Eclecticism in a historic Brussels environment.
We designed the interior of a small apartment in the heart of the historic buildings of Brussels, which harmoniously fits into the context of its surroundings. In our approach, we used eclecticism, a style that, in our opinion, is best suited to such environments. It allows us to create the impression of a continuous life process, avoiding the artificiality that is often inherent in rigid stylistic frameworks.
In the design, we preserved elements characteristic of Brussels architecture, such as high ceilings and authentic window frames, and harmoniously integrated modern solutions, in particular, functional furniture and minimalist lighting. This dialogue between the past and the present creates a unique atmosphere that reflects the dynamics of life in a historic environment. The use of natural wood, marble, textile accents and light metal details adds warmth and depth to the interior. These materials provide a connection with traditional Brussels interiors, while maintaining a modern aesthetic. The compactness of the apartment required rational use of every square meter. We included multifunctional furniture, hidden storage systems and adaptive solutions that allow changing the purpose of the space depending on the needs.
