Provence - one of the most loved by the Russians style. But how to create a modern "village" paradise with all the amenities? We found a wonderful example for you - a house in the Moscow region - and talked with its creators. A round table, a warm lampshade with fringes, ceramic rosettes, twisted cordage of rural wiring and fire in the oven ... The ideal interior comes from a happy rural childhood. And rare in our day. Someone, having matured, starts out in search of a new, fashionable happiness - and does not always find, and someone hesitates to demonstrate their "outdated" taste. And in vain. Traditional interior can be stylish, fresh, and very comfortable. 
Home owners - friendly family - try hardescape out of town from apartments in the center of the metropolis at the earliest opportunity. Therefore, their "second" house is almost the first, if not in area (250 meters for four), then in value. Customers wanted a cozy, calm and warm interior. And the founders of the architectural bureau Dominanta interior design & decoration Natalia Khodakovskaya and Yulia Kornilova were invited to embody the plans. Natalia Khodakovskaya and Yulia Kornilova, founders of the architectural bureau Dominanta Natalia Khodakovskaya is a graduate of the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering and the Institute of Design and Advertising. Yulia Kornilova graduated from the State Academy of Management and the International School of Design. Both have dozens of successful projects in their portfolio: apartments, country residences and representative spaces. Natalia loves interiors in the style of new classics and Art Deco and creates unique designer furniture for them. Julia prefers bourgeois Provence and, paying much attention to the ergonomics of space, is able to take into account the needs of all family members to create truly comfortable interiors. “I am interested in building a dream,” says Yulia. “While working on the interior, I consider the most important in the end to create a harmonious space, in tune with the owner's personality, his lifestyle and state of mind,” continues Natalia. dominanta-studio.ru 
Space and light According to the current Russianby standards, the total area for a country house is small, so the main task that the designers faced was to use the space as efficiently as possible. 
Natalia Khodakovskaya and Yulia Kornilova,architectural bureau Dominanta: - We tried to take into account the wishes of all family members. What was needed was a living room with a fireplace, a functional kitchen with a round dining table, above which is a must! - a-la Provence lampshade, massive wooden staircase, large bedroom with a roof ceiling and a children's room. The house itself and the objects that fill it, we decided, should be made of materials that live long and age beautifully, and there is no better texture than wood for this. dominanta-studio.ru 
"Front of work" went to designers already built- they did not deal with the initial planning. And a lot had to be changed. First of all - the ladder and wooden parts, with which Dominanta helped their longtime friends and partners, virtuosos for working with wood from the studio-workshop of Mitrokhin. The steps and rails of the massive staircase are painted in a dark color, balusters and risers - in white. The shelves in the living room and the trapezoid portal of the fireplace are tiled with aged brick, which was also made according to the sketches of Julia and Natalia. 
A common color solution in contrast to warm andCool colors give the rural provence a noble and very modern sound. The combination of the coolish-beige tone of the walls with white details creates an advantageous background for quaint Austrian curtains and an ornamental picture of the upholstery. 
Natalia Khodakovskaya and Yulia Kornilova,Dominanta architectural bureau: - One of the most difficult tasks in any interior is lighting. It was necessary to choose the light so that it created a certain atmosphere in the house, but at the same time it did not look prim or absurd. It seemed to us that in this space the main role of light is to set a soft, “light”, calming mood. The classic British Elstead Lighting chandeliers of warm brown color, Veranda table lamps with intricately curved wooden legs and pure snow-white lampshades and an antique textile lampshade of our own idea and embodiment helped. dominanta-studio.ru 
Kitchen In this house, the kitchen is not a central placegeographically, but essentially central. Customers are big fans of kitchen gatherings with casual conversations and interesting culinary experiments. Hence - the desire to create a space that is functional, and beautiful, and cozy at the same time. Kitchen furniture was chosen most carefully. And settled on a solid wood from the Italian Lube with Smeg household appliances 
Living room The living room is a real old-fashionedeclecticism. The combination of the log structure with the aged brick of an imposing fireplace, the external electrical wiring - from the country, the Mis en Demeure mirror - from the shabby chic in the English spirit, and the wall decor and the general pastel solution of the walls and pieces of furniture return us to Provence. 
Bedroom and nursery In the parent's bedroom, the mainfloral pattern - on the wallpaper, along one of the walls, to which the head of the bed adjoins. A technique that allows you to create the coziness necessary in the zone of maximum relaxation, but avoid redundancy. 
Botanical printed graphics on the wall - another hint of the British classics with its predilection for gardening, very relevant in a country house with its garden joys. 
Children's kingdom - under the mansard bevel. Psychologists believe that this is the most comfortable option for the child: children feel more confident in spaces with low ceilings and proportionate growth of their furniture. In this case, the storage system repeats the geometry of the wall and continues it - this helps to avoid the pressure that the standard wardrobes in the children's rooms acquire. And the combination of a yellow partition with red shades allows you to add brightness, staying within the boundaries of the overall stylistic solution of the house. 
Natalia Khodakovskaya and Yulia Kornilova,architectural bureau Dominanta: - The most valuable thing in this project is that it turned out to be even more interesting in life than in the idea on paper. We ourselves did not expect that it will become such a cute fairy-tale house. There were many difficulties and painstaking work in the process, especially with the wooden parts. But the result fully compensated for all these costs. And we are happy that this opinion is shared by a creative family who like to spend their free time there. dominanta-studio.ru
