This Moscow apartment belongs to a married couple with two teenage sons. “The customers had two main wishes. Firstly, they asked us to remove the third bathroom, due to which we managed to organize a walk-through dressing room at the bedroom. And secondly, it was important to place a huge library of spouses without turning the apartment into a branch of Leninka,” says designer Kirill Sakharov.

The kitchen is made to order by the company “Imperial furniture”.

“We separated the main room of the apartment — the kitchen-living room — from the hallway with a radius wall decorated with marble mosaics with a 3D effect. All carpentry products were made to order according to the designer’s sketches, taking into account ergonomics and the wishes of the customer. The kitchen attracts attention with its smooth lines and the iridescent beige-golden shade of the facades. In the living room, the largest in terms of volume and function is a built-in wardrobe with a place for a TV. Blind and glass facades alternate in a staggered manner, which sets the dynamics of the interior.”

“We placed the door leading from the living room to the bedroom inside the built-in bookcase, making it secret according to the old tradition. The main accent in the bedroom interior was a yellow-orange onyx slab, standing out against the background of gray-blue walls covered with decorative plaster.”

“The children’s room for teenage boys was also decorated with decorative plaster in the Venetian sfumato technique. We took several shades – from light beige to yellow — and shaded them so that there is no clear transition between them. The light color scheme is diluted by the dark blue color of the beds and armchairs.”

“The customers asked that the bathrooms not differ much from each other, so we kept them in one black and white palette. Nevertheless, in order to highlight and emphasize the elevated status of the main bathroom, we decorated one of the walls with a decorative panel of white marble with brass inserts made in the form of one of the symbols of Art Deco – the peacock’s tail.”
