Home Staging is all about showcasing the strength of the house by editing items that would draw attention away from these fixed assets. The hardwoods, view, and moldings take center stage in this photo. The homeowner's timeless plate collection and "shot of happy" turquoise bowl of apples add just enough color to add a homey touch. Who wouldn't want to have breakfast in this lovely setting? Photo by Charles Dickens Photography

First own apartment In this interior design project, we focused on a 2-bedroom apartment. It was the client's first own apartment as she recently moved to Vienna. She desired a feminine and minimalist interior design that was far from boring. Since it was a rental apartment, certain elements were predetermined, and we aimed to create a design that could easily be taken along in case of a move. For example, we incorporated natural white acoustic panels as accents behind the sofa and TV, providing texture without introducing color into the space. We drew inspiration from the Pantone Color of the Year 2023, "Viva Magenta," for the accent color. Thus, we chose dining chairs and a pouf in shades from this color palette. The kitchenette remained unchanged, but we added a beautiful floral wallpaper as an accent to the backsplash. However, the highlight of the design is undoubtedly the living plant wall. It creates a green focal point in the middle of the room. We decided against adding more plants since our client is often away for days, and regular care couldn't be guaranteed. The living wall requires less maintenance and is more manageable in this regard. ---- Erste eigene Wohnung in Wien In diesem Einrichtungsprojekte ging es um eine 2-Zimmer-Wohnung. Es ist die erste eigene Wohnung der Kundin, die eben nach Wien gezogen ist. Sie wünschte sich ein feminines, schlichtes, jedoch nicht langweiliges Interiordesign. Da es sich um eine Mietwohnung handelt, waren einige Dinge gegeben und wir haben uns bemüht, alles so zu gestalten, dass es bei einem Umzug leicht mitgenommen werden kann. Wie z.B. die naturweißen Akustikpaneele, die als Akzent hinter dem Sofa sowie hinter dem TV angebracht wurden. Diese bieten Struktur, ohne Farbe in den Raum zu bringen. Bei der Akzentfarbe wollten wir uns nämlich von der Pantone-Farbe 2023 “Viva Magenta” inspirieren lassen und haben somit die Esszimmer-Stühle sowie den Pouf farblich aus dieser Palette gewählt. Die Küchenzeile blieb unverändert, jedoch haben wir der Rückwand mit einer hübschen Blüten-Tapete einen Akzent verliehen. Wahrscheinlich aber DAS Highlight ist die lebende Pflanzenwand. Diese bietet einen grünen Blickpunkt mitten im Raum. Auf weitere Pflanzen wurde verzichtet, da unsere Kunden oft tagelang nicht zuhause ist und die Pflege daher nicht garantiert wäre. Diese “Living wall” ist da weniger anspruchsvoll.
