Property: 3+1 apartment near the lake in Lausanne
Objective: Showcase the versatility of the extra room to appeal to a broader buyer audience
Strategy: Offer two interior layout options that reflect distinct lifestyle scenarios

Design Approach

Scenario 1: Children’s Room – Play, Learn, Rest

Elevated play zone includes a niche with pegboard for climbing or hanging accessories
Study corner with sleek desk and child-appropriate task chair
Book display installed at child’s height to foster early literacy habits
Organic rug and whimsical lighting for a playful, cozy ambiance

Scenario 2: Adult Bedroom – Calm, Soft, Inviting

Neutral grasscloth wallpaper adds warmth and texture
Statement upholstered bed with soft curves for a restful focal point
Elegant vanity-desk hybrid with curved velvet chair for versatility
Sculptural flower wall décor and soft lighting reinforce spa-like calm
Subdued tones and tactile layering enhance emotional connection

Implementation Considerations

Wall, door, and electrical layouts remain unchanged between both scenarios
Furniture dimensions chosen to optimize circulation and flow
Both setups require minimal structural change, allowing buyer flexibility post-sale
Designed for easy conversion between the two versions
