Apartment for a bold macho
So, our hero is a young man whoworks in real estate. He is 30. He is full of energy and does not like simple solutions either in life or in interior design. He is fond of the culture of the Far East, spends his free time in the mountains, snowboarding, so the cold is not scary for him - he is used to getting the better of winter. This man is also very freedom-loving, which was mainly reflected in the design of his apartment - it was decided to make a completely studio space. Victoria Lee, interior designer: - Why can it be called bold? For example, even because few people would make a glass door in the bedroom and a podium bed with lighting. Only creatively thinking individuals with an unconventional outlook on life dare to do this.
Layout features
When designer Victoria Lee started workon this project, she had a standard two-room Khrushchevka at her disposal. Considering the owner's character and his freedom-loving nature, Victoria decided to completely redesign the space. As a result, they decided to remove all the walls and make a studio apartment. Victoria Lee, interior designer: - Since the client is single and is not planning to get married anytime soon, we decided that the best option for him would be a studio. This became a good alternative to the two small rooms with a separate kitchen that were here initially. We got rid of all the walls, but decided to keep the zoning, for this we used a glass interior partition. It became a kind of highlight of this interior.
A question of style
Victoria herself characterizes the style of this apartmentas Scandinavian eco with a hint of minimalism and hi-tech. This choice was due to the customer's wishes - to make a stylish bachelor's apartment with hi-tech elements, where natural materials, metal and glass would be used to the maximum. So the apartment got stylish metal heating radiators, a glass partition, an ultra-modern hood and a TV on a bracket. Our hero is passionate about the culture of the Far East, which is why oriental notes appeared in the interior - photo wallpaper with an image of an architectural monument of Taiwan.
Peace and balance
Since the young man is very activelifestyle, constantly communicating with people and traveling, he imagined his interior to be calm and not flashy. Here he wanted to retire from the outside world, noisy communication and changing landscapes. Therefore, the color scheme was chosen in light tones. It creates a sense of balance, order, and tranquility. Our opinion: - Light wood makes the interior cozy, warm and pleasant. You want to admire its texture. It is always pleasant to touch and feel the warmth under your fingers. That is why wood is ideal for a winter interior, especially where winters are very harsh. In addition, natural wood is one of the best heat and sound insulating materials. It is used not only for the floor, but also for wall and ceiling cladding. Firstly, it is beautiful, and secondly, it is practical!
