When you decide to start a renovation focused mainly on the interior design, different doubts usually arise regarding the process, but, above all, regarding the final result. The before and after images of this intervention in Baeza Street in Madrid show the great possibilities that this house had and the satisfaction of having achieved the objectives set.
From the moment we were proposed to carry out this project, we were clear about the main mission: to rearrange the little space available to make the most of it with an efficient distribution. As in all our projects, we started from a fundamental premise: to create a functional, comfortable and aesthetic space for the well-being of people.
The bulk of the interior design reform focuses on the total use of the usable area of the loft. loftlooking for maximum comfort when living the space. With the elimination of partitions and the division of the rooms by means of glass separating panels, or even with the furniture itself, we manage to create a fluid space that provides a feeling of spaciousness, and where there is no lack of light anywhere.
The second of our objectives was the search for comfort; to ensure that the spaces, in addition to fulfilling their basic functions, would become a welcoming alternative despite their limited dimensions. And for this, issues such as the size and placement of furniture, storage spaces or the distribution of the interior, among others, were focused on that purpose.
But, in addition, this interior design reform in Madrid was a real aesthetic challenge. We were looking for a current concept and, at the same time, an image that would make it unique.
In short, a reform project in which we have combined different variables. On the one hand, the enhancement of a reduced but fully exploited space; the practicality of the spaces, making the most of the storage space; a modern design that fits the personality of the clients and above all and mainly, the search for the feeling of comfort and well-being of those who will live there.
What should you take into account when making a house renovation?
When you decide to undertake an integral reform in your home, it is crucial to be clear about the specific needs of the project from the beginning.

Depending on the magnitude of the renovation and the requirements of the municipality, a specific type of license will be required. It is advisable to have the help of a professional to apply for and manage this permit correctly.
Initial move:

Efficient planning and organization are key to a successful move.
