This apartment, located in a former apartment building in the center of Rostov, was purchased by designer Svetlana Andreeva-Shchepeteva and her husband at the height of the pandemic. Being isolated, the couple dreamed of traveling and wanted the interior of their new home to remind them of the days spent in Brussels, Amsterdam, Lisbon and other favorite cities of old Europe.

The layout of the apartment includes three rooms of equal size, connected by a straight wide corridor. “The unusual location of the bathroom became a definite challenge: it seemed to be an extension of the kitchen,” says Svetlana Andreeva—Shchepeteva. — As a result, we divided the space with a stained-glass partition with pointed imposts, repeating the shape of the facade windows. They, in turn, were restored on the model of the only window in the house preserved in its original form.”

“We tried to preserve the maximum of original details in the interior: oak parquet, high doors, ceiling moldings and an old floor board that was hidden under the linoleum in the kitchen. Having washed off the whitewash from the ceilings, we decided to leave the opened texture in some of the rooms. Massive wooden beams were preserved in the bathroom, and a shingle pattern was exposed and varnished on a section of the wall in the study.”

“When choosing furnishings, we sought to create a harmonious combination of old and new. We wanted the apartment to look like there was no 70-year-old era of communal apartments, and it was passed down from generation to generation in the same family, acquiring new things.”

“The living room has become the quintessence of the eclectic nature of the entire apartment. Here, the modern dining group of the Dutch brand Versmissen is adjacent to the English antique gramophone Academy in a Chinoiserie-style case. Samsung’s The Frame TV, mimicking a painting when turned off, hangs in front of a vintage Dutch landscape that breathes mystical drama.”

“In the kitchen, a laconic set without upper cabinets and with a black-and-white terrazzo countertop balances an ornate Louis XV-style chest of drawers that serves as a coffee area.”

“There are two iconic elements in the bedroom: a Chinese screen that replaced the headboard of the bed, and a large panel depicting a gloomy forest with lupines and magpies on the branches of trees.”

“The office windows overlook a cozy courtyard that resembles courtyards in Tbilisi. This gave me the idea to bring a touch of “boho”: bright yellow window frames, curtains with large buboes, a mustard-colored sofa and a wall decorated with photos of our travels to different countries.”
