The designer has used all of his tricks in his sleeve to make this small apartment as cozy and as comfortable as possible.
The first trick the designer has used is to place a whole glass/mirror wall in the dining/living area that reflects the environment. Reflection is also made possible by the high gloss material used for the TV feature wall.
Oriental elements are also present in the apartment as they provide different flavor and a bit of mystique in an environment that would otherwise lack something to make it unique.
One of the oriental elements is the table lamp, a classic vintage oriental lamp that blends perfectly in the modern design of the home.
The coffee table is positioned as low as possible, which is another aspect of Japanese style. The designer has added a low chair next to it to further mimic the setting.
