The development company AFI Europe has prepared two brand new showroom apartments in the rental residence AFIHOME Karlín. In recent years, the location near the Křižíkova metro station has become a popular Prague address, not only as a place to live, but also for leisure. The recently approved project was created through the reconstruction of two original buildings from the beginning of the 20th century, carefully supplemented by a modern new building. It offers a total of 172 apartments in layouts ranging from one to four rooms with kitchenettes. The apartments will be completely furnished in the coming months and ready for moving in next spring. Two newly completed showroom apartments indicate the spirit the interiors from the Czech company HANÁK Nábytek will bring. The smaller of the showroom apartments, one room with a kitchenette and an area of 30 m2, is designed in lighter colours with a predominance of cool tones. The second showroom apartment has two rooms, a kitchenette and an area of 50 m2 with an interior conceived in warmer shades.
“Our experience of renting apartments in the recently completed project in Třebešín shows us that those interested in the apartments clearly prefer the interior already furnished, especially in the layout of smaller apartments. That is why we chose these units for the showroom apartments in Karlín. Their share in the project is high: more than two-thirds of the apartments on offer are one- and two-room apartments,” explained Elena Pisotchi, Sales and Marketing Manager of AFI Europe.
The showroom apartments represent two different standards of fittings attuned to cold or warm tones, which are reflected in all types of the selected surfaces, such as floors, kitchen units, and tiles. The one-room cool variant features a dove grey vinyl floor in combination with light cream furniture. The dominant feature of the living room is the sofa, which will be available in two colours. All the furniture is in a minimalist spirit, so that even smaller interiors are airy. At the same time, the kitchen unit in the fully equipped kitchenette also functions as a dining room table. Plus, it is complemented by bar chairs. Accents of green emphasise the cosiness and earthiness of the entire interior.
The larger two-room showroom apartment is, on the contrary, harmonised in warm tones, which enhance the natural shades of the wooden elements that can be seen, for example, on the floor, in the end and dining room tables or in the lining of the double bed. In addition, the entire space is well-lit thanks to French windows and white built-in furniture. In the bedroom, where the same colour combination was chosen, the double bed with a box spring mattress is the dominant feature, and there is additional storage space and a desk for when working from home. The main storage spaces of the cabinets and shelves are flush with the head of the bed, helping to create a cosy yet practical interior.
"We deliberately stick to neutral colour combinations that are timeless, and everyone can easily adapt them to their own style, for example, with decorations. At the same time, however, we make sure there is ample storage space in the hallway and bedroom, and also pay attention to the practical kitchen with its unit. The living room and kitchen is the place where people spend the most time and where the feeling of home is created, which we wanted to underline with our interior,” concluded Elena Pisotchi.
AFIHOME Karlín is located in an attractive location in the heart of Prague's Karlín district just at the foot of Vítkov Hill. It provides complete civic amenities, excellent accessibility to the centre and plenty of greenery along with a range of leisure activities. The city centre is two stops away from the project by metro or five minutes by car. There will also be shops and services on the ground floor of the residence.
