The customer wanted the interior to look expensive, but without redundancy. Julia Kryuchkova proposed a project in the spirit of concise classics. “We chose a complex, eclectic version of the classics,” she says. - This is not a baroque, and not Empire, and no Victorian style. We have eliminated gold-plated details and pompous architectural elements, with an emphasis on calm colors and solid surroundings. ” The mood of the classics is created through the use of forged grilles, mosaic tiles and stained glass inserts, but they do not stand out from the restrained and elegant building. Even the supporting columns flanking the stairs to the second floor are decorated in one of the most “neutral” orders, almost devoid of decor, Doric.

The house is two-storey, on the first floor there are concentrated public areas - a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, which are actually a single space, zoned only with the help of furniture arrangement. On the second floor are private rooms. “The customer wanted the walls in the whole house to be light, white,” says the decorator. - On the one hand, this is a winning solution: it is much easier to choose the situation for such a background. On the other hand, this creates certain restrictions in the color scheme: you can only play with the color of furniture, lamps and related accessories. Fully white turned out we have a lounge and kitchen. In other zones, we have added a bit of color from the calm, dim part of the spectrum. ” Each room is decided in its own color: in the living room (it also serves as a home cinema) pink-greenish colors dominate, in the dining room brown, the bedroom is pale peach. A massive ceiling cornice with a complex architectural ornament, ordered by the decorator in the Peterhof workshop, became the unifying element of the decor of the main area of ​​the living-dining room-kitchen. In the design of this area set the tone for luxurious curtains. Under them were already selected furniture upholstery and small accessories. For example, the upholstery of the sofa in the living room echoes the soft turquoise color of the curtains, and for the lamp shades of table lamps the fabric is used to tone brighter than the curtains. “For a long time I was looking for colors that would be in harmony with each other,” says Julia. - After all, the interior is like an orchestra. Of course, there are solo, main instruments, but they should not interrupt the sound of the others. ”

Project author Julia Kryuchkova: “I work in different styles, I’m interested in classic and pure minimalism. Although classic interiors are still closer to Russian customers. I try to develop my own style, the main thing in which is attention to details. As in the case of this project: this interior is calm, worked out, it is all in nuances, complex color transitions and a multitude of shades. I have been choosing finishes for a long time, I like to play with textures, because the quality of the project depends on it ”
