The interior of the week: monochrome romance in the New Riga

Many people mistakenly think that monochrome is boring.But designer Lena Inashvili loves creating interiors in this color scheme, thereby proving that monochrome design can be very interesting. Today we would like to introduce you to one of the new works of designer Lena Inashvili. As you know, she loves to experiment with monotone shades, creating interiors that seem to have been transferred from a retro photo. But at the same time, despite their monochrome, they are filled with life, bright accents and are a reflection of the customer's character. Lena Inashvili Educated at Complutense University (Madrid) and the Academic School of Design (Moscow). Head of her own design studio Art At Home. "I like to create interiors that do not look like a new building: a little bit of antiquity, a drop of modernity and everything mixed up. I always use decorative plasters, which give the house an incredible sense of coziness. The main thing is "modest, but festive and mysterious".

Customers' dreams

This townhouse is located on the lake shore, inone of the most prestigious areas of Moscow - on the Novorizhskoye direction. The windows offer a magnificent picturesque view that encourages peace. An elegant successful woman lives here, who had previously managed to get acquainted with the works of Lena Inashvili. The owner of the house is attracted to monochrome interiors, she wanted to see her house exactly like this. Lena Inashvili, designer - The customer wanted to make green an accent color, but in the process of work her mood changed - from ordinary to romantic. Thanks to this, I was able to introduce a ringing pink color into the interior, which I had long dreamed of. It gave the house lightness, femininity and elegance.

Layout features

The layout was done from scratch, taking into account all the wishes of the customer. During the planning process, three bedrooms, a living room-dining room, a kitchen and three bathrooms appeared in the house.

Color scheme

Initially, the customer wanted to arrange everything inmarsh-green range. But the light, gentle and pleasant atmosphere in the house was formed largely due to the light sand shade, which was taken as a basis. The romantic atmosphere was accentuated by the pastel pink upholstery of the chairs in the dining area and one of the sofas in the living room. Pink is also found in the decor and textiles.

Play of light

The lighting solution was selected in accordance withneoclassical style. Large chandeliers with pendants act as the main lighting fixtures. Floor and table lamps are placed in the activity zones. In the dining room, you can see wall sconces made in the manner of candlesticks. They are good to use when you want to create an intimate atmosphere. But in the living room there is one small trick that gives a special lightness to the interior - lighting hidden under the ceiling. Our opinion: - In the bedroom, Lena used a very interesting technique - to expand the space, she used large mirrors, and placed pendant lamps near them. Thus, the mirrors reflect the light emanating from them, thereby filling the room with additional warmth.

Materials and finishing

Modular parquet was chosen for the floor finishing.And it was not a coincidence that this choice was made. The fact is that the owner of the house and the designer agreed that the house should not look brand new. That is why the project included light, worn decorative wall coverings, velvet curtains and patinated ceiling cornices. Lena Inashvili, designer — This house has large, spacious rooms that are not overcrowded with furniture. Everything in moderation: a little bit of classics, something modern, a little decorative plaster and a luxurious, expensive floor. How did it turn out? It’s up to you to judge.Photos courtesy of Lena Inashvili
