Moscow vibe and secret room: a two-bedroom apartment with an open-plan layout in a 1945 building
Summary
Details
The ceilings were very high, and the space was small, yet we needed to fit in a wardrobe room and what’s known as a music room (the client loves to sing and record herself). So we decided to create a low wardrobe room next to the bedroom, with a relatively low room above it for musical instruments: keyboards, a microphone, and such. In the end, the clients moved to another country for work, and the room remained without equipment, so they didn’t rent it out.
The chandeliers in the living room are slightly different from each other; they aren’t a pair, but that’s not a problem. The very large lamps were necessary due to the high ceilings, requiring truly huge lighting fixtures. Those were also found at sales. In the kitchen, there’s a pendant chandelier, while in the bedroom, there’s a French chandelier from the 1950s. All the curtains were purchased from European outlet stores, and they were tailored in Moscow.
The main focus in the bathroom is the huge full-wall mirror, which visually expands the space and makes it brighter. On either side of the mirror are lamps that are beautifully reflected, doubling the amount of light and making the wall look more stylish and deeper.
The cabinet with a built-in sink was custom-made. The built-in sink looks neat and modern, and there is space under the countertop for storage and a washing machine. The tiles used in the trim match those on the kitchen and hallway floors, creating a cohesive look throughout the apartment.
