In addition to their affection for each other, Rochelle and Wojciech share a love of bright colors, comic books and vinyl toys, which is reflected in the home’s interior.
Rochelle painted a scene from “The Adventures of Tintin” just for Wojciech’s birthday.
The open-plan space that combines the kitchen, dining room, and living room is filled with plenty of sunlight throughout the day. The room is clearly visible from all angles, making it much easier to keep an eye on the two toddlers.
It’s only logical that it’s the place where the family spends most of their time. Boys love helping their mom cook, as well as imagining themselves as chefs in their own play kitchen.
Of course, parents share toys with the boys. Wojciech made this slate Manny especially for his wife, but all four members of the family draw on it.
At the time, ordering and shipping souvenirs from the U.S. cost a significant amount, so Wojciech decided to use his own resources. He created a computer model, 3D-printed it, sanded it and coated it with chalkboard paint.
With all due respect to their shared hobby, the couple finds it extremely important that the interior is organized and comfortable for permanent living. They accepted the minimalist design trends to make room for their growing family.
To that end, they got rid of the two-seater sofa in the center of the living room as soon as Roman was born, and soon parted with the ottoman as the second child, Adrian, came into the house. Rochelle finds that having the space available helps children develop motor skills, and makes cleanup much easier.
In addition to the figures and accessories, Rochelle and Wojciech’s collection includes a huge number of comic books and.
A little remodeling was done in the house. Wojciech’s father, who – quite fortunately – is a builder, helped the couple with the renovations, which helped cut costs somewhat.
Spouses often receive gifts from their creative friends. A laser-engraved skateboard was given to them by famous American cartoonist and artist Ron Cobb.
The fun marathon continues in the boys’ room. Bright decor and a loft bed make it the perfect place to play and sleep. Rochelle particularly likes this interior, believing it illustrates the sensible balance between static objects and space.
The bed was made by Wojciech, with the help of his father and a friend. They made sure they had built-in shelving under the bed, saving money on bookshelves and ensuring design consistency.
When the Wowrzyniak first moved in, Rochelle realized that the bedroom didn’t get half as much sunlight as the living room. She thought the cheerful yellow would do the trick, but was soon disappointed.
The interior looked, to say the least, strange. For two years Rochelle tried to come to terms with the depressing view, because she didn’t want to admit to herself and Wojciech that she’d picked the wrong color.
At the second attempt, it all worked out. Rochelle loves Private Tone by Dulux, which is a favorite shade of the walls, and I have to say, it doesn’t compensate for the lack of natural light.
Unique artifacts and original color schemes make this design unlike any other, although it is unlikely that such a creative couple could produce something less original.
This space looks absolutely stunning! I’m curious to know what elements or design choices give it that playful character and strong personality?
