Who will argue that today the leading direction in art in general and in the interior in particular is eclectic, that is, a certain mix of styles? But not everything can be mixed with everything. And you can, for example, combine two similar European styles.

This is stylization.in which both Provencal and Tuscan motifs are read. “I suggested using materials characteristic of the Tuscan style, such as natural wood and stone, and Provençal décor elements such as light colored furniture appeared under the influence of the customer,” recalls the author of the project architect Alexander Weisfeld.

All surfaces - walls, doors, furniture - skillfully aged. They are uneven, rough. From the walls, for example, layer by layer, peeled off the plaster, and then the artist painted cracks and patina. All metal objects were also painted accordingly.

Mirror, decorated in the form of a round window, is a very "cozy" detail. A table converted from a Singer sewing machine is used as a console under the mirror, but there may be something else. For example, an antique buffet or chest.
