This Tbilisi residence is an embodiment of cultural synthesis, harmoniously merging the essence of old Tbilisi with the allure of Southeastern aesthetics. Purchased in the summer of 2023, the owner, Irma was captivated by its historic location and the antique charm exuded by the building’s design.
The renovation process was an intricate endeavor. The refurbishment demanded a complete overhaul, involving extensive rewiring, renewing the weathered wooden staircase, and a fundamental repositioning of the bathroom. These efforts transformed the layout, resulting in a thoughtfully planned space comprising a living room, bedroom, compact storage area, and a practical kitchen.
Upon entering the living room, warmth pervades the space. Light-toned walls complement the wooden floors, creating a cozy atmosphere. Eclectic decor elements add vibrancy, complemented by old-style windows and doors, infusing an antique aura into the room. An inviting sitting area with alluring sofas and armchairs along with original paintings induces an oriental aesthetic, balanced by the infusion of natural greenery.
The kitchen, adorned in green and blue elements, marries seamlessly with the original walls, embodying authenticity. The green-hued cabinets resonate with the tone of the room, offering a cohesive and integrated feel. The signature feature, a striking glass window, dominates with its blue hue, creating a picturesque ensemble that harmonizes with the surrounding elements.
A cozy working corner, meticulously designed and adorned with ambient lighting and functional furniture, defines the multifunctional space. This nook encapsulates the distinct ambiance of Tbilisi, evoking a sense of warmth and comfort for all visitors.
Transitioning to the bedroom, simplicity and refinement take center stage. Wooden elements and the preserved original wall texture define the space, setting the tone for an elegant synthesis of archaic and contemporary styles. Echoes of old Tbilisi are retained, while ornamental furniture and decor elements introduce an Eastern allure, creating a serene and inviting space.
Throughout the apartment, a profusion of natural materials contributes to a refreshing and inviting environment, making it an ideal sanctuary within the bustling cityscape of Tbilisi.
Vere, also known as Vera, is one of the historic neighborhoods nestled in the southwestern part of Tbilisi, on the right bank of the Mtkvari River. Its name is derived from the Veri River, and it was previously known as Skvireti (Skoreti), an ancient settlement near the city. Vere's existence can be traced back to the 13th century, although archaeological findings suggest that these lands were inhabited even earlier.Vere played a significant role as an important strategic and trade route, with the road to Trialeti passing through its territory. In the 18th century, the road was guarded by a dedicated detachment known as the "Guardian of Veri Gorge." During the 17th-18th centuries, Vere expanded to encompass the area from present-day Mikheil Javakhishvili Street to Gabashvili Street, including districts like Vardisubani, Vake, Saburtalo, and Akhalshen.Noteworthy landmarks within Vere include the well-preserved St. Andrew's Church, built during the 12th-13th centuries and commonly referred to as the Blue Monastery. In the past, a four-span white-lime bridge spanned the Vera River, constructed in the mid-17th century, but it was replaced in 1932.Today, Vere remains a central and vibrant region of the city, retaining its historical charm while embracing modern developments. It stands as a testament to Tbilisi's rich cultural heritage and offers a captivating blend of tradition and contemporary urban life.

I was born and raised in Tbilisi, Georgia - საქართველო, and hospitality is something that comes naturally. I lived in the United States for 18 years and traveled extensively. Tbilisi - თბილისი - has always been an amazing hub for artists, visionaries and creative souls. It is also a place with a much greater community spirit than any other place on earth. I recently returned to Tbilisi and love rediscovering this ancient city. I design spaces that offer very special and exquisite experiences to my guests, and I want to share the beauty Tbilisi has to offer. I've worked in the International/NGO field for years, am a traveler, and also a designer now, sharing my love of interior design with my guests. I love meeting new people, sharing my knowledge about the rich history and culture of Georgia, and showing what real Georgian hospitality is about. I want to make sure you have the best travel/stay experience possible.
