NEVER TOO SMALL Vibrant Small Athens Apartment 50sqm/538sqf

Located in the famous and lively neighbourhood of Plaka in Athens, the aptly named Pretty in Pink was inspired by it’s vibrant owner and her love of all colour and texture. Originally a one bedroom apartment in a fairly dilapidated state, the space was transformed by Moy Studio into a bright, functional two bedroom. By adding a new entrance, kitchen, dining area, bathroom and additional small bedroom, as well as additional storage hidden in the renovated kitchen and bathroom. Using a cleverly selected palette of pink including white flecked Ritsona marble, divides areas within the home and accentuates the personality of it’s owner.

I like the fact that they restored some of the house features rather than replacing it. 👏🏽

That second bedroom would be an excellent work area with the balcony. The colour usage in the space was a 10! Just enough to be unique

All of the aesthetic choices working around the existing apartment were so elegant. I was so impressed with the graphic color elements and how elevated the space felt, true creatives synthesizing here.

As an introvert, I think I like the second bedroom better, tucked away from the main areas. It's a nice cosy corner, with enough natural light.

This is a very calming space, I could see myself in this one without feeling too cramped, very well done!

Can't help thinking that an alternative layout would have been to put a bathroom where the new kitchen is, creating also a small entrance space with storage. One of the three remaining areas would then be kitchen / living (probably the present living room) and you are left with two full sized rooms. Nice remake though.

As a greek, I find this particular mosaic floor really hard to style and yet it exists in many greek homes. You did a great job making it look fantastic and modern!

The bright yellow door frames are genius! Works so well with the pink too! 😍

[ozyvntq]

as an athenian, what i dont like about old athenian apartments is how separate they tried to make each room. so the kitchen and living will be separate, for example, even if that means the space feels more cramped or darker. I like the aesthetic choices of the designers here, but i think that if they united maybe the kitchen and the living, this place would feel a LOT larger than it did in the video. 50 sq.m. arent that few, besides.

This is too cute, love the colour palet. I also like restoring elements that are still decent enough. Way more ecologically friendly than installing new things. Great house!

“We do not need a lot of space to live well” So very true! They proved it in this appartement. Great design.

I loved to see the restored parquet and marble! Not having to spend so much to purchase the large space itself allows some ppl to invest that money on quality materials

[maritsaappollis]

Very clever to have fit a second bedroom in, which could probably also be changed to office space or even a nursery if needed. My favourite space is the living room - so bright!

My favorite redo!!! I watch regularly and this is the best thus far!!! Would love to live there 😍. Job well done ladies

[Gazmeizster_Wongatron]

Wow... Lots of character in this lovely apartment. I love that they weren't afraid to use a lot of vibrant colours - makes the spaces feel so much more homely than some of the other more minimalist apartments shown on this channel.

Owner only makes coffee in the kitchen. Lol

[sashahera]

Beautiful interaction of the pink with the marble. I could move in straight away 🌈🕊🧚🏼🙏🏼☀️🤩🥰

[ashwtz]

Yes to giving old buildings a second life 😍 not too sure of the colour choices but love the overall space usage and restoration of existing features

[klgherkin]

I LOVE the use of colour in this apartment! I smiled when they revealed the pink interior of the cupboard. I also love the yellow frames and the burgundy grout.
