Lena Kharkova designed a comfortable layout, placed many storage systems, and chose anti-vandal finishes

Lena Kharkova decorated a 104 sq. m apartment in St. Petersburg for her family. The designer used various interesting techniques and experimented with finishes in the interior. She wanted to create a home that would inspire creativity and new projects. We're sharing details of the renovation.

Layout

The family consists of two adults, two children of different genders, and a dog — comfortable conditions had to be created for everyone. The kitchen-dining room was combined, and part of the space was separated to create a bedroom with a wardrobe. Children's rooms were made identical, with small wardrobes. Two bathrooms were also set up for convenience.

Kitchen-Dining Room

The kitchen cabinet was installed in a 'P' shape, with a bar counter on one side. The furniture was custom-made according to the designer's project. For the doors, they chose a combination of light blue and wood texture. All appliances are built-in.

The living room area accommodated a comfortable sofa and TV cabinet. The finish in the kitchen-dining room is quite simple — wall painting in a pleasant warm tone and laminate flooring.

Bedroom

In the bedroom, a space for a full wardrobe was set aside to hide storage from view. The bed was placed with its headboard facing the wardrobe partition. Opposite it, a compact desk that also serves as a console. The finish focused on paint and decorative moldings.

Children's Rooms

The partition between the children’s rooms was removed and rebuilt so that each room has a small separate wardrobe. "This is not only a recipe for relative order in the children's room, but also an opportunity for kids to have fun — drawing on walls and sticking stickers is allowed in the wardrobe," — Lena Kharkova explains.

All wardrobes are equipped with IKEA frames. In the daughter's room, a vintage cabinet was placed — it was taken from an old house in the center of St. Petersburg.

Bathroom

The apartment has two bathrooms: one with a bathtub and another with a shower. For the bathtub room, light small-format tiles and a joyful orange color for the walls were chosen. The space was expanded using arch-shaped mirrors.

The shower area is more strict and minimalist. For the finish, tiles in sand and brown tones were used.

Entrance Hall and Corridor

The corridor has many doors, so they were made identical to avoid visual chaos. The door to the hidden storage closet was painted in the wall color.
