In anticipation of new episodes of the popular EnglishTV series "Sherlock" we decided to conduct our own interior investigation within the walls of the main character's home Cinema is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for almost any creative worker, let alone interior designers and architects. We also decided to keep up and invited the most creative of the professionals in this field known to us - interior designer Stepan Bugaev - to analyze and break down into components the interior of the detective of all England: Sherlock. The film version, of course, was chosen as the most relevant. Today, the designer will reveal himself to us from a completely new side. The material you are reading has been completely prepared by Stepan Bugaev and represents, in our opinion, the most complete and impartial analysis of the interior of the main character of the TV series "Sherlock". So...
It's hard to remain impartial when you need to betalk about something incredibly popular, like the BBC series Sherlock. Interior designer Stepan Bugayev has managed to do just that. But that makes the professional's opinion on the famous and modernized 221B Baker Street apartment all the more interesting.
Probably people who have never heard of SherlockHolmes, exist, but meeting them is a rarity. The fame of this literary character can be the envy of any historical figure. Is it any wonder that the image of Sherlock has now been reproduced in modern realities thanks to the BBC project of the same name. Fans of the series have already managed to find out everything about their favorite characters, their life, home, costumes and gadgets down to the smallest detail. But we have something to tell, too. This month, we decided to walk around 221 B Baker Street and evaluate the environment in which the famous detective managed to solve so many cases from a design point of view.
Common room:fireplace area When you look at the furnishings in this room, at first it seems that everything was created in accordance with the original work: the fireplace, the Victorian wallpaper, and the curtains on the windows. It is quiet, calm, and probably smells of books, tobacco, and dust. But if you look closely, you notice a modern lamp and the iconic Le Corbusier chair. Everything looks very organic here.
Such different chairs, arranged infireplace area, perfectly reflect the dissimilarity of the two main characters. John Watson's noticeably worn and upholstered armchair, as expected, stands right opposite Sherlock's brutal leather armchair.
The interior of the living room is dominated byadditional lighting, which sets the mood for the entire room. Although there are few lamps, they are placed very competently. If you look closely, you can see that some lamps are placed not so much for functional reasons, but to emphasize some detail in the interior. In addition, the additional light is quite soft, but in moderation - and it turns out that the space is both very well lit and does not irritate with its brightness, as sometimes happens with overhead lighting. How to create a similar living room General living room: sofa area
The leather sofa and bold skull poster give this area of the living room a more contemporary feel.
The spacious leather sofa here is a special featureconversation starter. When you see it, there's only one question that comes to mind: "What the hell?" A plush beige sofa would look much better here, and the one in use is non-functional due to its leather upholstery: it would be more appropriate to place it in an office, not at home.
The presence of such an unfriendly sofa inThe living room is explained rather by the fact that it looks very much like Sherlock himself - in such a relatively homely environment, he is the only one here who is so polished. Hallway It seems that the hallway was originally conceived not as a space connecting several rooms, but rather as a transit point. It is light and comfortable here, there is even a chair on which you can sit down to catch your breath or tie your shoelaces. This hallway also looks very safe and cozy due to the warm, rich lighting and the plant motif present both in the design of the walls and in the upholstery of the chair. People are not in the hallway very often, so the lamp here plays a more decorative role. But it is this table lamp that creates a special cozy atmosphere - if you remove it, the room will simply turn into a gloomy corridor.
Credit must be given to the team thatthought out the interior of the apartment on Baker Street: everything is done very competently, not a single detail remains unnoticed. Never before has chaos seemed so attractive. If you want to create such an interior, then do not watch the series. It is better to design it the way it has formed in your head, the way you feel it. Then you will definitely get your own "Sherlock Holmes" design with the much-needed orderly chaos and charming rebellion.
