Who said living in the desert can’t be stylish? Discover how to blend the charm of ancient Egypt with the modern charm of the Mediterranean in this inspiring apartment design. Mai Aliwa designed this rustic retreat that combines natural textures and earthy colors in an incredibly exciting way!
The living room in this apartment feels like a warm embrace. A soothing beige color palette dominates the space. A low sofa provides comfortable seating without taking up too much vertical space. Rattan rugs adorn rustic coffee tables. These tables perfectly connect the space to the outdoors. The exposed wood beams on the ceiling add a perfectly industrial touch, while the black door frame adds contrast.
The entertainment complex has a rustic, ornate look. Even without any color, it makes a stunning focal point. In another corner, a wall is covered with a bookcase. This bookcase features a bamboo back and wooden drawers, providing style and function.
The various views of the kitchen show how versatile design can be even with a minimalist interior. Textures take center stage, with the island playing a major role. Keep it rough and textured for a totally rustic vibe. Alternatively, keep it classy and add texture in the middle to create an inviting look while still looking stylish. This, paired with wooden bar stools. Adding a wooden dining table next to the island takes the design game to a whole new level. And don’t forget that the rattan front cabinet adds even more natural texture.
The bedrooms in this apartment blend perfectly with the Mediterranean country style. The base is fitted with a bamboo panel behind the bed; this can also serve as a headboard, so the bed can be kept simple. Whether the mattress is placed on an exposed wood base or on a textured headboard, the atmosphere perfectly captures the mood.
Finally, the bathrooms continue the simple yet rustic feel. The vanity is made of exposed wood with interestingly shaped panels mounted on the wall. The bathtub is organically designed and blends in with the rest of the color palette, creating a relaxing atmosphere for bathing. A washbasin, an irregularly shaped mirror, and plants connect the space to the outside. Black hardware serves as a finishing touch, adding luxury.
