Super Elegant Apartment with the Spirit of England

November 23, 2017

Can notes of English style be brought into an apartment in the heart of Moscow? Sure! The flat we’d like to show you today we’ll surely inspire you with its mood of perfect elegance and evergreen classics.

This place belongs to a married couple of middle-aged lawyers with two grown up kids. What they wanted from an interior designer they hired was a reserved and unostentatious classical interior combined with a non-standard approach to decoration and English accents.

The color scheme was based on the tastes of the clients, which perfectly matched the view of the author of the project. The lighting sources were selected based on the dominating hues of décor and the chosen English spirit in mind.

Almost 90% of furnishing for this interior was custom-made. Even the sketches of doors were prepared by the designer and painted using the samples she’d prepared. The same is true for all the closets and their color schemes.

The gorgeous traditional-style kitchen suite with English notes was custom-made in sunny Italy within just 45 days.

The space that is penetrated with the spirit of the foggy Albion to the greatest extent is, perhaps, the living room. It features iconic chequered wallpaper, furnishing with elements of Georgian and Victorian eras and matching lamps that one may find in every traditional British house.

As some kind of a compromise between classics and English style, the walls were partially wallpapered and partially painted with a monochrome paint. Some of them are decorated with mirrors in bespoke frames that look like pieces of art each.

At the final stage of the project home textile was picked out. The entire flooring is made in natural oak of grayish beige tint and coated with natural oils.

Tiles for bathrooms represent a mixture of different collections: such an approach is the designer’s favorite trick – she adores matching tiles of different brands, shapes and colors in a harmonious composition within a tight space.
