Creating an interior in the spirit of a certain historical epoch, you cannot do without expensive antiques, the architect believes Ivan Korshev-Chavev. And the word "bust", he proposes to ban in general

Tells Ivan Korshev-Chavev: “If you decide to create a decent frame for your collection of antique furniture, sculptures, paintings, vases, do not be afraid of the high“ density ”of the interior. As a rule, the interior in the historical style - dense, rich.

Make non-standard decisions. So, THIS KITCHEN OF A NUT WITH A THREAD AND INCRUSTATION WE COLLECTED FROM FRENCH ANTIQUE CABINETS, buffets, dressers in the style of "Bolon". The doorways are decorated with carved portals - also antique French, in the style of "Bolon". In the same rich nut range - the floor (slabs of natural marble). Luxury can be set off and enhanced by luxury - try it.

Create rooms on different topics under one common theme. For example, we made a “Chinese” room in the customer's house, because the general theme was “French Villa”. IN THE XIX TH CENTURY IN FRANCE SHINUAZRY WAS IN A BIG FASHION, it was prestigious to have your own “Chinese Pavilion”. What is missing in this room! There probably fit half of the Chinese master collection: furniture, prints, sculptures. In order to somewhat "break" the diversity and density, we obtyanul two walls with a patterned red cloth, and two - monochromatic beige. It arranged the space. You can cover three walls with one cloth and one with another.

Ceiling cover in the two-room living room space does not necessarily paint. You can decorate it with paintings. For example, we placed there a collection of six paintings by Antonio Guardi "Ascent of Calvary". Painting such a level requires a decent framing, and we used gilded stucco and etched glass. ”
