Low-key elegance and complete comfort - this is, perhaps, the concept of this apartment. To achieve the desired result, the Italian designer Michele Racini acted as follows: for each thing she found exactly her place, which would correspond to her everyday and aesthetic “me”. As a result, it was not just the atmosphere that was born, but the atmosphere, if you want - the soul of the house, absolutely corresponding to the soul of its owners In terms of the apartment is the letter "P". And such a plan, as is known, has long been called “peace” among Russian architects. Is it because this interior is permeated with amazing, inexplicable tranquility, balanced harmony? The hall, which is also the entrance hall, is visually enlarged by the mirrors of the built-in wardrobe. Venetian glass's green chandelier brings to the unified modern room an element of palace poetics. Leaving the hallway behind, we find ourselves at a crossroads: the apartment is divided into two parts - the formal front door and the daily one. Step to the left - and we are in the "unofficial" dining room. Her whole appearance sets up friendly parties, the joy of communication. Therefore, a large table here, of course, was required. Above it, an elegant chandelier soars, pouring light from eight opened white tulips from crystal with gilded grains of sand. They look directly at the tabletop, decorated with an impressive vase, but with fresh flowers. The overhead light picked up by the local - wall sconces. The dark cherry of doorways and furniture graphically fits into the soft apricot range of walls with an ornamental frieze. Chairs in the dining room gently refer to empire times - curved backs and armrests, silk upholstery. The kitchen is located right there and is logically almost merged with the dining room. The only visual barrier-pause is a small ellipse table with high bar stools. This group is intended for quick breakfasts. Do not cover the same on this occasion, a large table. Quick and comfortable. Two round steps and an oval opening in the wall, in the corner of the dining room - and now you are already in private chambers.Private rooms N 1 They are numbered because they will be the second. In spacious apartments it is not only possible, but also accepted. The first set includes a nursery, a guest bedroom and two bathrooms. A nursery is so called according to tradition - a teenage boy lives in it. The seriousness and composure of his character are clearly reflected in the mood of the room. She is extremely concise. The color scheme is based on a combination of yellow, blue, green and blue, as well as warm wood shades. But crossing the threshold of the guest bedroom, you find yourself in a truly royal chambers. More precisely - in the royal rural idyll. Refinement, mixed with the mysterious reticence of color accents: pastel green and soft yellow are underlined by the metal contour of the forged headboard. In addition, the “corner” theme is developing in an original and dynamic way. First, the bedroom has a spectacular corner entrance. Secondly, another corner of the room was beaten by a niche, as if continuing the window with an obedient cloud of tulle. A illuminated niche with a vase of aquamarine and glass adorns a small corridor. Passing through it, you find yourself in the guest bathroom. Dignity and luxury, a moire of a single marble piece, snow-white ceramics and blue terry towels. The common truth is involuntarily recalled that the standard of living should be judged by the design of "common use" places.Official ceremonial zone Once again, passing the hallway, we find ourselves in the so-called official territory, the main part of which is the living room. Its configuration itself is very elegant. The ratio of volumes here is thought out with special care in order to create for the visitor the same precious feeling of discreet elegance and absolute comfort. For this, an almost exact square of the room was decided to diversify with a curved wall. It resembles a cozy rotunda and is equipped with soft spot lighting. In the rotunda it is convenient to play chess, drink tea in a secularly relaxed atmosphere. Very well chosen table - a manual copy of the table of the beginning of the XIX century, made in Italy. The decor of the living room deserves a separate discussion. The room is an example of "pure English" splendor. The "corner" of the fireplace area is handcrafted in dark wood. At first glance, the impressive mirror above the fireplace. An uneven vertical cut creates the effect of a broken mirror, although in reality it is solid. Mirror made to order specifically for this interior. Next to the living room is the owner's office. The entrance door to the office is missing; it is replaced by a wooden, varnished panel with a rare poster "La Dolce Vita" moving on rails. Closed panel opening looks like a solid wall with a niche for audio and video equipment. But it is necessary to shift the "wall" to the left, and the equipment disappears, and the office opens before you. This room is a visible embodiment of comfort and brilliance. The owner is an intellectual who loves antiques, but does not reject fashionable influences and technologies. When making a cabinet, it was important to avoid similarities with a standard and boring home office. And it succeeded. The glass desktop and ironic velvet armchairs from the end of the last century are impressive because of their “zebra-colored” colors. A nice background for them is an unpretentious antique bookcase.Private chambers N 2 They consist of the master bedroom, bathroom and dressing room. The communication between the rooms is like a “junction” in private quarters No. 1 already familiar to us: here, too, there is a small hall with marble steps. There are two windows in the large bathtub, so in the daytime it bathes in natural light. There was a place for a comfortable chair and a table on which all the necessary toiletries were placed. The bedroom combines tradition and modernity. Above a wooden chest of drawers, inlaid with different types of wood, hangs a modern mirror of unusual design. A white and blue Chinese pot is used as a base for the table lamp, in harmony with the chairs and decorative draperies. The interior is created with a captivating attention to detail, it is distinguished by careful color selection and skillful distribution of volumes. In addition, the spirit of antiquarianity is finely combined in the apartment with fragments of quite aggressive modern design. All this indicates the high professionalism of the author of the work - Michele Racini. "I cannot create an interior without knowing the attachments, lifestyle and needs of the client. The result of the work is like a dress made by an experienced tailor. It skillfully emphasizes the dignity of the figure and hides flaws, diverting attention with unusual details."
