Designer Elena Lenskikh created an elegant, respectable interior in a Moscow apartment. The basis of the concept is author's solutions and manual work.

Here there is a feeling of the unhurried current time, a special calmness, unusual for the megalopolis. One involuntarily asks the question: what was to be done with this space in order to influence time?

The advantages include the way the public zone is organized. “I didn’t become shallow,“ cutting out ”the rooms, the designer recalls.“ Thanks to this, a truly ceremonial space has turned out — the hall and the living room. ” Adds the “air” selected palette: shades of ivory, pearl – gray, beige. Wall panels made of painted wood are associated with a country house.
