The interior of this apartment was designed by designer Tatiana Arkhipova for a young independent girl. Her priorities were a spacious dressing room and bathroom, as well as a place for a piano in the living room. “We didn’t get the most successful layout from the developer, Tatiana recalls. — On a long narrow rectangle of the square, windows were placed on one short side. But the client chose this apartment intentionally, and we turned the disadvantages into advantages by placing a dressing room and a bathroom in a dark area.”

The customer wanted to get a minimalistic interior, but during the discussion it became clear that austerity and asceticism are not close to her. Then more decorative elements appeared in the space: plaster moldings, colored textiles. The walls, floor and ceiling, decorated in a calm gray, are diluted with an airy chandelier, a graphic carpet and an armchair (the property of the hostess’s family), repainted in a printed fabric. “And later we fell in love with an interesting three—dimensional tile from Harmony and placed it on the wall, allocating space for the piano,” adds Tatiana.

The project budget was limited, but this did not prevent us from creating good engineering equipment and paying attention to furniture and finishing materials. Many pieces of furniture are made to order. The final touches were a painting over the sofa in the living room, a panel behind the headboard in the bedroom, brass accents in the kitchen, which helped complete the image.

“In every interior I want to emphasize the personality of its owner,” recalls Tatiana, “and here, I think, I succeeded. Probably the funniest thing is to break stereotypes. For example, builders and glass manufacturers have long dissuaded us from a shower partition without a door. As a result, we conducted a lot of tests “for splashes” to put aside all doubts, but we were able to implement this idea!”
