The ALBELLI 56 interior is designed as a precisely balanced space with an emphasis on minimalism, clean lines, and earthy materials. A unified visual concept runs through the entire apartment, where every element has its clear place and function. The use of darker tones, black ceilings, and large-format mirrors gives the space depth and character, while technical details and integrated storage solutions support everyday comfort without visual clutter.
VISUALISATION vs. REALISATION – two phases of one interior’s story. Take a look with us at the ALBELLI interior design.

living area
The living area is built on strict minimalism. The space is dominated by a striking modular sofa in a brown tone, complemented by a subtle armchair on legs in a soft beige colour. We kept the space open, free of unnecessary elements. The round coffee table is light and flexible, easy to move around as needed, which supports the room’s adaptability.
The TV wall is designed as a clean horizontal line, a minimalist floating cabinet paired with panelling that combines smooth and ribbed surfaces. The subtle texture adds depth without disrupting the overall composition. A small portable lamp placed on the cabinet is the detail that creates an intimate atmosphere in the evening. The wall behind the sofa stays calm, accented only by a discreet wall-mounted light fixture.
kitchen
The kitchen is designed as a compact, maximally closed unit. The goal was to create a clean visual image without any open elements, while making the most of available storage. A FENIX compact-material worktop in a bold black finish gives the space character and technical precision. This solution made it possible to set the sink below the level of the worktop, creating an exceptionally clean detail with no disruptive edges.
The dining area features a simple veneered wooden table paired with chairs in a bolder colour tone. This creates a natural contrast between the technical kitchen section and the warmer, more communal atmosphere of the dining space.
entrance hall
The entrance hall plays with optics and function. The main feature is a large mirrored surface placed right behind the entrance, which visually multiplies the space and lets light travel deeper into the layout. Besides the aesthetic effect, it also offers a practical outfit check before heading out 🙂
The storage units handle not just coats and shoes, but also the household’s technical needs, such as the vacuum cleaner, ironing board, or cleaning supplies. A console cabinet paired with a freestanding stool on legs creates an airy yet functional entry moment.
bedroom
The bedroom is designed as a compact, built-to-measure furniture unit. The bed, nightstands, and wardrobes are all connected into one harmonious composition. The bed stands on legs, which gives it a sense of lightness and honours the original request for an airy design.
On the opposite side of the room, we created a vanity corner with a storage cabinet and a striking round mirror made to measure. The round element softens the otherwise linear character of the room. The same type of stool used in the entrance hall ties the interior together in a consistent language of details.
bathroom
In the bathroom, we worked with the developer’s standard finish, but subordinated the choice of materials to a stronger overall concept. We chose a bold dark grey tile that creates a dramatic yet elegant atmosphere. A bold move was painting the ceiling in a dark grey to black shade, which visually closes in the space and gives it intensity.
The washing machine and dryer are built into a closed storage cabinet, keeping the space visually clean and fully functional.
guest bathroom
In the standalone WC, we continued with the darker material palette. Dark grey tiling and a dark ceiling create a compact, distinctive space with a clear character. A large mirror running the full depth of the room visually multiplies the space, an effect that’s especially powerful in small rooms.
A technical detail we consider key, the access panel above the wall-hung toilet is hidden behind a furniture-style cover with a small door. We had the extractor unit sprayed in the exact same colour as the ceiling, so it draws as little attention as possible.
REVIEW
At NESTOR studio, they designed our interior and took care of its complete realisation. The whole time, they knew exactly what they were doing and were willing to go the extra mile for us. Great service, which we thank them for and which we recommend. Thanks to NESTOR studio, our family looks forward to coming home every single day.
