Style: Daria Grigorieva Previously, there was an office with suspended ceilings and dozens of small offices. Returning the rooms to their original appearance, the designers found a lot of interesting details. So, after dismantling unnecessary structures, high ceilings (3.40 m) and a free layout were opened, which did not change much. Photo Sergey Krasyuk. Style: Daria Grigorieva Photo Sergey Krasyuk.

Style: Daria Grigorieva “Our customers have lived in Paris for a long time and wanted to keep the French mood in their new Moscow apartment. The owners still have a lot of vintage furniture that they brought with them. This determined the style of the future project.” Photo Sergey Krasyuk. Style: Daria Grigorieva Photo Sergey Krasyuk.

There was a place for vintage theater chairs in the hallway. Photo Sergey Krasyuk. Style: Daria Grigorieva 1/2 Photo: Sergey Krasyuk. Style: Daria Grigorieva “This project is very dear to us. He walked easily, largely due to the delicate taste of the customer. When you manage to find trust and agreement in working with a client, and your tastes coincide, the result is something beautiful.” Bed, Flou. Photo Sergey Krasyuk.

These are the beautiful high windows that were not even covered with curtains, and the deep blue color in the bedroom along with the never-out-of-fashion wallpaper with Fornasetti clouds, and plaster combined with gray onyx in the bathroom. Chest of drawers, chair, plaster wall sconces, everything is vintage. Wallpaper Nuvolette, collection Fornasetti, Cole & Son. Solid wood floors, “Golden Forest”. Photo Sergey Krasyuk. Style: Daria Grigorieva “But the most unusual item was the bookcase in the living room. The right side of it is a secret door to the office. When it is closed, you will never understand that another room is hidden behind it,” the designers tell about the main secret of the apartment. 1/2 Photo: Sergey Krasyuk.
