Layout

The original layout from the developer was changed - the partitions in the hallway, kitchen and living room were dismantled, many niches for storage systems were planned. It was not possible to combine the kitchen with the living room, since there is a ventilation shaft between the rooms.

Living room

The walls and ceiling in the living room were decorated with paint. The ledges in the corners were sheathed with wood paneling. An unusual solution was chosen for the TV zone - a section of the wall under the TV was highlighted with embossed tiles, and the joint of materials was masked with a gilded molding. Mirror canvases were also used in the decoration - they were used to form a corner next to the working area.

The place for work was arranged in a niche. The wall behind the desk was covered with photowall-paper with a brutal print; the owner of the apartment works here.

Kitchen

Laminate and porcelain stoneware have been combined on the kitchen floor. The headset was lined up in a linear fashion. The pink fronts of the lower tier create an unusual contrast with dark appliances and cabinet cases.

The island acts as a dining table, which was taken out to the center of the room. Storage systems with dark glass doors were built into niches located symmetrically from it. They echo the facades of the wall cabinets.

Bedroom

Thanks to various textures, the interior of the bedroom looks dynamic - paint on the walls, soft panels with a "goose foot" pattern and wood panels already familiar from the living room. The cabinet doors were selected to match the latter.

A hanging dressing table helps save space - it is leaning against the wall and looks weightless due to the lack of legs.

Hallway

The "dirty" area in the hallway was highlighted with terrazzo tiles. A muted terracotta shade of paint was used to decorate the walls. As in other rooms, there are wood paneling and mirrors. The repetitive materials make the interior look solid.

Bathroom

Several types of tiles and porcelain stoneware were used to decorate the bathroom. Bold combinations helped to make the interior brighter and more interesting - the textures of wood and marble are in harmony with plain green and geometric motifs. And the black elements - shower partition profiles, plumbing fixtures and a heated towel rail - add contrast.
