Minimalism with elements of luxury - this is how the architect defines the style of this Moscow apartment. Tatyana Mironova

Despite the small area of ​​the apartment, the architect Tatyana Mironova I found the best option space planning. “The main thing is the idea, not the number of square meters,” she says.

SALON: What was the focus in this interior - on the layout or decor?

- The apartment is really small, only 150 square meters. meters But for two people who are going to live in it, I tried to make the space as comfortable as possible and combined the living room, dining room and kitchen in one area. For dinner, the headset chose a place in the niche that is formed by the bay window. Bay window itself is a very interesting architectural element, and therefore I wanted to emphasize it. The side of the room, where the bay window is located, is flooded with natural light during the daytime, and at night, this area is illuminated by an original chandelier made of canopy-candles. Since the customer rarely cooks, we decided not to do a separate room for the kitchen. In the living room they put an island with built-in stove and sink, and all household appliances were hidden in the end of the room so as not to catch the eye. In the area of ​​the home theater (which is also located in the living room) they put a large and wide sofa. Thus, the three completely, it would seem, independent zones have united into one. In the decoration of almost all the rooms I used a rare and very beautiful tree species - rosewood. Part of the living room, corridor and bathroom floor are lined with natural stone. Visually, the entire space of the apartment is filled with three colors - white (it is baked milk), dark brown and pinkish-beige (cocoa with milk). White makes the apartment brighter, softer and brighter. Dark brown is responsible for the nobility and chic. And cocoa with milk gives the space home comfort.

S: In the decor of the living room, a chandelier draws special attention ...

- She was brought from America. These candlelit lamps are now very popular in Hollywood and are in the homes of many movie stars. The ceiling lamps of this chandelier are waxed to the touch, the lamps glow with a flickering light, creating the effect of a living fire. Due to the different height of the ceiling lamps, it seems that some lamps do not light at all - they are whole. And some, on the contrary, burn too often and eventually have time to melt. That is, the texture of the ceiling is designed to create the effect of a burning candle. By the way, in the living room there are the same sconces - for low light.

S: The bedroom, unlike the rest of the rooms, turned out to be glamorous and very feminine ...

- I just set myself the task. She found a bed, the headboard of which resembles the shape of a luxurious armchair. The wall was decorated with voluminous light wallpaper, which is matched to the color of the upholstery and slightly tinted under the bronze. Adjacent to the bedroom is a small room - a boudoir area with a mirror, an armchair and a dressing table.

Project author Tatyana Mironova: "Any customer has the right to an absolutely personal, personal style, be it classic, minimalism, vulgar luxury or eclecticism. The task of the architect is to take into account all the wishes of the customer and make the interior competently and with love."

Customer opinion: "I really wanted this apartment to be both classic and modern. Classical - on the selection of furniture and materials, and modern - on status, or something. So it happened. After Tatiana suggested that I combine several zones into one I immediately agreed to the project, because it is more comfortable to live in such a space than to roam around small rooms. And I was very pleased that, for example, the chandelier I brought from America came to this interior. "
