Do you think that the Provence style in the interior is not suitable?enough laconicism, and Scandinavian - warmth? Especially for you - an example of an interior that harmoniously combines the advantages of very different ideas in design. The signature style of designers from the London bureau Helen Green Design is luxury that is easy to live in. Creative Director of the company Natalia Miyar says that a room should be equally comfortable in jeans and in an evening dress. What is the secret of such an interior? In the skillful combination of classics and modern ideas, glamor and naturalness, exquisite materials and simple ones. This is exactly how this cute and elegant country house in Sussex is designed and decorated. Natalia Miyar, Creative Director of the bureau Helen Green Design Natalia has been heading the company since 2012, now she has 25 designers under her command, and her work includes international projects in Germany and Australia and her own line of furniture and wallpaper. Her style is based on a love of spectacular proportions, multi-layered decor and attention to detail. Her favorite place in the house is the sofa. helengreendesign.com Calm Living Room in Blue and White This room feels very spacious. The trick is not only in the use of white paint and light textiles - the proportions are also calculated skillfully. The open shelving unit with shelves from floor to ceiling adds height to the walls, and the curtain rod is positioned high for the window.
The front door opens directly into the living room,therefore, there is nothing superfluous here. For storing umbrellas and canes, a voluminous milk can, typical of "country" styles, is used, and an old-fashioned capacious Louis Vuitton suitcase is used as a chest of drawers. And the simple wooden floor and mirror frames painted white are a reference to Scandinavian design and its laconicism and naturalness. The decorators did not forget about the importance of living plants for home comfort. Lavender is another reminder of the French and its charm.
Dining room for candlelit dinner UniqueThe natural wood pattern of the exposed ceiling beams and floor goes well with the smooth grey fabric that covers the chairs. But the first thing that catches your eye is, of course, the unusual light fixture – a hanging composition of candles above the table. This lighting will turn any modest dinner into a celebration.
Black and white kitchen with island sink Darkcountertops, light-colored furniture fronts, and metal appliances and lamps—this kitchen would be more suited to a loft than a country house. But cute decor details made the interior cohesive and harmonious: wicker baskets for storing small items, wooden cutting boards, fruits and greens, ceramics on the shelves, and patterned curtains. The sink is positioned so that you can do your business while chatting with guests. There is enough space on the kitchen island to cook a whole feast.
Guest bedroom with layered decorThe bedside table - one for two - is decorated in every way, there is a candle-lamp, a painting, a flower arrangement, and a stack of books. You can't take your eyes off it, as well as the beds - the combination of gray-blue, white and burgundy in the design of the bed linen and bedspreads is intriguing and repeats the elements and tones of the window curtain and posters on the wall. And several pillows of different sizes and colors are not only an aesthetically pleasing detail, but also very cozy.
Light gray bathroom with window White bathroom withThe gray elements – the steel of the plumbing, the pearl color of the curtains and the matte wood of the tabletop – do not seem cold at all. There is a lot of sunlight from the small window – enough for a living plant in the corner to feel great. And the rounded shapes and smooth lines of the furniture, bathtub and large mirror speak of the coziness and relaxation that reigns in the room, just as expressively as the clear outlines and right angles in another interior could speak of serious severity.
Additional room:spectacular veranda The designers treated the design with the same responsibility with which they decorated the interior of the house. The relaxation area is separated from the passage area by a carved screen. The soft sofas, decorated with decorative pillows with different, but harmoniously combined patterns, also look great. And the hard lines of the metal base of the furniture, a large glass candlestick and square wooden flower boxes add the necessary structure and clarity to the overall image. A wonderful example of combining solutions in decor that inspire confidence and comfort at the same time.
