During his life in Denmark, the owner was accustomed to appreciating natural light, simplicity and living without curtains on the windows - he wanted the northern design not to leave him in the Russian capital. Only he lacked color, so the blue and pink, quite cultural, shades added to the interior of originality. As well as terrazzo, which finished the floor and walls (in the bathroom).

There are many additional light sources, instead of the ceiling, floor lamps, wall lamps, built-in lamps and fluorescent lamps mounted on the beam (in the kitchen) are used.

In order to visually increase the height of the ceilings, low furniture was chosen and the emphasis was placed on the lower part of the walls. A mustard-shade rim runs around the bedroom perimeter. In the bedroom there are no closets, all things are stored in the dressing room. Wardrobe in the apartment two. The second goes to the hallway, it is stored outerwear and household supplies. “Wardrobe rooms are also a budget alternative to wardrobes,” says Boris. - Their filling can be improved over time. "
