Today we saw a white, slightlyindustrial, but overall quite elegant interior. This apartment is located in New York and is completely imbued with its loft atmosphere. The interior of this apartment was created by architects from the design studio The New Design Project. They love to experiment with textures, various materials, mixing styles and filling the space with extraordinary lightness and notes of industrial design. This 2-room apartment cannot boast of an excess of square meters, and the architects solved this problem with the help of color. They took white and light shades of gray as a basis. The neutral background is diluted with the warmth of the parquet board and the texture of the brickwork. And the decorative wall element on a wooden frame gives the interior originality.
The advantage of the space was the 2 windows, whichlet light into both parts of the living room, illuminating it well during the day. In the evening and at night, other light sources work in the apartment: a lamp with an elegant and eye-catching lampshade on the nightstand near the sofa, a metal ceiling chandelier, incandescent lamps on wires above the bar counter and unusual hanging sconces above the bed in the bedroom. Rebellion and calm merged in a single impulse, forming this eclectic interior. Rough brickwork is softened by the elegance of the fireplace. Together they create a warm ensemble, which in the evening is “complemented” by the crackling of coals. Our opinion In small apartments, try to unload the space as much as possible. Do not put bulky furniture. Give preference to neat decor. Refuse large prints on the wallpaper and dark walls, which can visually reduce your “baby”.
A wooden frame was placed on one of the wallswith black graphic inscriptions as a reminder of the freedom-loving nature of New York. You can easily make such a decorative item with your own hands. Find a suitable baguette and a wooden board (a slate board can also do the job), write kind words and decorate the wall with your wishes. It will be pleasant not only for you, but also for your guests. Here's what else is noteworthy: some of the furniture here is made from recycled materials. For example, old cable spools serve as poufs, on which soft round pillows lie. And the coffee table is a rusty tray on 2 legs, which rests on a wooden box. Bold and stylish!
To support the spirit of freedom, the dining room and the kitchencombined with the living room. The element that divides the space is the bar counter, which also serves as a dining area. Near it are chairs assembled "piece by piece". Their frames are made of plumbing pipes, and the seats are made of metal lids. The walls of the kitchen differ in tone (towards a gray shade) from the walls of the living room. On the floor there are large tiles with monochrome prints, on the walls there are white tiles stylized as brick. The stove and oven are made of steel. Its cold shine echoes the chrome fittings. The wooden countertop harmoniously complements the space, bringing notes of warmth and coziness to it. Our opinion Take note that the fewer items are on the countertop, the more spacious the kitchen visually seems. White color and glossy, as well as metal surfaces give a sense of space.
In the bedroom everything is simple and concise:bed, natural textiles, a shelf above the bed, hand-made from old things (from a wooden board and a belt). The walls here are painted in a noble ash shade. It is not oppressive, moderately refreshing and sets you up for a pleasant rest. The room was decorated with just a few black and white photographs in monochrome frames, which look very impressive against a neutral gray background. Our opinion The problem of small space is the most common companion of Khrushchev-era apartments. Ideal shades for such bedrooms are pastel, white, gray. The decor is minimal, storage systems are compact. Mirrors can be helpful. Choose compact models (for example, round ones, as in the case of this room): they will be an excellent decor and will visually help make the room larger.
The small bathroom was not suitable for the architectsobstacle. They solved the problem of limited square footage simply – they made it in a pristine white color. Medium-sized tiles were used as the main finishing material. The industrial theme is traced even in this small room: a metal lamp adorns the mirror, and mesh shelves for towels are fixed to the wall.
