About Dubai Apartment
Inspired by the vibrant spirit of Dubai, the Mizanna Designs team crafted a captivating apartment that reflects the city’s dynamic essence. Natalia Contova, the lead designer, explains, “I’m inspired by the people I work with, and I aim to create homes that are a true reflection of their owners.”
Accordingly, this apartment’s ambiance is tranquil yet brimming with character. As Natalia notes, “The moment you step in, it definitely makes a statement.” Achieving a minimalist aesthetic without sacrificing intrigue, the design team leveraged decorative finishes, wall panels, textured artwork, and unique accent furniture to create a visually striking yet clutter-free space.
Harmonious Hues and Tactile Textures
Embracing a neutral backdrop, the designers introduced pops of color through carefully curated accent pieces. Acknowledging the existing light gray flooring, they added depth and warmth by incorporating a variety of dark chocolate and espresso wood tones, complemented by black marble, off-white terrazzo, and cream upholstery. To further enhance the design, brown leather was strategically used on large-scale furnishings, lending a sense of dramatic flair.
Terracotta, clay, burnt orange, and coral accents were then layered against the warm light gray and off-white finishes, creating a pleasing contrast. The black elements from the artwork and the striking dark kitchen cabinets amplify the overall aesthetic. Throughout the apartment, the gypsum (a soft, light-colored sedimentary rock) artwork provides an additional textural element on the walls.
Adapting to Existing Conditions
Reflecting on the design process, Natalia Contova shares, “The fit-out works were completed by the main contractor prior to the beginning of my work with my clients. We had to revise and redesign quite a few things in order to make the design project come to life.” This adaptability allowed the team to transform the existing space into a harmonious and visually captivating oasis.
Spanning approximately 145 square meters (1,560 square feet), the Dubai Apartment by Mizanna Designs showcases a masterful blend of minimalism, texture, and color – a true reflection of the city’s vibrant energy and the owners’ distinct sensibilities.
