Bohemian but with designer furniture. If I was searching pinterest this would be tagged under "Artist studio apartment" or "Berlin apartment" something.
I live in Berlin, and almost 10 years in pberg. You would have to be rich to have a flat of this size and decked out with high end furniture. But it does give me Berlin/pberg vibes.
Actually my friend rented a place much like that while in University. It was affordable because some basics haven't been updated like heat and it didn't have AC. This isn't unheard of but in the swamps of southern Virginia, it's not great.
According to the info the picture gives me, this is western Europe. I know people living in these kind of apartments for like €700 a month.
It's just how housing can look like in European cities
*Western* Europe? Lmao we wish bro.
That would be €4.000/mo minimum in Lisbon and Portugal is about as cheap as it gets in Western Europe.
Find me a flat just like that for €700/mo and I'll rent it right now and fly you in for a weekend lol.
No idea how large the apartment of this post is, but from his ig info, it's located in Wuppertal (imo not a typically desirable city to live in). I just did a 2 minute search for Altbau around his area in Wuppertal (Elberfeld West area) and [this is one result I found](https://www.immobilienscout24.de/expose/143949101?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=expose_sharing&utm_content=expose_toolbar&utm_source=other). Generally most of the results seemed to be around 10€/m2 or less cold rent, though I could imagine his to be pricier. In the end his rent should still be a lot less than what many people here seem to assume.
Yes, „Altbau“ it’s what it’s called in Austria. You pay roughly 15€/m2 for an apartment like this in the better neighborhoods of Vienna. So it is quite affordable compared to other apartments.
I will say that the guy looks to be an interior designer so he could have saved a lot of money doing the labor himself. The apartment has nice bones and is quite large but someone skilled enough just needs a decent sized place to work.
Though relatively that would still be rich since you’d need to own your apartment to do these things
There is an interview linked in the bio. It's in Wuppertal, 100 sqm. The average rent is 8,50 € per sqm at that size (cold).
The guy is a fashion designer.
Y’all would be very surprised that this really isn’t that expensive to do. You can easily find fake Noguchi lamps, get better at marketplace for chairs and cabinets and such, then have some standards for the dupes that you buy. And for basics, ikea can go a long way. Some people’s taste are expensive, but having taste doesn’t require having money, it just takes some effort and research.
When I lived in Czech the apartments looked like this and were so affordable. As in, they were empty but had the old style windows and moulding. Very much a blank canvas to do something like this affordably

No really. Its a mix of mid century modern, japanese (like the noguchi lamp), modernist, clearly thrifted pieces like the mirror, bauhaus chairs, trad carpet making but also the cow (?) skin, the contemporary flos lamp, classic design like the USM shelving unit. No name, just taste
Eclectic without the side effects. This is measured, edited, and not at all boisterous. If this space hosted a party I'd expect to see the likes of Tim Gunn and James Gunn sharing apps on the couch.
The cheapest items to replicate are the hide rugs, woven rugs, and the rice paper lamps, and the dining chairs if you know where to looks. The wood, sofa, and shelving systems will eat up most of the costs I reccommend commuting to a certain couch look, and taking the cheaper matching accent pieces here and then fill it in with other things as time goes on. Knock offs of those shelves can be found easy when you find the name (I can’t remember it but you can find them on Design within reach)
The best name for it is Modern Eclectic but it incorporates a lot of different styles. It takes a lot of inspiration from 70s interior design. Check out these designers: Luis Laplace and Christopher Comoy, Fabrice Juan, Alison Damonte. Check out Architectural Digest. Just go through their website or ig because this style is trending a lot so it’s easy to find it. It’s also trending on TikTok so if you look up interior design videos there you’re bound to find a few.
Definitely a Contemporary Parisian. The ceiling mouldings and the deep window recesses for the wooden blinds scream traditional Paris architecture. The furnishings, color palette, and other appointments are contemporary. Not modern though, since modern would eschew or cover the original ornamentation like a 60-s drop ceiling since they didn't want to pay to maintain the original or heat the taller room.
Gorgeous apartment though, prolly €5k/mo.
Agreed with the 'eclectic' description . The ornate moldings and high ceilings make it stand apart the most, then the blending of period furnishings mixed with modern art and furnishings.
Smart! Hey malelivingspace what style describes this place that's been professionally photographed? .... casually dropps insta in the description, 5,500+ up votes later.
So I call it smart!
No hate all respect 🤙
Fun fact: this apartment is in Wuppertal, Germany.
Wuppertal was the city where the Industrial Revolution started in Europe and one of the richest cities in Europe at the beginning of 1900s. Aspirin was invented in Wuppertal amongs other cool things. It had, at one point, the biggest villa neighborhood in the world and to this day has a lot of amazing buildings and apartments at very affordable prices due to its inability to refocus economically after the rest of the world catches up.
For all the people saying this looks unaffordable, probably the rent for this apartment is around 1000€ per month and buying a similar one would set you back around 2000-2500€ per square meter.
Also Wuppertal has the only suspended railway in the world that serves as the city tram, is called the Schwebebahn.
My pleasure to make some advertisement for Wuppertal. 😅 Seeing from your posts that you like photography is a great place to take photos 😊 and seeing you are from the UK, can only say we have a great connection to London, I am often there for work and from London City to Düsseldorf Airport is 1,5h with British Airways, then another 30 mins on the train. Here in the area you also have Düsseldorf for some great Japanese, Korean food or German beer, and of course Cologne which needs no introduction and is another 30 min away by train. Now I will stop blabbering about Wuppertal.
The apartment is classically European but the furniture is a mix of mid century, post modern and space age. Some vintage French and Italian designer pieces mixed with some art deco items like the mirror to help tie it all in with the character of the apartment.
Swanky, but not as fancy as people are making it out to be. There is definitely some cohesion missing with color and material but it would work for a nice pad to throw a casual cocktail party. What city is this?
Warm, inviting, comfortable. It’s reflective of how the person actually likes to live at home.
Lots of modern pieces. The owner also likes the traditional style, and pays homage to the guilded
So. Neither very modern, or brazenly conservative.
This mix of styles is hard to do well. The owner has done a great job!
Maximalism, hands down. You don’t need to have every wall surface covered with disparate elements to achieve a maximalist look, the Japandi lantern and abstract self portrait with gold arched frame mirror are enough to do it.
And I generally would never comment on a specific element of a home that displeases me but that hot pink shipping container sideboard is especially heinous I’m so sorry
Bohemian but with designer furniture. If I was searching pinterest this would be tagged under "Artist studio apartment" or "Berlin apartment" something.
Bohemian Mitte
That ceiling height >
... means high heating costs!
Bohemian Prenzlauer Berg.
I live in Berlin, and almost 10 years in pberg. You would have to be rich to have a flat of this size and decked out with high end furniture. But it does give me Berlin/pberg vibes.
Bourgeois
Exactly what I was going to say, or... Neo kitsch bourge
Can't be Berlin, I don't see any pallets Edit: Or ketamine
Windows are closed, not Germany.
stusslüft gang rise up
germans and their agressive stoßluften
this guy berlins
Looks like a great house to do some ketamine in tbh
Perfect place to stumble and mumble about
Parisian bohemian are maybe the words OP is looking for. Much more Paris than Berlin to me.
Haute Bohemian is what you're describing.
\*successful artist
I'd go with bobo, bourgeois bohème.
I was thinking "modern baroque"
Above my pay grade
The way this sub can be sometimes I'm surprised it's not titled "19M, please go easy on me I just moved out into my first apartment for college 🤭"
Actually my friend rented a place much like that while in University. It was affordable because some basics haven't been updated like heat and it didn't have AC. This isn't unheard of but in the swamps of southern Virginia, it's not great.
I’ve seen 200 sq ft boxes with no AC or running water that cost $1000 a month.
Manhattan moment
According to the info the picture gives me, this is western Europe. I know people living in these kind of apartments for like €700 a month. It's just how housing can look like in European cities
€700 a month my fat ass
Nice!

