How will look the same apartment in three different styles: an illustrative example

Have you ever wondered how it could beWhat will your apartment look like in the minimalist style? Or futuristic? Or eco? Interior designer Stepan Bugaev decided to use his imagination and design an apartment of the same type in three different styles. Find out right now what he came up with Interior designer Stepan Bugaev developed three unique design projects in the minimalist, eco, and futuristic styles for the “Faces” architectural project of Capital Group — all for one type of apartment. Stepan Bugaev, interior designer Graduated from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology with a master’s degree in physics and from the Higher School of Economics with a master’s degree in business informatics. He has his own design studio, and over 500 design projects have been implemented under his leadership. He is among the top 100 best designers, according to the leading interior design publication AD. He is a lecturer at the HSE School of Design and teaches his own course, “Interior Design. Rules for Creating a Successful Project.” He gives open lectures on interior design and writes articles for leading interior design magazines and portals. — Each of the styles was chosen for a reason. The modern façade of the entire residential building “Faces” set the style of the first design project — minimalism. The eco style was inspired by the infrastructure of the house — walking and recreation areas, children’s and sports grounds. Innovative technologies of the “house of the future” defined the third style — futurism. Minimalism The philosophy of minimalism is awareness and moderation in everything. The interior in this style assumes only truly necessary items. The minimalist style is characterized by simplicity of forms, absence of complex textures, monochromatic colors and matte surfaces. This design project will suit practical people who value functional and ergonomic interiors.The canons of minimalism style suggestmonochrome palette, but do not exclude neutral pastel shades. Given the layout of this apartment, we decided to combine the living room area with the kitchen. By painting one of the walls in a neutral light yellow shade, and also using decorative plaster, we refreshed the interior and at the same time made a bright accent in the kitchen-living room. We decided to visually separate the dining area from the living room with the help of different floor coverings.We have chosen furniture that is distinguished by its high qualityfunctionality. The upholstery of the upholstered furniture in the living room is made of a single-color fabric. By the way, one of the features of the minimalist style is low furniture, so we placed a low sofa in the living room. The furniture in the entire apartment is of regular geometric shapes without any additional elements. Furniture and materials:

Eco Ecostyle is a well-thought-out designmaterials, light and textiles interior, which gives preference to natural materials and natural motifs. In the conditions of big cities and fast pace of life, people experience a completely natural desire to be closer to nature. This style implies not onlythe use of environmentally friendly materials, but also their recycling and reuse, so it is ideal for those who care about the environment. Eco-style finishing is natural materials: solid wood, stone, imitation of natural textures for flooring; paint, stone or its imitation for walls. As for the layout of the apartment, in thisIn the design project, we again combined the kitchen area with the living room to create more space for family relaxation, and drew the line between them using contrasting floor coverings.All materials, furniture and decor are designed in colours typical of eco-style: brown (wood colour) and all its range, green and neutral white.

Futurism We developed this design projectespecially for those who are not afraid to use new non-standard objects to solve everyday problems. As in the other two projects, we combined the kitchen with the living room and drew a visual boundary using different types of flooring.A distinctive feature of futurism isuse of modern materials - metal, glass, polyurethane, plastic, aluminum. Laminate, tiles or self-leveling floors are usually used as floor coverings, and the walls are painted or decorated with plastic panels. Futurism also does not tolerate wallpaper. Futuristic interiors use all the most advanced lighting technologies: LED and string lights, fluorescent and halogen lamps. The color scheme of futurism is restrained:white, gray, beige, silver. Bright colors are allowed, but we decided to bet on restrained lilac and gray-blue, which echo the shade of chrome and metal typical of futurism. In the interior, we used matte, glossy, reflective materials. With their help, it seemed that the interior uses a wide palette of shades of one color scheme. Usually, little attention is paid to the decor in such an interior and the main element is the equipment in the apartment, but in this project we created many opportunities to fantasize about the theme of decoration.
