Customers' dreams

The apartment is intended for rent, butIt is not excluded that the apartment can be used for personal purposes in the future. Therefore, the layout is designed for a family with two school-age children. The style request is to create a restrained classic interior in neutral tones with moderate decor.

Layout features

The apartment had an open layout.It was necessary to develop zoning and a partition installation scheme in such a way as to separate private areas, which include a bedroom, an adjoining wardrobe, a nursery and a main bathroom, from common areas, such as a kitchen, living room, hallway, library (which can also serve as a guest area). It was also necessary to provide storage space for various things, for which a wardrobe, a storage room, and a built-in closet in the hallway were allocated. All the tasks set during the development of the layout and visualization of the interior were successfully solved, the plans were approved by the customer. Now the project is in the initial stage of implementation.

Color scheme

The customer wanted an interior done in neutral tones. Based on this, we opted for shades of beige and gray, diluting them with accents using textiles and lamps.

Light

The lighting is designed according to a traditional scheme.— each room has a main source of overhead light (a chandelier, and in the living room also a light cornice) and local lighting in the form of sconces and table lamps.

Made to order

Cabinets for the hallway and dressing room, a bathroom cabinet, and a risalit for the living room will be made to order - a TV, video equipment and an artificial fireplace will be built into it.

Bedrooms

Furniture for the adult and children's bedrooms was selected fromassortment of the Piermaria factory. An important element of the bedroom decoration is a mirror wall, necessary to visually enlarge and make lighter a small room.

Living room and study

For the living room and study, we selected furniture and lighting of the mid-price category from the French brand Mis en Demeure - tables, chairs, library, and from the Italian factory Asnaghi - sofas, armchairs.

Kitchen

The Italian kitchen "Baltimore" from the Scavolini factory was chosen. Its production period is 3 months. On the floor - Patchwork tiles from the Cicogres factory.

Bathrooms

The tiles were selected from the range available inavailability. In the large bathroom — tiles from the Dax collection by Saloni Ceramica (shop "Ceramics for you"), in the small — Provenza (Rim.ru). Plumbing and faucets — Villeroy & Boch, Burlington, Hansgrohe.

Wallpaper, paint, textiles

  • We plan to order textiles, as well as furniture, from Fifth Avenue Home Fabric Atelier.
  • They decided not to use wallpaper, opting for paint so that the walls would be easier to update if necessary.
  • Complex smoky shades were chosen from Benjamin Moore.
  • The necessary element of finishing the classic interior is stucco molding, in our case - from Orac, we plan to order in "Empire-decor".

Floors and doors

Doors made of natural ash veneer were found inclassic collection from the Sofia factory, floors - from the Quick-Step collections. The skirting board is high, in the color of the doors, to emphasize the classic character of the interior.

Advice for Roomble readers

  • Finishing of an apartment that is rented out,should be planned so that it is easy to update, repair, change color accents and decor. Therefore, it is better to give preference to paint, rather than wallpaper, decorative plaster or wall panels. When choosing other finishing materials and furniture, you should also pay special attention to their wear resistance and ease of maintenance, since we do not know in advance how carefully the interior will be used.
  • It is necessary to find a reasonable balance between price andquality, so that both the interior looks solid, in accordance with the quality level of the property itself, and the costs are within the budget set by the customer. In principle, this is required when carrying out any project, but in the case of an apartment for rent, this issue is especially tough. When doing an interior not for our own use, we are less inclined to invest in any "delights" and additional amenities, and are also not happy to adjust the budget upward, even if this becomes necessary.
  • It makes sense to use neutral tones.They will serve as a good background for textiles and decor that can be placed in the apartment by both the owner and the tenant. The budget for such a project will most likely not allow much investment in decor, so the emphasis should be on affordable textiles and lighting, as well as mirrors, inexpensive paintings, photos or reproductions.
