Would you like to make your apartment bright?vintage interior, but concrete walls and unfinished ceilings prevent you from bringing your idea to life? Don't worry — the designers at Izumoff studio have come up with a great solution to the problem. Designing a small apartment with virtually no finishing is no easy task. But Kirill Shabanov and his team have done a great job. The project was based on interior parameters such as simplicity, plenty of light, maximum functionality of all areas, and speed of completing the task. Kirill Shabanov, head of Izumoff studio, curator of izumoff.com projects This is not the first such complex project for Kirill's team. The studio specializes in designing unique, ultra-fashionable turnkey interiors. Izumoff designers are not focused on the flow. According to Kirill, individual work gives more opportunities for developing a truly interesting design. In this project, the main focus was not even the fashionable loft format, vintage studio, or original lamps — all the charm of the apartment was concentrated on the walls and ceiling. They are not finished, but simply painted in creamy white. This interior solution allowed to visually increase the area of a small apartment to the size of a full-fledged studio with modern floor-to-ceiling windows. The vintage style fits perfectly into the overall concept of a place filled with light and comfort.
Hallway
Upon entering the apartment, guests are greeted by comfortable wooden cabinets and mannequins.
Mirrors, mannequins, white color, concreteThe ceiling, brick wall and small but very bright, telling accents in the form of handles on a wooden cabinet or a wicker nightstand make the interior of the hallway simple, but visually very stylish.
Living room
Among the design styles that exist todayvintage interior has the largest stock of ideas for implementation. With its help, any antique (or aged) object can be incorporated into the interior of a house or apartment, thereby giving the room an atmosphere of coziness, expensive, status habitability with a history of more than a dozen years. It is important for this style to work with things or objects of a bright, expressive "character". There are enough such objects in the project of the Izumoff design studio.
Note the stylized chandeliercandlesticks, chest-shaped tables made of boxes painted white, a floor lamp made of two branches with a white lampshade. These objects "make" the entire living room. They harmonize perfectly with the unpainted concrete wall and modern plasma. The interior of the living room is maintained in strict tones, there is not a single unnecessary or disharmony thing in it.
The living room is given additional charm byfireplace with real wood. It is an important part of the interior picture, especially in the context of timeless vintage. Because the interior of this apartment really does not have a clear time frame. It is impossible to say which decade or century is embodied in the area of the project. And this is good. The reference to time limits the interior toolkit. To get a freer solution, you just need to blur the boundaries a little.
Kitchen and dining area
The kitchen and dining area in the apartment are combined.This turned out to be a more correct solution in terms of zoning a small living space. In the kitchen we see a home brazier equipped with an excellent hood, large work surfaces of tables and very conveniently located cabinets for household utensils.
The kitchen work area is separated from the dining roomtransparent glass wall. The built-in oven and refrigerator are stylized as a concrete wall and have a graphite-gray color. A large window balances the light and dark shades, making the kitchen and dining area more interesting in terms of lighting. A very unusual accent is the floor decorated with grass. A special container is built into it, in which real grass grows.
Bathroom
The bathroom in the house is small but cozy, with convenient cabinets, invisible pendant lamps (without a lampshade) and marble tiles.
The doors of the cabinets are made to look like wooddoors with a beautiful monogram pattern. Something between the oriental style and art deco. The door to the bathroom goes from the central studio (kitchen, dining area, living room). Quite convenient. Especially if there are little ones in the house. Everything is at hand and very fast.
Bedroom
The Izumoff team's bedroom turned out soft,gentle, charming and even romantic. The interior of the room is dominated by white, peach, light gray-blue, light purple colors. The room is filled with bright and original accessories in the form of a bird cage, a miniature mannequin for jewelry, crystal perfume bottles, small vases and candles in candlesticks. Despite this, the room does not seem overloaded. Everything is in its place and nothing hurts the eye.
Note the large carved mirrorwooden frame. Most likely it was made to order and has no historical value, but it looks very attractive. The large window paired with this mirror and low bedside tables make the room look like the boudoir of a Parisian courtesan or a London opera diva. The soft light of the fabric lamp on the ceiling creates a pleasant twilight filled with bliss and peace.
Note the suspended ceilings andbuilt-in cabinets. Most likely, the apartment looks so cozy because all the unnecessary things are on shelves and cabinets. Raising everything up was a great stylistic and functional solution. This solution provided an opportunity to open up the space and make it visually larger.
As you have already seen, a small apartment withunfinished concrete walls, a minimum of furniture and lots of vintage accessories - it's possible. And without much effort. You need white paint, imagination and furniture from flea markets. Designers from the Izumoff team gave some advice on how to properly decorate and zone a small apartment with concrete walls.
