Living room design
Łódź and online

The living room is the heart of the apartment, and in new builds it's also the kitchen, dining room and workspace in one. A good design divides it into zones without building walls, so each works on its own and together.

Challenges

What clients most often come with

Three situations that start most living room projects in Łódź.

Open day zone with a kitchen, an island clad in wooden slats and a dining area by the window — design by Stefańska Design

Open-plan living room

How do you separate zones without building walls? An island, a change of flooring, lighting and cabinetry — so the kitchen doesn't “spill into” the relaxation zone and the whole stays coherent.

Small living room in an apartment block

12–18 m² that has to fit a sofa, TV, storage and sometimes a desk. Custom built-ins, a light palette and properly scaled furniture make the difference between cramped and cozy.

A living room for living, not for photos

Kids, pets, remote work, guests — the living room has to handle it all. Materials that stand up to everyday life and a layout designed for your lifestyle, not for a catalog.

5 proven layouts

In-line kitchen + island as the zone boundary

Kitchen cabinetry along one wall, with an island or peninsula marking the natural boundary between cooking and relaxing. The most popular layout in new apartments — requires min. ~3.5 m of zone width.

L-shaped kitchenette in the corner

The kitchen takes the corner, leaving the rest of the space for the day zone. A good choice for smaller floor areas — we zone with flooring, lighting or wall color.

Peninsula with dining space

A peninsula combines worktop and table — saving the space a separate dining area would take. It works great in 20–25 m² living rooms where a full island wouldn't fit.

Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry that “hides” the kitchen

A kitchen in uniform, full-height cabinetry in the wall color — it visually disappears, and the living room looks bigger and calmer. Requires good ventilation and well-chosen appliances.

Open zone with a defined dining area

In larger spaces (30+ m²) the dining table becomes the center between the kitchen and the lounge area. Three zones, one coherent language of materials and lighting.

Living room with unusual geometry

A difficult floor plan turned into an asset — every corner serves a function, and the day zone has a clear center of gravity.

Process

How a living room design comes together

Seven stages, and at each one you know what you get and what comes next.

  1. Project kick-off and site survey

    We start with a conversation about your needs, lifestyle and budget. You fill in a short design questionnaire, then I visit the site — taking precise measurements, photo documentation and analyzing the existing installations. The design is based on real data, not the developer's floor plan.

    Project kick-off and site survey – Stefańska Design

    You get: design brief + measurement documentation + installation map

  2. Material selection and moodboard

    Based on the brief, I prepare a moodboard with specific finishing materials, furniture and lighting — across several price ranges. If needed, I arrange a showroom visit so you can see and touch the materials before deciding.

    You get: moodboard + material list with price alternatives

  3. 2D functional layout

    I develop several 2D layout options with furniture, built-ins and appliances. Each version is a different way to divide and use the space. Together we choose the best layout and approve it before moving on to visualizations.

    2D functional layout – floor plans – Stefańska Design

    You get: 2–3 versions of 2D floor plans + an approved final layout

  4. 3D visualizations and AI animation

    I create photorealistic visualizations of every room with the exact materials, furniture and lighting specified in the design. The Premium package includes an AI animation showing your interior in motion.

    You get: photorealistic renders of every room (+ AI animation in the Premium package)

  5. Technical documentation and cost estimate

    I compile complete documentation for the renovation crew: wall drawings with dimensions, electrical and plumbing diagrams, and a full material specification with prices. Plus a cost estimate, so you know what everything will cost before work begins.

    Technical documentation and cost estimate – Stefańska Design

    You get: construction drawings + material specification + cost estimate

  6. Realization coordination

    I join the meeting with your renovation crew — walking them through the design, answering technical questions and making sure the contractors understand every detail. This eliminates errors caused by on-site improvisation.

    Realization coordination – project execution control – Stefańska Design

    You get: contractor meeting report + list of execution notes

  7. Room styling

    I visit the finished space and help with the final arrangement of furniture, decor and accent lighting. For those who want the end result to look exactly like the visualizations.

It was a pleasure to work with Angelina on a genuinely challenging interior design project for an apartment with unusual geometry.

She listens, so don't hesitate to be open about your needs and requirements — Angelina will surely propose your dream, ideal design.

Krzysztof

Łódź

We designed our first apartment together and I'm hugely grateful that it was with Angelina that we could create our dream home. In 40 m² we have a huge amount of storage space, which is the absolute success of this design.

Your patience, professionalism and attention to detail made the collaboration a pleasure.

Frequently asked questions about living room design

How much does a living room design cost?

It depends on the floor area and scope: layout and visualizations only, or full documentation with realization coordination. After looking at your floor plan at a free project quote, I'll give you an exact figure for your living room.

How do you separate the kitchenette from the living room?

The most common zoning methods: an island or peninsula as a natural boundary, a change of flooring or wall color, a suspended ceiling over the kitchen zone, lighting that defines the zones, and furniture placed with its back to the kitchen. The choice depends on the apartment layout — we settle it at the 2D functional layout stage.

Can a small living room be designed well?

Yes — small living rooms (12–18 m²) are common in Łódź apartments. The key is custom built-ins, a light palette, layered lighting and furniture proportional to the space. Even in 40 m² we can carve out plenty of storage — client reviews confirm it.

Can I order a design for just the living room?

Yes — I design single rooms, including living rooms and open-plan living areas. It's a good option for a staged renovation or for testing the collaboration. A whole-apartment design is more cost-effective per m², though.

How long does a living room design take?

A single-room design usually takes less time than a whole apartment — roughly 2–3 weeks in the Basic or Standard package, depending on the number of revision rounds.
