This interior is full of surprises. The wall here may turn out to be a door or a secretary, a mirror - a TV, an exquisite glass panel - the front of the cabinet. We will tell you what caused the architects to such unexpected decisions.

This interior is eclectic. It turned out so unusual at the request of the owner of the apartment. Her life is very dynamic, she travels a lot, sees a lot, is always abreast of the latest developments. Therefore, she wanted from the point of view of design her own home should not lag behind the most current European trends, as well as be furnished only with the latest furniture industry. In addition, the architects were tasked to make the interior of the apartment extremely functional (it is small in size - for a family of three). Therefore, there is a lot of built-in furniture and equipment, every corner of the space is used. The living room, for example, is decorated with a library shelving with diamond compartments. On its sides are pilasters of ebony, they serve as storage systems. In another pair of pilasters columns are built. The rest of the audio and video equipment is also disguised in a similar way. A secretary with a computer is hidden in the wall behind the inserts of leather panels. In the dining room there is a large mirror with a TV. It becomes visible only when it is turned on. The mirror panel in the hallway also carries the functional load: behind it are wardrobes. Even some doors are “hidden” in this house. In the bedroom, they absolutely do not stand out against the background of the wall, decorated with leather panels. The guest will not be able to discover all the secrets immediately.

All of these solutions were also created in order to preserve the integrity of the interior and make it more calm. In this way, the architects were able to tie together the many bright details with which the apartment is saturated. After all, every piece of furniture here is a masterpiece of design thought, capable of playing a solo part in the interior. Dining room, for example, is decorated with a chandelier BAROVIER&TOSO, hallway - chest of drawers BROTHERS BOFFI, living room - armchairs SMANIA. There was also a place for designer furniture: especially for these apartments, the architects have developed a beautiful velvet-covered cupboard for dishes. Creating it, they took into account the features of not only the interior, but even those items for which it is intended to be stored. A collection of dishes placed on the shelves of the cabinet perfectly.

Maria Bahareva: “We tried to use the space of this small apartment as efficiently as possible. Everything that a modern city person needs for living fits into it. Every detail of the interior is functional, and all the rooms, despite the limited area, turned out to be very roomy and comfortable. ”
