How to make a space bright but not ostentatious,while maintaining a reasonable balance of beauty and comfort? Let's look at the example of a house in which the designer used several unusual, but very effective techniques. We have already talked about . And this house with an area of 73 square meters is located in the village of Laikovo, Odintsovo district, Moscow region. Its owner decided to transform the living room and kitchen area, turning to designer Natalia Volkova for help. Why her? The owner of the house is a creative person, and she found Natalia's ideas close to her, who in her work prefers to focus on the principles of Japanese aesthetics, namely: free space, expressing an idea with a few strokes, the absence of excess and fuss, and the depth of the concept. The conceptual solution for the transformations in this house came immediately. Natalia proposed several basic "guidelines": brightness, sophistication, accents in the Art Nouveau style, setting a solemn tone, organic and natural lines, and a preference for natural materials. Natalia Volkova, designer Graduated from the Details interior design school. Designs interiors for private and public spaces. Also creates designer decorative items. artcrafts.ru Natalia believes that it is the beauty and sophistication of the Art Nouveau style that inspires many of her colleagues with graceful architectural solutions and subtle color combinations. When developing the project, it was decided to introduce elements of this style to make the space being furnished more festive and bright. The main role in the color scheme is played by fuchsia, one of the customer's favorite colors. Several pillows on the sofa match the shade of the orchid, which supports the color accent. This flower looks so appropriate and gentle against the gray background of the wall that the entire project was named in its honor - Orchid.The stylistic solution is emphasized by forged elementselements and stained glass windows made in the so-called "Tiffany technique". Geometric elements make the interior airy, and the decor with Japanese motifs echoes the Art Nouveau motif in form and shades.Judging by the customer's wishes, she hassubtle artistic taste. It is logical to assume that her sphere of activity may be connected with creativity, for example, with teaching in an art educational institution or directly with participation in the creation of an intellectual product or art objects. A busy working day in a noisy city environment requires relaxation and rest in the evenings or on weekends in the countryside solitude and silence. But a creative nature craves beauty around itself at any time of the day. Hence such an interior, where you want to dream, create, communicate with loved ones. And for guests here everything is thought out to the smallest detail.The main accent in the living room is the semicircular fireplace. Mirror mosaic was used in its decoration, which sets a festive tone for the entire space.The living room is connected to the kitchen, and this space was decided to be done in warm olive tones, which harmoniously combine with the fuchsia color, not allowing it to dominate too much. Olive-toned wall decoration and textiles are balanced with fuchsia elements. The convex and smooth textile details also echo in a balanced way.To connect the modern kitchen furniture with the dining area, the designer used green glass mosaic inserts in the backsplash and bar counter.The presence of striking details in moderate quantities immediately draws attention to this area of space, but remains within the bounds of good taste.The highlight of the dining room was the custom-madea lamp above the dining table, with onyx beads, reminiscent of an exotic flower cup. Very Japanese, stylish, and at the same time fits wonderfully into the dynamics of a country house.
