A Blue-Floored Attic Apartment in Monza Packs in Color
Studio Latino redesigned a 750-square-foot attic apartment in Monza, Italy, using a sky-blue resin floor as the starting point. The home pairs that bold floor with red kitchen tiles, a pink bathroom, and playful furnishings. The result is a cheerful interior with deliberately varied colors and accents.
Studio Latino, led by Irene Nocerino and Matteo Lattuada, used a blue resin surface as the organizing element of a 750-square-foot attic home in Monza. It continues through the entry and main living zone, tying rooms together while white, wood, red, and pink elements provide contrast.
The clients are a young couple interested in photography, art, and technology. Their home mixes custom local craft with design classics and playful pieces, including a vintage Cassina LC4 chaise, a Nemo Lampe de Marseille, CC-Tapis rugs, Plia chairs, an OMHU sofa, and Zara Home bedside items.
This color-led renovation may influence how homeowners and renters with compact apartments think about floors as design features rather than neutral backdrops. It could encourage budget-conscious small-space dwellers to use bold color and mismatched accents to express personality. Designers and makers of tiles, resin, rugs, and furniture may see interest in playful, eclectic interiors, while some residents may find such strong palettes less restful or adaptable.
