Remodel a small one-room apartment and create something out of ita full-fledged apartment with two rooms is quite a difficult task. In this case, it is necessary to sacrifice something or find a way to combine several zones. Once again, Anna Elina took on the search for a solution. She graduated from the International School of Design, and then decided to enroll in the Construction University in Moscow, which she did without difficulty. After graduating, she decided to gain experience from professionals and went to work at the studio "OOO SKh-Trading", and three years later founded her own design agency.
Anna in a relatively short time with greatsuccessfully created more than a hundred interiors of residential and public spaces. Her pride is the design of the sports club "City Yoga". The new project, on which she worked well, is 45 square meters. Here the young designer found an excellent compromise option that helped to make the interior comfortable not only for the parents, but also for their child. The designer wanted to create the most comfortable room, where there would be a place for relaxation and spending time together with a five-year-old child.
Layout
An apartment that needed to be redone,initially had an open plan. The main task was to carry out zoning and be sure to separate areas for personal use. Therefore, there was nothing left to do but turn the one-room apartment into a full-fledged two-room apartment.
Customer requests
In addition to the fact that customers asked to create zones,so they also wanted the interior to be in white tones, but in no way boring. The premises had to be equipped with everything necessary for comfortable living, with space for games. The clients also wanted the apartment not to have a single chandelier, so it was necessary to carefully consider the lighting.
Style
The style chosen for this apartment is very similaron constructivism of the early 20th century. This trend emerged in the 20s of the last century and replaced the pretentious art decor. For this small room, it turned out to be the most acceptable and convenient. It is indicated by the niches in the kitchen of an unusual shape, amazing ceiling lamps, clear lines on the wallpaper and the absence of unnecessary details.
Lighting and shades
The decision was made in the color schemeuse a coral shade, which is evident in many details in the kitchen. And for the bedroom, they chose a rich lime tone. The most difficult thing in this project was to create lighting. It was necessary to create two rooms from one, which means that in one of them the only source of light will be lamps. Of course, each of us gives the best to our children, so the parents completely agreed that their bedroom should be in the corner. The child was given the part of the room where there is a window and, therefore, natural light. In the parents' room, in addition to wall sconces, they created additional hidden lighting under the bed. Built-in lamps were installed in the living room and hallway, which form fancy lines. All lighting fixtures were selected from Internet resources.
Choosing furniture
Furniture sketches were first sketched out onpaper, and the client looked for suitable items based on the drawings. The cabinet, where the sink was built in, was made by Italian craftsmen. One of the customers works for a company that specializes in the supply of Italian furniture. The bed was made of foam blocks, and then covered with wood on top, then a mattress was put on. Above it is a beautiful canopy, which is close in style to the bed, and therefore looks harmonious. It also has hidden lighting.
Small space solution
The designer decided to increase the space with the help ofcombining several functions: the front door also serves as a large mirror, the painting in the kitchen, depicting the famous adventurer Corto Maltese, is also a clock. This decorative element was created based on sketches by the Italian graphic artist Hugo Pratt. But the windowsill in the kitchen was replaced with a dining table. Storage systems were carefully planned throughout the house. An amazing built-in wardrobe was installed in the hallway and in the bedroom. But if you pay attention to the living room, you will hardly notice the furniture. Therefore, the room seems much larger.
Items of pride
The main pride of this complex project wasthe fact that the designer managed to bring the clients' wishes to life and not deviate from the original idea. The clients did everything themselves, and Elina only supervised, and everyone consulted together when they encountered difficulties. The features also include bright wallpaper in the bedroom, the absence of a traditional bed and window, and a combination of glass inserts and lighting on the ceiling.
