The apartment we will show you today is brightan example of a style that combines chic, glamor, luxury and, at the same time, intelligence and simply good taste. However, the beauty of this interior is not its only advantage. We recommend that you pay attention to both the layout of the apartment and the arrangement of furniture, they are extremely interesting here. The apartment is located in a building that was decorated in the loft style. Initially, it was a three-room apartment. But after designer Elena Andreeva took up the matter, the space underwent dramatic changes. And all for the better. Zoning and planning were done according to the canons of modern designers, taking into account the cardinal directions, views from the windows, and the number of storeys. Elena Andreeva, interior designer, decorator Graduated from the International School of Design. In 2001, she founded the Well-Design studio, which is engaged in the design of residential premises. well-design.ru The designer had 150 meters of space at her complete disposal. In 10 months, the space was transformed beyond recognition. The apartment is located on a corner - two of its walls face different directions. One window overlooks a pre-revolutionary house, and the other one overlooks the boulevard and park. I decided that this part of the apartment should be given over to the living room, kitchen and dining room — the space where the whole family often gathers. It was the beautiful view from the arched windows that became a weighty argument in favor of the redevelopment. Elena AndreevaApartment before redevelopment After approvalDuring the redevelopment, a clever "transfer" of the kitchen was made - now one of the bedrooms is located in this space. The kitchen itself was moved to the living room area - this became possible due to the fact that the apartment is on the second floor and there are non-residential premises underneath it.Apartment after redevelopment Thus, inThe living room, dining room and kitchen "got along" quite harmoniously in a single space. In addition, there was room for a work area. Three bedrooms were located in the second part of the apartment. The number of bathrooms was reduced from three to two.The author of the project is Elena Andreeva Author of the project - Elena Andreeva Living room areaThe largest area in the apartment is occupied by the living room. It is separated from the dining room and kitchen by a pylon — this is the only load-bearing structural element in the room that visually divides the space. From the very beginning of work on the project, Elena Andreeva wanted to create a classic interior. But during the renovation, the idea transformed into something else — into one with many original items. The result is an unusual mix of styles and a successful combination of seemingly incompatible things. This is a modern interior, although only a couple of items correspond to the spirit of the times. Many accessories refer to the past and history — half-columns, metal Buddha heads, a bas-relief with the inscription Alexander Pope, a fragment of a capital on a stand, a vintage chandelier. The walls in the living room have very unusual wallpaper that looks like aged plaster — it feels like archaeologists found them, wiped them off, and a beautiful pattern became visible. Elena Andreeva Incidentally, according to the designer's idea, the Buddhas were to be placed on the windowsills in the arched window openings, but the furniture assemblers, while Elena was away, placed them on the half-columns. Initially, the project planned large candlesticks to match the chandelier.The author of the project is Elena AndreevaThe author of the project is Elena AndreevaThe author of the project is Elena AndreevaThe author of the project is Elena AndreevaThe author of the project is Elena AndreevaProject author - Elena Andreeva Dining areaThere are many ways. In the apartment on Krasnaya Presnya there is an amazing piece of furniture - a round dining table made of natural wood with a black rubber rim. The tabletop of this piece of furniture perfectly matches the floor. The table depicts a compass that points to different cardinal directions: south and north. The designer refused to use chairs in the dining area on principle. I immediately decided that armchairs would be located here. I wanted to create coziness - so that you could not only have lunch, but also watch TV, read a book, relax. I chose the armchairs for a long time and eventually settled on Meridiani. They are large and very comfortable. After all, the kitchen was supposed to be the second place for the family to gather after the living room. Elena Andreeva Also in the dining area, by the window, there is a wonderful "drum" table. This is a real relaxation zone and the favorite place of the hostess of the house. Here she spends her time looking at the park through a large window, here ideas for new creative projects come. This place, according to the designer, appeared by chance, but with its help it was possible to fill the void with warmth and light.The author of the project is Elena AndreevaThe author of the project is Elena AndreevaThe author of the project is Elena AndreevaThe author of the project is Elena AndreevaAuthor of the project: Elena Andreeva Kitchen areaThe kitchen is done in black, in contrast to the white living room. Despite the restrained classical style, it looks unusual - primarily because of its atypical color for kitchen furniture and for the Russian mentality.The author of the project is Elena AndreevaProject author - Elena Andreeva Main bedroomThis space is decorated in light colors. Almost all the furniture for this room was bought at Meridiani. Unlike the living room, which is restrained in its color scheme, bright orange is used as an accent here. The bedroom is quite laconic - a bed, a wardrobe, bedside tables, poufs.The author of the project is Elena AndreevaThe author of the project is Elena AndreevaThe author of the project is Elena Andreeva Bathroom No. 1The black theme continued in the bathroom. The designer used plumbing fixtures from the Rifra factory - according to the designer, the products of this brand have the optimal combination of cost and aesthetics. The black lacquered furniture in this space looks very stylish and elegant. The floor tiles have a rust effect, which gives this interior a touch of originality.The author of the project is Elena Andreeva Bedroomteenage girls This is the brightest room in the apartment, decorated in fuchsia. It contains modern furniture, fashionable wardrobe systems and a "newspaper" closet. And it seems that the bed has no legs at all! The fact is that the room had a critical distance for passage, and so that the bed would not seem like an obstacle, the designer decided to use this weightless piece of furniture with legs made of transparent plexiglass. This bedroom was decorated with wallpaper that looks like old wooden boards - they were chosen by Alena, the owner of the room. I really like the technique when glossy perfect furniture is in the same space with completely, it would seem, unsightly objects. This creates a special balance. With such a combination, each thing becomes valuable.

The brutal effect is brought by the wallpaper, which is so similar to a worn map. The console table is attached to the wall and is an extension of the library - it was made to order. This bedroom has the same armchair as the one in the dining room. The boy is closed, so for Sasha's room, a room was chosen where the window is much smaller than in the girl's room. She, on the contrary, loves to enjoy the view from her bedroom window.

But the most amazing thing about this space is the stunning multi-colored floor. There is simply no other like it. I made a color layout with the designers. All the floor parts were numbered so that there were no repetitions and the distribution of each color was moderate, without random spots. Elena AndreevaThe author of the project is Elena Andreeva CorridorThe corridor runs through the living room. It connects the public and private areas. Even here, stylish objects “live” — a bas-relief, hanging lamps on chains, a huge “French” mirror in a wooden frame. In addition, this room is located. In all my projects, I really like to hide load-bearing structures. I never put cabinets as such. I like to use built-in storage systems in interiors so that they are an extension of the walls and ceilings. Then the space does not look cluttered.
