Interior Design

MONROE is a new business model on the Romanian market. It comes up with quality express beauty services combined with a relaxing lounge where you can spend quality time, socialize and enjoy a fancy cocktail.
For the contemporary woman, Marilyn Monroe is the model of natural beauty, but at the same time she represents the universally admired diva. So we decided to use this archetype of modern beauty, around which to build the interior design concept.
We’ve chosen four key words: LUXURIOUS, EXTRAVAGANT, ROMANTIC and POP.
We have combined elements influenced by pop art, with many references to Andy Warhol’s exuberant color palette. The design is thought of as a way to convey the feeling that you find yourself in a very comfortable space, but also full of life, with a lot of positive energy. Therefore we’ve chosen different styles, from pop to rococo, with neo-kitsch accents.

Each room has its own aesthetic theme.

The lounge

The lounge is designed as an intimate space with colorful furniture and floral light pendants by Tord Boontje. We wanted to create a luxurious and eccentric environment that gives you a romantic and exuberant feeling, but that also makes you feel sexy and relaxed. Here you are invited to spend quality time with friends, to drink an espresso or a cocktail, or organize a party.

The make-up room

The make-up room is an extension of the lounge. The open space (lounge + make-up) is partitioned by a mobile screen made of white silk tubes that give versatility to the entire room. Therefore the concept used for the lounge continues to the make-up room. We use the same type of luxurious furniture - very comfortable, colorful, with playful accessories that entertain you.

Hairstyle room

The hair styling room is a mix of contemporary and classic, with references to the works of Damien Hirst. We continued the idea of the light sources from the make-up room, using the same kind of cage chandeliers painted this time in pink . Ample mirrors are positioned to increase space.

Restroom

The restroom continues the leitmotif of the entire space. We wanted to create a very colorful, stylish and fun toilet. The wallpaper from the front wall reproduces the tile patterns in a very vivid color palette. Also near this wall, we placed a mirror with a sticker on it - displaying a sexy naked man in real size, with a toilet paper roll between his legs, which obviously MONROE clients can use (the toilet paper, not the naked guy).
