Customers' dreams
The customer of the project was a successful Muscovite.She wanted a visual expansion of the space. Since she was used to a dynamic lifestyle, she wanted to surround herself with modern interior items. For this, the popular minimalism style was chosen.
Layout features
Since the area for a two-room apartment is relativelysmall, only 61 square meters, it was decided to combine the kitchen and living room. At the same time, it was possible to divide a single space, which was done with a sliding partition. At the request of the customer, two small dressing rooms were created - in the bedroom and in the hallway. Yulia Kirpicheva, designer: - One of the conditions of the redevelopment was to provide the maximum area for the bathroom. Thanks to the complex configuration of the room, we were able to achieve this goal and make it spacious enough.
Color scheme
Since the goal of the project is to make spacevisually larger, then a pastel color scheme was used to decorate the apartment, where beige and light brown act as auxiliary shades.
Lighting scenarios
The living room uses a combination of spotlightslight and a luminous ceiling: built-in lighting and a transparent woven fabric that softly diffuses the light, while visually raising the ceilings and increasing the space. The corridor is illuminated by spotlights and decorative sconces on the mirror. Interestingly, this technique plays on increasing the light in the room (due to reflection). Built-in lighting was installed in the kitchen area, as in the living room. To highlight the dining area, a designer Flos Skygarden lamp was installed above the countertop. Built-in lamps serve as the main lighting in the bedroom. To create an intimate atmosphere, table lamps were placed on the bedside tables, and sconces were placed on the wall.

The walls in the bedroom and hallway were covered with wallpaper from European manufacturers. Porcelain stoneware, as well as floor and wall tiles from Johnson Tiles, were used to cover the kitchen, balcony and bathroom.
