The organizer of the project called "new apartment" was its owner Ekaterina Tsareva. A person who is creative, infinitely vital and energetic, from the very beginning she knew that only a bright interior would be truly comfortable for her family. "There is a common opinion that people relax in the interior decorated in" calm "colors," says Catherine, "that is, mostly in beige, brown, gray. But for some reason we go to rest to the blue sea, green grass, flowering trees." .. And we understand that in Moscow we lack all this very much. And not only in the city, in general, we lack the sun, bright colors in the middle lane. That is why I associate the concept of "rest" with the rich colors of the Mediterranean, exotic islands Here is this joy, this feeling of rest, idle I tried to convey in the interior of my own apartment. " Typically, decorators prefer relatively neutral color of the walls and ceiling, and bring brightness with the help of parts - vases, pillows, individual pieces of furniture. Immediately, the approach is fundamentally different: the walls and ceilings are bright, finished with a multi-layered finish using real gold and silver, which gives the effect of luminescence and iridescence. In daylight, one effect, in electric light - the other.

So, the corridor is bright red. I ask Catherine how guests react to such an unexpected color of the entrance area. “They like it very much,” says the hostess. “For example, my friend Natasha Andreichenko thinks that this is an exceptionally good solution. Besides, the color intrigues, the guests want to go further, to the maroon-gold living room, to the dining room, decorated in pistachio color, everything consider in detail. " On the details really worth paying attention to. For example, the cornice is classic, but painted by Marat Ka is not at all classical - silver, gold. Or a mirror in the living room, painted with golden flower strings. Behind him is a cunning wardrobe, in which a TV panel, speakers and other equipment are hidden. There are many amazing things here, and each has its own story. In the room of the son there is a beautiful carved screen, which the owners brought from India, and in the corridor an armchair of author's work, existing in a single copy. Katya brought him from Petersburg.

There are other unusual things. So, in the living room and the female office, architects designed the boudoir zones (they are simply called “rolls” in the family, and Katya, by the way, asserts that it is very convenient to sit with a laptop on such a roll, so she is justified in the study). Between the offices of the owner and the hostess a window of frosted glass, which depicts a stylized golden tree - a symbol of life, prosperity and development. And in a sense, the symbol of the interior itself, which is also in constant development. Now, for example, the owners are picking up interior accessories and painting.

Maria Bahareva: "We really enjoyed working with this object. It was interesting to work with a bright, original person. There was no predictable image here; what happened was the result of constant creative searches and thoughts of everyone who worked on the object. that its habitat should be built by listening to its internal tuning fork, and not looking back at common, standard solutions. second opinions "
