This apartment belongs to a young girl who lives and works in two cities: Moscow and Milan. Our task was to create an interior in the spirit of Parisian apartments — light, airy, with vintage and modern details,” says designer Sabina Valieva.

“The apartment was originally with a free layout. We tried to create the most open multifunctional space, so it was decided to divide the kitchen-living room area and the bedroom with the help of transparent sliding partitions. Despite the relatively small area, in addition to the main functional areas, we managed to organize separate dressing rooms in the bedroom and hallway.”

“In order to recreate the atmosphere of a Paris apartment, when developing a color solution, we preferred muted tones. The entire living space is made in a delicate pistachio shade, and the combination of white kabanchik tiles and light pink paint gives the bathroom a special charm. We also tried to link classical and modern elements together.”

“In the hallway we are greeted by a large mirror in a gilded patinated frame. It is complemented by a vintage sconce from the 1960s. A black console on elegant carved legs harmoniously combines with an ultra-modern mirror with blue edging.”

“Then we get into the common space, where there is a dining area, a small comfortable sofa and a kitchen set. We decided not to bring the upper cabinets of the kitchen to the ceiling so that it would seem higher. The open exhaust pipe gives the kitchen a slight carelessness characteristic of Parisian apartments. The dining area is emphasized by a plaster rosette and a modern frame lamp. Its soft shapes echo the smooth lines of the stucco.”

“The bedroom is located behind glass partitions, which, if necessary, can be additionally closed with dense white tulle. The center of the room is occupied by a bed with a minimalist headboard, and above it is an Italian chandelier made of large glass beads. The dressing table is made to order by Turkish craftsmen and its shape and color resembles furniture from the 60s and 70s. To the right of the bed, we put a French-style mirror, which creates a contrast with the table next to it made of recycled plastic. A thick curtain hides the main dressing room, where we have also provided a place to store an ironing board and an iron.”
