They settled down in a house built in 1948, which was reconstructed in 2021, and conquered the couple with the presence of their own courtyard. The owners also asked me to make the space as functional and cozy as possible. Kitchen, IKEA. Hood, Jetair. Photo Elizaveta Gurovskaya style: Ekaterina Naumova Wall lamp, La Redoute.

The center of the space was occupied by the living room, which combines a kitchen-niche and an exit to the courtyard. Presenting the project, we already imagined how the newly-made hosts prepare lunch, communicating with the guests in parallel, and then, bypassing the living room, go outside and settle down at a small table.

In order not to block the light coming through the panoramic windows, we partially fenced the room with glass partitions. The wall in the middle was left for a reason — a radiator was placed on it.

Photo Elizaveta Gurovskaya style: Ekaterina Naumova Customers saw their new home in a calm monochrome palette, in which I fully supported them. To give the interior expressiveness, we carefully selected accents in the form of various shapes and textures. For example, in the living room, a long hanging cabinet is balanced by a box decorated with embossed plaster panels. The bedroom is decorated with wallpaper depicting a forest, and the bathroom combines several materials at once: wood, paint, glossy tiles and granite imitating marble. Floor hanger, Bergenson Bjorn.

In the evening, when it starts to get dark, you can light a fireplace and sconces in the living room. Above the kitchen island, we placed a linear lamp, which looks advantageous in combination with an island hood. The bathroom especially becomes charming when the wall lamp turns on and the game of glare from the walls, mirrors and glass partitions begins. Mirror, Mira. Cabinet, IKEA.
