereat focal point, makes a dramatic statement, adds a sense of warmth and texture to a space, and I love how the light can cast a range of shadows that make the most of the texture and colors in the brick.
