Interior Designer: Cristina Rodríguez, Barcelona

I keep going back and forth between liking this space and being entirely unsure. I suppose that has always been my relationship with modern interiors, but this one is one with which have struggled with more than usual. Interior designer Cristina Rodríguez was tasked with transforming this sunny apartment from the 40’s in Parc del Turó, in the Barcelona district of Sarriá-San Gervasio for a fashion designer in Barcelona. The result is a grounding palette of white and black, punctuated with natural materials such as rattan, linen and leather, and beautiful Chinoiserie wallpapers, which Rodriguez likes to refer to as an oriental greenhouse. “I like to mix east and west, modern lamps and the ’50’s and ’70’s, Asian antiques and improbable objects”, says Rodríguez.
