This apartment was bought by a young international couple living in Brussels as their first home. It had been rented for several years and had not been "loved" by its previous tenants: everything was plain, gray, and rather dull. Knowing that it would serve its new owners for only a few years, the renovation was done on a budget.

The designer chose simple supplies and added a few touches to give it a brand new twist. The designer's idea was to make it look young and fresh without investing a fortune. ''The kitchen was connected to the living room by removing a partition wall and creating a much more fluid space. The bathroom was redesigned to create an extra laundry room. In the bedroom and in the entrance the use of wallpaper added a creative touch.
