The basis of the color solution of the apartment interior was a pearl-lilac tone, shaded creamy, and also - muted gold and silver.

This apartment belongs to young spouses. She was conceived as a family nest for two, but by the time the interior was completed, the family had acquired a baby. The guest room was turned into a nursery, and nothing else was done: planning, furniture in soft velvet upholstery, delicate color palette and good atmosphere (yes, the architect can do that!) - everything seemed to be specially created for a family with a small child.

At the same time, the interior is expensive, representative, elegant, with elements of glamor. “He owes a lot to his mistress, her personality and tastes,” says the architect. Yuliya Karavaeva. “She took an active part in the discussion of the concept, acted as a stylist and decorator at the final stage of the apartment design.”

Thanks to the idea of ​​the project authors, a bas-relief of roses appeared on the walls in the executive, front part of the apartment - in the style of ar-deko. More precisely, this is a fantastic "pink trees". The fancy furniture of the factory was very suitable here. COLOMBOSTILE - low, solid sofa and armchairs in velvet upholstery with monograms, silvering and gilding, “leopard” pouf and numerous tables from wenge with silver-plated details.

The flower theme, defined by the bas-relief, is supported by a panel in the living room, where flowers are depicted on an enlarged scale, and by painting in the dining room (lilac brushes, painted in a generous manner). The hostess loves flowers, and numerous bouquets of fresh flowers in vases elegantly close the floral theme in the interior.

“But the most important thing,” says Olga Izmalkova, - that thanks to the lilac flower theme that the hostess loves so much, we have found the color solution of this apartment.

True, it is not pure lilac. It was heavily diluted and complicated, and as a result, the basis of the coloristic solution of the interior was a pearl-lilac tone, shaded creamy, and also - muted gold and silver. In private chambers, the lilac theme develops. And here it is already a brighter, more pure lilac color. It was shaded with accessories of an even thicker, almost purple color - sconces, silk tassels and, of course, a branch of real, living lilacs.

Natalya Khodakovskaya: “In the front part of the apartment there is a decorative wall covering - with an interesting effect. It changes color depending on the lighting: in the daytime it is a pearl-gray color with a purple tint, and in the evening, with artificial light, it is a purple-lilac color. ”
