Located in an elegant residential complex overlooking the Insugherata Nature Reserve, along Via Cassia in Rome, this 220 sqm apartment has been renovated with the aim of creating a bright, sophisticated and welcoming space. The interiors are dominated by shades of white, enriched with black accents that add depth and character to the rooms.
Decorative elements, such as plaster mouldings, create delicate wall panelling that enhances the elegance of the surfaces, while natural oak herringbone parquet flooring runs throughout the apartment, lending warmth and continuity to the spaces. The heart of the home is the living area, where the spacious living room revolves around a bioethanol fireplace, framed by an antique French marble surround.
The main wall has been transformed into a bespoke bookcase, which harmoniously complements the central sofa and the dining area beyond, maintaining an understated style with carefully considered details. The kitchen, fitted with cabinetry on both sides, features a large black island set against a backdrop of decorative black-and-white terrazzo tiles, creating a distinctive yet functional focal point. Designed to combine aesthetics and practicality, this space lies at the heart of everyday life.
Painted in a deep English green, the study creates an intimate and inspiring atmosphere, ideal for concentration and remote working. This colour choice reflects the personalities of the owners: a young couple consisting of a software engineer, who frequently works from home, and a fashion professional, both with a refined aesthetic sensibility.
The master bedroom combines elegance and comfort through the contrast between black-and-white wallpaper and the black-painted lower wall panelling, which frames the headboard and lends balance to the overall design.
Every room has been designed to suit the couple’s needs, embracing a minimalist aesthetic that highlights the quality of the materials and the attention to detail. Natural light, enhanced by the light-coloured walls and contrasting black accents, takes centre stage, transforming the apartment into a sophisticated retreat immersed in greenery.
