The project’s customers are a family with two children. For them, it was necessary to create a light, bright and modern interior with a functional layout, providing for numerous storage systems and wear—resistant finishing materials – wood and stone. The owners wanted to get an interior “out of time”, so the designers used calm light tones and natural materials throughout the space.

The apartment was divided into general and private parts. In the first there is an entrance hall with a dressing room and a guest bathroom, a spacious kitchen-living room. In the corridor, for better sound insulation, a door is installed in such a way that noise from the kitchen and living room is not heard in the private area in which the master bedroom and two children’s rooms are located.

The same light color scheme, natural textures of wood and stone were used for the kitchen-living room. The bright accent of this room is the curtains from Nobilis, which combine the kitchen and living room area. The hostess fell in love with their color and pattern at first sight. The designers supported the color trend by choosing yellow-mustard upholstery of chairs in the dining room, brass inserts on the coffee table and golden stripes on the carpet.

The master bedroom has its own dressing room and bathroom, made in natural shades of wood and white marble. The decoration, furniture and curtains in similar calm tones were chosen for the bedroom — this technique, combined with a minimum of decor, allows you to achieve, on the one hand, a peaceful feeling for relaxation. On the other hand, working with different textures and fabrics makes the interior more relief and structural. In order not to leave the gray-beige walls in the living room and master bedroom empty, they were decorated with plaster moldings.

Children’s rooms have become the brightest accents of the interior. The color scheme of the room for the girl turned out to be light and airy. The designers used a muted shade of pink and diluted it with white and mint accents, and chose wallpaper with a pattern of clouds for the walls. The milk-colored furniture with pink inserts was designed specifically for the project.

The football theme fits delicately into the boy’s room. The customers wanted the interior of the apartment to remain relevant in a few years, and a very bright, thematically loaded room can quickly become outdated and boring to its owner. Therefore, the football reference — the field — turned out not to be contrasting and does not attract attention: the designers placed it on the ceiling. Other bright accents were added to the space, for example, a green cornice and bright green furniture, orange pillows diluted with the color of natural oak and black graphics.
