Letting a small space shine

This year Delano has been asking readers to share “My home renovation”, a home improvement project that could inspire others. In the final instalment of the series: The “Jewelry box” in Limpertsberg. The owner of the flat did not want their identity published. This interview is with the interior designer behind the project, Elodie Lenoir of .

Project overview

Name: Anonymous.

Location: Limpertsberg.

When did you start your renovation project and how long did it take? 2018 [and it took] almost one year.

Tell us about the property: On the top floor of an old building, this small millhand’s apartment, featuring many internal partitions, was equipped with all essential functions.

Why did you start this project and what did you want to accomplish with the renovation? Our client fell in love with this property because of its location, on the top floor with an outstanding view of Luxembourg City. During a visit with him, we [got behind] the potential of the property.

Briefly describe the work that you undertook: We decided to transform it into a hotel-style suite with comfortable materials, mixing Nordic meekness with Italian warmth. The bedroom space can be visible or hidden by a tinted glass partition.

Now that work has been completed, what are you most pleased about? We are very proud of the results achieved, because at the beginning there were small and dark rooms and today the apartment seems bigger, and we were able to give it back all its splendour.

The residence being a bit old-fashioned, we named this property ‘Jewelry box’ because the interior appears like a jewel when you open the door! It is equipped with all the comforts, whether technical or functional.

Looking back at the project, what would you do differently now? Nothing.
