The interior of this apartment began with the Sovietcartoon and a collection of hares, and thanks to the painstaking work of the designer, it has turned into a modern, stylish and, most importantly, cozy space for living. How? We tell in this article The owner of this apartment is a young woman. She works a lot, loves to travel and generally leads an active lifestyle. She imagined the future interior in such a way that she would like to return in the evenings and where she could take a break from the bustle of the city and be alone with herself, wrapped in a blanket with a cup of delicious tea in her hands. For help in implementing her ideas, the owner of the apartment turned to designer Oksana Yakunina, and we show what they did in the end. Oksana Yakunina, designer Graduate of the Academic School of Design in 2004. Since then, she has developed as a professional, first in the team of the design bureau, then in the course of private practice. Cooperation with foreign colleagues - Ralph Johnson, Scott Brown and Studio Bello Dias - allowed us to expand professional skills and create interiors in European style, and the experience of living in London and India, Europe and Asia - to understand that interior design is primarily about expression , inner freedom and freedom of expression. +7 916 6794528, [email protected] General concept The concept of this interiorbegan with hares, which the landlady collects: the analogy appeared by itself, thanks to the old Soviet cartoon "A Bag of Apples". According to the plot, the kind hare went to the forest to pick apples and please his family, but on the way he treated all the forest animals with fruit and returned home with nothing. But as soon as he crossed the threshold, it turned out that grateful friends brought him in return for many other food supplies. Both the designer and the customer unanimously wanted to transfer the inner warmth and atmosphere of this cartoon into the interior. 
Oksana Yakunina, designer:- The owner of the apartment took an active creative part in the design, choice of materials, furniture and decor, so she can be safely called a co-author of the project. The result speaks for itself: the apartment turned out to be cozy and stylish, as if they had been living in it for more than a year. Layout The apartment is located in a house built in 1983: there is not a single load-bearing wall in it, which has opened up unlimited possibilities for redevelopment and even dismantling of all walls. The first step was to get rid of the internal corridors: thanks to the saving of square meters in the apartment, it was possible to equip a laundry room and implement an unusual solution - to mount a bath in the living room. There were no problems with the agreement: the bath is located on the site of the former corridor. The rest of the layout was made traditional for modern interiors: the living room and kitchen were combined into an open space, and private areas (bedroom, wardrobe, office) were located in the back of the apartment. 
Oksana Yakunina, designer: - One of the design features of the house is a load-bearing beam that runs along the ceiling. It was important to hide it or beat it in the interior. To do this, I decided to use the original wooden ceiling structure with lighting, which goes to the walls and zoned space in the dining area. 
Hallway Selected interior conceptis realized already at the entrance to the apartment: in the hallway, the hostess is greeted by a wall painting depicting animals, referring to the plot of the cartoon. The theme is continued by natural materials and decor on the chest of drawers: apples and plants. 
Living room, kitchen and dining room Kitchen, dining room andthe living room is united into a common open space by the original wooden structure of the dining area, which at the same time successfully plays with the load-bearing beam. Also, the kitchen and living area are united by the dining group of the Italian factory Gervasoni - the table and chairs are designed by Paola Navone and represent a modern interpretation of the classic style. 
Oksana Yakunina, designer: - Kitchen furniture we took at the factory L'Ottocento. The choice fell on her for ergonomics and product functionality, as well as for the possibility of performing a non-standard configuration. The customer likes to cook, so for its convenience a special mixer was provided, which allows you to pour water into a pan without using a sink, and a multi-burner plate. 
As in, the overall concept of the interior is supported by the decor: in the dining area, this is the setting of the dining table with linens and napkins made of natural linen and dried fruits. 
In addition to the standard recreation area, in the living roomlocated a large library from L'ottocento, to which the pilasters were additionally made according to the sketch of the designer, stylistically supporting the composition. Upholstered furniture was ordered from the English manufacturer John Sankey, but to get more expressive surfaces, they decided to enclose it with textiles from Rubelli and Marvic. The final chord in the design of the living room was a luxurious chandelier from Jacco Maris with bizarrely curved horns. 
Oksana Yakunina, designer: - For finishing the living room area, we chose wallpaper with a large floral print from the American brand Document. He is also present on the fabric of the companion for the canopy of the bath. By the way, to install it in the living room suggested by the owner herself: it turned out a kind of unusual art object. And in order not to overload the room with ornaments, neutral curtains were chosen for curtains from the Dutch factory Kobe, which combined the color of the entire interior of the living room. 
Bedroom The room in which the bedroom is locatedfunctionally divided into two parts: the sleeping and rest area itself and the dressing room. The partition wall acts as a zoning tool, which at the same time serves as the head of the bed and is an element of decor. The cornice for this structure was brought from Italy, and then a forged bed was made for it according to Oksana's sketch. 
As for the color scheme, the bedroom wasit was decided to decorate in a warmer and more peaceful palette, so American Wallquest wallpaper was used to decorate the walls. Complement the interior of the decorative tiles from Sid Dickens above the dressing table. 
Oksana Yakunina, designer: - One of the wishes of the customer was not to use the ceiling lighting, but to stop at the scenarios of the non-main, muted light. For this, the sconce was placed above the bed and on the walls and added them with a lamp on the dressing table. 
The wardrobe was ordered forthe Italian factory Tessarolo. A well thought-out storage system with drawers and drawers up to the ceiling makes it convenient to place the necessary things, and a noble shade of wood echoes with the finish of the floor. Mirrors from floor to ceiling in the outer sections of the dressing room unite the rooms and visually expand the space. 
Guest room Since the customer has a verya lot of books, it was decided to combine the guest room with the study and organize in it another small library, designed according to the designer's sketches, with a comfortable reading corner. 
Bathroom Bathroom interior wasit was decided to make it cozy and sustained in the style of a lightweight classic, therefore, it was decorated in a contrast of dark brown and white using La Diva and Devon & Devon tiles. And since the style of the sanitary ware of this brand involves the use of classic details, a mirror was made according to Oksana's sketch, decorated with a sconce of the same brand. The bathroom also features decorative wall shelves and an elegant Baga Italian chandelier.