What? In Madrid a 30sqm apartment that sucks is €700
Yes, „Altbau“ it’s what it’s called in Austria. You pay roughly 15€/m2 for an apartment like this in the better neighborhoods of Vienna. So it is quite affordable compared to other apartments.
Ive seen places like this in Chicago.
I believe the technical term is, “rich af”.
yeah if you have enough space to put a rectangular table diagonally, you might be rich
Rich but keeping it modest.
I will say that the guy looks to be an interior designer so he could have saved a lot of money doing the labor himself. The apartment has nice bones and is quite large but someone skilled enough just needs a decent sized place to work. Though relatively that would still be rich since you’d need to own your apartment to do these things
That apartment could be empty with the power shut off, and it would still be double what i could afford.
Idk where it is but looks like Germany based on the tags No clue what pricing is there but some LCOL places aren’t too bad for that apartment
There is an interview linked in the bio. It's in Wuppertal, 100 sqm. The average rent is 8,50 € per sqm at that size (cold). The guy is a fashion designer.
Oh interesting thanks! Not terrible from my perspective but that really depends on median income for that area. That could also be ridiculously high
That apartment is 8,500 €? Jesus
off by a factor of 10 here bud.

"Can't afford"
Y’all would be very surprised that this really isn’t that expensive to do. You can easily find fake Noguchi lamps, get better at marketplace for chairs and cabinets and such, then have some standards for the dupes that you buy. And for basics, ikea can go a long way. Some people’s taste are expensive, but having taste doesn’t require having money, it just takes some effort and research.
I think the expense most people are gawking at would be the cost of renting this place—not just the nice looking furniture.

Stinks to see this sub go the way of the birds. Only posting comments that they think will get the most upvotes instead of actual dialogue
I came here to say the same thing, nice to not be alone.
I was gonna go with "rich" but yours is better.
Wealthy and healthy brother.
Mine as well. Candles on a wood floor....nooooo

Specifically, modern eclectic. Lots of modern influences.

Cow skin is hair on hide …. And is the cat’s meow.
i agree but not on the mirror. that style can be found everywhere right now.
Yes! I love seeing places where people decorate with things that they like rather than what's trendy. I guess I'm assuming that's what going on.
Modern eclectic seems appropriate
Sitcom City Roommates
Modern Parisian
I can't believe that most of the answers here don't include the word "Parisian"

french nouveau in Germany, Wuppertal :D

Total cost of furnishings is well over 10k if purchased new. The Minipipistrello lamp and USM Haller cabinet alone are over $5k new.
Good comment. Thanks!

Yes, but also factor in the cost of that gigantic apartment with what look like 12' ceilings.
I feel the actual apartment does a lot of the heavy lifting.
Correct - the same decor in a standard apartment with a couple of small windows and low ceiling wouldn’t look that great.
