Los detalles del mobiliario diseñado y las puertas corresponden a la ornamentación polaca de los años 40 y 50. El nuevo mobiliario a medida se ha yuxtapuesto con el renovado en estilo art déco. La decoración del apartamento se complementa con pinturas de artistas polacos de la primera mitad del siglo XX.
