This house has 2 authors, many details,collected from all over the world, and a very happy fate. Having passed into the hands of designer Natalia Mitrakova, the ascetic interior was completely transformed and became truly loved by the new owners. This interior changed its author at the finishing stage, which, undoubtedly, only benefited it. Designer Natalia Mitrakova created a bright, unusual space where it is simply impossible to get bored. Natalia Mitrakova, designer: “I am a graduate of the Modern School of Design and have been inspired to create interiors of houses and apartments for over 5 years. How do I do it? First, I listen to clients’ stories about their favorite things, memorable places and impressions from travel, family habits, dreams and fantasies. Together we leaf through interior books and magazines, discuss photos we like and share our thoughts and suggestions about the future project. Then I dive headlong into its creation, into architecture, proportions, colors, textures, furniture, textiles, decorative details. By sharing my experience and knowledge of interior design and decoration with clients, I give them the opportunity to navigate and feel comfortable in the sea of choice and options. My goal is to free clients from fear and doubt in making the right decision, to captivate them with the design process, as well as decorating their own space."
Color scheme
The color scheme of this interior is neutral, fromdark gray to almost white. The main ceiling lighting was selected before Natalia arrived and is designed in a minimalist style. With the arrival of a new designer, it became clear that the interior conceived by the previous author of the project was quite ascetic, and the customers lacked coziness, details and fullness of the space. Therefore, Natalia Mitrakova decided to add expressive ceiling lamps made of neutral-colored textiles to the interior. For example, the Fandango chandelier made of muslin stretched on wire, similar to a ballerina's tutu. The designer also added a large number of classic-shaped table lamps.
Made to order
The under-stairs space, home cinema library and TV stand with doors covered in laurel root veneer were custom-made.
Living room
The sofa in the living room is Flexform, the armchair and coffee table were brought from Europe, everything else (all the decor, side tables and lamps) is from the American company Palecek.
Bedrooms
In the master bedroom, the bed is by Flou, the bedside and side tables and armchairs are by Palecek. In the son's bedroom, the bed with storage is also by Flou, and the funny ottomans made of tree bark are by Palecek.
Natalia Mitrakova, designer:"Working on this interior, I received only positive emotions. The clients are positive and open people, with a great sense of humor, sharing and supporting my love for everything unusual. In addition, as it turned out, they are ready to patiently wait for the arrival of things from the most remote corners of the globe (for example, a painting by Canadian artist Dmitry Gretsky, which took a long time to get to us, now hanging above the sofa in the living room, as well as lithographs by famous artists from Europe, North and South America)."
Wallpaper, paint, textiles
The textiles for this interior were chosen exclusively natural. Mainly it is flax from the factories Lizzo, Chivasso, Kravet.
Floors, doors
The floors and doors were chosen before Natalia arrived, but their classic design and bright turquoise color allowed for classic furniture and bright, cheerful decor items to be brought into the interior.
