How well-known footballers live: apartment for a family in Lyubertsy

From classic to loft:The interior of this three-room apartment has room for a variety of styles. The author of the project, the head of the YES-designs studio, Katya Stepanova, talks about how to persuade customers to make bold decisions and why any layout can be made even more convenient. The famous Russian football player and his family turned to Katya Stepanova, the head of the YES-designs design studio, with a request to decorate the apartment in a classic style. In the process, the designer managed to persuade the customers to take a more creative approach, and the result was a very cozy, warm and eclectic interior with some classic elements. We will tell you how the work on the project went in this article. Ekaterina Stepanova, designer Founder and head of her own studio YD. She dreamed of becoming a designer since she was 12 years old and began decorating interiors at 20. She received her first education - in the specialty "state and municipal administration" - "for parents", then came the turn of courses, professional education and training in Milan, in the segment of public interiors. Ekaterina herself says the following about her work: “I do interior design for people like me: young, modern, ambitious.” www.yes-designs.ru Layout The original layout of the apartment was already quite convenient: through lighting on two sides, spacious rooms of regular shape and the absence of strange corners that are often found in new houses. However, it also needed some competent revision: with the current layout, the living room was “composed” of two combined rooms, and the apartment was essentially a two-room apartment. The large hall also raised questions: of course, it created the proper feeling of splendor, but at the same time it was completely ill-conceived in practical terms. Due to the abundance of passages in the hallway, there was not a single wall along which one could place a wardrobe. A lot of useful space was also lost in the passages between the bedrooms and bathrooms. Taking into account the wishes of the customers, the designerthought out the new layout in such a way that the result was a full-fledged apartment with three bedrooms and a combined bathroom. Also, in addition to the tasks set by the owners, the new layout allowed us to achieve the following goals:

A dressing room for parents was organized;
In the hallway there is a space for the cupboard;
A small bathroom is increased due to the unnecessary area of the hall.

Stylistics At the first meeting, customersclearly outlined their stylistic preferences: the interior should be classic. All the references presented were also very “lush”, but in a new modern house, traditional classics would not be entirely appropriate. That is why Ekaterina decided to take a risk and offered the owners a “lighter” version of the classic style: without unnecessary pomp, with white walls and eclectic elements.Hall The main hall is decorated in a calm andrestrained gray palette with an accent on the marble floor. To prevent the large wardrobe from "crushing", it was made light, and tassels of fringe on the handles were added as decorative elements. There was also room for an additional cozy area, consisting of a console with a table lamp and a bright mirror. The designer also managed to fit into the interior a detail dear to the customers - an antique table clock. Living-dining room Interior of public areais built on contrasts: in the living room, these are completely white walls and dark chocolate parquet laid out in a herringbone pattern, in the light dining area, against the background of curtains the color of coffee with milk. For this area, Ekaterina specially selected “delicious” colors that would contribute to a pleasant meal with the family. The customers already had soft olive-colored leather furniture, so the design of the recreation area was built primarily around it. Kitchen The kitchen interior turned out elegant,restrained and as close as possible to the traditional classical style. For the countertop, the designer chose light marble, which echoes the flooring in the hall, and the olive apron repeats the color of the furniture in the living room. In addition to the work surface, a small bar counter for morning coffee and quick snacks also appeared in the kitchen area. Master Bedroom Color Scheme of the Master BedroomThe bedroom turned out to be quite complex. There is white, brown, beige, as well as a whole range of fashionable colors: from mint to turquoise. The abundance of blue accents is no coincidence: this color sets the mood for rest and promotes sleep, so Ekaterina often uses it in the design of bedrooms. with a geometric print, just like the fresco above the headboard, makes the interior brighter and fresher. Son's room Room for an already grown-up sonturned out brutal, dynamic and the least classical of all. Here the designer deliberately played on the contrast of classical architectural elements - cornices, moldings on the walls, herringbone parquet - and brutal loft furniture. An interesting element was the gray felt work chair, and the accent wall behind the headboard was stylized as graffiti using wallpaper. Nursery for a girl Nursery for a daughterEkaterina decorated the room in airy marshmallow tones, since the clients wanted a pink room. To avoid banal associations, the designer chose candy shades and diluted them with white furniture. Thanks to this, the room does not look “cloying”, but very fresh and light. And the fresco with a mysterious forest and deer helps the child to be transported to a world of fantasy. Bathroom As already mentioned,The initially small bathroom was enlarged at the expense of the corridor area. The result was a rather spacious bathroom with a full bath, shower cabin and storage space. Ekaterina designed the bathroom in contrast with the deep plum color and . Ekaterina Stepanova, designer:— When starting work on a project, I am always inspired first of all by the personality of the people who come to me, and I try to offer them an interior that is a little bolder than they imagined, as if “for growth”. This gives the owners the opportunity to live in an environment that will not only take a long time to get tired of, but will also develop their taste, which is very important. In this interior, the following were used: Hall:
