What kind of interiors do designers create for themselves?Bright, unusual, memorable and often quite controversial. The new home of a creative Toronto couple is many things, but boring is not. Where most see problems, newly minted designer Vanessa Emam and her husband Rambod Nasrin saw an opportunity. The couple bought a nearly century-old house, in which perhaps only the doors functioned properly, and transformed it into a modern, eclectic residence with a rich palette and bright, handcrafted decor.
The owner painted the door behind which the guest bathroom is hidden herself. The starting point for the work were newspaper clippings and photographs, which the designer pasted over the door.
After the rework, the old plastic trimsceased to match the composition and were replaced by aluminum ones. They, in turn, inspired the owner to another artistic experiment - a ceiling lamp. Vanessa Emam also gave it life on its own. Our opinion The kitchen here is made in accordance with the latest trends: a monolithic black block of cabinets and a snow-white island. Everything is without handles, extremely minimalistic. Note that the bar counter is made as an extension of the island. Apparently, the countertop and sides of the island are made of Corian. It was thanks to it that it was possible to make such a thin and durable structure.
The owners wanted to make the living room as compact as possiblemodern, but at the same time keeping the wooden floors and fireplace. Thus, it was necessary to replace the brickwork of the portal with concrete, and the traditional fireplace grate with fireproof glass.
To emphasize the mixture of times, the sofaThe area is decorated with rather eccentric modern tables, a plastic armchair and a sofa, the shape of which goes back to the distant Victorian era. Our opinion Pay attention to the floor in the living room: the boards are at least 40 cm wide - this is currently at the height of fashion. At the same time, the wood itself is made of inexpensive varieties. Unfortunately, in our stores, the floorboards made of pine and larch, which are available to everyone, are much narrower. And those wishing to lay such a fashionable floor will have to choose either a board of antique origin (from old European trains, for example), or a larch board specially cut to the required size (which significantly increases its cost).
