Bucharest has two very distinct residential environments: the villas and houses of the interwar period in the city center, often featuring Art Deco elements, and the new constructions in the north towards Pipera. Both are located in one of Europe's most active earthquake zones.
Earthquake zone: secure, do not stack
Romania is regularly affected by tremors from the Vrancea region. For furnishing, this means the same as in Istanbul: secure tall display cabinets and chests of drawers to the wall, store heavy items at the bottom, and hang lights securely. Many older buildings have an official risk classification that should be known before making major purchases.
Art Deco in existing buildings
The Interbelic architecture, with its rounded corners, porthole windows, and terrazzo floors, exceptionally well complements geometrically inspired furniture. Those who reside in these buildings will find the appropriate design language in Art Deco, with velvet and brass as material pairings.
New constructions in the north
The opposite applies there: open floor plans, 2.70 meter ceilings, large window areas. Here, lower furniture, a large rug for zoning, and lighting on multiple levels instead of a dominant chandelier are suitable.
