Large kitchen, falshkemn, boudoir: a French apartment in Moscow

Can a classic interior be bright, lightand relevant? How to organically combine elegant shapes and bold colors? We study the issue using the example of the interior of a Moscow three-room apartment from the designer Anastasia Muravyova We are used to thinking that the classic is something ceremonial, prim, obliging. An abundance of gold and brocade, massive furniture, heavy floor-to-ceiling curtains ... But is this always the case? Of course not. To get rid of such stereotypes, just look at the project of this three-room apartment in Moscow. And how this classic interior, full of bright colors, air and Parisian spirit, was born, tells the designer Anastasia Muravyova, with whose works we have already introduced you. Anastasia Muravyova, designer-decorator Graduate of the Faculty of Economics, Moscow State University. Lomonosov and the Higher School of Environmental Design of the Moscow Architectural Institute. Received an MBA from the University of Bristol. Member of the Creative Union of Artists of Russia. He deals primarily with private interiors and painting, and also has developments in the field of public design. He is fond of contemporary art and photography. In his work, he pays special attention to details and unique objects. The creative mission is to create a stylish, comfortable and harmonious living space that fully meets the tastes and budget of the customer. aminteriordesign.ru Wishes and layout The apartment is located in a new building and has a free layout. Designed to accommodate a family of three: spouses and their son, a schoolboy. The kitchen and living room areas are combined, there is a bedroom and. Due to the arrangement of windows and load-bearing walls, the fourth room, very small in area, but with two windows, loomed in the plan. This had to be used, and Anastasia offered to take her under an office or dressing room. The customers settled on the second option, and as a result, a kind of boudoir for the hostess turned out in the master bedroom. Anastasia Muravyova, decorator: - Customers contacted me even before the house was commissioned. They wanted to get the concept of the interior in advance, think over everything without haste, and then quickly proceed with the repairs as soon as the opportunity arises. Therefore, I started working on the project with planning and visualization, based on the documents received from the developer, and made more detailed working drawings as the next stage, since I managed to make accurate measurements of the object later. Features of the style The project is made in the classicstyle. The customers and the designer came to a common opinion that, firstly, it should be light, and secondly, not overloaded with details. At the same time, Anastasia noted that they like interiors, which are characterized by a slight splendor, which can sometimes be found in apartments with history. In this regard, many stucco elements, mirrors, herringbone parquet flooring and chandeliers with crystal pendants were used in the project. Anastasia proposed to make the height of the doorways slightly higher than the standard - 2.3 m with a ceiling height of 3 m, and also to equip the doors with decorative upper cornices. Anastasia Muravyova, decorator:- For myself, I called it “the style of a Parisian apartment” and was inspired by the corresponding interiors, which can be easily found in the most authoritative glossy magazines. Living room In the living room and in the hall, it was decided to make white walls - in combination with stucco molding, this immediately makes the interior elegant and at the same time does not overload the space. Bright accents have found their rightful place against a neutral light background: chairs in the dining area and a chaise longue by the window. In the center of the living room composition is a decorative fireplace. The bedroom It was decided to keep the bedroom in quietlight colors. As the main accent, they chose behind the headboard, on which, like a pencil, were drawn classic flowerpots with flowers. Anastasia found them at Designers Guild, as well as a companion fabric for a dressing room. Children's Customers asked the designer to makea room in traditional blue colors for boys, but Anastasia decided to invite them to move away from such a solution and developed two options for visualizing the nursery: in the desired blue and orange-green tones. At the same time, possible variations in the layout of this room were illustrated. Anastasia Muravyova, decorator:- I always recommend making a nursery for a primary school student a little "for growth", because children grow up very quickly, and only during the implementation of the project will the child move at least to the next grade. It is also important that the nursery in the classic interior does not get out of the general context, but at the same time be stylish and fresh. Bathroom In the bathroom, it was decided to adhere to a more laconic design and use the maximum of natural colors and textures. By the way, this technique is used quite often: in a classic house or apartment, the bathroom is sometimes more restrained in style and color, and typical classic elements are given to other rooms. Anastasia Muravyova, decorator:- I was inspired by the tile from the Beyond collection from the Aparici factory, imitating onyx slices, and I discovered it for myself thanks to the Roomble article! Timing and materials At the moment, the process has not yet entered the implementation stage, but it is assumed that such a facility will take about 4-6 months, depending on the project financing schedule and the delivery of custom items. Anastasia Muravyova, decorator: - Perhaps in the course of finishing work and furnishing the interior some amendments to the proposed concept will appear, but already at the stage of visualization I try to include quite specific items of certain brands in the project. In this project, I used furniture, lights and mirrors from brands such as Mis en Demeure, Riva, Baga, Marie’s Corner and La Murrina, Teuco plumbing fixtures and faucets, etc. Thus, the process of completing the interior will be quite fast and well planned.
