Individualism is the main feature of the modern interior. And it's great, believes Irina Gorshkova: there are plenty of opportunities for creativity, because in the arsenal of the architect - everything that has been developed by the interior art over the centuries

The architect told SALON-interior magazine that she uses a variety of styles in her work, from baroque to ethnic.

“THE INTERIOR GENRE OF A BLUE LIVING ROOM periodically comes into fashion; Baroque interpreted it in its own way, Empire, Art Nouveau. This living-dining room is a baroque fantasy. It would be a mistake to make it in one (declared) color. Here, only blue curtains and upholstery (on a general cream background). I advise you to shade a warm cream tone with cool blue. Such an interior simply radiates optimism!

In the owner's office, as in the living-dining room, only two primary colors are used - contrasting shades of mahogany and onyx, and therefore the mood here is different - strict restraint. Leather sofa - in tone panels. Draperies - the same two shades. The strictness of the color solution corresponds to the conciseness of the lines. MEDALLIONS WITH LIONS - a quote from the Napoleonic era.

In order not to violate the unity of the interior, I advise you to make a nursery in the image and likeness of "adult" rooms. But it should not be boring! So, in the children's room on one of my objects there are balusters of interesting construction. They rotate, can make different shapes. These toys! One more piece of advice: let there be several bright-colored objects (for example, scarlet) in the nursery.

IF YOU'RE SHOWN THE POETRY OF CARIBBEES and Zanzibar and you like concentrated decor, I suggest you go on a trip at home. The variant of how to develop this theme is a fireplace in a country house according to my project. The dark wood in the chimney portal trim contrasts with the bright gold of chased inlays. The stained glass ornament echoes the pattern of the carpet on the wall. HERE VERY IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE OF INDIVIDUALITY and even rarity, observed in trifles. Take at least a table made according to my drawing: the tabletop is made of ebony and decorated with a sawn wood, which was petrified in prehistoric times ”.
