We tell the story through Lidia Bolshakova's project

Lidia Bolshakova from NW-INTERIOR studio created a modern classic interior in the clients' new apartment. A 62 square meter space accommodated a kitchen-living room and two bedrooms. However, the most attention-grabbing part is the finishing touches and furniture. The designer chose a neutral beige color palette without bright accents. Thanks to interesting techniques and carefully selected material combinations, the interior does not look boring — and additionally, visually expands the space. We explain how this was achieved.

Kitchen-Living Room

The kitchen cabinet is corner-shaped, and the furniture was built into two niches. The facade color matches the wall color, so the kitchen doesn't look bulky. To prevent it from fully blending into the decor, a more contrasting stone was chosen for the backsplash and countertop.

The furniture arrangement in the living room is standard — a sofa facing the TV. However, this area doesn't seem ordinary due to the striking wall decoration behind the sofa. These are veneered panels in a pleasant natural wood tone, which adorned a very large round mirror that expands the room's boundaries.

Bedroom

In the bedroom, the headboard wall was finished with relief panels and mirrors — it seems like the room expands in the opposite direction. The picture appears to hang in mid-air.

Guest Room

The second bedroom is used as a guest room and office. The space was divided by a small partition to create two niches: one for a wardrobe, the other for a sofa.

Bathroom

The bathroom turned out quite spacious: a shower in the original construction, a toilet with an installation and a cabinet for storage on order. Due to identical finishing and ceiling lighting, the room looks bigger than it actually is.

Hallway

The hallway also didn't go without mirrors. The room's volume is further enhanced by large decor elements: for example, a big painting above the console.
