Everything on this object - from planning decisions to decorating - belongs to one author. The architect has created an absolutely individual interior in a particularly fashionable direction made for the last two years. A lot of things here, including columns, portals, doors, built-in furniture, murals, parquet design, textiles, created according to the drawings of Tatiana Staschuk. Furniture in the old style, made in the famous Italian factories (ELLEDUE, ANGELO CAPPELLINI and others), made entirely by hand and with almost jewelry quality. “The task was to create a cozy interior in a classic style, and, as it were, an already habitable space, so that customers could immediately feel at home,” recalls Tatiana Staschuk.
The layout is quite simple and rational: the apartment is divided into two parts isolated from each other - a block of public and a block of private premises. Straight from the hallway you find yourself in a small hall. Further to the left, through the arch framed by classical columns, the open space of the living room, where the home theater, library, dining room and fireplace areas are located. And behind the door to the right is a private area. There are master bedroom, children's rooms and bathrooms.
The interior palette is built on halftones - soft cream, beige, greenish shades. “It was important for the owners to make the apartment bright and sunny,” the architect recalls. In particular, with a parquet of oak, walnut and Karelian birch and individual pieces of furniture made of walnut. This, for example, a dining group and a round table with chairs in front of the fireplace in the living room.
Pure white in this interior, we will not find anywhere. The palette is pastel, warm colors, the transitions of colors are maximally relaxed. So, the stucco on the ceiling is painted with shades of beige and mother of pearl and patinated. The details of the carved and hand-painted furniture are also drawn with a thin tassel in the spirit of Provence style (the carving is written in a darker tone of paint). Silk draperies are chosen in such a way that they differ from the color of the walls by half a tone, but at the same time exactly match the chosen palette. In the kitchen and bedrooms, the color scheme is almost monochrome, built on shades of cream and muted gold. Gold in general in this interior is used very carefully - these are gilded details of frames, lamps, statuettes. The author of the project deliberately avoided pompousness, creating a pleasant chamber atmosphere in the apartment. Even the ceiling painting - the reception of monumental painting - does not look monumental at all. The paints are maximally relaxed, and the plot is selected soft and chamber - the roses behind the openwork fence.
