We spend most of our time in Munich, and we come to St. Petersburg for work and to visit friends and relatives. We wanted to create a clean, not overloaded with decor space with thoughtful functionality,” says Ekaterina. Sofa, Delo Design. Coffee table, Eburet. Carpet, H&M Home. Curtains and cornices, IKEA.

To make the interior as light and airy as possible, we removed the partition, combining the kitchen, dining room, living room and bedroom. The furniture structure that passes from the hallway into the common living space helps to differentiate the functional zones. She combined a wardrobe, a glass cabinet with lighting and a column in which a refrigerator and an oven are built in.” On the wall is a painting by Asi Gorshunova. Dining table, Tohma.

A single color solution expands the boundaries of space, and the absence of a floor skirting board and a ceiling cornice eliminates unnecessary joining of materials, creating a holistic image.” Kitchen, carpentry workshop “Interior”.

In the sleeping area there is a shelving and a hanging table with a soft pouf, additional drawers for storing linen are provided inside the base of the bed.” Hallway. Stool, H&M Home.

Its expressive texture is emphasized by soft illumination.
