This 67sqm apartment in Madrid features a cheerful and colorful interior
Discover how this 67sqm apartment in Madrid plays with color in an 18th-century building without ever taking itself too seriously
La Latina is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the Spanish capital. Cobbled streets, ochre-colored facades, tapas bars open until the wee hours. And right in the middle of it all, in a fully renovated building, this 67sqm apartment in Madrid exemplifies a well-established trend in contemporary Spanish design: the fearless contrast between historic architecture and a bold, colorful, unapologetic decor.
It all begins in the living room. On one wall, a vibrant mural has become the centerpiece of this living space. Surrounding it, the furniture is chosen in neutral tones: a simple two-seater sofa, light-colored armchairs, and a discreet Smart TV. This is an increasingly common approach in urban interiors: choosing a single visual focal point and letting everything else complement it. Here, it works perfectly.
The windows are large and let in plenty of light throughout the day. The views look out onto the street. You immediately feel the energy of the neighborhood without being subjected to the noise. Natural light changes everything in this apartment. It highlights not only the space but also the colors of the large-scale wall art. The interior designer in charge of the renovation clearly incorporated it as a key element in its own right.
Its kitchen opens onto the living room in this medium-sized apartment. A bar with three chairs connects it to the reception area. This architectural choice alters the perception of the space. The area feels larger, and movement flows more freely. It’s always a good choice when space is limited, even if some people prefer more enclosed spaces (especially those who love to cook).
The two bedrooms are simple but feature beautiful finishes. Decor is unpretentious, these are places for rest. Comfort is the main focus of these two rooms. They have access to two modern bathrooms, with colors that put you in a good mood first thing in the morning.
What catches the eye in this apartment is above all its contemporary feel, even though it is located in an 18th-century building steeped in history. In this historic neighborhood with its cobblestone streets, color and design are embraced, life is lived in the present, without nostalgia.
