The main bedroom is the old kitchen and service bedroom of the house. Bearing in mind that the house is from 1922, the normal thing at that time was to place the kitchen at the back, quite the opposite of what is done today, which is given great importance and becomes an essential part of the house. .
By knocking down the wall that divided these two rooms, the original construction beam of the building appeared. This building, called "Las Casas de Félix Sáenz" and whose history we have told you about in a previous post, was one of the first buildings that were built in Malaga without load-bearing walls.
Therefore, the old kitchen was connected to the old service bedroom, and direct access was given to the bathroom, which was formerly accessed from the corridor. We were lucky that, when joining the two floors, both Mosaic Nolla combined perfectly in terms of design and color.
The bed was located in the space of the old kitchen, specifically in the place where the old stoves were. To be able to place the bed there, a floor-to-ceiling paneled headboard was designed that incorporated some illuminated niches that served as support for the bedside tables that, due to the existing space, were necessarily going to be small, and that also allowed us to advance the bed so that the tables would not remain wedged in the hollow of the old stoves.
The supporting furniture at the foot of the bed are light and suspended. As we have mentioned in previous posts, our main objective when choosing the furniture was to respect the floors of the house as much as possible, all Mosaico Nolla, to which we dedicated a previous post. We never tire of saying that it was the floors of the house and the height of the ceilings that made us fall in love from the first moment.
The bedroom window, which overlooks the retaining wall of the building where you can read the year of construction and the architect who built it, Fernando Guerrero Stranchan, is original to the house, as are the rest of the windows and doors, and we counted on Ifamasa to recover them. In a previous post we told you how the process of recovering the doors and windows went, and we enjoyed it a lot.
In the space of the old utility room, the dressing room was located with custom-designed cabinets from the firm Pianca, with smoked glass and interior lighting. The contemporary style of the Pianca furniture has combined perfectly with the history of the house. We wanted the house to keep its essence, and the union of classic elements with other contemporary ones has made everything fit perfectly.
For the bathroom floor we selected a microcement that would combine with the two floors of the bedroom and the dressing room. When choosing the bathroom furniture, we opted for the “Forma” collection from the Inbani firm for its geometric design with chamfered corners. The taps are from the Toro Bath firm, with a matte gold retro design.
We love the corner where the bathtub is located, which is freestanding, also from the Inbani firm. The lamp is from the firm Bomma, to create ambient lighting. The window overlooks an interior patio, and also, as in the rest of the house, we wanted to preserve the original one and recover it, with the Ifamasa company taking care of it.
